Trump threatens to deploy troops to Baltimore to 'clean up' crime
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has threatened to deploy troops to Baltimore, escalating a clash with Maryland Governor Wes Moore after the Democrat invited him to join a "safety walk" in the city."If Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the 'troops,' which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime," Trump wrote on social media.The comments mark the latest flashpoint in the president's efforts to deploy National Guard troops to Democratic-led cities as part of what he calls a crackdown on crime.The use of military personnel for domestic law enforcement has drawn fierce backlash from Democrats. One governor described it as an "abuse of power".Trump has already deployed around 2,000 troops to...

Donald Trump
Appeals court throws out Trump's $500m civil fraud penalty
NEW YORK — An appeals court has thrown out a $500m (£372m) penalty that US President Donald Trump was ordered to pay in a New York civil fraud trial last year.Judge Arthur Engoron had ordered Trump to pay the fee for massively inflating the value of the Trump Organization's properties in order to secure favourable loans.In the lengthy ruling released on Thursday, judges on the New York Supreme Court's Appellate Division stated that while Trump was liable for the fraud, the fine of nearly half a billion dollars was excessive and probably violated constitutional protections against severe punishment.In the case Judge Engoron had ordered Trump to pay $355m, but with interest, that grew to more than $500m."While harm certainly occurred, it was not the cataclysmic harm that can...

Migrants deported from the US arrive in Honduras in January
US strikes deportation deals with Honduras and Uganda
WASHINGTON – The US has reached bilateral deportation agreements with Honduras and Uganda as part of its crackdown on illegal immigration, according documents obtained by the BBC's US partner CBS. Uganda has agreed to take an unclear number of African and Asian migrants who had claimed asylum on the US-Mexico border, while Honduras will receive several hundred deported people from Spanish-speaking countries, CBS reports. The move is part of an attempt by Donald Trump's administration to get more countries to accept deported migrants who are not their own citizens. Human rights campaigners have condemned the policy, saying migrants face the risk of being sent to countries where they could be harmed. Under the agreement, Uganda has agreed to accept deported migrants as...

Violence between cartels has surged in parts of Mexico in recent years
Six severed heads found on road in Mexico
MEXICO CITY — Six severed heads have been found on a road in central Mexico, in an area not normally associated with cartel violence.Local authorities made the discovery early on Tuesday morning on a route that links the broadly peaceful states of Puebla and Tlaxcala.Police have not given a motive for the killings or said which of the criminal groups operating in Mexico might have carried them out.Local media has reported that a blanket was left at the scene with a message issuing a warning to rival gangs and apparently signed by a group called "La Barredora", meaning "the sweeper".It is the same name as a little-known criminal group operating in the western state of Guerrero but it isn't clear if they were behind the attack or why.The local prosecutor's...
