Democrats say Trump’s immigration crackdown has undermined efforts to combat human trafficking

House Democrats say US anti-trafficking efforts have been hamstrung by diversion of resources to immigration raids

A diversion of law enforcement personnel and resources to assist with Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign and deployments to US cities has undermined the government’s efforts to combat child exploitation and human trafficking, Democratic lawmakers warned.

In the letter, sent on Wednesday and first shared with the Guardian, nearly two dozen House Democrats demand that the homeland security and justice departments “immediately” restore full staffing and resources to their anti-trafficking divisions. It also makes reference to the Jeffrey Epstein investigative files, arguing that the government’s failure to publicly release the full scope of the documents in its possession “damages trust in institutions meant to deliver justice”.

‘Where the World is Melting’ Documents Communities Amid Indelible Changes in the Arctic

‘Where the World is Melting’ Documents Communities Amid Indelible Changes in the Arctic

A photojournalist for the Icelandic daily newspaper Morgunblaðið for 44 years, Ragnar Axelsson is attuned to capturing the moments that tell a story. Mundane activities, impending tragedies, and tender connections between people and animals all figure prominently in his work and offer a portrait of life that comes from being embedded within a community.

Axelsson’s new book, Where the World is Melting, applies this journalistic rigor and sensibility to a personal project documenting the indelible impacts of a warming planet from Greenland to Siberia. In grainy black and white, snow-covered tundras and misty shorelines strikingly glimpse an environment in flux. One image in particular reveals a cloud of steam emanating from the melting Kötlujökull glacier in Iceland.

Where the World is Melting focuses on the aging farmers, sled teams, and Indigenous populations all grappling with both drastic changes to their homelands and the traditions they’ve practiced for generations. “What does the future hold for the reindeer herders living in the tundra? Nobody really knows,” Axelsson tells Blind. “A photograph is only a small piece in the jigsaw that makes up the big picture, but sometimes it is these small pieces that open our eyes to the broader reality.”

Available through Kehrer Verlag, Where the World is Melting accompanies an exhibition of Axelsson’s photos on view through May 26, 2029, at the Ernst Leitz Museum in Wetzlar, Germany. Find more of his work on Instagram.

Politie heeft Høiby nog niet verhoord over nieuwe aanklachten

OSLO (ANP) - Marius Borg Høiby is nog niet door de politie verhoord voor de nieuwe aanklachten die zondag tegen hem zijn ingediend. Die verhoren vinden op een later moment plaats, zei de politie woensdag tegen het Noorse persbureau NTB.

De zoon van de Noorse kroonprinses Mette-Marit werd zondag opgepakt op verdenking van mishandeling, bedreiging met een mes en het schenden van een contactverbod. Naar aanleiding daarvan werd hij voor vier weken in voorlopige hechtenis genomen. De incidenten zouden zondag hebben plaatsgevonden.

De aanklachten komen bovenop de 38 strafbare feiten waarvoor Høiby al terechtstaat. Zijn proces begon dinsdag en duurt naar verwachting zeven weken.
