Johnson’s “Rwanda” statement protests in London

Following British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s announcement that illegal immigrants to England could be resettled in the African country of Rwanda as of January 1, dozens of people protested and took to the streets. Hundreds of people gathered in front of the Ministry of Interior in London, England’s capital, and marched to Parliament Square to protest Johnson’s Rwanda statement.

“From January 1, those who arrived in the UK illegally could be resettled in Rwanda,” Johnson said. “Rwanda will have the capacity to resettle tens of thousands of people in the coming years,” he said.

It was also stated that the UK would initially provide 120 million pounds of support for the partnership signed with Rwanda.

Flood Emergency Paralyzes NYC and New Jersey

0

A state of emergency was declared in New Jersey due to severe flash flooding, while parts of New York City, including the subway system, were submerged by heavy rainfall.

Governor Phil Murphy urged residents to stay home, as submerged vehicles and flooded roads paralyzed districts like Somerville and Plainsville. In New York City, subway lines 1, 2, and 3 were suspended, with water pouring into stations like 23rd Street. Social media footage showed stairwells turning into waterfalls and passengers stranded in subway cars.

Floodwaters also disrupted traffic on Manhattan’s FDR Drive. Nearly 18 million people across the East Coast, including in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, remain under flood warnings.
