Fifty Venezuelans sent to Martha's Vineyard

About 50 Venezuelan immigrants seeking asylum in the United States landed Wednesday afternoon on the island of Martha's Vineyard, off Cape Cod. And it wasn't for sightseeing. Lost and flabbergasted, these people were in spite of themselves at the heart of a political quarrel between Democrats and Republicans on the thorny question of American immigration policies. They met at Martha's Vineyard on the initiative of the Republican Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, who wanted to lecture the Democrats whose more liberal policies on irregular immigrants are irritating the opposing camp. “Residents of Martha's Vineyard should be thrilled,” quipped Christina Pushaw, a member of Mr. DeSantis' team, on Twitter.

(Washington) Influential Republican Senator Lindsey Graham introduced a bill on Tuesday that would ban abortion across the United States after 15 weeks of pregnancy, sparking immediate outcry in Joe Biden's camp. The right to abortion has been at the center of political debates since the Supreme Court's decision last June, which made each state free to ban it on its soil.

By banning abortion after 15 weeks, America "would be from a federal point of view at a fairly consistent level with the rest of the world", defended the elected official from South Carolina during a press conference.

"In general, it is rather seen as a good thing to be as reckless as the French,&quo
