Migrants living in US under temporary protected status should either apply for permanent residency or return to their home countries, Homeland Security secretary Markwayne Mullin has said, following a US supreme court ruling that could lead to major changes in immigration protections.Speaking on CNN’s State of the Union, Mullin said those affected should either regularise their status or prepare to leave, adding that the government could assist with departure arrangements.“Either try to fill out the paperwork and be here underneath a permanent status or we'll help you get back to your country,” Mullin said.“We'll actually give you a plane ticket, plus roughly $2,100 to help you re-establish when you get there, but temporary protective status, according to the courts and in its name itself, is not permanent status,” he added.His comments came after a split US supreme court decision that cleared the way for the Trump administration to revoke humanitarian protections for hundred..

Nigerian proverb of the day (AI-generated image) Have you ever flinched at something completely harmless, simply because it reminded you of an old hurt? A Nigerian proverb captures that feeling perfectly. One who has been bitten by a snake lives in fear of worms, it says. Among the Igbo people, where the saying is well known, it speaks a truth everyone recognises the moment they hear it. After a real and painful bite, even a harmless little worm wriggling in the soil can send a shiver down the spine. The snake did the damage, but the fear spreads to anything that even faintly resembles it. The proverb is the African cousin of the English phrase once bitten, twice shy. In a handful of plain words, it captures how deeply pain teaches us caution, and how that caution can quietly outgrow the very danger that caused it.Nigerian proverb of the day”One who has been bitten by a snake lives in fear of worms.”Meaning of the proverbOn the surface the image is simple.
