Kamala Harris Reaffirms Commitment to Border Security During U.S.-Mexico Visit
Vice President Kamala Harris took to her X handle, formerly known as Twitter, to emphasize her commitment to border security and the fight against transnational crime.
Reflecting on her previous role as Attorney General of California, Harris highlighted her extensive experience in prosecuting criminal organizations involved in the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings.
She stressed the critical importance of safeguarding the nation’s borders to protect communities from these dangerous activities.
Harris shared details of her recent visit to the U.S.-Mexico border, where she engaged with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials to assess the ongoing efforts to enhance border security.
The Vice President praised the progress made in securing the border and commended the dedicated work of law enforcement personnel in addressing the influx of illegal fentanyl and other drugs that pose a significant threat to public health and safety.
During her discussions with CBP officials, Harris focused on the measures being taken to disrupt the flow of illicit substances into the country.
She underscored the need for a comprehensive strategy that includes strengthening border infrastructure, increasing the use of advanced technology, and enhancing cooperation with international partners to dismantle the criminal networks responsible for trafficking.
Harris’s visit to the border comes as the Biden administration faces increasing pressure to address the challenges posed by illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
The Vice President reiterated her administration’s commitment to a multifaceted approach that not only targets criminal organizations but also addresses the root causes of migration and drug smuggling.
In her message, Harris conveyed a sense of urgency and determination, emphasizing that the security of the U.S. border is a top priority for the administration.
She acknowledged the complexities of the issue but expressed confidence in the progress being made.
Harris also called for continued support and collaboration from lawmakers and communities to ensure the safety and security of the nation.
As the administration works to strengthen border security and combat the flow of illegal drugs, Harris’s visit serves as a reminder of her personal dedication to these issues and her ongoing efforts to protect American families from the dangers posed by transnational crime.
Nigerian Politician and Human Rights Activist, Omoyele Sowore shows up to defend and support the NYSC corp member that has been threatened.
It can be recalled that a viral video has made its way to the country. A young lady who is serving the country laments about the government and President.
The viral video also gained the attention of NYSC, resulting to messaging the corp member. The message ordered the removal of the video and for the lady to report the office on 17th of March, 2025.
However fellow Nigerians and activists have spoken out and called to defend the Corp member against any official threat.
It was reported that Sowore arrived to the local government of the corp member to showcase support in handling the case.
Omoyele Sowore and some activists, including lawyers, accompanied Ushie Uguamaye, a Lagos-based National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member known as Raye, to meet with her Local Government Inspector (LGI) after she was summoned over a viral video.
Raye recently gained attention after she criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration in a TikTok video posted under her handle #talktoraye. In the video, she expressed frustration over Nigeria’s worsening economic situation and blamed Tinubu for the country’s struggles, even calling him a “terrible leader.”
Shortly after her comments went viral, Raye claimed that NYSC officials had started threatening her. As a result, she was called to appear at the LGI’s office on Monday for questioning.
On Monday, Sowore, alongside several lawyers, including Festus Ogun, Yinka Oyesomi, and Justice Ojienoh, accompanied Raye to the office to support her. However, according to Sowore, the NYSC officials were nowhere to be found. He shared on his X handle that the LGI failed to show up despite Raye being scheduled to appear.
In a recent development, former Anambra State Governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has voiced strong support for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member Ushie Rita Uguamaye, also known as Raye.
Raye recently gained attention after posting a TikTok video expressing her frustrations over the rising cost of living in Nigeria. In the video, she tearfully stated the increasing prices of goods and services, questioning the current administration’s efforts to address these economic challenges.
Following the video’s circulation, Raye alleged that she received threats from NYSC officials, pressuring her to remove the content and cautioning her against making political statements online.
Peter Obi took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account to condemn these alleged threats, stating that such actions are antithetical to the principles of democracy. He emphasized that silencing citizens reflects a corrupt and undemocratic government.
Obi also shared his personal experiences of facing intimidation and harassment for offering constructive criticism of government policies.
Obi called on the current administration to reflect deeply on its approach to dissent, underscoring that constructive criticism is a cornerstone of democratic progress.
He urged Nigerians to stand firm and continue advocating for a nation where freedom of speech is upheld, and leadership remains accountable, especially in critical areas like education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation.
