US Betrayed Me For Deporting My Mom, Says US Army Officer (CNN) A US Army officer got a call he was dreading on Thursday. His mom had been deported to Mexico. She called her family from the other side of the border to let them know. "I feel betrayed, to be honest," 2nd Lt. Gibram Cruz told CNN affiliate KSWB. "A country that I'm serving, which I've served proudly... These policies that are put in place to keep my family safe have let me severely down." Cruz and his family had been trying for months to convince officials to let his mother, Rocio Rebollar Gomez, remain in the United States. The case drew national attention last month when the US Army officer flew home for the holidays and told the San Diego Union-Tribune he feared it would be their last Christmas together.

Reno Omokri, former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has identified the late former military Head of State, Sani Abacha, as the biggest thief in world history, stating that 21-years after, more loots linked to the former dictator were still being uncovered. Omokri was responding to the claim by Nasir El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State, that Northerners are rarely arrested for advance fee fraud, popularly known in local parlance as Yahoo Yahoo. Speaking at the Northern Youth summit organised by Northern Hibiscus Initiative in Kaduna on Saturday, El-Rufai said although the North was the most backward and uneducated region in Nigeria, it was a thing of pride that Northerners were rarely arrested for Yahoo Yahoo and other financial crimes. El-Rufai had said: “Nigeria consists of two countries; there is a backward, less educated and unhealthy northern Nigeria, and a developing, largely educated and healthy southern Nigeria. We have to speak the truth to ourselves and ask why is it t...
