DONALD J. TRUMP, the former president of the United States, pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts in a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday. The charges are related to accusations that he orchestrated a hush-money scheme to cover up a potential sex scandal during the 2016 election. This case marks the beginning of Trump’s journey through the criminal justice system, as he also faces three other criminal investigations in Georgia and Washington related to accusations of undermining an election and mishandling sensitive government records.

The US-Mexico border has been a hot spot for illegal immigration, with thousands of migrants crossing every year in search of better economic opportunities and safety from violence and persecution in their home countries. The journey to the border is dangerous and migrants face many risks, including the risk of assault, robbery, kidnapping, and exposure to extreme weather conditions. The US government has implemented policies to deter illegal immigration, but they have faced criticism from human rights organizations and have done little to address the root causes of migration.
