Israel announced Monday the cancellation of a policy by which it would deport African migrants to African countries -- sending them instead to Western countries.
The Israeli government said it reached a deal to scrap the contentious plan after it met with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

A new poll reports that Facebook’s popularity plummeted this month after reports that a company working for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign stole private information from millions of the social media company’s users.

"And it’s hard to believe then that when Republicans lose the House in 2018, maybe by 40 or 50 seats, that House is not going to impeach him," he said.
