Under the policy, tens of thousands of asylum seekers and migrants have been forced to wait in Mexican border towns while their immigration claims are processed in the U.S. According to figures released this week by Human Rights First, Homeland Security officials have forced more than 57,000 asylum seekers and migrants to return to Mexico to await the outcomes of their claims. And the organization says that 25,000 of them have been turned back to Nuevo Laredo and Matamoros, two cities in the notoriously dangerous state of Tamaulipas, a region with a Level 4 “Do Not Travel” advisory—the same threat level given to Syria, Afghanistan, Iran and Libya....

That’s a career that included an American League Rookie of the Year, two MVPs and two Sporting News Player of the Year awards, a World Series ring and 3,184 hits. Those things are well known. What does not get talked about a lot with Ripken is his play at shortstop, where he won two Gold Gloves and remains tied as the tallest player, at 6-4, ever to play the position....

The successful launch of stimulus packages and expansion of the child tax credit program was evidence to many mayors that providing federal funds to struggling Americans is not an implausible concept. Dozens of cities and counties in the U.S. have launched initiatives that allocate no-strings-attached funds to low-income citizens and then monitor the effect. For example, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s most recent budget added a $24 million guaranteed income program that would send $1,000 every month to 2,000 poor families, the Associated Press reported....

Morikawa, 22, carded a flawless five-under-par 65 to top the leaderboard at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu on Thursday. Eyeing his second PGA Tour title after winning the 2019 Barracuda Championship, Morikawa holed five birdies in a bogey-free round to be ahead of Matt Jones, Ted Potter Jr., Ryan Palmer and Sam Ryder. The opening round was suspended due to darkness, with 14 players yet to complete their 18 holes....

Australia reached 201 for seven at lunch after adding 91 runs to their precarious overnight position of 110 for six. They were 287 runs behind South Africa’s first innings total. South African fast bowler Morne Morkel, playing in his final Test, had to leave the field with a side strain as Australian captain Tim Paine (47 not out) and Pat Cummins (50) built a defiant 99-run partnership. A message from the South African dressing room said Morkel had suffered a similar injury to that which kept him out of action for two months earlier in the season, although he was receiving treatment and it was hoped he would be able to take the field later in the match....

The Atlas Lions dominated proceedings but ended up pointless when substitute Bouhaddouz’s last minute own goal handed Iran a famous win. The late drama sparked wild celebrations from the Iran bench in St Petersburg as Carlos Queiroz’s side took three points from a game in which they were second best for long periods. Renard’s team were well-organised but Morocco extended their record of never having won their opening game in the tournament despite dominating the match and carving out opportunities to score either side of half-time....

The President of the Normalisation Committee of the Cameroon Football Federation, Dieudonne Happi and the President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, Fouzi Lekjaa reiterated the strong ties between both countries in a joint press conference held in Morocco. With the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations set to host 24 teams, the Moroccan Football Federation disclosed its commitment to assist the 2017 Afcon champions in making next year’s tournament a success....

To be the bearer of bad news, as for now, it seems that Monster Hunter Rise won’t support crossplay between Switch and PC players. Capcom has yet to say much about the upcoming PC port, besides the fact that it’s coming, and the company has not supported that functionality in the past for older Monster Hunter games that have come to PC, such as Monster Hunter: World and Iceborne....

RELATED: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak - How To Get Torpor Sac Players that hope to survive the latest difficulty spike found throughout Master Rank will need to better equip themselves. Thankfully, after players begin their journey, they’ll gain access to a new Blacksmith (and the old Blacksmiths in Kamura will follow suit) that is capable of producing some Master Rank armor with the new parts and pieces collected from the stronger monsters that hunters will encounter....

One of the many materials that hunters can seek to harvest from Goss Harag is the Dense Block of Ice. This crafting material is used to upgrade several weapons, and with its fairly high chance of dropping over the course of a regular fight and quest completion, this guide seeks to help players maximize their chances of getting one as soon as possible.

Capcom held an event for Monster Hunter Rise, releasing a new trailer and finally revealing the launch date for the anticipated demo. The demo can be accessed from the Nintendo eShop with your Nintendo Account, and up to four players can play the demo locally. However, the Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to play the Online Multiplayer version, which costs $3.99 per month, $7.99 for three months, or $19....

Monster Hunter Rise is taking a little different approach to endemic life than other entries in the Monster Hunter series. Although there are still smaller monsters to farm materials from like bombadgies and izuchis, there now exist several creatures that simply exist to provide benefits to hunters. Some of these creatures provide permanent stamina or attack buffs, while others can be collected and used offensively against monsters.

The Wings of Ruin amiibos are exclusive to GameStop, and like the ones for the original Monster Hunter Stories title, using them unlocks quests and special items. The collectibles also unlock exclusive costumes for the player character, such as the Ena amiibo, giving a costume of her outfit for the female avatar to wear.

Beat the Story To gain access to tempered monsters, you first have to complete the main storyline. Take your time and have fun. Monster Hunter: World received its high review scores for a reason. Reach Hunter Rank 49 After beating the main storyline, you’ll need to reach Hunter Rank 49. To do this, keep completing the quests provided to you – namely ones that involve hunting tempered monsters. These are all more powerful versions of the monsters encountered on your journey....

While most Monster Hunter World players will still have some optional quests to clean up as part of the endgame and in order to collect every mantle, by and large tempered investigations are where they will spend the bulk of their time. Tempered monster investigations are a great source for jewels/decorations and at the higher Hunter Rank levels (HR 50+) they will offer stones for armor and weapon augmentation....

Upgrading armor and weapons can get pricey in Monster Hunter: World, and hunters need to consider how they can earn a steady income to keep up with these expenses. So, if you’re short on dough, it’s time to throw – down, that is. Engaging in the Triple Threat Throwdown event continues to be a rewarding and lucrative strategy when building up a fortune. All it takes is a little preparation....

As seen below in the latest trailer for Monster Hunter World, the narrator walks viewers through the world of Rotten Vale, which is particularly known for its “putrid smells, toxic ecology, rotting carcasses, and some rather resilient monsters.” Speaking of which, it apparently won’t take long until players encounter the area’s first monster, Radoban, which is a “skeleton scoundrel who coats his tar-like body in the bones of fallen monsters....

In a tweet from the official Monster Hunter Twitter page, Capcom revealed some juicy info about the next update; Iceborne Version 15.10.

Patti Baumgartner of Finley Point has taken to the streets around her home near Flathead Lake, brandishing the blower like a radar gun in an effort to make people drive more carefully. “They forget to slow down and there are lots of people that are complaining about that, they can’t walk or ride their bikes,” Baumgartner told KRTV on Friday. “I wouldn’t even attempt riding a bike around.” She said she was discussing with friends how to slow cars down, and “we decided to put me in a chair and I guess use the hair dryer as a speed thing....

That scenario unfolded at Fenway Park on Friday night, albeit with a unique twist, as Boston Red Sox slugger Mookie Betts met 10-year-old Nico Sapienza through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Sapienza hoped Betts would hit a home run, and the reigning AL MVP delivered much more than that, crushing three homers and a double in a 10-5 victory over the New York Yankees. The home runs came in Betts’ first three at-bats, against New York starter James Paxton....
