 A Mother's Day Nightmare in Princeton, Illinois. A 3-year-old boy was struck by gunfire as police burst into a barricaded room, ending a frightening hostage situation. Multiple agencies responded to the Hummingbird Mobile Home Park in Princeton, Illinois, on Sunday, May 10th at 2:42 a.m. The initial call went out as a domestic disturbance but officers discovered much worse.  42-year-old, Anthony Rodriguez, had barricaded himself in a room armed with a knife.

 Netherlands considers sending migrants to Uganda


The Netherlands is looking at the possibility of sending rejected asylum seekers to Uganda, a Dutch media report said on Wednesday, as the country's far-right-led government moved to limit immigration.


Dutch Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation Minister Reinette Klever was visiting the East African nation this week where she spoke to Ugandan ministers about migration, the NOS public broadcaster reported.


"In the end we want to curb migration," said Klever, who belongs to the far-right Freedom Party (PVV) of anti-immigration lawmaker Geert Wilders, AFP reported.


"It's important for the cabinet that rejected asylum seekers return to their country of origin. And that's where it sometimes stalls," she told the NOS.


"We have a long relationship with Uganda and it is a hospitable country," said Klever, adding that Asylum and Migration Minister Marjolein Faber would look into the issue.


Asked about the comments, a ministerial spokesperson told AFP that Klever "had briefly discussed a number of possibilities for reception" in the region including in Uganda.


"That plan is still in its early stages," Jeroen van Dommelen said in an email.


The Dutch cabinet "must first investigate what the wishes of Uganda and the Netherlands are and what legally is possible and desirable," he added.


Wilders's PVV scored a major victory in elections last year and the firebrand lawmaker has promised "the strictest migration policy ever" to tackle what he termed an "asylum crisis" in the Netherlands.


Last week EU countries discussed "innovative" ways to increase deportations of irregular migrants and rejected asylum seekers including controversial plans to set up dedicated return centres outside the bloc.
