Sean Strickland forcibly removed from UFC White House event by Secret Service UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland was removed from the UFC Freedom 250 Fan Fest at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., after showing up despite claiming he had been excluded from the White House event.  Strickland later clarified on Instagram that he was not arrested but suggested he might face a disorderly conduct charge, which in D.C. carries penalties of up to 90 days in jail or a $500 fine.  His presence drew immediate hostility from the pro-Trump crowd, with chants of “USA” erupting before Secret Service agents escorted him out.

 DRC suspends former President Kabila's party over alleged links with M23 rebels


Democratic Republic of Congo has suspended former President Joseph Kabila's political party and ordered his assets seized over accusations of supporting rebels in the east, the government said, Reuters reported.


The 53-year-old, who ruled from 2001-2019, has said he wants to return to Congo to help seek a solution to the war.


But in statements late on Saturday, the interior ministry said his party was suspended for aiding the M23 rebels, while the justice ministry said his and other party leaders' assets would be seized after acts amounting to high treason.


Both statements said prosecutors had been instructed to initiate proceedings against him, but no details of the accusations were given.


Ferdinand Kambere, secretary of his Party for Reconstruction and Democracy, called the suspension a flagrant violation of Congo's constitution and laws, Reuters news agency reports.


The M23 have taken two major cities in the mineral-rich east since the start of the year. The region has suffered decades of conflict rooted in the spillover from Rwanda's 1994 genocide and the struggle for control of minerals.


Kabila came to power after his father's assassination and refused to go when his final term expired in 2016. He eventually agreed to step down following mass protests and has lived in different African nations since.
