Kansas driver’s license law puts some transgender residents in ID limbo A new Kansas law has effectively invalidated the driver’s licenses and other government-issued documents of transgender residents, leaving many in legal and personal limbo.

 Catholic Diocese Lists Names of 265 Students and Teachers Still in Captivity

On November 21, armed men stormed the school, abducting a total of 315 individuals, including 303 students and 12 teachers.


The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Niger State reported that 50 students have already escaped from captivity, bringing some relief to families, but 265 people — 239 nursery and primary students, 14 secondary students, and 12 teachers — are still missing.


Authorities and community leaders are intensifying efforts to secure the release of the remaining victims. Families and residents continue to live in fear, as the abduction underscores the growing insecurity in the region and the persistent threats faced by schools in northern Nigeria.
