 That’s Not Fair - Kim Kardashian Says Prisoners Who Fought L.A. Wildfires Were Paid 'Just a Few Dollars,' and She Wants to Change That A renewed push for prison labor reform is gaining attention, with Kim Kardashian stepping in to support new legislation aimed at changing how incarcerated workers are paid. The bill, reintroduced on March 19 by Cory Booker, seeks to ensure that people working while incarcerated receive at least the federal minimum wage. It also proposes limits on deductions for fees, fines, and living costs within correctional facilities, through amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Kardashian, who has increasingly focused on criminal justice reform, explained that her support is rooted in what she witnessed during the Los Angeles wildfires.  “I personally watched incarcerated people who risked their lives battling the massive wildfires,” she said, pointing out that many were paid only a few dollars a day despite doing the same high-risk work as profess...

 Drone attack from Sudan kills 17 in Chad, Chadian government says


A cross-border drone attack from Sudan killed 17 ‌people in Chad including mourners attending a funeral service, the Chadian government and local sources said on Thursday, and the country's president vowed to retaliate for any further attacks.


The ​border town of Tine was struck on Wednesday afternoon as mourners gathered ​at a house for a funeral ceremony for a dead ⁠relative that involved reading the Koran, a local resident said, Reuters reported.


There were two ​explosions and casualties included mourners and children who had been playing nearby, said ​the resident, who declined to be identified for security reasons.


Local government sources said it was not immediately clear who was behind the attack.


The conflict in Sudan between the Sudanese army and ​the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which began in April 2023, has periodically ​spilled into Chadian territory, causing casualties and property damage.


Sudan's army and the RSF issued statements ‌blaming ⁠each other for the attack. Sudan's army offered "sincere condolences and deepest sympathies to the families of the victims" and to Chad's government and people.


Chad closed its eastern border with Sudan last month after clashes linked to the war killed five ​Chadian soldiers.


In a ​statement issued early ⁠on Thursday, the government said Chad had strengthened its security presence at the border and could potentially carry out ​operations on Sudanese territory.


The office of Chad President Mahamat Idriss ​Deby said ⁠in a statement late on Wednesday that Deby had ordered the army to retaliate against any attack from Sudan.


Two local government sources had earlier put the ⁠toll at ​16 killed and 10 wounded. A military source said ​all the dead and injured were civilians.
