 Somali World Cup Referee Denied Entry to United States Award-winning Somali referee, Omar Artan, has been denied entry into the United States despite holding a valid visa, according to a senior official in Somalia’s sports ministry. Artan, who is set to become the first Somali referee to officiate at the FIFA World Cup finals, was stopped at Miami International Airport and subsequently returned to Istanbul, where he had been residing. The reason for the denial was not immediately disclosed. However, Somalia is among the countries affected by a travel ban introduced by the administration of Donald Trump. Reacting to the development, Ciise Aden Abshir, a senior adviser to Somalia’s Ministry of Youth and Sports and a former national team captain, described Artan as one of Africa’s most respected referees. “Omar Artan is among Africa’s most respected referees and deserves the support of the entire football community,” Abshir told AFP on Monday.

 I Could Sell This for $25,000 - Trump Jokes With Children, Critiques Biden’s Autopen


President Donald Trump spent Monday, April 6, at the White House Easter Egg Roll, interacting with children and signing their artwork while adding a touch of humor and politics to the event.


As kids gathered around, Trump, 79, quipped, “I could sign autographs for you guys. And then tonight, you could sell them for $25,000 on eBay.” 


A few children eagerly asked, “Can you sign mine?” and the president happily obliged.


He paused to admire the drawings, singling out one in particular. “I’m going to sign this, that way I’ll say I drew it,” he joked.


During the signing, Trump revisited a long-standing claim about former President Joe Biden using an autopen to reproduce his signature. “He’d have an autopen follow him… He didn’t sign, he was incapable of signing his name so they’d follow him around with a big machine. Do you know what it was called?” Trump asked, explaining the device. “An autopen and he’d have the autopen sign for him. He’d take the paper, hand it to his team, sign it with an autopen, and give it back. That’s not too good, right?”


Trump has previously claimed that Biden misused the device, although the allegations have not been verified. Speaking at a press conference with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer in September 2025, Trump said, “Joe Biden wasn’t giving those orders. The autopen was illegal. It was illegally used. He never gave the orders. He never told them what to do. And I guess the only one he signed, or one of the few he signed, was the pardon for his son.”


He added, “You talk about freedom of the press and freedom of speech, how about that one? 


Those people are so guilty... I know them all and they’re smart people, probably brilliant, but they were running the autopen. And it was totally illegal, what he did, and I hope it’s judged that way.”


At the event, Trump also removed a photo of Biden from the White House Presidential Walk of Fame, replacing it with an image of an autopen. 


The display mirrors a meme he shared in March 2025 showing an autopen framed between his presidential portraits with the dates “2021–2025,” instead of Biden’s image.
