arrest a 15-year-old American of Palestinian descent whose apparent

protesters caught and detained on Thursday during clashes with police.

A
top U.S. official said on Sunday the U.S. border is not open to illegal
entry into the country, but acknowledged the government does need to be
sensitive to the tens of thousands of migrant children flowing into

of the day, our border is not open to illegal migration and we will stem
the tide," Jeh Johnson, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, said
on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday. Johnson said that the government

Gunmen kill at least 29 in latest raids on Kenyan coast
By
Joseph Akwiri MOMBASA Kenya (Reuters) - Gunmen killed at least 29
people in two coastal areas of Kenya in raids the deputy president
indicated on Sunday were the work of political rivals, despite Somali
Islamists al Shabaab claiming responsibility. The raids will hammer
Kenya's beleaguered tourist industry after a wave of militant attacks
and will deepen public frustrations about poor security, a day before a
big opposition rally in the capital. The Interior Ministry said one of
the Saturday night attacks killed nine in the trading town of Hindi in
Lamu County, close to where 65 people were killed by gunmen last month
in Mpeketoni. Another was further south in the Gamba area, where 20
died.Read More ...
