The number of US citizens seeking refuge in Canada skyrocketed last year.Exactly 2,550 Americans applied for asylum in Canada in 2017, according to data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. That's more than a sixfold increase from the 395 Americans who applied in 2016.It's believed that the hard-line immigration policies of President Donald Trump have fueled the increase in the number of Americans fleeing to Canada.The United States supplied the third-highest number of asylum-seekers to Canada in 2017, topped by Haiti (7,785 applicants) at No. 1 and Nigeria (6,005 applicants) at No. 2.There's a large number of asylum-seekers this year as well, with 1,215 Americans requesting refuge in Canada through the end of August.Canadian officials said that while Canada remains an open, welcoming country, crossing into it is not "a ticket for permanent residence.""Coming to Canada, asking for asylum in Canada is not a guarantee for permanent residence in Canada," Louis Dumas, a spokesman for the immigration ministry, said last year. 1063

The Kansas City Chiefs announced Thursday that an ongoing, multi-year conversation with groups of people from "diverse American Indian backgrounds and experiences" has resulted in several changes that will be implemented this season at Arrowhead Stadium.Under the Chiefs' new policy, fans will be prohibited from wearing headdresses, which the team previously only discouraged, and also will be barred from wearing face paintings that reference or “appropriate” American Indian cultures.Some fans said the changes couldn't have come soon enough."It’s been a long time coming to make some change there," Danny Sandage said. "I think change needs to occur."Most fans aren't surprised by the Chiefs' decision."I think we have to be more mindful about images that can be offensive to people," Summer Friedman said.Nor do they think it will detract from the Arrowhead experience."I know people are very rah-rah about the whole costume, the get-up and everything like that," Jean-Luc Monroe. "But to be honest with you, I'm just there to enjoy football. I could really care less about head dresses in face paint."Leaders and students Haskell Indian Nations University have previously asked the Chiefs to prohibit behavior that they believe mocks their culture."(In) 2020, there should be no excuse that this racist mockery is still taking place," Jimmy Lee Beason II, who teaches in Haskell's Department of Indigenous and American Indian Studies, said.He believes the changes the Chiefs announced are a step in the right direction toward ending the degradation of Native Americans."It pigeonholes us in this kind of savage bloodthirsty stereotype, and the problem with that is not a lot of people know about native people," Beason said.The team continues a “thorough review process” of the "Arrowhead Chop," which is what the team calls the Tomahawk Chop that is also used at Florida State and Atlanta Braves games among other venues.The team says it hopes to have additional discussions on the "Arrowhead Chop" in the future. Beason hopes it will banned as well."It encourages this behavior on the part of the fan base to continually just disrespect us and not actually look at us like actual human beings," Beason said. "We’re always viewed as these one-dimensional caricatures who are now stuck somewhere in the past."More immediately, the team says it is working to “shift the focus” of the drum to represent the heartbeat of the stadium.“We are exploring all options for a modified engagement moment from the Drum Deck that maintains a unifying effect between our fans and our players but better represents the spiritual significance of the drum in American Indian cultures,” the team said in the statement.The team plans to continue — in collaboration with the Kansas City, Missouri, Health Department — other traditions, including the Blessing of the Four Directions, the Blessing of the Drum and inviting tribes with historic connections in the area to participate in the team’s American Indian Heritage Month Game.“We are grateful for the meaningful conversations we have had with all of these American Indian leaders,” the team said. “It is important that we continue the dialogue on these significant topics, and we look forward to continuing to work together in the future.”This story was first reported by Andres Gutierrez and Sam Hartle at KSHB in Kansas City, Missouri. 3386

The month of March for Diana Berrent was one she could’ve done without. The 46-year-old woman was one of the first people in New York State to catch COVID-19.To this day, she's still living with residual symptoms six months later.“COVID is supposed to go away like the flu, and it’s not necessarily going away after two weeks,” she explained.In an effort to help find treatments and develop a vaccine, Berrent has been donating plasma as often as she can. It's in her antibodies, where the key to fighting this virus may lie.Dr. Wesley Self, a researcher at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, has spent the last few months trying to figure out what antibodies are telling us about COVID-19 and how to fight it.“Understanding how the immune system responds to the virus will help development of the vaccines,” Dr. Self said.Dr. Self and his colleagues spent the last few months studying 3,000 people. All of them were healthcare workers who had tested positive for COVID-19. They found that a majority of people who had the most severe cases started out with the most antibodies. But the study also found after 60 days, almost everyone who had coronavirus lost all antibodies.That could be bad news when it comes to our bodies' ability to fight off the virus a second time.“The antibodies are one piece of the immune system. It’s possible they’ll ramp up again quickly and prevent reinfection,” Dr. Self added.All of this also means researchers now need to get blood samples from people fairly quickly after they're infected before antibodies disappear.“We need to be thoughtful about vaccines and treatments that are specific for this virus,” he said. 1662

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court released new congressional district lines Monday, replacing the old Republican-drawn maps in time for the state's May primary.House Republican and Democratic operatives said Monday afternoon they are still analyzing the partisan makeup of the new districts.But in a swing state where Republicans hold 13 House seats to Democrats' five, the balance appears all but certain to tip in Democrats' direction.The biggest changes come in the Philadelphia suburbs, where three Republican-held seats -- Reps. Ryan Costello, Brian Fitzpatrick and the retiring Pat Meehan -- were already Democratic targets.The new maps appear more compact and suburban than the existing district boundaries and an alternative that state legislative Republicans had submitted -- and one of those districts is now made up of just Montgomery County, a Democratic stronghold that the GOP had proposed dividing heavily.Republicans in the Pennsylvania legislature have said they intend to challenge the new maps in federal court. The Supreme Court previously refused to hear a challenge to the state high court's ruling that the previous maps were gerrymandered in a way that violated the Pennsylvania Constitution. 1221

The New York attorney general is trying to break up the National Rifle Association over allegations of mismanagement and the abuse of member money.Adam Winkler, a UCLA law professor who specializes in the Second Amendment, says this is just the start. The legal battle could go for another year or two.If the NRA dissolves at that point, it would have a huge impact on American politics, but that doesn't mean the end of the gun debate.“What happens is the resources of the NRA would be distributed in a way that is designed to match the donors' intent,” said Winkler. “And that means that money would go to gun rights organizations and would go towards fighting against gun control in most, most circumstances.”Winkler says the NRA dissolving isn't the only potential outcome. The attorney general is also seeking less drastic repercussions, like removing certain in-house lawyers or board members. That includes Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president.We don't yet know exactly what evidence there is. Winkler says the AG’s case has at least one advantage, the NRA’s former public relations firm, Ackerman McQueen, is cooperating.“And so, the attorney general is going to have on her side an insider who's seen everything that's happened in the NRA for the last three decades,” said Winkler. “I think the NRA is in big trouble.”He says the lawsuit could also impact the November election by energizing pro-gun voters looking to support the NRA and the Republicans.Winkler says it's also likely to mean less NRA spending compared to 2016. 1552
