Hanlin, the Douglas County sheriff, sent a letter to Vice President Biden in 2013, after the shootings in Newtown renewed the debate about gun control. Hanlin said that proposed restrictions would be “irresponsible and an indisputable insult to the American people” and he and his deputies would refuse to enforce them.

40 years a refugee: From Western Sahara to CPH – The Local

Four decades ago, tens of thousands of Western Sahara’s indigenous population, the Saharawis, fled the advancing Moroccan army and bomber planes across the border into neighbouring Algeria.  Here they set about building what they thought would be temporary refugee camps in one of the most inhospitable parts of the world, the so-called “Devil’s Garden”, where sand-storms are frequent and where temperatures can exceed 50C. Some 165,000 Saharawis remain in the camps in the Tindouf Province today. Others remain in occupied Western Sahara, one of the world’s most repressive and torturing regimes. And others still live in exile in Spain or in Denmark, like Abba Malainin.

Pope Francis’ encounter with Kim Davis wasn’t an endorsement of her views, the Vatican says.

Vatican officials announced on Friday that Pope Francis did not hold a private meeting with Kim Davis last week in Washington — as has been widely reported — but that Ms. Davis was among dozens of guests ushered into the Vatican’s Embassy in Washington for a brief meeting with him.
Francis was unaware of the specifics of the case of Ms. Davis, the Rowan County, Ky., clerk who has refused to grant a marriage license to a gay couple, despite a judge’s orders that she do so. The case has become a focal point in the debate over the tensions between religious liberty and marriage equality in the United States.
