  • LONDON, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 14: Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage speaks to assembled media outside Southwark Crown Court following the sentencing of Fayaz Khan on October 14, 2025 in London, England. Afghan migrant Fayaz Khan, who came to the UK on a small boat, was found guilty of threatening to kill Reform UK Party leader, Nigel Farage. Last October Farage uploaded a video to YouTube titled "the journey of an illegal migrant" which highlighted Khan and referenced "young males of fighting age coming into our country about whom we know very little". Khan posted a video in response referencing Farage saying "I'm coming to England. I'm going to pop, pop, pop." making "gun gestures" with his hand and head butting the camera.

  • DULLES, VIRGINIA - MAY 12: An Omni Air International charter flight from South Africa to the United States lands at Washington Dulles International Airport on May 12, 2025 in Dulles, Virginia. Several dozen white South Africans, also called Afrikaners, accepted an invitation from the Trump Administration to come to the United States as refugees. They say they are fleeing job discrimination and racial violence in their home country. Trump has halted virtually all refugee admissions for people fleeing famine and war, but has created an expedited path into the U.S. for Afrikaners, descendants of white Europeans who created and led the brutal apartheid regime in South Africa from 1948 to 1994.
