Trump blames New Orleans attack on illegal immigration
United States President-elect, Donald Trump, has attributed the deadly truck attack on a crowd of revelers in New Orleans on Wednesday to illegal immigration, the issue at the heart of his election victory.
DAILY POST reports that no fewer than 10 people were killed after a vehicle drove into a large crowd in New Orleans, a city in Louisiana, United States.
Posting on social media, Trump said criminals immigrating into the country are worst than the indigenous ones.
“When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in the country… it turned out to be true,” he said.
Meanwhile, the police have not indicated the nationality or identity of the attacker.
According to the president-elect, the nation’s crime rate is at a level that nobody has ever seen.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, said that violent crime is sharply down across the country.

Kano Govt rejects Tinubu’s tax reform bills
The Kano State Government has described as ill-timed, the introduction of President Tinubu’s Tax Reforms Bills, rejecting it in all ramifications.
The government said the bills would do more harm than good to the people of the state.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, represented by his deputy, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, voiced strong opposition to the Federal Government’s proposed tax reform bills at Filin Mahaha, Kofar Naisa open theatre, where thousands of residents gathered to enjoy music and cultural displays to welcome the New Year.
He described the proposed tax reforms as “ill-timed, lopsided and inimical to the unity of the country”.
“Nigerians in general, and the North in particular, are groaning under hyper inflation and unprecedented insecurity, therefore the Presidency should pay more attention to tackling extreme poverty and hunger, especially in the northern part of the country.
“This tax reform bill is not the solution to our economic challenges. Kano State stands firmly against any policy that negatively affects the welfare of our people,” the deputy governor declared, drawing resounding applause from the crowd.
He highlighted the administration’s achievements in healthcare, education, road construction and foreign scholarship initiatives.
Additionally, he reminded residents of the Supreme Court ruling in January 2024 that confirmed Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf as the duly elected governor of Kano State.
The deputy governor also celebrated the reinstatement of Emir Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II in 2024, describing it as a victory for the people’s will. He reiterated that the authority to appoint an Emir lies solely with the Governor of Kano State and urged those meddling in Kano Emirate affairs to respect the law and uphold peace.
The evening featured performances by renowned Hausa artists, creating a joyful atmosphere for families and friends.
As midnight struck, a spectacular fireworks display illuminated the Kano skyline, symbolising hope and renewal for the new year.
Deputy Governor Aminu Abdussalam encouraged Kano residents to remain united and steadfast, saying, “Let 2025 be a year of shared prosperity and progress. Together, we will build a stronger Kano.”
Earlier, the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Yusuf Jibril Falgore, extended his New Year greetings and called on citizens to continue supporting the state government’s efforts to deliver the dividends of democracy.
The 2025 New Year celebrations showcased Kano’s rich cultural heritage and reaffirmed the state government’s unwavering commitment to the well-being of its citizens.
