Senegalese Women’s Basketball Team Visas Rejected As U.S. Escalates Immigration Restrictions

The visa rejections come amid reports that the U.S. is expanding its travel bans.

The Senegal Women’s Basketball team will not attend a training camp in the United States, set to start June 22, after some of its players and staff had their visas rejected as the country ramps up immigration control.

The Senegalese Basketball Federation confirmed on June 20 that the issue was due to the unapproved visas. According to The Athletic, five players, six staffers, and one ministerial delegation were affected.

The news follows expanded travel bans to the the United States for multiple countries, including several African nations. Senegal is not on that list.

Senegal’s prime minister released a statement, emphasizing the United States’ “refusal” to grant visas to the players and staff.

“Informed of the refusal to issue Visas to multiple members of the national women’s basketball team of Senegal, I gave instruction to the Ministry of Sports to cancel, purely and simply, the ten-day preparation program initially set to be in the United States of America,” Senegal Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko said on Facebook.

The U.S. had originally granted exemptions for the World Cup, Olympics, and any “other major sporting event.” It’s plausible that the training camp doesn’t qualify for that designation.

The Trump administration also reportedly has further plans to add 36 more countries to its growing travel ban, which major outlets have confirmed would include Senegal. The news comes as unrest globally and domestically grows against the administration’s handling of immigrants, including the federal government’s ICE raids in California.

Other countries have taken advantage of America’s rising hostility toward foreigners. Sonko praised China for offering grants to support to team and their Olympic prospects during this time.

The training camp will instead take place in Dakar, Senegal as the team prepares for the Women’s AfroBasket. Senegal has won 11 titles, the most in the championship tournament’s history.

Reggie Bush Ordered To Pay $1.4M In Defamation Case

Lloyd Lake, a San Diego businessman, had ties to the USC football program in the mid-2000s when Bush won the Heisman Trophy.

Reggie Bush must pay $1.4 million to San Diego businessman Lloyd Lake, who had ties to the USC football program during its mid-2000s glory years when Bush won the Heisman Trophy, for defamation.

According to Sports Illustrated, Van Nuys Superior Court Judge Eric Harmon supported an earlier decision by Jeffery G. Benz, who ruled in arbitration proceedings that Bush owed Lake $500,000 in damages and over $800,000 in attorney’s fees and legal costs. Bush’s attorneys appealed that decision, arguing that Benz didn’t have the authority to make such a determination.

The ruling, according to The Los Angeles Times, stems from comments Bush made in 2022 on the “I Am An Athlete” podcast as well as social media comments that painted Lake as a deplorable person. These comments allegedly led to the home of Lake’s parents, Roy and Barbara Gunner, being vandalized with graffiti messages, one of which read “Help Reggie Bush Get His Trophy Back F— Crook,” and another which read “187,” the California penal code for murder.

Bush’s comments, which accused Lake of blackmail and characterized his criminal record as being “as long as the Cheesecake Factory menu,” were supplemented months later by a tweet that falsely accused Lake of being a convicted rapist.

All of these comments violated a previous non-disparagement agreement that Bush and his parents as well as Lake and his parents signed in 2010 as part of the settlement of a contentious improper benefits lawsuit that led to the Trojans vacating their 2004 National Championship and Bush forfeiting his Heisman Trophy.

According to that agreement, all parties agreed “not make any statements or representations to any person that may cast another Party to this Agreement in an unfavorable light, that are offensive to or disparage them, or that could adversely affect their name and reputation.”

Bush’s legal team did succeed in their petition to have the judge seal away the majority of their case, which they might see as a small victory in one of the most infamous college football scandals of the last 25 years.

Pete Hegseth Reportedly Ordered Pentagon To Scale Back Juneteenth Messaging

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly instructed the Pentagon to take a “passive approach” to the Department of Defense’s messaging around the holiday.

After President Donald Trump took a thinly veiled jab at Juneteenth on Truth Social—claiming workers wanted fewer “non-working holidays”—Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly instructed the Pentagon to take a “passive approach” to the Department of Defense’s messaging around the holiday, which commemorates the effective end of chattel slavery in the United States.

According to Rolling Stone, in an email, the Pentagon’s Office of the Chief of Public Affairs said it was not planning to publish any Juneteenth-related content. When the outlet reached out for comment, a Pentagon official clarified to Rolling Stone that the Department of Defense “may engage in the following activities, subject to applicable department guidance: holiday celebrations that build camaraderie and esprit de corps; outreach events (e.g., recruiting engagements with all-male, all-female, or minority-serving academic institutions) where doing so directly supports DoD’s mission; and recognition of historical events and notable figures where such recognition informs strategic thinking, reinforces our unity, and promotes meritocracy and accountability.”

Although the White House did not respond to the outlet’s request for comment, since Trump’s return to office, the federal government has aggressively targeted diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives—purging high-ranking Black, female, and LGBTQ+ officials and scaling back the federal workforce. These efforts have undermined a long-standing pathway for Black Americans to achieve upward mobility in a system that has historically imposed, and continues to impose, a “Black tax” on communities of color.

According to the National Public Pension Coalition, Juneteenth provides another touchstone to examine what the current administration is doing to the Black federal workforce, undermining the now precarious Black middle class. “This Juneteenth, as we reflect on the importance of freedom and opportunity, we must also recognize the threat these federal cuts pose to the very foundation of economic equality that public sector jobs have provided for Black families,” it wrote.

Shortly after his confirmation, Hegseth announced an end to all DEI programs at the Pentagon, echoing Trump’s executive order to eliminate DEI initiatives across the federal government.

The Pentagon went on to cancel numerous longstanding cultural and historical observances, including events honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Pride Month, Holocaust Days of Remembrance, National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and Women’s History Month.

Jon Jones Announces Retirement From UFC, Prompting Questions About His Legacy

Jones, 37, confirmed his retirement on X.

Jon Jones, arguably the greatest mixed martial arts competitor in the history of the UFC, made when he told UFC president Dana White that he was calling it a career ahead of his anticipated bout against Tom Aspinall.

According to CNN, White revealed the news during a June 21 press conference in response to questions from reporters concerning Jones’ reticence to put his heavyweight title on the line in a unification bout against Aspinall.

Jon Jones has officially retired and Tom Aspinall is the undisputed UFC Heavyweight Champion.

Jon Jones was the best there ever was, but could have been even better. Not fighting Aspinall is part of his complicated legacy. https://t.co/ussXzN4emb
— Dan Wetzel (@DanWetzel) June 22, 2025

“Jon Jones called us last night and retired. Jon Jones has officially retired,” White said. “Tom Aspinall is the heavyweight champion of the UFC.”

The 37-year-old Jones confirmed White’s comments, saying in a post on X that “this decision comes after a lot of reflection.”

He added, “I’m excited to see how I can continue to contribute to the sport and inspire others in new ways. Thank you all for being part of this incredible journey with me. The best is yet to come.”

The timing of Jones’ retirement coincides with UFC fans accusing him of refusing to fight Aspinall and a legal challenge.

Jones, 37, has had a summons filed against him on a misdemeanor charge of leaving the scene of an accident in February, which was filed in Albuquerque, New Mexico’s Metropolitan Court. His lawyer, Chris Dodd, who represented him in a previous case, declined to comment.

According to court documents, a police service aide spoke to a man believed to be Jones, who “appeared to be heavily intoxicated and made statements implying his capacity to employ lethal force through third parties.” At this point, according to reports, the aide requested the backup of a police officer who spoke to the man and the officer described similar “allusions to violence” while never directly answering questions about whether or not he was Jones.

It remains unclear why it took several months to file the charges against Jones, and although there is no indication that the charge against Jones and his decision to retire are connected, his decorated UFC career is tainted by controversy.

That includes having a victory against Daniel Cormier vacated after failing a drug test.

“I said ‘If Jon Jones does not fight Tom Aspinall, he quit,” Cormier , a legendary UFC fighter and ESPN analyst, said on a video on his YouTube channel. “He quit. He did not want to fight Tom Aspinall. It’s so surprising. Is he scared? No. But by not fighting Aspinall, he opens the conversation. He lets you–every one of you—question why he doesn’t fight him. To walk away right now opens the door for people to have the conversation about, ‘Does this affect the legacy?’”

Black Activists Fight To Stop Storage Facility From Erasing Historic African Cemetery In Maryland

Activists are fighting to preserve the historic Moses Macedonia African Cemetery.

In Montgomery County, Maryland, activists and local community members are fighting to preserve the historic Moses Macedonia African Cemetery, where the remains of formerly enslaved people and their descendants reside, while county officials push forward plans to redevelop the site into a multi-level storage facility.

Marsha Coleman-Adebayo, president of the Bethesda African Cemetery Coalition, an organization that has battled officials over the direction of the land, told The Baltimore Banner, there are no markers to commemorate the cemetery’s rich history and significance to the Black community.

“Only McDonald’s, Whole Foods, dry cleaners, and a strip mall,” she observed.

According to advocates, the county’s current plan compounds the original desecration of the burial grounds in the 1960s when developers pushed Black families out of the River Road community in order to pave over that area. The county has countered that claim by asserting that there are no human remains underneath the lot proposed for development.

Meanwhile, the legal battle went to the Maryland Supreme Court before it was sent back down to a lower court to be re-litigated. If necessary, the Bethseda African Cemetery Coalition is willing to its case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“This is a David and Goliath fight, but we know who won that battle at the end of the day,” Coleman-Adebayo told the Banner. “A victory on River Road will prevent the atrocity and genocide that happened in this community from ever happening again.”

For the coalition, Juneteenth held a little extra significance. On that day, it hosted a small rally near the lot which was attended by approximately 100 people who sung and chanted their hopes for the fight to preserve the cemetery. Rosie Saah, an invited speaker representing the Palestinian Solidarity Network, said it was important to call upon the ancestral legacy of resistance to enslavement as the coalition continued its fight with Montgomery County officials.

“We remember on Juneteenth that enslaved people freed themselves. They continually resisted. So we must continue to resist and uphold the dignity of all in life and in death,“ Saah said.

The gathering was equal parts rally and community event that featured tables with food, informational cards, and books, which were given to attendees. One table featured a class project done by fourth graders at The Sienna School, a private school for students with dyslexia in Silver Springs, Maryland.

“If kids as young as 9 and 10 years old can tell that desecration is wrong, why can’t the adults in charge?” Robert Stubblefield, a coalition member who served as the event’s emcee, asked the crowd.

He added, “Black lives matter in life and in death, from the womb to the tomb, from the cradle to the grave.”

Harlem’s Big Band Jubilee Celebrates Juneteenth Through Neighborhood’s Legacy Of Jazz Music

The music celebration honors Juneteenth through Harlem's own place in Black history.

The Big Band Jubilee in Harlem celebrates Juneteenth through the neighborhood’s enduring jazz music legacy.

The celebration started late on June 19 due to weather issues, but it opened up with the sounds of music and rays of sunshine to end the federal holiday. The Big Band Jubilee takes place yearly, showcasing Harlem and its commitment to Black history, particularly on the holiday honoring freedom from enslavement.

The event started in 2020 and was created by Marija Abney, the founder and executive director of Soapbox Presents. Abney launched the Jubilee to give Black New Yorkers a place to rejoice and reunite during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the rise in Black Lives Matter protests took their toll.

“It is a way of saying, ‘No, this is our home, too,’” explained Abney to The New York Times. “We have as much rights to practice our culture as anybody else does.”

The tradition honors the legacy of Juneteenth, while also recognizing the New York City neighborhood’s unique place in Black history through the Harlem Renaissance. Home to renowned Black literary figures, artists, and activists, Harlem represents creativity and revolution, marking its place in the storied Black holiday.

The Big Band Jubilee not only celebrates Black musicianship but reminds attendees of its importance in jazz music. It recreates the old ways Black residents enjoyed music, with the outside of homes serving as stages for musicians who later became legends.

“This is where it all started,” explained one attendee, Ava Johnson. “This is where our ancestors Dizzy, Louis, Ella, and all of them, I’m sure, walked through this neighborhood and played their music. So it’s like coming back home to be here and to celebrate our history on this day.”

Bringing the music to the people remains the most pivotal part, as long-time Harlem residents can walk outside to hear and witness the sounds of community.

“That connection with the people, that stoop experience, where it’s just in the neighborhood,” Aaron Flagg, the chair and associate director of jazz studies at the Juilliard School, told The Times, “it’s lost.”

Now, thousands gather in Harlem every year to celebrate the freeing of their ancestors, while enjoying the art integral to Black culture.

After Trump’s Iran Strike, Black Twitter Reminds Nation: Obama Had A Deal

Black Twitter criticized Trump's exit of Obama's Iran deal in 2017.

As the BBC reports, following an unprecedented military strike on a suspected nuclear weapons site, President Donald Trump urged Iran to pursue peace, warning in a public address that further conflict could escalate if an agreement was not reached. Black politicians and Black Twitter immediately went to social media.

“This cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days,” Trump said, also noting that the United States would go after other targets in the country with “speed” and “precision.”

Trump continued, “Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks would be far greater and a lot easier.”

However, according to The New York Times, Trump’s assessment that Iran’s nuclear facilities were “completely and totally obliterated” appears to be yet another case of him jumping the gun and claiming a clear-cut victory in a case where there has not yet been a clear determination made.

Remember President Obama striking a deal with Iran to monitor their nuclear weapons program?

Trump promised to be a peacemaker and…
— James E. Clyburn (@RepJamesClyburn) June 22, 2025

Following the abrupt strikes, much of the immediate reaction on social media concentrated on the fact that during his first term, Trump exited the Iran nuclear deal struck by former President Barack Obama, despite being warned that doing so could lead to war.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) called Trump’s unilateral decision both unwise and unconstitutional, cautioning of the risks posed by Trump’s actions.

“President Trump’s unilateral decision to attack Iran without Congressional approval is unconstitutional and unwise. This move, a rash sequel to his withdrawal from the nuclear deal, puts our nation, our troops, and innocents at grave risk,” Rep. Clyburn wrote.

He continued, “Preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon is a noble pursuit, but I join my colleagues in demanding immediate details from the Administration on this operation and in urging all sides to pull back from the brink of a full-scale war.”

Entrepreneur Chris Evans tweeted, “Remember President Obama striking a deal with Iran to monitor their nuclear weapons program? The one that Trump dismantled in his first term?”

X user Christopher Webb wrote, “When Trump said, Iran is ‘very close’ to building a nuclear bomb—it was a self-own. We wouldn’t be here if Trump hadn’t backed out of the Obama Iran nuclear deal.”

In a press release shared with BLACK ENTERPRISE, Rep. Oye Owolewa (D-DC) called on the American people to resist Trump’s hunger for war and for his colleagues on Capitol Hill to draft articles of impeachment against Trump.

“We must all stand up against Trump’s recent illegal and provocative bombings. Trump 2.0 lacks the support from American people to engage in war, the funds to carry out a war and the constitutional legality to attack Iran without congressional approval. For all reasons stated, Congress should ultimately draft articles of impeachment against President Trump,” Rep. Owolewa stated.

White Nationalist Awarded For Law School Paper Arguing Constitution Only Applies To White People

The student then made antisemitic posts on social media leading to his current suspension from the law school.

A white nationalist recently won an academic award for his law school paper arguing how the Constitution only applies to white people.

Preston Damsky, a proud white nationalist and antisemite, garnered acclaim from a University of Florida professor over his paper detailing his interpretation of the doctrine. Last fall, he wrote a paper on “originalism” for the law school seminar. An idea upheld by many conservatives, originalism interprets the Constitution as written during its original time period.

According to the New York Times, a Trump-appointed judge who taught the class awarded Damsky the highest honor for his paper. In his assignment, Damsky argued that “We the People,” as first written on the Constitution’s Preamble, actually refers to white people. With this mindset, he defended the idea of stripping voting rights for nonwhite citizens.

He further stated his support for shoot-to-kill orders toward “criminal infiltrators at the border.” He also referred to an America where white people did not make up the majority as a “terrible crime.” Damsky later uttered that white people “cannot be expected to meekly swallow this demographic assault on their sovereignty.”

Instead of concern over his viewpoints, his professor, Judge John L. Badalamenti, congratulated him on his provocative essay. Damsky received the book award, granted to the best student in the class, for his detailed work. Badalamenti did not comment on why he chose his recipient.

The award issuance sparked controversy across the school, with opposers stating Damsky’s recognition undermines his dangerous rhetoric. Despite the calls to revoke his award, the University of Florida’s Interim Dean Merritt McAlister affirmed the matter, citing his “free speech rights.” McAlister also noted “institutional neutrality,” a new term on the rise in anti-DEI policies, where schools remain impartial on political issues.

However, Damsky’s academic language continued on the internet. Months after the dean’s decision, Damsky created an X account to further showcase his views. His post that Jewish people must be ” abolished by any means necessary” led to his latest scandal.

The jarring remark led to the University of Florida suspending him and barring him from campus. The university even boosted police presence at the law school. However, others believe the initial celebration of his works empowered Damsky to become even louder with his racist beliefs.

The issue also comes at a time when free speech has its own interpretation in Florida public institutions. One professor called out the double standards of Damsky being able to write his essay while she had to change the name of her class over its assertion of race.

“I just find it fascinating that this student can write an article, a series of articles that are essentially manifestos, and that’s free speech,” expressed visiting associate law professor Carliss Chatman. “…but my class can’t be called ‘Race, Entrepreneurship and Inequality.”

Many students expressed their concerns about his online presence. Furthermore, Damsky’s arguments have been disavowed by most originalists. Most concede that post-Civil War sentiments strengthened the notion that the “liberty and justice for all” actually accounts for everyone.

Damsky remains adamant that he will challenge the university’s ruling against him.

Black Customer Walks Out North Carolina Auto Care Shop Over Viral Juneteenth Disrespect

The business tried to gain support for their side of the issue on social media, but instead faced backlash.

A North Carolina auto care shop faces backlash after a Black customer slammed them for disrespecting Juneteenth.

Patrons and employees at Synergy Auto Care in Wilson, North Carolina, engaged in a conversation surrounding Juneteenth that raised the eyebrows of a Black customer. In a video posted by the business, it documented how the discussion broke down, leading to the women’s interference and refusal of service.

It began with a white customer asking about why the banks closed on the federal holiday, established into law in 2021.

“Juneteenth, a new holiday they added a few years ago,” answered an employee.

The employee’s response triggered a joking reaction from the customer, who sarcastically said, “Okie dokie.”

Another employee chimed in, saying, “I know, right?” suggesting that Juneteenth was not that important of a holiday.

The discussion prompted a Black customer in the room to speak out. Visibly upset, the customer asked the employee to return her truck, opting to take her business elsewhere.

“Give me my f–king truck,” she yelled. “Pull my truck around, please. Pull my truck around and give me my truck… I don’t want nothing done from here! Please go get my truck, thank you.”

Following the woman’s leaving, the first employee then tried explaining the reason for Juneteenth. He shared it was for “reparations or something,” not knowing the true history behind the holiday that celebrates the end of slavery in the United States.

However, after the woman called them out, the auto care shop responded in an unexpected way. Instead of taking accountability for the offense, they chastised the customer for the “WOW moment.”

“She told me she was going live with this and that we were racist,” explained the business owner. “She told me that we all laughed at her and were chuckling and mocking the holiday and that I didn’t know how that made her feel because she was Black.”

The owner pushed back on her accusations, stating they would release their own footage to not be “unfairly judged off one side of an event.”

“I generally don’t entertain these kinds of things, but when you bend over backwards for all your customers, it stings to be accused of hateful things,” the statement added.

However, the owner’s insistence on releasing the video had an opposite effect. Social media users criticized the owners for not recognizing why the customer took offense.

“Most were negative towards the store employees,” shared a TikToker, according to Atlanta Black Star. “She was the only Black customer in there, and they wanted to antagonize her. I’m glad sista stood on business! These cowards have become emboldened!”

Synergy Auto Care took the video down shortly after, but the effects remain as the store continues to garner backlash.

You Know His Name: Bass Rips VP Vance For Calling Sen. Alex Padilla ‘Jose’ In Disrespectful L.A. Remarks

Bass also condemned Vance for 'spewing lies' about the ICE raids protests.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is not holding back in her response to J.D. Vance’s brief, yet “disrespect[ful]” visit to the city.

Vance visited the state amid tensions with the federal government over its ICE raids. While only in Los Angeles for a few hours, the Vice President hosted a press conference June 20, where he made several derogatory claims against California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Bass. During the event, he also mockingly referred to U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla as “Jose Padilla.”

Shortly after his disparaging remarks, Mayor Bass hosted her press conference, slamming his accusations and offensive words toward Padilla. According to NBC4, she denounced Vance for “spewing lies” that could sow even more discord across Los Angeles.

“The vice president of the United States spent three or four hours in L.A. before holding a press conference and spewing lies and utter nonsense in an attempt to provoke division and conflict in our city,” said Bass. “This is consistent with the provocation from Washington that began two weeks ago, when our city was calm and many and millions of Angelenos were going about working and contributing to our city.”

She then called out the elected official for calling Sen. Padilla “Jose,” seemingly using that name due to his support of immigrants. Federal agents removed Padilla from a news conference with the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a week prior.

“How dare you disrespect our senator? You don’t know his name, but yet you served with him before you were vice president, and you continue to serve with him today, because the last time I checked, the Vice President of the United States is the president of the U.S. Senate,” Bass continued. “You served with him today, and how dare you disrespect him and call him Jose, but I guess he just looked like anybody to you. Well, he’s not just anybody to us. He is our senator.”

Bass then defended the overall peacefulness of the protest. She emphasized how state law enforcement was able to contain the demonstrations to a small sector of the city, noting California’s ability to manage the protesters without the use of the National Guard.

“Even when there was vandalism at its height, you were talking about a couple of hundred people who were not necessarily associated with any of the peaceful protests,” explained Bass. “Los Angeles is a city that is 500 square miles and any disruption took place took place in about two square miles in our city. The most – over 100 people were arrested. We are a city of 3.8 million people.”

The protests against the ICE raids across Los Angeles went on for days, leading to Trump’s deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops to the area. Although most of the protests have cooled down, the legality of Trump’s order continues its battle in the courts, with the latest judgment siding with the President.
