Members of the New York City Council voted to remove a statue of Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the United States, from his residence because of his enslaved past as he employed more than 600 slaves on his Virginia farm .

Council members voted unanimously in favor of removing the statue from the headquarters, but they postponed a decision on the place where it would be placed.. The statue is expected to be transferred to the Museum of the New York Historical Society, according to Al-Hurra American channel today, Tuesday.
The decision to remove the statue comes at a time when the United States is witnessing a sharp debate over the fate of statues considered offensive to minorities, as Latin and brown-skinned members of the Council have been demanding the removal of the statue for years, and their demand gained momentum after protests.

"Many of those who streamed across the border are criminals from prisons that have been emptied in other countries, and most of them are very dangerous people," he said. And he added, "Our country is dying from within, and no one is doing anything to help it. The first thing that must be done quickly is to complete the wall." An agreement must be made with Mexico so that it can act as a barrier over 2,000 miles, and not as a springboard for illegal immigrants," he said. Trump also raised concerns about moving Afghan allies to the United States after the Biden administration withdrew f...
