"Anthropause" is a word scientists have coined to describe the scaling back of human activity since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Migrants whom the U.S. is forcibly returning to Haiti are expressing anger, frustration and desperation when they arrive at Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince.

The situation devolved into chaos Tuesday when a group of migrants rushed to try to get on a plane heading back to the United States.

When Winnie White Tail convened a new session of in-patient substance use treatment last month for members of the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes, she found roughly half her clients struggling with methamphetamine addiction.
