From the Express, a terror watch boss wants ISIS jihadis "reintegrated" back into British society, and Storm Brian is heading for Great Britain.

From The Old Continent, Syria has suffered a brain drain due to emigration to Europe.

From The Guardian, a fund used to pay African countries to deter migration is running out of money.  (Was this fund even accomplishing anything in the first place?)

From Al-Monitor, in October, a record number of migrants have gone to Italy.  (So much for paying anyone to deter migration.)

From ANSA, "845 Tunisians arrive on Lampedusa in 4 days".  (Again, so much for paying anyone to deter migration.)

From The Gainesville Sun, three supporters of Richard Spencer have been arrested in connection with a shooting.  (via the New York Post) (Spencer is a white nationalist, and should not be confused with anti-jihadist Robert Spencer.)

From National Review, what happened in Niger is not "Trump's Benghazi".

From Breitbart's Big Government, the Fourth Circuit has ruled against Bladensburg, Maryland's "Peace Cross".  (Should I go out there and see it, before it gets removed?)
