Mount Kenya is one of only a few mountains in Africa to have glaciers, the largest of which is Lewis Glacier. This has lost over 90% of its mass since 1934 as a result of climate change. @thecontinent shares photos from Luis Tato of the mountain, an extinct volcano that sits in the middle of Mount Kenya National Park. It’s home to delicate ecosystems that are now under threat as a result of the glacier’s decline.

A U.S. federal judge has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt of court over its failure to halt deportation flights to El Salvador. Cassandra Burke Robertson, Professor of Law and Director of the Center for Professional Ethics, Case Western Reserve University, explains to @TheConversationUS what it all means.

“It’s not too late for the government to comply. One option for the government is called “purging the contempt,” meaning the administration complies with the court order and brings the individuals who were sent to El Salvador back into U.S. custody,” Burke Robertson says. “If the administration does that, there will not be any further contempt proceedings. Normally, that would be attractive to the government in this position.”
