Hakeke Street Community Centre and Library is putting on some paint.
Centre co-ordinator, Lorraine Sheenagh, says the work to be done is a mural, designed and executed by Si Ormerod, who paints under the name Cracked Ink. It s going to look so amazing, says Lorraine. We got ideas from the community: people who use the Community Centre as well as our volunteers, the kids next door, the kids across the road at the YMCA / Pakohe [Alternative Education Programme]. They all came up with ideas about what community looks like.

Border Patrol agents arrested 75,198 migrants who illegally crossed the Mexican border into the U.S. between ports of entry in January, according to the January Southwest Border Migration Report released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection Wednesday night. This is up from 29,205 the year before. The apprehensions mark the highest January total since 2006 when agents took more than 101,000 migrants into custody.
