Reuters reports that the mother of that 15-year-old Ghanaian boy shot and killed in the Bronx is finally on her way to New York."},{"host":"Bella","text":"This is Javits Frimpong's mother? The kid who was shot on his way to school last month. The family was stuck waiting on a visa."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Right. Doris Adu Gyamfi had been denied, delayed, stuck in immigration limbo. Then President Trump personally intervened and granted an emergency visa. She's flying in for the funeral."},{"host":"Bella","text":"I didn't have that on my bingo card. A president who's spent years demonizing immigrants just fast-tracked one for a funeral. What's the angle?"},{"host":"Brian","text":"There's no angle. A kid died, a mother is grieving, and the president made a phone call. That's what leadership looks like."},{"host":"Bella","text":"That's what a PR move looks like. The same week his own party is bleeding over immigration enforcement, suddenly he's compassionate. Forgive me if I don't see a pattern."},{"host":"Brian","text":"So if he doesn't help, he's heartless. If he does, it's a stunt. What exactly is he supposed to do to satisfy you?"},{"host":"Bella","text":"He could start by not making the other ten thousand families wait in the same line. One visa doesn't fix a system that's built to say no. But fine—for this mother, today, it's a mercy. I'll give him that."},{"host":"Brian","text":"That's the whole point. Sometimes a thing is just a thing. A boy is dead, his mother is coming home, and the president did the decent thing. Not everything has to be a battle."},{"host":"Bella","text":"It's a battle for the families who don't have a president on speed dial. But I'm glad she's coming. That's a mother who deserves to bury her son."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Yeah. Alright, that's where we are this hour. More world news after the break."}]}
