> A federal court in Boston has begun trying Eric Nshimiye, accused of taking part in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and later committing perjury and obstructing justice. Nshimiye denies involvement and says the case rests on unreliable eyewitness accounts. If convicted, the Trump administration could seek to revoke his US citizenship.
