If you have a dermatology problem no one would think to look if it was causing your eye problems. Similarly, if you have an eye problem, an ophthalmologist would not think to send you to an endocrinologist. It's not just here in Thailand.

Vance said the 18-year-old would still be alive if European countries had "stood their ground" against what he described as the "mass invasion of migrants", escalating a growing transatlantic dispute over the controversial case. His remarks drew an immediate rebuke from Downing Street, which accused figures in the United States of attempting to inflame tensions and deepen divisions in Britain. Vance Focuses On ImmigrationWhile much of the debate in Britain has centred on policing and accountability, Vance shifted attention to immigration. The vice president argued that Henry Nowak's death reflected wider failures by European governments to confront mass migration and multicultural policies. His intervention marks the strongest statement yet from the Trump administration on the case. The comments also align with the administration's broader argument that uncontrolled migration has undermined public safety across Western nations. Murder Sparks International Political StormNowak died after being stabbed by Vickrum Digwa in Southampton last December. The case has attracted widespread attention after police bodycam footage showed officers handcuffing the badly wounded teenager while he repeatedly told them he had been stabbed. The footage prompted public outrage, protests in Southampton and growing criticism of the police response. Digwa was later convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. State Department Raises 'Two-Tier Policing' ClaimsVance's remarks came after the US State Department entered the debate earlier this week. A statement issued by the department said that "ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilisational decline" while offering condolences to Nowak's family. The comments appeared to echo criticism from some Conservative and anti-establishment figures who argue that British policing has become influenced by concerns over race and identity politics. Downing Street Hits BackThe Prime Minister's office rejected both the immigration and policing claims. A Number 10 spokesman said the Nowak family had made clear they did not want Henry's death used to create further division or hatred. "Our politics should bring people together even in the most terrible of circumstances," the spokesman said. Downing Street also stressed that Britain's relationship with the United States remains "incredibly strong" despite the public disagreement. Ministers Reject Criticism Of UK PoliceDeputy Prime Minister David Lammy dismissed suggestions that Britain operates a system of two-tier policing. Speaking on Friday, he said he did not recognise the characterisation and defended police forces across the country. Lammy acknowledged that President Donald Trump and his administration often pursue issues in an unconventional manner but insisted British police were focused on tackling crime and protecting communities. Calls For Diplomatic ResponseThe escalating intervention from Washington has prompted calls for a stronger response from the British government. Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman Calum Miller accused the Trump administration of using Henry Nowak's death as a political football. He urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to summon the US ambassador, describing the comments as an attempt to interfere in Britain's domestic affairs. The dispute has transformed what began as a murder case and policing controversy into an increasingly bitter argument over immigration, policing and political culture on both sides of the Atlantic.

From CNN: DHS General Counsel James Percival blasted Friday’s decision. “The Left has been running the same gambit with so called ‘animus’ claims since 2017. It is sabotage dressed in legal clothing,” Percival said in a statement. “It goes like this: (1) the admin is racist, (2) therefore a policy I don’t like is motivated by race, (3) therefore it is invalid.
