(AP Photo/Alex Brandon)2025-04-14T04:11:17Z Lee esta historia en espaol WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump s top advisers and Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, said Monday that they had no basis for the small Central American nation to return a Maryland man who was wrongly deported there last month. Trump administration officials emphasized that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was sent to a notorious gang prison in El Salvador, was a citizen of that country and that U.S. has no say in his future. And Bukele, who has been a vital partner for the Trump administration in its deportation efforts, said of course Im not going to release him back to U.S. soil.The question is preposterous, Bukele said. I dont have the power to return him to the United States. Should El Salvador want to return Abrego Garcia, the U.S. would facilitate it, meaning provide a plane, Attorney General Pam Bondi said.

The meeting came as El Salvador has been a critical linchpin of the U.S. administrations mass deportation operation.Since March, El Salvador has accepted from the U.S. more than 200 Venezuelan immigrants whom Trump administration officials have accused of gang activity and violent crimes and placed them inside the countrys notorious maximum-security gang prison just outside of the capital, San Salvador. It is also holding Abrego Garcia, who has not been returned to the U.S., despite court orders to do so. That has made Bukele, who remains extremely popular in El Salvador due in part to the crackdown on the countrys powerful street gangs, a vital ally for the Trump administration, which has offered little evidence for its claims that the Venezuelan immigrants were in fact gang members, nor has it released names of those deported. Follow live updates on President Donald Trump and his administration Asked whether he has any concerns about the prison there where deportees are being held, Trump told reporters early Sunday that Bukele was doing a fantastic job. Hes taking care of a lot of problems that we have that we really wouldnt be able to take care of from cost standpoint, Trump said. And hes doing really, hes been amazing. We have some very bad people in that prison. People that should have never been allowed into our country.Since Secretary of State Marco Rubios visit in February, Bukele whose government has arrested more than 84,000 people as part of his three-year crackdown on gangs has made it clear hes ready to help the Trump administration with its deportation ambitions.

When a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to turn around a flight carrying the immigrants already en route to El Salvador, Bukele wrote on social media: Oopsie ... too late. Though other judges had ruled against the Trump administration, this month the Supreme Court cleared the way for Trump to use the Alien Enemies Act, an 18th century wartime law, to deport the immigrants. The justices did insist that the immigrants get a court hearing before being removed from the U.S. Over the weekend, 10 more people who the administration claims are members of the MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gangs arrived in El Salvador, Rubio said Sunday.Weve also found cooperation in other countries that are willing to take some of these people, some very dangerous criminals, Rubio said during a Cabinet meeting on Thursday. Bukele, Rubio added, has really been a good friend to the United States in that regard. These are some of the worst people youll ever encounter.Trump has said openly that he would also favor El Salvador taking American citizens who have committed violent crimes, although he added, Id only do according to the law. It is unclear how lawful U.S. citizens could be deported elsewhere. Leavitt said such citizens would be heinous, violent criminals who have broken our nations laws repeatedly.Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has called for the administration to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia, who had an immigration court order preventing his deportation to his native country over fears of gang persecution. Leavitt said the administrations job is to facilitate the return, not to effectuate the return, but Trump indicated later Friday that he would return Abrego Garcia to the U.S. if the high courts justices said to bring him back. I have great respect for the Supreme Court, Trump told reporters traveling on Air Force One. Government lawyers indicated in a legal filing Saturday that Abrego Garcia remains in El Salvador but did not detail what, if any, steps the administration is taking to return him to the U.S. In its required daily status update on Sunday, the government essentially stated that it had nothing to add beyond Saturdays filing. While Bukeles crackdown on gangs has popular support, the country has lived under a state of emergency that suspends some basic rights for three years. He built the massive prison, located just outside San Salvador in the town of Tecoluca, to hold those accused of gang affiliation under his crackdown. Part of his offer to receive the Venezuelans there was that the U.S. also send back some Salvadoran gang leaders. In February, his ambassador to the U.S., Milena Mayorga, said on a radio program that having gang leaders face justice in El Salvador was an issue of honor.Bukele could also seek relief from the 10% tariff recently imposed by Trump, using the argument that it weakens the economy Bukele is trying to bolster.Csar Ros, director of the El Salvador Immigrant Agenda Association, said its crucial that (the visit) isnt limited to diplomatic gestures, but rather translates to concrete actions that benefit Salvadorans abroad and at home.Populists who have successfully crafted their images through media, Bukele and Trump hail from different generations but display similar tendencies in how they relate to the press, political opposition and justice systems in their respective countries.Bukele came to power in the middle of Trumps first term and had a straightforward relationship with the U.S. leader. Trump was most concerned with immigration and, under Bukele, the number of Salvadorans heading for the U.S. border declined. Bukeles relationship with the U.S. grew more complicated at the start of the Biden administration, which was openly critical of some of his antidemocratic actions. Trump has also shown some irritation with Bukele in the past, accusing El Salvador of lowering its crime rate by sending people to the U.S.Hes just, were working with our people that are causing problems and crime, Trump said of Bukele at a campaign rally last year. Hes not working with them. Hes dumping them in the United States and their crime rate, their murder rate, is down 72%. Just before Bukeles arrival in Washington, the State Department updated its travel advisory for El Salvador to Level 1, which is for countries that are considered the safest to visit for U.S. citizens. The advisory notes that gang activity, and the accompanying murders and other violent crimes, has declined in the past three years.___Alemn reported from San Salvador, El Salvador.

Shawn Mendes has added some more ink to his body, but this time, fan reactions have been... mixed.The tattoo, made up of a bald eagle on Mendes sternum, was introduced to the world on April 13 by LA-based tattoo artist Kane Navasard on Instagram. It is captioned, Soaring to new heights, for my bro @shawnmendes. (@) The comments under the post were mixed, with some saying its an incredible and detailed work and others saying, Everyone is lying here, the tattoo was horrible.Historically, Mendes ink has had significant meaning for him, including the Good Luck tattoo he had penned in 2019 as a sign of good spirits for the people who walk behind him and the Dos Reis tattoo on the back of his neck to signify his bloodline. Others include the lightbulb on his arm, which symbolizes his Illuminate album, and Good Boy on his arm, which is a tribute to his dog.Still, besides some of the negative feedback, fans are also oggling Mendes toned chest and abs in the photo. If we didnt know it was to debut a new tattoo, we just would have been distracted anyway.At the time of this writing, Mendes has yet to publicly speak about his tattoo or its meaning. Although it does resemble the tattoo under Rihannas breast line, it still aesthetically fits in and matches his other tattoos, so not all of the hate toward him is warranted.As it is, traditionally, bald eagles symbolize strength, courage, freedom, and immortality.

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) President Stacy Davis Gates answers a question from media during news conference at CTU headquarters in Chicago, Monday, April 14, 2025. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh)2025-04-14T15:17:33Z CHICAGO (AP) For the first time in over a decade, Chicagos public school teachers have a new contract without a strike or threat of a walkout. The four-year agreement includes pay hikes, hiring more teachers and class size limits.While negotiations between the Chicago Teachers Union and the district didnt escalate this time, there was unprecedented turmoil surrounding the unusual yearlong talks. The drama included the school superintendents firing, the entire board resigning and historic elections that tested the unions power.Now, Chicago faces uncertainty with Trump administration education cuts and looming questions about how the nations fourth-largest school district will pay for the contract. The turmoilWhile all parties are celebrating the agreement now, theres been no shortage of turbulence.Perhaps the main reason negotiations didnt devolve into a strike, as was the case in 2019 and 2012, was union ally Mayor Brandon Johnson. A former teacher and CTU organizer, the union helped elect him in 2023.He spent months trying to oust Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez, an appointee of former Mayor Lori Lightfoot, in a public spat. All of that chaos and turmoil there clearly dragged down the bargaining and probably shut it down for a fair amount of time, said Robert Bruno, a University of Illinois professor of labor and employment relations.Johnson wanted a $300 million high-interest loan to cover the new contract and a pension payment, which Martinez and the board rejected as fiscally irresponsible. In October, the board resigned in protest. The next month, the city held its first school elections. The transitional board a mix of union-backed candidates, charter school supporters and independents includes mayoral appointees until its fully elected in 2027.In December, the board moved to fire Martinez, though hell remain until June. At one point, Martinez accused new members of meeting privately with the union and won a judges restraining order. The talksThe union started contract talks last year with more than 700 requests, a record for the almost 30,000-member union.Union leaders say their goal is always equality in the segregated city. Roughly 70% of the 325,000 students in the district are low-income and more than 80% are Black or Latino. But district officials said those lofty requests would have cost over $10 billion. The districts annual budget is roughly $10 billion.The new agreements price tag is about $1.5 billion.We stayed true to our values, Martinez said after the deal was announced. We succeeded in keeping the best interest of our students always at the center.Both sides touted transparency. For the first time, some bargaining sessions were publicly livestreamed.It was also the first time in nearly about decades the union was allowed to bargain on issues like class size. In 1995, a Republican-led Illinois legislature passed a law limiting collective bargaining rights largely to pay and benefits. Democratic leaders changed that in 2021. CTU President Stacy Davis Gates celebrated the contract as a win that protects students, particularly those who are vulnerable under Donald Trumps presidency.Its big, its complex and it is certainly a step in the right direction, she said.Johnson also took a victory lap, trumpeting his union ties.When I was running for office, they said it would be a liability, he told reporters recently. But it sounds like to me that no other mayor could have brought Chicago Public Schools, the Board of Education, the mayors office and the CTU together to the table to make sure that our children get exactly what they deserve, which is a fully funded, well-rounded education.The dealUnder the deal, teachers will get 4% retroactive raises as the contract expired last year. Then theyll get 4% or 5% raises each year after.Starting next year, the median teacher pay will be $98,000. By the contracts end in 2028, the average teacher will earn around $110,000, according to the district. The district, which employs roughly 7,000 teachers, will hire 800 more, and nearly 100 additional librarians. Teachers will get an extra 10 minutes of daily prep time, for 70 minutes total. Also, class sizes will be limited by grade level. For instance, kindergarten will have the smallest and be capped at 25 students.Union leaders announced Monday that 97% of members who voted approved the deal. Davis Gates called it overwhelmingly historic levels of support for a contract that built on previous years work, including strikes. The futureExperts say what happened in Chicago could give other unions momentum. Los Angeles teachers, who are currently negotiating, noted CTU in a recent newsletter.Organizing is how we resist political agendas to dismantle our public schools and public services. And we can Win Our Future in Los Angeles, just like our union siblings in Chicago, the United Teachers Los Angeles newsletter read.Still, serious funding questions remain.The district has a roughly $500 million annual deficit and a pending $175 million pension reimbursement to the city. The district is also about to enter contract negotiations with the principals union.Martinez said the first year of the contract is covered, but theres uncertainty after that.Where the two sides agree is that the talks took too long.As Trump took office, union organizers said there was more gravity to their work, even as both sides in the Democratic stronghold are aligned on issues including immigrant rights.We had a sense of urgency, we had a sense of responsibility, Davis Gates said. The district shared the responsibility, but not the urgency.School officials accused the union of taking their time.We should have had this contract months ago, Martinez said.

A dead man is removed from the rubble of the Manoun family's house after it was targeted by an Israeli army strike in Jabalia al-Balad, Gaza City, Sunday, April 13, 2025. (AP Photo/Jehad Alshrafi)2025-04-14T17:23:01Z DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) A Hamas official said Monday that the Palestinian militant group is sending a delegation to the Gulf state of Qatar to continue indirect ceasefire talks with Israel over the war in Gaza, as the territorys Health Ministry said that 38 people were confirmed dead over the past day.The Hamas official said teams have been discussing terms for a new ceasefire agreement over recent days in Cairo, including a proposal that Hamas free eight to 10 hostages held in Gaza. But the Hamas official said a major sticking point remained over whether the war would end as part of any new deal.The talks in Qatar are meant to take place later this week or next, the official said.The Hamas official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the sensitive talks with the media. Officials from Israel and Qatar had no immediate comment.Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire in January that lasted eight weeks before Israel resumed the war last month. The initial ceasefire agreement was meant to bring the sides toward negotiating an end to the war, something Israel has resisted doing because it wants to defeat Hamas first. Hundreds have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire collapsedSince the ceasefire fell apart last month, Israel has blocked aid from entering Gaza and forces have also seized swaths of the coastal enclave in a bid to ratchet up pressure on Hamas to agree to a deal more aligned with Israels terms. On Monday, the United Nations humanitarian office warned that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is now likely to be the worst since Israel launched its retaliation to Hamas attacks 18 months ago, pointing to the Israeli ban on all supplies entering the Gaza Strip since March 2.U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters: No fuel has come in, no food has come in, no medicine has come in.The war started when Hamas-led militants killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, during an Oct. 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel and took 250 people captive. Many were freed in ceasefire deals and 59 remain in Gaza, 24 of whom are believed to still be alive. More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israels retaliatory offensive, according to Gazas Health Ministry, which does not differentiate between combatants and civilians in its count but says more than half of the dead have been women and children.The Health Ministry said Monday that 38 bodies were brought to hospitals across the territory over the past 24 hours. It said more than 1,600 people had been killed since the ceasefire collapsed. The Red Cross says Israel has detained a Palestinian medicAlso Monday, the International Committee of the Red Cross confirmed that a Palestinian medic was detained during an Israeli military operation in which troops killed 15 first responders in the Gaza Strip. It was the first confirmation of the medics whereabouts since the March 23 attack in southern Gaza.A statement from the Red Cross said it has not been granted access to visit him and did not say how it had received confirmation of his detention. The Israeli military had no immediate comment.The Israeli military initially said troops had opened fire on vehicles that raised suspicion because they were traveling without lights on. It later backtracked after cellphone video emerged showing clearly marked ambulances traveling with their sirens flashing before the shooting.The military also said it killed nine militants traveling in the ambulances, without providing evidence. It named one of the militants, but the name did not match those of any of the paramedics, and no other bodies are known to have been recovered.The military says it is investigating further.___Magdy reported from Cairo.

In this image taken from security camera video, Rumeysa Ozturk, a 30-year-old doctoral student at Tufts University, is detained by Department of Homeland Security agents on a street in Sommerville, Mass., March 25, 2025. (AP Photo)2025-04-14T18:46:37Z A federal judge in Vermont who is considering whether he has jurisdiction over the case of a Turkish Tufts University student detained by immigration officials in Louisiana raised the possibility Monday of having her brought back to his court for a hearing. U.S. District Judge William Sessions took under advisement arguments over Rumeysa Ozturk, 30, a doctoral student taken by immigration officials as she walked along a street in the Boston suburb of Somerville on March 25. After being taken to New Hampshire and then Vermont, she was put on a plane the next day and moved to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Basile, Louisiana. Ozturks lawyers are challenging the legal authority for ICEs detention. They are asking that she be immediately released from custody, or in the alternative, be returned to Vermont for further proceedings. A lawyer for the Justice Department said her case should be dismissed, saying the immigration court has jurisdiction. But Ozturks lawyers, who initially didnt know where she was for hours and first petitioned for her release in Massachusetts, argued for her to be released from detention whil her immigration case continues. Lawyers for Ozturk in the immigration proceeding asked Monday that she be released on bond, her legal team in Vermont said. Sessions brought up the idea of a hearing in his court in May if he were to assume jurisdiction over her petition. Why not do that at the same time that the removal proceedings continue on? he said. Lawyers on both sides said they would need to consult further to provide details on the amount of time needed for such a hearing. Ozturk is among several people with ties to American universities whose visas were revoked or have been stopped from entering the U.S. after they were accused of attending demonstrations or publicly expressed support for Palestinians. On Friday, a Louisiana immigration judge ruled that the U.S. can deport Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil based on the federal governments argument that he poses a national security risk. Ozturk was one of four students who wrote an op-ed in the campus newspaper, The Tufts Daily, last year criticizing the universitys response to student activists demanding that Tufts acknowledge the Palestinian genocide, disclose its investments and divest from companies with ties to Israel.Ozturks lawyers say her detention violates her constitutional rights, including free speech and due process. Ultimately, unfortunately, the heart of whats happening is that she is stuck in detention for an op-ed, her immigration attorney, Mahsa Khanbabai, said outside the federal building in Burlington after Mondays hearing. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said last month, without providing evidence, that investigations found that Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist group. A State Department memorandum showed that Ozturks student visa was revoked on March 21 following an assessment that she had been involved in associations that may undermine U.S. foreign policy by creating a hostile environment for Jewish students and indicating support for a designated terrorist organization including co-authoring an op-ed that found common cause with an organization that was later temporarily banned from campus. The Washington Post reported Sunday that another memorandum, written by an office within the State Department before Ozturk was detained, determined that there was no evidence showing that she took part in antisemitic activities or made public statements supporting a terrorist organization. Ozturks lawyers said Monday that the memorandum has not been supplied to them. A message seeking comment from the department on the report was emailed Monday afternoon.

"Who would you like us to cast for your next romantic adventure? Well take notes."At first, the actress played coy, insisting she "couldnt possibly say," to which Smart amusingly interjected, "Yes, you could." It turns out her co-star was correct."Whoever you think will be great," Einbinder mused, before rapidly adding, "La Seydoux. Please."

Smarts list of reasons to watch included strippers, coyotes, race cars, sex scenes, laughs, and "fabulous guest stars." Einbinder didnt have quite as much to add, but capped the whole thing off flawlessly."We have gay people," she said as the timer went off. "Feels like we summed it up."See on Instagram

Former Colorado sheriffs deputy Andrew Buen was convicted in the shooting death of Glass, who was in distress and called 911 for help. (Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office via AP, File)2025-04-14T04:09:26Z DENVER (AP) A former Colorado sheriffs deputy convicted of killing a 22-year-old man in distress who called 911 for help was sentenced Monday to three years in prison, the maximum sentence, by a judge who said the shooting was about power.Andrew Buen was convicted in February of criminally negligent homicide in the 2022 death of Christian Glass, which drew national attention and prompted calls to reform how authorities respond to people with mental health problems.Prosecutors alleged that Buen needlessly escalated a standoff with Glass, who showed signs of a mental health crisis and refused orders to get out of his SUV near Silver Plume, a small, former mining town along Interstate 70 in the Rocky Mountains west of Denver.His parents and the agencies involved reached a $19 million settlement that included crisis intervention training for officers responding to people in distress. Judge Catherine Cheroutes said Buens sentence needed to address both the loss of Glass and the damage done to the community by the shooting. I think this was about power. It wasnt a mistake. It was about, you need to listen to me because Im in charge, she said. She said she believed Buens family and supporters that he was a shirt-off-your-back kind of guy but said he acted differently when he put on a uniform and had a gun. Buen, wearing an orange jail uniform, apologized to the Glass family, dabbing his eyes with a tissue with his handcuffed hands as he spoke at a podium. Glasss family had questioned whether any remorse Buen might show would be sincere. Buen, his voice shaking, said they had every right to feel the way they do. He said his actions had escalated the standoff and told the judge he wasnt owed anything.There are a million things I should have done better that night, he said before he was sentenced. Sally Glass told Cheroutes that Buen had acted like a bully toward her son, a creative and gentle artist who was born in his fathers native New Zealand. He met evil that night and there was no compassion, she said.Simon Glass said his familys grief was compounded at first by authorities initially describing his son as the aggressor in the standoff, which the sheriffs office later apologized for. He said he struggles with anxiety and has trouble referring to his son in the past tense, but takes comfort that his sons name has been cleared, in part because of body camera footage.Katie Glass said she and her mother try to always drive below the speed limit to avoid being pulled over by the police. She said she regrets watching the body camera footage showing her older brothers final moments. He died terrified, in pain and all alone. That is what hurts me the most, she said. Buen, a former deputy in Clear Creek County, was convicted after a second trial. Nearly a year ago, another jury convicted him of a misdemeanor for recklessly putting other officers in danger by opening fire. However, jurors could not agree on a murder charge or a charge of official misconduct. With the support of Glass family, prosecutors decided to try Buen again on a second-degree murder charge. Jurors also had the option of convicting him of the less serious charge of criminally negligent homicide.The defense argued that Glass had a knife and Buen was legally justified in shooting him to protect a fellow officer.After his SUV got stuck, Glass told a 911 dispatcher he was being followed. He also made other statements suggesting he was paranoid, hallucinating or delusional and experiencing a mental health crisis, according to Buens indictment.When Buen and other officers arrived, Glass refused to get out. Video recorded by officers body cameras showed him making heart shapes with his hands to the officers.The officers fired bean bag rounds and shocked Glass with a Taser, but that failed to make him exit the car. He then took a knife he had offered to surrender at the beginning of the encounter and flung it out a rear window, which had been broken by a bean bag, toward an officer, according to the indictment. At that point Buen fired five times at him.Lord, hear me, Lord, hear me, Glass was heard saying moments before he was shot. RSShttps://feedx.net https://feedx.site

It has to stop.While police have not said what might have motivated the attack early Sunday, court documents say the suspect admitted he hated Shapiro and was plotting to beat him with a hammer.The attacker basically wasnt a fan of anybody, President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday. And certainly, a thing like that cannot be allowed to happen.Heres a look at other outbursts of political violence around the country in recent years: Elon Musks Tesla properties set ablazeIn recent months, Elon Musks electric vehicle company has become a target since President Donald Trump put Musk in charge of slashing government spending. Cybertrucks have been torched, and bullets and Molotov cocktails have been aimed at Tesla showrooms. Trump assassination attempts At a Pennsylvania campaign rally in July, Trump was grazed on the ear by one of a hail of bullets fired by a gunman, fatally shooting one Trump supporter and badly wounding two others, before police killed him. Then in September, a man with a rifle apparently plotted to kill Trump but was discovered in some shrubbery near the presidents golf course in Florida and arrested by Secret Service agents. New Mexico Republican headquarters torchedIn March, a fire damaged the entryway to the New Mexico Republican Party headquarters and was being being investigated as arson. Incendiary materials were found on the scene and spray paint on the side of the building read ICE=KKK, an apparent reference to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which has ramped up deportation efforts against people living in the country illegally. Democratic National Committee office shot upA volley of BB pellets and gunshots were fired at the glass front door and a window of a Democratic National Committee office in Arizona on three separate occasions last fall. Authorities said a man later arrested had more than 120 guns and over 250,000 rounds of ammunition in his home.Nancy Pelosis husband attacked at homeThen-House Speaker Nancy Pelosis husband was bludgeoned with a hammer by a man who broke into their San Francisco home in 2022. The man later admitted during trial testimony that he planned to hold the speaker hostage and that his plan was to end what he viewed as government corruption.Candidate for Louisville mayor targetedCurrent Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg, a Democrat, was the target of a shooting attempt at his campaign headquarters on Feb. 14, 2022 but was uninjured, although a bullet grazed the sweater he was wearing. The man who shot him was later convicted and sentenced to 17 years and six months in prison.Capitol stormed on Jan. 6, 2021Extremist groups carried out an unprecedented assault on the nations democracy by storming the U.S. Capitol to protest the 2020 presidential election results and Trumps defeat. After winning back the White House, Trump issued a sweeping grant of clemency to all 1,500-plus people charged in the Capitol riot. Plot to kidnap Michigans governorAnti-government extremists were arrested in 2020 in what authorities said was a plot to kidnap Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer at her vacation home and start a civil war. Two men portrayed as the leaders were convicted of conspiracy two years later. Shooting at Republican baseball practice An attacker opened fire with a rifle on Republican lawmakers practicing for a charity baseball game in 2017 in northern Virginia, critically wounding U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana. Authorities said the shooter, who was killed by police, was fueled by rage against Trump and GOP legislators.

Hornets coach Charles Lee said LaMelo Ball has "got to get stronger."

A member of the U.S. Army 212 Infantry 2nd Brigade stands next to the US-Mexico border as part of Joint Task Force Southern Border Thursday, April 3, 2025, in Douglas, Ariz. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin)2025-04-14T19:41:53Z WASHINGTON (AP) A long sliver of federal land along the U.S.-Mexico border that President Donald Trump is turning over to the Department of Defense would be controlled by the Army as part of a base, which could allow troops to detain any trespassers, including migrants, U.S. officials told The Associated Press.The transfer of that border zone to military control and making it part of an Army installation is an attempt by the Trump administration to get around a federal law that prohibits U.S. troops from being used in domestic law enforcement on American soil. But if the troops are providing security for land that is part of an Army base, they can perform that function. However, at least one presidential powers expert said the move is likely to be challenged in the courts. The officials said the issue is still under review in the Pentagon, but even as any legal review goes on, the administrations intent is to have troops detain migrants at the border. The corridor, known as the Roosevelt Reservation, is a 60-foot-wide federal buffer zone that ribbons along the border from New Mexico to California, except where it encounters tribal or privately owned land. It had been run by the Interior Department until Trump directed control be transferred to the Defense Department in a presidential memo released Friday night. For the next 45 days, the Defense Department will test taking control of a section of the Roosevelt Reservation in New Mexico, east of Fort Huachuca, which is an Army installation in Arizona, one of the U.S. officials said. During that period, the Army will put up additional fencing and signs warning people not to trespass. People not authorized to be in that area could be arrested by the Armys security forces, the officials said, who spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details not yet made public. Any migrants in the country illegally who are detained by military personnel on those lands would be turned over to local civilian law enforcement agencies, the officials said. It was not clear if the added land would require the military to deploy additional forces to the border. There are about 7,100 active duty troops under federal control currently assigned to the border and about 4,600 National Guard troops under state control. Troops are prohibited from conducting civilian law enforcement on U.S. soil under the Posse Comitatus Act. An exception known as the military purpose doctrine allows it in some cases but would not apply here and would likely be challenged in the courts, said Elizabeth Goitein, an expert on presidential emergency powers at the Brennan Center for Justice.Thats because even though troops would be on land designated as an Army installation, they would have to prove that their primary mission there was not to conduct border security and law enforcement and the whole point of Trumps order transferring the Roosevelt Reservation to the militarys control is to secure the border, she said.The military purpose doctrine only applies if the law enforcement aspect is incidental, Goitein said. Does this (area) have a military purpose that has nothing to do with enforcing customs and security at the border?-Rebecca Santana contributed from Washington.

President Donald Trump waits to greet El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele at the White House, Monday, April 14, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta)2025-04-14T17:51:03Z WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump on Monday suggested that he might temporarily exempt the auto industry from tariffs he previously imposed on the sector, to give carmakers time to adjust their supply chains.Im looking at something to help some of the car companies with it, Trump told reporters gathered in the Oval Office. The Republican president said automakers needed time to relocate production from Canada, Mexico and other places, And they need a little bit of time because theyre going to make them here, but they need a little bit of time. So Im talking about things like that.The statement hinted at yet another round of reversals on tariffs as Trumps onslaught of import taxes has panicked financial markets and raised deep concerns from Wall Street economists about a possible recession. When Trump announced the 25% auto tariffs on March 27, he described them as permanent. His hard lines on trade have become increasingly blurred as he has sought to limit the possible economic and political blowback from his policies. Last week, after a bond market sell-off pushed up interest rates on U.S. debt, Trump announced that for 90 days his broader tariffs against dozens of countries would instead be set at a baseline 10% to give time for negotiations. At the same time, Trump increased the import taxes on China to 145%, only to temporarily exempt electronics from some of those tariffs by having those goods charged at a 20% rate. I dont change my mind, but Im flexible, Trump said Monday.Trumps flexibility has also fueled a sense of uncertainty and confusion about his intentions and end goals. The S&P 500 stock index was up slightly in Monday afternoon trading, but its still down nearly 9% this year. Interest rates on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes were also elevated at roughly 4.4%.Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist for the Northern Trust global financial firm, said the whiplash had been so great that he might have to get fitted for a neck brace. Tannenbaum warned in an analysis: Damage to consumer, business, and market confidence may already be irreversible.The U.S. president also said that he spoke with Apple CEO Tim Cook and helped him recently. Many Apple products, including its popular iPhone, are assembled in China.The Trump administration has suggested that its tariffs had isolated China as the U.S. engaged in talks with other countries. But China is also seeking to build tighter relationships in Asia with nations stung by Trumps tariffs. Chinas leader, Xi Jinping, on Monday met in Hanoi with Vietnams Communist Party General Secretary To Lam with the message that no one wins in trade wars.Asked about the meeting, Trump suggested the two nations were conspiring to do economic harm to the U.S. by trying to figure out how do we screw the United States of America.

Drag Race star Jasmine Kennedie claims she had a harrowing experience last night where she was harassed and followed by a man on her way home from work.Kennedie, who came out as trans while filming season 14 of Drag Race, posted an Instagram reel with video footage of the man she alleges harassed and followed her and was caught on tape saying, Trump is still your daddy.After a short clip of the man at the heart of Kennedies allegations, the 25-year-old drag performer assured her followers that she was safe before detailing what happened to her while she was on the Oculus PATH train.I was verbally harassed and followed on the New Jersey Transit back home, and I will be sharing my story as well as video evidence and giving you all the rundown as to what happened to me last night, she said in the reel. Kennedie pointed out how scary it is to be a trans woman during the current political climate. Y'all, it is very, very dangerous right now to be a trans woman in Trump's America. I have lived in this city since 2017 and I have never been treated the way that I was treated last night, she explained.Kennedie was on her way after doing a show at Playhouse in the West Village when she was accosted by a strange man. The one time I decide to take public transit home is the one time I get verbally accosted, get called slurs, get followed, and really I had to stand up for myself, she said. And I was actually very proud of myself, because in this world and this climate, they want us to be afraid. They want us to be scared. They don't want us to be able to stand up for ourselves. And this person was very shocked to see that I, as a trans woman, was willing to stand up for myself and my rights.See on InstagramShe was waiting for a train while on the phone with her boyfriend and still had a full face on of drag when the random man decided to sit very, very, very close to me.Kennedie immediately stood up and the man called her the F slur and said this is Trumps America and Trumps your daddy.Despite being called anti-trans slurs, Kennedie said she refused to back down and take his verbal abuse. I said, Yes, I am a tr*nny do you have a problem with that? Yes, I am a trans woman. Do you have a problem with that? And then he had the nerve to say, you know, like you have a dick. And I said, Yes, and it's probably bigger than yours, she said.Kennedie went on to explain that trans women arent trying to claim that they were born male at birth, but Republicans seem incapable of understanding that our gender is different than our sex at birth and that gender and sex are two different things.Now, because the right-wing party has decided to make it their number one villain in attack and make them feel make them feel like an outsider, make them feel like they shouldn't belong, Kennedie said. But we do belong. And I stood the fuck up to this person. I do not care. I was not gonna let some man make me feel insignificant because I'm confident in who I am, and let's be honest, why'd you sit so close next to the doll?Kennedie said that the man then told her that she should be deported. I'm a US citizen. Are we just deporting anybody who doesn't go with the ideology of Trump? Now, is this what we're becoming? This is what the Trump's America wants is to deport people that aren't in their ideology.She may have felt vulnerable," but she didnt allow the man who was harassing her to make her cower.I don't give a fuck. I am who I am, and I'm never going to back down on this, she revealed. "This is a message to all trans women out there and trans brothers and trans men, do not let them stoke fear in you. Do not because at the end of the day, when you stand up, they don't expect you to stand up, but when you do, they back down, and they get scared, they get cowardice.Kennedie explained that once she pulled out her phone and started to record him, the man backed down and started to grovel. She also said that people were standing near her and on the train who defended her and made her feel safe.It was very comforting to know that the people in this world see me for who I am, and are willing to defend me while assholes and bigots like that can run around rampant and they think that there's no repercussions, Kennedie said. So, at the end of the day, you can never make me feel insignificant, because I know my power, and I did not let them take it from me.Kennedie finishes the reel with more recordings of the man, where he claims that she started the problem, tries to grab her phone, and even follows her onto the train.After posting the reel to Instagram detailing the harassment, Kennedie experienced an outpouring of support from followers and fellow Drag Race alum like Daya Betty, Amanda Tory Meating, Alyssa Hunter, Aurora Matrix, and Deja Skye.Other people reposted her reel asking for help identifying the man in question, which Kennedie added to her Instagram Stories. She also added a video clip where she said that shes received a tip that the man supposedly works at Gym U, but the information has yet to be confirmed.PRIDE has reached out to Kennedie for comment but has not heard back as of publication.

First came the homophobic remarks. Then came the cuddles. And now? Celebrity Big Brother UK (CBBUK) viewers arent quite sure what show theyre watching anymore.After Mickey Rourke was removed from the CBBUK house for inappropriate behaviorincluding multiple homophobic comments aimed at JoJo Siwaattention has now shifted to something no one saw coming: a surprisingly intimate bond between Siwa and fellow housemate Chris Hughes.The pair have been inseparable since day one, with Hughes notably comforting Siwa after Rourke told her, If I stay longer than four days, you wont be gay anymore, and later joked about tying her up and voting the lesbian out. While Hughes defense of Siwa was widely praised, whats happened since has complicated things. (@) In the most recent episode, Siwa and Hughes were seen cuddling in bed under the night vision cameras as Chris gently stroked her back and the two exchanged sleepy smiles. JoJo eventually returned to her own bed, but not before Chris told her he missed her while he was asleep. The next morning JoJo climbed back into bed for a morning hug; (@) Naturally, the internet explodedbecause lets be real, JoJo is very publicly in a relationship with nonbinary partner Kath Ebbs, while Hughes is straight and single. That makes this whole thing feel like the queerest will-they-wont-they in reality TV history.And yet, their chemistry is undeniable. During a pirate-themed challenge, JoJo (appointed Captain, of course) playfully took charge while Hughes praised her for being hot and kind of sexy. Later, he complimented her scent with a you smell nice tonight, before asking for a goodnight hug. (@) Even former contestant Michael Fabricant weighed in on Late & Live, claiming the two have real chemistry, despite host Will Best brushing it off as one-sided on Chriss part. Meanwhile, Chriss real-life brother Ben Hughes took to morning TV to insist its just a strong friendship, noting theyre among the youngest in the house and simply bonded over shared experiencesespecially after Rourkes attacks. (@) But viewers remain torn. Some see a sweet, platonic dynamic forged in a pressure cooker. Others feel lines are getting blurry, especially given JoJos relationship status and the potential optics of cuddling with a straight guy on national TV. Then theres the question of whether ITV is leaning into a showmance angle, editing footage to spark buzz and Twitter spirals. (@) Whatevers happening, one things clear: Rourke may have been booted, but the lesbian chaos he stirred up is still lingering.Celebrity Big Brother UK airs Monday through Friday on ITV1.Keep scrolling for other reactions. (@) "wtf is jojo siwa and chris hughes from love island having a budding romance on BIG BROTHER #CBBUK" (@) "Jo Jo Siwa having a bisexual awakening over Chris Hughes is the most insane television of the 21st century. Something AI would not even generate." (@) "imagine telling someone in 2017 that jojo siwa and chris hughes from love island would be in bed together on national tv" (@) "jojo washing chris hughes feet on the livestream oh saint siwa they could never make me hate you #cbbuk" (@) "Jojo siwa and Chris Hughes are my heartstopper" (@) "sorry but why did I just see a video of jojo siwa and chris hughes in bed together on my tiktok fyp ?????? i need to research"

A new trailer just dropped for Another Simple Favor, the highly anticipated sequel to 2018s A Simple Favor starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively. And if you thought the first film was dripping with sapphic tension, well, strap in, because it looks like we just might be kicking things up a notch now that all the cards are on the table.When A Simple Favor originally got lifted from the page and brought to life for the big screen, it felt like a queer fever dream wrapped in a campy noir mystery. Blake Lively in a three-piece suit? Anna Kendrick flustered and stammering through every scene? The film was packed with the kind of frenemy chemistry that would have had Stephanie (Kendrick) and Emily (Lively) ripping each others clothes off for some dangerously delicious hate sex had one of them been a dude.As it was, the tension was still there. We saw it. We called it. And we remained seated after the unexpected announcement of a sequel rolled in.Now, that time has come. With Another Simple Favor hitting Prime Video on May 1, it looks like director Paul Feig, writers Jessica Sharzer and Laeta Kalogridis, and this star-studded cast are leaning even harder into the chaos, couture, and chemistry. Whether Emily and Stephanie kiss (again) or simply kill each other remains to be seen, but the vibes are going hard.While we eagerly await the full film, for now, well settle for celebrating the five gayest moments in the latest trailer.1. The way they look at each otherYou really have to watch the trailer to get the full effect of this one, but the way Stephanie and Emily seeing one another presumably for the first time since Emily got out of prison is presented has some serious tension to it. And not just the kind that reminds us of all the bad times between them. 2. Emily's public proposalAs hinted at by the previous item on our list, one of the things A Simple Favor did fantastically was always keep the focus on the relationship between the two women. They both had men in their lives, to a certain extent, but everything going on between Stephanie and Emily was the center.The same is clearly true in the sequel, which means that even though a marriage proposal would normally be given a lot of weight, what clearly mattered here was Emily's proposal to Stephanie asking her to be her maid of honor. Who's even going to remember men were in this movie by the end of it? Not me, that's for sure.3. Emily calling Stephanie "baby"The ease with which Emily referred to Stephanie by a nickname often reserved for romantic partners or children in the first movie was disarming. And thankfully, her stint in prison hasn't stripped her of that habit.4. Whatever's going on hereLook, we don't actually know for sure who's in this scene. Is that Lively? Is that Kendrick? Is this even a scene of two women? Honestly, can't say for sure. But it has sapphic vibes, so, you know, fingers crossed.5. Blake Lively's outfits!Emily seriously rocked menswear in the first film, and that's another thing we are t-h-r-i-l-l-e-d to see repeated here. No matter what goes down in Another Simple Favor, we're ready to buckle up and come along for the ride. But if Stephanie wants to make a better choice and steer into her swerve towards the dark side this time...we definitely won't be mad about it.

This image taken from a video provided by Christopher Helali shows Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian man who led protests against the war in Gaza as a student at Columbia University, being detained at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Colchester, Vt., on Monday, April 14, 2025. (Christopher Helali via AP)2025-04-14T20:40:42Z A Palestinian man who led protests against the war in Gaza as a student at Columbia University was arrested Monday at a Vermont immigration office where he expected to be interviewed about finalizing his U.S. citizenship, his attorneys said.Mohsen Mahdawi, a legal permanent resident who has held a green card since 2015, was detained at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Colchester by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, his lawyers said. The attorneys said they do not know where he is. They filed a petition in federal court seeking an order barring the government from removing him from the state or country.The Trump administration detained Mohsen Mahdawi in direct retaliation for his advocacy on behalf of Palestinians and because of his identity as a Palestinian. His detention is an attempt to silence those who speak out against the atrocities in Gaza. It is also unconstitutional, attorney Luna Droubi said in an email. According to the court filing, Mahdawi was born in a refugee camp in the West Bank and moved to the United States in 2014. He recently completed coursework at Columbia and was expected to graduate in May before beginning a masters degree program there in the fall. The petition describes him as a committed Buddhist who believes in non-violence and empathy as a central tenet of his religion. As a student, Mahdawi was an outspoken critic of Israels military campaign in Gaza and organized campus protests until March 2024. He co-founded the Palestinian Student Union at Columbia with Mahmoud Khalil, another Palestinian permanent resident of the U.S. and graduate student who recently was detained by ICE. Khalil was the first person arrested under President Donald Trumps promised crackdown on students who joined campus protests against the war in Gaza. On Friday, an immigration judge in Louisiana ruled that Khalil can be deported as a national security risk. Christopher Helali, a friend of Mahdawi who lives near him in Vermont, was present outside the immigration office when Mahdawi was detained and recorded a video of Mahdawi being led away by authorities. In the video, which Helali released on social media Monday, Mahdawi is shown giving a peace sign with his hands and being led away to a car.Helali described Mahdawi as a peaceful demonstrator who has worked to foster dialogue about the struggle of Palestinians in his homeland. Helali said he and Mahdawi were aware that Mahdawi could be detained today and that his friend went forward with the appointment anyway.And rightfully so, he was nervous for what was going on around him. But he was very much resolute in coming to this interview and coming today because he didnt do anything wrong and was a law-abiding citizen, or soon-to-be citizen, Helali said.Vermonts congressional delegation issued a statement condemning Mahdawis arrest, saying that instead of taking one of the final steps in his citizenship process, he was handcuffed by armed officers with their faces covered. This is immoral, inhumane, and illegal. Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the United States, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention, said the statement from Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Peter Welch and Rep. Becca Balint. PATRICK WHITTLE Whittle is an Associated Press reporter based in Portland, Maine.

Hundreds of demonstrators gather on Cambridge Common during a rally at the historic park in Cambridge, Mass., Saturday, April 12, 2025, calling on Harvard University to resist what organizers described as attempts by President Trump to influence the institution. (Erin Clark/The Boston Globe via AP, File)2025-04-14T19:35:20Z Follow live updates on President Donald Trump and his administration BOSTON (AP) The federal government says its freezing more than $2.2 billion in grants and $60 million in contracts to Harvard University, since the institution said Monday it wont comply with the Trump administrations demands to limit activism on campus.In a letter to Harvard Friday, the administration called for broad government and leadership reforms, a requirement that Harvard institute what it calls merit-based admissions and hiring policies as well as conduct an audit of the study body, faculty and leadership on their views about diversity. The demands, which are an update from an earlier letter, also call for a ban on face masks which appeared to target pro-Palestinian protesters. They also pressure the university to stop recognizing or funding any student group or club that endorses or promotes criminal activity, illegal violence, or illegal harassment.

(AP Photo/Ben Curtis, File) Share Share Facebook Copy Link copied Print Email X LinkedIn Bluesky Flipboard Pinterest Reddit Read More Harvard President Alan Garber, in a letter to the Harvard community Monday, said the demands violated the universitys First Amendment rights and exceeds the statutory limits of the governments authority under Title VI, which prohibits discrimination against students based on their race, color or national origin. No government regardless of which party is in power should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue, Garber wrote, adding that the university had taken extensive reforms to address antisemitism. These ends will not be achieved by assertions of power, unmoored from the law, to control teaching and learning at Harvard and to dictate how we operate, he wrote. The work of addressing our shortcomings, fulfilling our commitments, and embodying our values is ours to define and undertake as a community.The demands of Harvard are part of a broader push of using taxpayer dollars to pressure major academic institutions to comply with President Donald Trumps political agenda and to influence campus policy. The administration has also argued that universities allowed what it considered to be antisemitism to go unchecked at campus protests last year against Israels war in Gaza; the schools deny it.

Harvards demand letter is similar to the one that prompted changes at Columbia University under the threat of billions of dollars in cuts.The demands from the Trump administration prompted a group of alumni to write to university leaders calling for it to legally contest and refuse to comply with unlawful demands that threaten academic freedom and university self-governance.Harvard stood up today for the integrity, values, and freedoms that serve as the foundation of higher education, said Anurima Bhargava, one of the alumni behind the letter. Harvard reminded the world that learning, innovation and transformative growth will not yield to bullying and authoritarian whims. It also sparked a protest over the weekend from members of the Harvard community and from residents of Cambridge and a lawsuit from the American Association of University Professors on Friday challenging the cuts.In their lawsuit, plaintiffs argue that the Trump administration has failed to follow steps required under Title VI before it starts cutting funds, and giving notice of the cuts to both the university and Congress.These sweeping yet indeterminate demands are not remedies targeting the causes of any determination of noncompliance with federal law. Instead, they overtly seek to impose on Harvard University political views and policy preferences advanced by the Trump administration and commit the University to punishing disfavored speech, plaintiffs wrote.
