The Trump administration has deported at least two immigrants to war-torn South Sudan in defiance of a federal court order, according to attorneys for the immigrants. The two men are originally from Myanmar and Vietnam and were being held in U.S. immigration custody. Their lawyers say they learned of the deportation plan after receiving an abrupt notice Monday evening. By Tuesday morning, the men were already on a plane along with as many as 10 other deportees, the lawyers said. The lawyers revealed these details in an emergency motion to a federal judge in Boston who has already forbidden the Trump administration from sending foreign nationals to so-called “third-party countries,” rather than their country of origin, without providing “meaningful” notice and a chance to raise concern about torture.

The previously unknown microbe, named Niallia tiangongensis after the space station where it was discovered, has proven especially resilient, surviving in the harsh conditions of microgravity. Tiangong’s Shenzhou-15 astronauts swabbed a cabin on the space station in May 2023 as part of a survey by the China Space Station Habitation Area Microbiome Program. Follow-up studies of the swabs traced the newly discovered microbe to a strain that appears similar to Niallia circulans—a rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium originally isolated from soil. It’s not clear whether the strain evolved on the space station or had already evolved on Earth before hitching a ride to low Earth orbit.

Leon County prosecutors say there is an open criminal investigation relating to information a lawmaker provided concerning the Hope Florida Foundation. In response to a request by the Herald/Times for Hope Florida Foundation-related records that prosecutors received from state Rep. Alex Andrade, the records custodian for State Attorney Jack Campbell said the information couldn’t be released because it was “part of an open, on-going investigation.” The response is the first confirmation of any law enforcement investigation related to the foundation, which was set up to support the Hope Florida program championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and his wife, first lady Casey DeSantis. Earlier this year, House Republicans alleged that the DeSantis administration illegally diverted $10 million from a settlement with a Medicaid contractor to a political committee controlled by the governor’s then-chief of staff.

Federal immigration agents were reported at a major strawberry packing facility in Ventura County late Thursday morning, sparking fear among workers and prompting at least one to leave early. That fear, however, never culminated in a full-scale raid thanks to informed staff who knew their legal ground and asserted their right to deny entry without a warrant. According to Ezequiel Ochoa, a gatekeeper at the site, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrived at the entrance but left shortly afterward when they were asked to present a warrant and failed to do so. “We know not to open the gate unless a valid warrant is presented,” Ochoa said.

A Frisco ISD official said Saturday night they were seeking charges against a man who said he “broke into” a high school stadium to capture video related to the fatal stabbing at a track meet earlier this month. In the video shared on X, Jake Lang, a U.S. Senate hopeful from Florida and founder of Protect White Americans, points to a dark streak on the ground near the bleachers of Frisco’s David Kuykendall Stadium and alleges it’s the blood of Austin Metcalf. Metcalf, 17, was killed at the stadium on April 2 during the District 11-5A track meet. “I gotta get out of here before the police come,” Lang says in the video. “I just hopped the fence to get in here.” He also wrote in the post containing the video that he “just broke into Kuykendall Stadium.” Lang, who was accused of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, was pardoned earlier this year by President Donald Trump while awaiting prosecution. He is running to fill the Florida Senate seat vacated by Marco Rubio after he was appointed U.S. Secretary of State.

The role of healthcare in propping up the US economy is often overlooked. America is the only advanced economy without a system of universal health coverage. The US spends more than $4.5tn annually on healthcare — and is projected to soon account for one-fifth of its economy. Even on a per capita basis, other large, rich nations spend about half as much as America.

Orange coloration in domestic cats almost always shows up in males. Only about 20% of all orange cats are female. Females, with two X chromosomes, need both copies of the orange gene to appear fully orange — rare. Most end up displaying a mosaic of orange and black, a patchwork quilt of fur caused by a genetic process called random X inactivation.

The house style of the New York Times is severely outdated. Depending on the topic, the newspaper’s purportedly impartial tone instead reads as smug, self-amused, and deeply lazy. The results are disastrous when applied to a recent article which sincerely considers the idea that Rachel Griffin-Accurso, the popular children’s entertainer known as Ms. Rachel, might be financially compensated by Hamas.
