Half a million immigrants could eventually get US citizenship under a sweeping new plan from Biden

President Joe Biden ordered expansive election-year action Tuesday to offer potential citizenship to hundreds of thousands of immigrants without legal status in the U.S., aiming to balance his recent aggressive crackdown on the southern border that enraged advocates and many Democratic lawmakers. The president announced that his administration will, in the coming months, allow certain U.S. citizens’ spouses without legal status to apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship without having to first depart the country. The action by Biden, a Democrat, could affect upwards of half a million immigrants, according to senior administration officials. “The Statue of Liberty is not some relic of American history. It still stands for who we are,” Biden said from a crowded East Ro...

Judge considers dismissing indictment against Alec Baldwin in fatal shooting of cinematographer

A New Mexico judge is considering Alec Baldwin's request to dismiss a grand jury indictment against him at a virtual court hearing on Friday. The indictment in January charged Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on October 21, 2021, at a movie ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe. Baldwin, a lead actor and co-producer on the Western Rust, has pleaded not guilty to the charge and his attorneys have urged dismissal. They have argued that prosecutors flouted the rules of grand jury proceedings to divert attention away from exculpatory evidence and witnesses. The involuntary manslaughter charge carries a maximum sentence of one and a half years in prison. During rehearsal, Baldwin was pointing a gun a...

Power outages from Texas storms which have killed four could last weeks as temperatures soar

Power outages could last for weeks in the Houston, Texas area of the USA after a destructive complex of storms tore through the area, killing at least four people and crumpling critical power infrastructure. More than 900,000 homes and businesses lost power in Houston's Harris County during the peak of the storm's violent winds, and more than 650,000 remained in the dark Friday afternoon, according to PowerOutage.us. "For some folks, the luckier ones, (power restoration) might be days, not hours. For many, many people, it's going to be weeks and not days," Harris County Judge Lina Hildago said in a Friday news briefing. Hidalgo said the weeks-long restoration timeframe was for homes and businesses tied into the 10 steel power transmission towers downed in the state, seven ...

Judge holds Trump in contempt, fines him $13,900 and raises threat of jail in hush money trial

Former United States president Donald Trump has been held in contempt of court and fined US$9000 ($13,864) for repeatedly violating a gag order that barred him from making public statements about witnesses, jurors and some others connected to his New York hush money case. If he does it again, the judge warned on Tuesday, he could be jailed. Prosecutors had alleged 10 violations, but New York Judge Juan M Merchan found there were nine. The ruling was a stinging rebuke for the Republican former president, who had insisted he was exercising his free speech rights. Merchan wrote that Trump "is hereby warned that the Court will not tolerate continued wilful violations of its lawful orders and that if necessary and appropriate under the circumstances, it will impose an inc...

New study finds no brain injuries among ‘Havana syndrome’ patients

An array of advanced tests found no brain injuries or degeneration among US diplomats and other government employees who suffer mysterious health problems once dubbed "Havana syndrome, " researchers reported today. The National Institutes of Health's nearly five-year study offers no explanation for symptoms including headaches, balance problems and difficulties with thinking and sleep that were first reported in Cuba in 2016 and later by hundreds of American personnel in multiple countries. But it did contradict some earlier findings that raised the spectre of brain injuries in people experiencing what the State Department now calls "anomalous health incidents." The US embassy in Havana, Cub, where "Havana syndrome" was first reported. (AP) "These individuals have r...

British Army website claim that Kate would appear at Trooping the Colour removed

The British Army has swiftly removed a claim on its website that Catherine, the Princess of Wales, will attend a Trooping the Colour ceremony in June. That engagement would have been the first appearance announced for the 42-year-old royal since she underwent abdominal surgery. The announcement by the Ministry of Defence caused confusion, because Prince William and Kate's office, Kensington Palace, had not confirmed any scheduled public events for Kate. The BBC reported that the Army did not seek approval from the palace before publishing the page, which had a picture of Kate and copy stating she would be reviewing troops on 8 June. Kate has been out of the public eye since January, when palace officials announced that she was admitted to a private London hospital for...
