Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:44:19 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday blocked a rule that allows immigration authorities to deny asylum to migrants who arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border without first applying online or seeking protection in a country they passed through. But the judge delayed his ruling from taking effect immediately to give President Joe Biden's administration time to appeal.The order from U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar of the Northern District of California takes away a key enforcement tool set in place by the Biden administration as coronavirus-based restrictions on asylum expired in May. The use of a rule known as Title 42 allowed the U.S. to expel millions of people starting in early 2020 on the grounds of preventing the spread of COVID-19. ‘It’s freedom’: Migrant finds housing after 9 months in Denver shelter “The Rule — which has been in effect for two months — cannot remain in place,” Tigar wrote in an order that will not take effect for two weeks.The new rule imposes severe limitat...

Robert Oppenheimer stands among a crowd waving American flags – bearing the wrong number of stars.“It was good and all, but I’ll be that guy and complain they used 50-star flags in a scene set in 1945,” Twitter user Andy Craig wrote on Friday.In 1945, the American flag featured 48 stars, as Alaska and Hawaii hadn’t yet become US states.It wasn’t until July 4, 1960 that a 50-star flag was first flown in the US.But in another scene set in the same year, the correct American flag flies behind Oppenheimer.One Twitter user had a theory: “I can argue that this is done intentionally as the colored scenes were from Oppenheimer’s perspective, while the black and white scenes were from another.
