CHICAGO (AP) The detention by immigration authorities of a Chicago man whose 16-year-old daughter is undergoing treatment for advanced cancer is illegal, and he must be given a bond hearing by Oct. 31, a federal judge has ruled. Attorneys for Ruben Torres Maldonado, 40, who was detained Oct. 18, have petitioned for his release as his deportation case goes through the system.

I actually wanted to read a line from an op-ed that Long Island Congressman Tom Suozzi wrote in the New York Times over the weekend, because he said something that, frankly, is probably going to make a lot of your listeners' heads explode. And my head explode a little, but it's worth hearing. He said Democrats must concede that Donald Trump was right about the importance of securing the border.

I'm a bit nervous and I'm afraid,

Soap Opera, an ambitious video work by the Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson, is on view for the first time at the project space of Reykjavík's gallery i8, i8 Grandi. The piece is a recording of Santa Barbara: A Living Sculpture, a durational performance which explored immigration, class, war and power through the medium of daytime television, and took place at Moscow's GES-2 House of Culture between December 2021 and February 2022.

Asked how concerned voters were about how immigration will impact workers in the UK in 2029, 40% of respondents said they were very concerned, 27% said they were somewhat concerned and 25% not very or at all concerned.

Two government ministries are being sued for alleged breach of a €4.4m contract for the refurbishment of a building in a west Dublin industrial estate for its use as an accommodation centre for international protection applicants.

Lozano, who lives in South L.A. and has manned a palatero cart in the Culver City area for more than 20 years, was one of thousands of undocumented immigrants detained this summer in L.A. as part of an ongoing mass deportation effort by the Trump administration. The ICE raids have rattled Southern California and fueled widespread protest against the federal government's immigration policies.

You've got Karoline Leavitt, who's sick. She's out of control. And I'm not sure whether she's just demented, ignorant, a stone-cold liar, or all of the above, Jeffries said. But the notion that an official White House spokesperson would say that the Democratic Party consists of terrorists, violent criminals, and undocumented immigrants it just makes no sense that this is what the American people are getting from the Trump administration in the middle of a shutdown.

An investigation launched after a deadly Florida crash involving a foreign truck driver who made an illegal U-turn on Aug. 12 found what Duffy called significant failures in the way California is enforcing rules that took effect in June after one of President Donald Trump's executive orders. California had issued the driver a commercial license, but these English rules predate the crash.

A larger proportion of people who frequently watch GB News wrongly believe that net migration to the UK is increasing than those of other major channels, according to a study examining public attitudes to broadcasting impartiality. Research by Cardiff University, seen by the Guardian, also found public opposition to allowing politicians to front current affairs programmes contradicting research carried out by regulator, Ofcom.

Patent applications are a key indicator of a country's innovative capacity. A high volume of filings indicates effective research and development (R&D) activity, economic competitiveness, and a forward-looking approach to growth and productivity. Patent application filings don't actually record nationality or immigration background. But using a unique methodology, which assigns inventors' first names to one of 24 language areas, the IW patent database claims to be able to track "the region of origin" of inventors with a high degree of accuracy.

Good morning from Washington, where we are about to commence the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit. You can read more about our headliners here and join us via livestream. When I speak with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva this afternoon, I'll be curious to hear not only her prognosis for the economic landscape but also her reflections on leading an organization devoted to globalization in a world that's putting up walls.

In her speech at the conference, the home secretary said that if someone wanted to stay in the UK permanently, they would have to contribute. She said: "I will be proposing a series of new tests, such as being in work, making National Insurance contributions, not taking a penny in benefits, learning English to a high standard, having no criminal record and that you have truly given back to your community, such as by volunteering your time to a local cause."

I'm telling you the truth, and you can go look at all the documents yourself. Don't look at Republican paperwork. Look at the Congressional Budget Office, who said that we had at least 1.4 million illegal aliens draining the resources from Medicaid, which is why you put their forms into law and got it signed July 4th. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries' counter-proposal for the CR would reverse all that.

This escalation [in raids] puts thousands of our neighbors in extreme peril, so I believe we need to act now,

He basically turned her over to the sex traffickers, who have been trafficking her on a true human trafficking level.

Mayor Barbara Lee portrayed Oakland as a city that's undergoing positive change and prepared to take on challenges during her State of the City address Tuesday before the City Council. "Oakland is on the move," she said, "and we are moving with purpose, with urgency, and we are seeing results." The annual check-up was Lee's first since she took office five months ago.
