Within weeks, there could be a halt to the Trump administration's practice of arresting immigrants at court hearings in San Francisco, if a district court judge rules in favor of the American Civil Liberties Union and other Bay Area groups challenging the practice. Immigration agents have for months arrested immigrants after their asylum hearings, placed them in federal custody, and tried to deport them to the countries they have fled from (and, as of late, to countries they have never been to).
Marcus Williams, a guard who played for San Francisco from 2022-25, was ruled ineligible after the NCAA found he provided information to former Fresno State player Mykell Robinson ahead of at least nine games during the 2024-25 season.

In each instance, Williams directed Robinson to take the over on his statistics, according to the NCAA.
Lisa Torres woke up with an unexplained chest pain on July 29, 2017. She was in Guanajuato, visiting family. She thought she was going to get sick.

Roberto had left Houston, Texas, at the wheel of a vehicle around 4:00 a.m. He was due to arrive in the Mexican city by 10:00 a.m.

The department contacted the International Fund for Animal Welfare, which operates a local marine mammal rescue team.

As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors are expected to dismiss murder and assault charges against Adams at his sentencing hearing on Jan. 6, 2026.

The past week has been up and down for Iowa State fans. The men's hoops team beat top-ranked Purdue on Saturday and replaced the Boilermakers as a 1-seed as a result. But longtime football coach Matt Campbell also left for Penn State, and the university faces a hefty fine from the Big 12 for the Cyclones declining to play in a bowl game.
Rowan said the book is an attempt to clarify the confusion he sees mounting over the definition of private credit, which he attributed to the "media-ization of financial markets." "One of the things that's been frustrating to us is that we have this term private credit," Rowan said. "No one actually knows what it means, and everyone uses it differently."
The request by Jones Dickson's administration which is expected to be argued at a hearing Friday morning marks yet another twist in the case against Jason Fletcher, who was charged with manslaughter months after the killing but has yet to face trial amid a rotating cast of district attorneys. His case has since become a rallying cry by advocates pushing for greater accountability among law enforcement officers who use deadly force.
An offseason trade would be selling at a bit of a low point. Kwan had a .700 OPS or worse in each of the final four months. His overall .272/.330/.374 line was league average, but that was carried mostly by a fantastic April. It's primarily a reflection of a drop in his batting average on balls in play. BABIP volatility is to be expected for a player who rarely hits the ball hard but is one of the sport's five best pure contact hitters.
I've never had a blank calendar, and I've now seen what one looks like in a few months, and it's kind of exciting,
If the flotation proceeds as planned, it would sit just below Saudi Aramco's record-setting $1.7 trillion IPO in 2019. Musk, 54, founded SpaceX in 2002 with the goal of revolutionising space travel by slashing launch costs and making human missions to Mars viable. Over the past two decades, the company has reshaped the global launch market, fielding its reusable Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets and becoming the partner of choice for governments, satellite operators and private clients.
The 31-year-old Lowe has been a consistently above-average hitter throughout his big league tenure, dating all the way back to his MLB debut in 2018. That includes 2025, when Lowe belted 31 home runs in just 134 games. The lefty-swinging slugger turned in an overall .256/.307/.477 batting line. While his 6.9% walk rate was the lowest of his career, Lowe's 91.1 mph average exit velocity and 46.4% hard-hit rate were some of the best he's posted in his eight major league seasons.
Before, carrying my passport around, I had a feeling of pride, and now I'm carrying it and it has a lot of darkness around it because now I'm just like, I just want to get home safe to my kids.'

These seasonal jobs run the gamut. Think temporary cashiers, gift wrappers, sales associates, greeters, merchandisers, warehouse unloaders, delivery drivers. But the quintessential and most iconic seasonal worker has got to be Santa Claus.

"But the ceremony comes at an awkward moment because Machado appears to have given up on using peaceful means to dislodge Venezuela's authoritarian regime.

She has also emerged as a full-throated supporter of President Trump's gunboat diplomacy in the Caribbean Sea, including his threats to remove Maduro by force."

NEW YORK -- A federal judge on Tuesday granted the Justice Department's request to publicly release grand jury transcripts and other material from Ghislaine Maxwell's sex trafficking case, citing a new law that requires the government to open its files on Jeffrey Epstein and his longtime confidant, but he cautioned that people shouldn't expect to learn much new information from them.
At the Dec. 2 hearing, Commissioner Todd Olsen issued a protective order prohibiting Smith from any in-person, written or electronic contact with the children. When Smith asked the court to consider pretrial release, Olsen asked the state's opinion, and prosecutor Clifford Ross opposed the request unequivocally. "That's a hard no, your honor," Ross said. He directed the court to the probable cause declaration, citing safety concerns, and maintained that a no-bail warrant remained appropriate, given the severity of the allegations against Smith.
Alameda County prosecutors have struck plea deals with two alleged robbers, both of whom were accused of luring their victims into a false sense of security with the help of a suspected prostitute. In one case, Nicholas Lewis, 31, was sentenced to nine days he already served in jail plus probation after pleading no contest to grand theft. In another, Luis Silva, 24, also pleaded no contest to grand theft for a two-year probation term, court records show.
