President Donald Trump's efforts to limit birthright citizenship were blocked again. The "Love Island USA" drama continues. And a super movie flies into theaters this weekend. |
Trump's birthright citizenship efforts blocked by judge |
President Donald Trump's administration is once again blocked from enforcing his executive order limiting birthright citizenship nationwide, after the Supreme Court restricted the ability of judges to use nationwide injunctions to halt his policies. U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante in Concord, New Hampshire, issued the ruling Thursday after immigrant rights advocates implored him to grant class-action status to a lawsuit aimed at representing any babies whose citizenship status would be threatened by implementation of Trump's directive. Laplante agreed, allowing him to issue a new judicial order blocking implementation of the Republican president's policy nationwide.

'Love Island USA' star issues an apology |
After her abrupt exit from the "Love Island USA" villa, Cierra Ortega has addressed alleged Instagram posts and messages in which she used a racist slur against people of Asian descent to refer to her eyes. Wearing a sweater with the word "empathy" across it, Ortega, 25, issued an apology in a nearly five-minute Instagram video to "not just anyone that I have hurt or deeply offended, but most importantly, the entire Asian community." Ortega was phased out of the Peacock romance competition show on Sunday, a move she said she agreed with.

A bird? A plane? No, it's Superman! |
… Heading straight to the box office. The new "Superman," written and directed by James Gunn, hits theaters Friday. Actor David Corenswet takes on the role of the new Man of Steel in the movie that launches a rebooted DC movie universe. In an interview with USA TODAY, Corenswet acknowledged that Superman is often labeled "boring" because of his invincibility. But his take on the iconic superhero is that he knows he can't fix everything. Corenswet's Superman is an Everyman. "He wants desperately to fit in and to love and be loved," Corenswet said.
