Judge hears lawsuit over Trump’s order to cancel birthright citizenship

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

A federal judge in Seattle will hear first arguments Thursday in a lawsuit filed by several states seeking to block President Donald Trump’s executive order ending the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship regardless of parents’ immigration status. Federal Judge John Coughenour scheduled the session to consider the request from Arizona, Illinois, Oregon and Washington. The case is one of five lawsuits brought by 22 states and several immigrant advocacy groups across the country. The lawsuits include personal testimony from prosecutors who are U.S. citizens by birthright, and names of pregnant women who fear their children will not become U.S. citizens. The order signed by Trump on the day of his inauguration is scheduled to go into effect on February 19. It could affect thousands of people born in the country, according to one of the lawsuits. In 2022, there were approximately 255,000 births of citizen children to mothers living in the country illegally and approximately 153,000 births to both parents in such a situation, according to the lawsuit filed by the four states in Seattle. The United States is among about 30 countries where birthright citizenship, the principle of jus soli or “right of the soil,” applies. Most are in the American Continent, including Canada and Mexico. The lawsuits argue that the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizenship to people born and naturalized in the country and states have interpreted the amendment that way for a century. Ratified in 1868 after the Civil War, the amendment reads: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State in which they reside.” Trump’s order affirms that children of non-Americans are not subject to US jurisdiction and directs federal agencies not to recognize citizenship for children who do not have at least one parent who is a citizen. A key case on the issue unfolded in 1898. The Supreme Court held that Wong Kim Ark, who was born in San Francisco to Chinese immigrants, was a U.S. citizen because he was born in the country. After a trip abroad, he faced denial of reentry by the federal government on the grounds that he was not a citizen under the Chinese Exclusion Act. But some advocates of immigration restrictions have argued that that case clearly applied to children born to parents who were both legal immigrants. They say it is less clear whether it applies to children born to parents who do not have a residence permit. Trump’s executive order prompted attorneys general to share their personal connections to birthright citizenship. For example, Connecticut state Attorney General William Tong, a birthright U.S. citizen and the nation’s first elected Chinese American attorney general, said the lawsuit was personal to him. “There is no legitimate legal debate on this issue. But the fact that Trump is completely wrong will not stop him from causing serious harm right now to American families like mine,” Tong said this week. One of the lawsuits includes the case of a pregnant woman, identified as “Carmen,” who is not a citizen, but has lived in the United States for more than 15 years and has a pending visa application that could give her permanent residency status. “Depriving children of the ‘priceless treasure’ of citizenship is a serious injury,” the lawsuit says. “It denies them the full membership in American society to which they are entitled.”

ESA has a plan against space debris, but it needs help

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

The problem of space junk It’s getting more and more serious. Fragments of parts used in space missions are left wandering around the Earth until, at best, they deorbit and they return to our planet, burning as they cross the atmosphere and reducing to ashes. But other problems can also occur. For example, in the time they remain floating in space they can collide with each other producing a domino effect or, directly, collide with a satellite or even with a ship or space station. Furthermore, upon returning to Earth they may not burn sufficiently and escape the control of scientists on Earth, falling in unexpected places and causing accidents. For all this, the European Space Agency (ESA) has launched a plan aimed at finding a way to reduce trash in space to zero. It won’t be easy. In fact, some technologies are required that do not yet exist today. However, ESA has warned that this is not the biggest challenge of their plan. The most difficult thing will be to obtain the necessary collaboration of other space agenciesboth public and private. Everyone must agree to put measures in place to end space debris and they must do it together, informing the rest of the companies of each step. That will be the most difficult, because even though today we no longer talk about a competition as marked as when the United States faced the Soviet Union, all agencies want to be first and, to do so, sometimes they forget about the common good. That is the first thing we will have to work with and, without a doubt, it will be even more difficult than creating cutting-edge technologies capable of eliminating space debris. Why is the problem of space debris so serious? As explained in Universe Todaythere are billions of pieces of space junk orbiting Earth, and more than 25,000 of those pieces they are bigger than 10cm. It may seem that 10 centimeters is not enough, but that is enough to produce a dangerous crash. The space is immense, but the area occupied by all those pieces is not that large. They are all in orbit around the Earth. For this reason, it would not be difficult for them to collide with each other or with some object of human construction that is still in operation. These pieces can have many origins. Some are remnants of explosions during missions gone wrong. Others are objects that had a long useful life; but, once their mission was accomplished, they went out and were left to wander around the Earth. There are also remains of rockets that, once the ship they propelled was released from the Earth, were stranded in space if they did not manage to fall into the Earth. There are even smaller fragments from the ship propulsion launched from our planet or from the breakage of other larger pieces due to collision with space objects or exposure to the space environment. There is everything. Some of those objects pose a risk in space, but others pose a risk here on Earth. Space debris can cause a dangerous domino effect. According to a study published in 2022there is a 10% risk of a piece of space debris falling on a human being in the next decade. This would happen if, as we saw before, deorbits uncontrollably. At the moment it has not happened, but there have been cases of fragments of space debris that have fallen near human constructions. Or even inside. When this happens, space agencies try to wash their hands as much as possible. For this reason, at ESA they consider that international cooperation, although essential, would be very complicated. What is the ESA plan? The ESA plan consists of two parts. The first is based on prevent the release of new space junk and the second in the elimination of what is already in space. For the first, they point out a first measure that consists of using special coatings in all pieces that are launched into space. These would be responsible for preventing these pieces from being damaged by the passage of time in the inhospitable space conditions. They would also protect them from possible crashes. Thus, the release of small fragments by degradation. The second proposal to avoid releasing new space debris consists of using new forms of propulsion. Many of those currently used release small fragments in the process that later become space debris. For example, options could be tested based on the electromagnetism. A lot of research would be needed, but ESA considers it viable. Of course, they also propose better surveillance of everything that is released into space. There must be constant monitoring systems. It is not valid to leave free pieces to their fate without any type of control. As for the removal of space debris that is already accumulating, the measures would be even more complicated, but not impossible. New technologies would be needed capable of deorbiting in a controlled manner those fragments that, in monitoring, prove to be dangerous. There are already some inventions along these lines and, although they are not widely used, the first prototypes have been very promising. Collaboration is essential to eliminate space debris There are already companies, public and private, that have their own mechanisms to release less space debris. However, the majority are still a kind of spacewashingwhere they wash their faces with small measures that do not even equal the damage they do on the other hand. Image of the Starship debris just a few days ago. This is, for example, the case of SpaceX. Elon Musk’s company has been researching the use of reusable rockets. This is very useful to prevent the accumulation of space debris. However, it continues to launch thousands and thousands of satellites into space that could become space debris and, furthermore, it does not stop carrying out test flights of its ships, knowing that many of them will go wrong and release garbage into space. … Read more

Hughes Fire causes evacuation of 31,000 people in Southern California

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

Firefighters in Southern California are tackling the Hughes Fire, which continues to expand, which has forced the evacuation of thousands of people in the region and caused the evacuation of at least 31,000 residents. After starting on Wednesday, this fire has consumed more than 10,000 acres in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire), this fire is barely 14% contained, CNN reported. Located north of Santa Clarita, in the community of Castaic, the fire has led to the evacuation of around 31,000 residents, while another 23,000 have been advised of the possibility of evacuation, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna. David Acuña, Cal Fire battalion chief, reported that, so far, no material damage or injuries have been reported. “As we progress through the day, we will be able to better evaluate the situation,” Acuña said. Red flag warning will be until Friday Meantime, The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning that will extend through Friday morning for much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.. The combination of Santa Ana winds and extremely dry vegetation creates a high risk that new fires could emerge in the region. David Ortiz, spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department, noted: “The Santa Ana winds are blowing against this fire, so we had that in our favor.” However, firefighters are still working hard to make sure there are no hot spots left that could be revived by the wind. “We continue to expect some dry moisture and then possible wind gusts up to 60 mph.”Ortiz warned. “It’s very dry. Any spark can cause a new fire to start and spread quickly.” The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning that will extend through Friday morning for much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. The combination of Santa Ana winds and extremely dry vegetation creates a high risk that new fires could emerge in the region.

‘Emilia Pérez’ breaks record for a film not spoken in English with 13 Oscar nominations

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

Shortly after the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles that hit the heart of the film industry, a beleaguered Hollywood lined up this Thursday behind Netflix’s narco-musical about trans identity “Emilia Pérez” in the Oscar nominations. Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Pérez,” a Spanish-language film filmed in France, dominated with 13 nominations, including best picture and best actress for Karla Sofía Gascón, making her the first openly trans actress nominated for an Oscar. The film also earned nominations for direction, original screenplay, two of its songs, and for Zoe Saldaña. Zoe Saldaña poses at the “Emilia Perez” session at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in France on Sunday, May 19, 2024. (Vianney Le Caer/Invision/AP) Netflix, despite its leading role in Hollywood, has never won the best picture award. Many of its top contenders have racked up a number of nominations, including “Mank,” “The Irishman” and “Roma,” but have gone home with only a handful of trophies. “Emilia Pérez,” however, may be her best opportunity yet. It became the most nominated non-English language film in history, surpassing Alfonso Cuarón’s “Roma,” which earned 10 nominations. Only three films — “All About Eve,” “Titanic” and “La La Land” — have earned more nominations in Academy Awards history. Another non-English language film that featured prominently was “Ainda Estou Aqui” (“I’m Still Here”). The Brazilian film by Walter Salles about the family of a politician who disappeared during the military dictatorship was nominated for best film, international feature film and had a mention for its protagonist Fernanda Torres as best actress. The musical, “Wicked,” the hit adaptation of the Broadway musical, earned almost the same number of nominations. The lavish production inspired by Jon M. Chu’s “The Wizard of Oz” earned 10 nominations, including best picture and acting for its stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. “The Brutalist,” Brady Corbet’s VistaVision-shot postwar epic, also picked up an impressive 10 nominations, including best picture, best director and nods for actor Adrien Brody, Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones. The nominees for best film are the Brazilian film “Ainda Estou Aqui”; “Anora”; “The Brutalist”; “A Complete Unknown”; “Conclave” (“Conclave”); “Dune: Part Two”; “Emilia Pérez”; “Nickel Boys”; “The Substance” and “Wicked”. Alessandro Nivola and Adrien Brody in a scene from “The Brutalist”. (TIFF) In a very open Oscar race, the six most nominated films — “Emilia Pérez,” “Wicked,” “The Brutalist,” “Anora” (with six nominations) “Conclave” (with eight nominations) and “A Complete Unknown” ” (eight nominations) — met expectations. The biggest surprises were “Ainda Estou Aqui” and “Nickel Boys” by RaMell Ross, a drama filmed from the perspective of its protagonists that had been overlooked by many guilds in previous votes. Those nominees likely displaced some best picture prospects in “Sing Sing,” “September 5” and “A Real Pain,” though those films earned nominations in other categories. One of the boldest films of 2024, “The Apprentice” surprisingly scored a pair of nominations, for Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong. The film dramatizes President Donald Trump’s formative years in New York real estate under the tutelage of attorney Roy Cohn. Trump has called those involved with the film “human scum.” In the best actor category, where Stan and Brody were nominated, the other nominees were Timothée Chalamet (“A Complete Unknown”), Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”) and Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave”). Notably absent was Daniel Craig, acclaimed for his very un-James Bond performance in “Queer.” In this image provided by Mubi, Demi Moore in a scene from “The Substance.” (Mubi via AP) Best actress, a category that Demi Moore seemed to have secured for her impressive performance in “The Substance,” also had nominations for Moore, Gascón, Torres, Erivo and “Anora” star Mikey Madison. What is perhaps the most competitive category of the year left out Marianne Jean-Baptiste (“Hard Truths”), Pamela Anderson (“The Last Showgirl”), Nicole Kidman (“Babygirl”) and Angelina Jolie (“Maria”). In the directing category, “The Substance” filmmaker Coralie Fargeat made it into the otherwise all-male group of Sean Baker (“Anora”), Corbet, Audiard and James Mangold (“A Complete Unknown”). Most expected Edward Berger to be nominated for directing the papal thriller “Conclave.” “This has certainly been a difficult time for Los Angeles, where many members of our film community work and live. But the past few weeks have proven what we already know to be true: our film industry and Los Angeles are resilient, and for nearly a century, the Oscars have brought us together to celebrate our global film community,” said Academy President Janet Yang. , before the nominees were announced. Nominations were originally planned for January 17. But after wildfires began burning through Pacific Palisades, Altadena and other areas around Los Angeles on Jan. 7, leaving historic levels of destruction, the academy extended its voting window and twice postponed announcing the elections. nominations.
