SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An estimated 5,000 Venezuelans granted temporary protected status can continue to work and live in the U.S. despite a Supreme Court ruling revoking protections while their lawsuit against the Trump administration is pending. U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco ruled Friday that Venezuelans whose Temporary Protected Status was extended to October 2026 are not affected by the Supreme Court's order and are not eligible for deportation. The Supreme Court last month gave the go-ahead for the Republican administrationto strip TPSfrom an estimated 350,000 Venezuelans that would have expired in April. In doing so, the court put on holdChen's order blocking the administration fromrevoking protections granted under President Joe Biden. The justices provided no rationale, which is common in emergency appeals. But they singled out applicants who had received work authorization and other paperwork with new expiration dates of Oct. 2, 2026. Chen said at a hearing Friday that the justices could have stayed silent as to that subset of people, but didn't. His court continues to hear the underlying claim that the revocations by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem were unlawful. TPS allows people already in the United States to live and work legally because their native countries are deemed unsafe for return due to natural disaster or civil strife. President Donald Trumppromised on the campaign trail to deport millions of people, and in office has sought to dismantle Biden administration policies that expanded paths for migrants to live legally in the U.S.

US citizen who joined Islamic State in Syria is sentenced to 10 years in prisonNew Foto - US citizen who joined Islamic State in Syria is sentenced to 10 years in prison

WASHINGTON (AP) — A naturalized U.S. citizen who pleaded guilty to receiving military training from the Islamic State group was sentenced Monday to 10 years in federal prison. Lirim Sylejmani, 49, engaged in at least one battle against U.S.-led forces after he entered Syria in 2015, according to prosecutors. U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras in Washington, D.C., imposed Sylejmani's prison sentence followed by a lifetime of supervised release. Sylejmani, who was born in Kosovo and moved to Chicago roughly 25 years ago, pleaded guilty last December to one count of receiving military training from a foreign terrorist organization. In November 2015, Sylejmani and his family flew to Turkey and then crossed the border into Syria, where he began training with other IS recruits, according to prosecutors. They said he was injured in a battle with Syrian forces in June 2016 and was captured with his family in Baghouz, Syria, in February 2019. "The conduct is far more than a single, impulsive act. He chose to jeopardize the safety of his family by bringing them to a war-torn country to join and take up arms for ISIS,"prosecutors wrote. Sylejmani's attorneys say he isn't a "committed jihadist" and doesn't espouse violence. "He is guilt ridden for his actions and the harm he has visited on his family, who remain detained in a refugee camp in Syria living under terrible conditions,"his lawyers wrote. "He wishes only to complete his time and find his wife and children, so he can live an average law-abiding life with them."

Romanian man pleads guilty to 'swatting' plot that targeted an ex-US president and lawmakersNew Foto - Romanian man pleads guilty to 'swatting' plot that targeted an ex-US president and lawmakers

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Romanian citizen pleaded guilty on Monday to engaging in a plot to use "swatting" calls and bomb threats to intimidate and threaten dozens of people with bogus police emergencies, including a former U.S. president and several members of Congress. Thomasz Szabo, 26, is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 23 by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington, D.C. Szabo wasextradited from Romaniain November 2024. He was charged withNemanja Radovanovic, 21, of Serbia. Szabo pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and one count of making bomb threats. The two men targeted roughly 100 people with"swatting"calls to instigate an aggressive response by police officers at the victims' homes, afederal indictmentalleges. A U.S. Secret Service agent's affidavit doesn't name the former U.S. president or any other officials identified as victims of the hoax calls. The two defendants are not explicitly charged in the indictment with threatening a former president, but one of the alleged victims is identified as a "former elected official from the executive branch" who was swatted on Jan. 9. 2024. Radovanovic falsely reported a killing and threatened to set off an explosion at that person's home, the indictment says. Szabo told Radovanovic that they should pick targets from both the Republican and Democratic parties because "we are not on any side," the indictment says. "This defendant led a dangerous swatting criminal conspiracy, deliberately threatening dozens of government officials with violent hoaxes and targeting our nation's security infrastructure from behind a screen overseas," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. Charges against Radovanovic are still pending. Online court records indicate that he hasn't made any court appearances in Washington yet.

The Morelli Brothers/Glamour Germany Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Beckham shared intimate details of their 2022 wedding in a new interview withGlamour The couple revealed their "favorite moments" and the nerves they felt exchanging vows The interview comes amid reports of ongoing drama within the extended Beckham family Brooklyn Peltz BeckhamandNicola Peltz Beckhamare sharing intimate details surrounding their 2022 wedding. In a cover interview forGlamourpublished on Monday, June 2, the couple reminisced about thePalm Beach nuptials. When sharing advice to couples planning a wedding, Peltz, 30, recommended taking a moment "just for the two of you." "Those were my favorite moments," she recalled of her own big day. "Weddings can be intense, especially when you're busy making sure everyone else is having fun. That little break reminded us what it's really about: us." Brooklyn, 26, agreed, adding, "We took a quick drive, just the two of us. It was perfect." Exchanging vows was a nerve-wracking experience for both of them. "Saying our vows in front of that many people? Terrifying," Peltz said. "Someone told me, 'Just look at Brooklyn.' And as soon as I did, the nerves faded. When my dad took my hand and said, 'Are you ready?' I just started crying. I couldn't even look at him. I was thinking, My makeup! And when I walked down the aisle, [UK artist] Sekou was singing 'Songbird' live. I still get goosebumps just thinking about it." The Morelli Brothers/Glamour Germany Brooklyn said that he's "usually chill speaking in front of people, but that day I was a wreck.""Nicola kept me waiting for 10 minutes, and it felt like forever," he recalled. "But when I saw her, everything else disappeared." The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! © The Morelli Brothers/Glamour Germany The couple also revealed details about Brooklyn's surprise proposal to Nicola. "I honestly had no idea — I would've worn a different outfit!" the actress shared. "Brooklyn planned everything in secret. After the proposal, [my family] drove up in golf carts. I cried so hard my face was swollen. I couldn't even take a proper photo. I only really looked at the ring later." "A few hours earlier, I'd gotten into a golf cart accident and had to get stitches in my hand," Brooklyn said. "My thumb was wrapped. I couldn't even open the wine!" Right before their rehearsal dinner, Nicola recalled, Brooklyn surprised her with a second ring. "And I had our vows tattooed on me," Brooklyn added. TheGlamourinterview comes amid reports of ongoing drama within the extended Beckham family. On May 29, a source close to the Peltz family told PEOPLE that tensions came to a head afterVictoria Beckhamallegedly hijacked a dance at her son's 2022 wedding — even though the couple had been planning on dancing to the song together. The Morelli Brothers/Glamour Germany "Marc Anthony, who is a friend of the Beckhams, offered to perform as a gift at the wedding," the source explained. "Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, 'The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up ... Victoria Beckham!'" The source claimed that the new bride allegedly "felt that Victoria ruined her wedding, and couldn't understand why." The Morelli Brothers/Glamour Germany Reps for Victoria andDavid Beckhamand Anthony did not return PEOPLE's request for comment.A second source added that the entire room fell silent, as guests were so shocked that Anthony called Victoria's name instead of Nicola's. "It was such a jaw-dropping moment that it left the whole room in absolute shock — you could hear a pin drop," the second source continued. But a source who attended the wedding noted that the evening played out differently. For starters, the guest said, "Nicola and Brooklyn had their formal first dance early in the evening and she also had the traditional first dance with her father." At the time, theDaily Mailreported the couple had their first dance to "Only Fools Rush In," made famous by Elvis Presley and performed by a live singer at the reception. Their second dance, the outlet reported, was to the Ben E. King classic "Stand By Me."

Gareth Cattermole/Getty The source who attended the wedding further shared that Anthony's performance came much later in the evening: "Later on, when everyone was casual, Marc Anthony performed and got people dancing. Brooklyn and Victoria danced, David and Harper danced, and everyone had a great time." The report came just days after Brooklyn, 26, posted a mysterious message on Instagram stating that he'd"always choose"his wife. On May 30, Nicola made her owncryptic poston Instagram Stories, sharing text reading "I would choose my mom to be my mom in every lifetime. again, and again, and again." It also included a small red heart. On May 31,The Mail on Sundayreported that Brooklyn and Nicola areworking with British lawyer Jenny Afia, who works for the Schillings law firm. The couple's reps declined to comment, while a legal source told PEOPLE, "There is absolutely no connection to Meghan and Harry. Schillings is a respected firm with a wide range of clients." "Ironically, the inaccurate reporting proves exactly why one hires legal counsel, to set the record straight and combat the spread of deliberate misinformation," the source added.
