Immigrants in the United States are being ordered to attend hearings at previously undisclosed locations, sometimes with only days’ notice and in at least two cases with no notice at all, lawyers say. The hearings have been moved from established immigration courts in Hyattsville and Baltimore, Maryland, and Sterling, Virginia, to buildings in Washington DC and Falls Church, Virginia, which were not previously operating as regular public immigration courtrooms. Immigration attorneys who have reviewed hearing notices or attended proceedings say the changes are creating a serious risk that people will miss their hearings and face deportation orders in their absence.…

Jim Thornton, the long-serving announcer on the US game show Wheel of Fortune, was photographed looking at a laptop during an American Airlines flight in May, as his suspension from the programme prompts an investigation into allegations concerning his conduct. The 61-year-old was captured by a fellow passenger while travelling from Charlotte to Los Angeles. The images, obtained by the Daily Mail, appear to show material from an online chatroom that the passenger believed was linked to people with paedophilic thoughts. The passenger reportedly alerted cabin crew after seeing the screen. American Airlines said Flight 1276 was met by law…

Isak opened the scoring with a powerful effort which slipped through Scherpen’s hands after Gakpo had played him into the area. Moments later, the goalkeeper raced from his line to deal with a long ball but was beaten to it by…

Months after the September 11 attacks, the vast clean-up at Ground Zero had become an painstaking search for human remains, personal belongings and evidence of what had happened inside the World Trade Center. Archival footage from 60 Minutes shows workers carefully examining the tonnes of debris removed from the site in lower Manhattan, where the remains of the Twin Towers had been reduced to a sprawling and unstable mound of steel, concrete and dust. The material was transported to Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island, which was temporarily reopened and treated as a crime scene. There, teams sifted through the…

Michigan Democrats are attempting to repair divisions after a bitter primary that left Abdul El-Sayed as their Senate nominee in a contest expected to be among the closest of November’s elections. El-Sayed, a progressive former public health official, narrowly defeated Representative Haley Stevens for the Democratic nomination on 4 August. He will face Republican Mike Rogers, a former congressman who came within a fraction of a percentage point of winning a Michigan Senate seat in 2024. The result has heightened the stakes for Democrats, who must retain the seat being vacated by retiring Senator Gary Peters if they are to…
