Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A federal judge took Diego Pavia ‘s request for a limited preliminary injunction under advisement at the end of a hearing Wednesday as the Vanderbilt quarterback seeks to play at least another season while his lawsuit against the NCAA plays out in court. U.S. District Judge William L. Campbell asked attorneys how quickly they could be ready for trial. He also asked about the upcoming transfer portal, which opens Monday and closes Dec. 28. Attorney Ryan Downton argued during a 2 1/2-hour hearing that Pavia wants “the narrowest injunction possible” to keep his time in junior college from counting against his NCAA Division I eligibility using older guidelines. Their best hope is for a quick ruling by Monday. “I get the sense from him today that he’s looking at the date the portal closes and trying to give enough time to react before it closes,” Downton said of the judge’s timing after the hearing. Campbell peppered attorneys with questions. The judge noted prep schools play against junior colleges, including Pavia’s, without starting their NCAA eligibility clock. He also noted junior colleges don’t allow redshirt seasons. The judge also said the NCAA has changed its rules over the past 50 years, including allowing freshmen to play and later added the redshirt rule. Campbell sounded surprised when told a player who redshirted this season could play a total of nine games if on the team that wins the College Football Playoff. Pavia filed Nov. 8 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee in Nashville. His request for a temporary restraining order was denied giving him two more seasons of eligibility allowing a redshirt season “to avoid additional harm.” His lawsuit also asks that Vanderbilt, or any other college, not be punished for complying with orders from the court. Pavia filed a declaration Monday that he is applying to the masters’ program for legal studies at Vanderbilt starting in January if he is granted the preliminary injunction. Attorneys Tamarra Matthews Johnson and Max Warren argued for the NCAA that Pavia had done exactly what the organization wants athletes to do earning a bachelor’s degree at New Mexico State before being a graduate transfer to Vanderbilt earlier this year. They also argued Pavia easily can seek another degree without playing football. Warren disputed the idea of irreparable damages noting Pavia can receive economic damages at trial without an injunction. Warren also questioned the lawsuit’s timing with Pavia quoted that this was his last year of college football. “His best opportunity to earn a living is playing college football ...,” Downton said in court. “This is his chance.” Pavia did not get an offer from a Football Bowl Subdivision school coming out of Volcano Vista High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He went to New Mexico Military Institute in 2020 and led the junior college to the 2021 national championship. He went to New Mexico State in 2022 and won 10 games in 2023. The Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year then followed his head coach, Jerry Kill, and offensive coordinator Tim Beck to Vanderbilt this offseason. Matthews Johnson argued that Vanderbilt simply will find another quarterback. Vanderbilt hasn’t had many quarterbacks like Pavia who had a handful of his teammates sitting behind him in court. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Pavia is a big reason why Vanderbilt is 6-6 and bowl eligible for the first time since 2018. He led the Commodores to their best start in decades, ranked twice in the AP Top 25 and posted their biggest win ever beating then-No. 1 Alabama. That snapped a 60-game winless skid over over AP top-5 teams. Wednesday’s hearing coincided with the early signing period. Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea supported his quarterback’s initial filing and has talked of how much he has meant to the Commodores. That didn’t stop Vanderbilt from signing a quarterback Wednesday out of an Illinois high school in Jack Elliott. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.

“Emilia Pérez”, la película escrita y dirigida por el francés Jacques Audiard ha provocado reacciones extremas y con mucha razón. Por un lado, están los que la bautizan como un musical “audaz” sobre la historia de un renacimiento o una película “visionaria” llena de actuaciones célebres, hasta un filme que presenta la mirada transexual en el cine. Se alaba sobre todo, que tenga a tres latinas como protagonistas. Y por el otro lado, están los que destacan el detalle más importante que está siendo ignorado: que su problema principal es que a pesar de que su historia se desarrolla en México, con una trama y personajes mexicanos, de mexicana no tiene casi nada. “Emilia Pérez” se estrenó el 18 de mayo de 2024 en la 77a edición del Festival de Cannes y fue seleccionada para competir por la Palma de Oro en su sección de competencia principal. En dicho festival ganó el Premio del Jurado y su elenco femenino ganó colectivamente el premio a Mejor Actriz. Siendo mexicana, estaba intrigada por “Emilia Pérez”, su representación y sus alcances. Al estar ya disponible en la plataforma Netflix eso fue sencillo. Confieso que lo hice por inercia, al leer los titulares de que según algunos críticos —sobre todo estadounidenses anglosajones y españoles— era una obra maestra, pero también lo hice motivada un tanto por la curiosidad de ver qué tanto podía hacer por una narrativa mexicana un realizador francés. La vi antes que se anunciaran las nominaciones a la 82a edición de los Globos de Oro, con las cuales arrasó. Tiene diez nominaciones, entre ellas Mejor Película Musical o Comedia, Mejor Película de Habla no Inglesa, Mejor Actriz en una Mejor Película Musical o Comedia —para Karla Sofía Gazcón—, Mejor Actriz de Reparto —en la que están Zoe Saldaña y Selena Gómez—, Mejor Director y Mejor Guión. “Emilia Pérez” no es la primera vez, ni será la última, que un extranjero cuente su visión, real o imaginada, de lo que es o cree que es México. Esto es algo recurrente, donde parece que la cultura se “eleva” o es “salvada” cuando es vista a través de los ojos de otros. Históricamente, el director ruso Serguéi Eisenstein lo hizo en su filme no terminado, “¡Viva México!” (1930), o el mismo Luis Buñuel en “Los Olvidados” (1950) —que también tuvo críticas y cuya versión original fue censurada y se tuvo que grabar un final alternativo— ya se habían atrevido a presentar su visión de México; en sus casos, también hubo controversia, pero con buenos resultados. Esto porque tanto Eisenstein como Buñuel lo hicieron con conocimiento de causa del México de la época en que vivieron en el país, no en lo que inventaron a la distancia. En sí, de entrada, la trama e historia de “Emilia Pérez” no es para nada mala, todo lo contrario, pero es su tratamiento y la apropiación cultural hecha tan mal. Se centra en la historia de Rita Mora Castro, interpretada por la actriz dominicana Zoé Saldaña, quien un día recibe una oferta inesperada: ayudar a Juan “Manitas” del Monte ( interpretado por la actriz española Karla Sofía Gazcón), un temido jefe de un cártel mexicano a retirarse de su negocio y desaparecer para siempre, convirtiéndose en la mujer que él siempre ha soñado ser haciéndose llamar Emilia Pérez. Si bien, como hombre “Manitas” es un narco verdugo, como mujer Emilia se vuelve la santa patrona y salvadora de los desaparecidos, llegando casi al nivel de una santa, virgen y mártir, con claros rasgos europeos, como las imágenes de todos los santos usadas en el adoctrinamiento. Pero lo que sí es muy extraño es el tratamiento de la historia de “Emilia Pérez” que, pese a desarrollarse en México y con personajes supuestamente mexicanos, no representa bien la cultura y sí presenta una visión equivocada de México y su realidad. Se podrá argumentar que un buen director y un buen actor pueden realizar y actuar lo que se les dé la gana, que es parte del oficio, pero eso aplica a cuando hay un conocimiento de causa y cuidando la autenticidad de la historia. Tampoco es nada nuevo que un español interprete a un personaje mexicano, sobre todo en Hollywood. Por citar un ejemplo, Antonio Banderas lo hizo varias veces, aún cuando hay actores de origen mexicano. Esto en filmes mexicanos también ha pasado, como fue en su momento la actuación del actor español Óscar Jaenada en 2014 en la película semi biográfica sobre “el mimo de México”, Mario Moreno “Cantinflas”. Aunque actoralmente fue una interpretación que se basó en el parecido físico y el actor de alguna manera dio la talla, a la distancia de una década, puedo decir que su origen ocasionó que la representación de un icono mexicano no tuviera ni diera las referencias culturales de Cantinflas por ser un actor español ya que, efectivamente, pese a todo, es apropiación cultural. Como diría el mismo Cantinflas: ahí está el detalle. Es por eso que “Emilia Pérez” no hace nada por México; sólo se apropia de la cultura y de la identidad en tiempos que hablamos y reforzamos que la identidad y la autenticidad de los contenidos es lo más importante, una conversación sobre todo necesaria en Estados Unidos. Sobre todo en Hollywood, donde los latinos seguimos siendo representados desde una visión eurocentrista que niega la raíz de los pueblos originarios con su color de piel más “café”, con los rasgos nativos y, en algunos casos, afrolatinos, esos que han prevalecido a través de los siglos y donde seguimos siendo retratados como un estereotipo. Se habla mucho de la importancia de “verse” en los contenidos, pero no en cómo somos retratados y por quién. Eso también importa y mucho. Decir que esta película es protagonizada por tres actrices latinas no es lo correcto. Gascón es española, Saldaña dominicana y Gómez de raíces mexicanas. Usar los términos en forma intercambiable no es correcto. “Hispano” se refiere a una persona nacida en un país donde se habla español o que tiene ancestros hispanos y “latino” a una persona nacida en Latinoamérica o que tiene ancestros latinoamericano y también hace eco a las raíces de los pueblos originarios de América. Sin embargo, los brasileños no pueden identificarse como “latinos” porque su idioma es el portugués y los españoles son hispanos, pero no latinos. En su contexto más amplio, el término “hispano” sigue dando una representación que no va con la myor parte de la identidad mexicana y latina. Si bien somos mestizos por aquello de la conquista, la identidad real tiene más de los pueblos originarios que de los españoles y aunque nuestros apellidos no sean “nativos”, nuestros rasgos y nuestro origen lo son mayoritariamente dejando a un lado mitos como eso de que en la conquista “le mejoraron la raza” a los pueblos originarios. En el caso de la protagonista de “Emilia Pérez” el origen y aspecto de la actriz, cae en el sistema de castas que en México fue impuesto desde el tiempo de la Conquista para dar dominio al “conquistador”, porque “Emilia” no es lo que llamamos en México una “güera de rancho”: es una “tía” muy europea. Recientemente el que estuvo en el foco de la crítica fue el actor, comediante y director mexicano Eugenio Derbez por criticar el desempeño actoral de la actriz y cantante de origen mexicoestadounidense Selena Gómez , en especial por su acento al hablar español. Su “osadía” le valió incluso perder seguidores en redes sociales. Aunque por un lado, su acento es lo único que puede considerarse auténtico de este filme, es el acento “pocho” de Selena interpretando a Jessi Del Monte, la mujer del “Manitas” y madre de sus hijos, que no es preciso en ese contexto. Jessi es como Selena, nacida y criada en Estados Unidos, pero aún así, su interpretación no es natural. Suena tan falso como forzado. Entonces ¿cuáles son los “peros” que se le ponen a Emilia Pérez? Empezaré por lo básico: sus diálogos en un español para nada mexicano. ¿Quién los tradujo? ¿Acaso la inteligencia artificial o Google translate? No tiene nada de malo usar las herramientas de traducción, agilizan el trabajo. Pero lo que se pasó por alto fue la edición de alguien que hablara el español mexicano, con sus propias palabras y diálogos. Seguimos con el casting. Si bien se aplaude la actuación de Carla Sofía Gascón, al ser ella española no da la mexicanidad necesaria del personaje. En las escenas de “Emilia Pérez”, a Gascón a la hora de hablar se le escapa el seseo, que es la característica fonético-fonológica propia de España y que no se calcó en México durante los años que fue colonia. También está el acento de Zoé Saldaña que, aunque su personaje aclara en una escena que es originaria de República Dominicana y se mudó a Veracruz siendo niña, ya en la edad adulta y madura en la que se encuentra hubiera perdido el acento. También el acento de Selena Gómez. En el caso del idioma, si bien el español no es igual, varía del país y región en el que se habla. Lo que hablamos y la manera en la que cada país lo habla se le denomina de manera un tanto despectiva, “dialecto”, pero refleja una cultura, una historia, un modo de vida. El español que se habla en “Emilia Pérez” no llega ni al supuesto español neutro. Y no olvidemos que por ser una historia supuestamente mexicana, debería notarse que en “Emilia Pérez” se habla mexicano y no es el caso. A pesar de que es muy importante, lo de los acentos no es lo más grave de “Emilia Pérez”. Lo más peligroso y problemático es su romantización de un México inventado y que maneja temas tan delicados como el narcotráfico y los desaparecidos. Que otros se dediquen a contar nuestras historias sin ni siquiera tomarse el tiempo para estudiarlas y representarlas como se debe, por simple respeto, es demasiado problemático. Si el realizador de “Emilia Pérez” se hubiera dedicado a investigar más sobre el idioma mexicano, los usos, costumbres del país y sobre todo, no abordar tan a la ligera temas que son problemáticos para México, otro gallo le cantaría. Y traer a tema a “Emilia Pérez” en Estados Unidos, importa y mucho. Los mexicanos somos la mayoría del tan llamado “mercado hispano” ya que somos más de 37 millones de los 50 que integran ese mercado, según las cifras del Pew Center . Por lo tanto, el mercado es más latino. Sin embargo, aunque a Estados Unidos y Hollywood les encanta nuestra cultura y no se diga nuestra comida, parece que no les gusta cuando nuestras historias y nuestras tradiciones son presentadas o representadas por nosotros. En sí, les gusta México, pero no que venga con mexicanos. Posiblemente “Emilia Pérez” gane más premios, pero a costa de la apropiación cultural y de representar una vez más, mal a México y a la identidad mexicana. Debemos aprender de la diferencia de nuestras culturas, esas que nos hacen quienes somos y aprender del otro, no querer imponernos. Somos capaces de contar nuestras historias, con todos sus matices e identidades y la historia de “Emilia Pérez” no es mexicana ni latina ni las representa, aunque tenga de protagonistas a una española y dos latinas.In an impressive display of innovation, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed new technology to protect composite materials from lightning strikes, a common menace to wind turbines and aircraft. Leading the charge is Vipin Kumar, an ORNL researcher who has been instrumental in devising multiple technologies that significantly mitigate lightning damage to turbines and airplanes. Collaborating closely with his team, Kumar has reached a notable milestone by creating an entire 6.5-foot turbine blade tip, incorporating novel materials that remained unscathed after rigorous simulated lightning tests at Mississippi State University's specialized lab, according to Oak Ridge National Laboratory . Interestingly, while high current tests proved destructive, the novel materials and coatings demonstrate a promising path for blade protection. Kumar and his team face a particular challenge: the lack of comprehensive data regarding the extent of lightning-related issues within the wind industry. Despite this, lightning strikes pose a significant source of blade-related downtime and repair expenses. Kumar emphasized the importance of resilience in wind energy, stating, "We know wind energy is a reliable source of electricity that supports energy security, but I believe anything we can do to make it more resilient and reliable is important," as he told Oak Ridge National Laboratory . One of the remarkable features of the project is the use of a low-cost carbon fiber developed at ORNL, which has allowed for the construction of a blade tip that can withstand lightning impact. Tested using industry-standard methods, the hybrid carbon fiber composite blade tip reduces the blade's weight by an impressive 41%. It enables the manufacture of longer blades that can generate more electricity. As a result, the demand for carbon fiber within the wind industry may rise, with ORNL's economic formula potentially allowing it to compete within the market, as researcher Subhabrata Saha led the creation of the blade tip. Kumar elucidated the benefits of lighter and larger blades, "That means we can make bigger blades of the same weight that generate more electricity," he remarked in a statement obtained by Oak Ridge National Laboratory . Moreover, the innovation's sustainability aspect has not gone unnoticed, with the new blade tip earning an award for "innovation in green composites design." In discussing the future of the technology, Kumar revealed a comprehensive recycling plan for the blade, aiming to use both the carbon fiber and the resin in 3D printing applications within the ORNL facility. Kumar's approach has broadened beyond just manufacturing practices; he has also vetted the economic viability of his work by engaging with DOE's 2024 Energy I-Corps program. Engaging industry professionals, he has gathered insights into the challenges faced by turbine manufacturers and operators, shaping his innovations to suit market needs. Among the potential solutions, a nanofiller coating has garnered significant interest from these professionals due to its protective qualities and ease of application. Looking ahead, Kumar is discussing field-testing his nanofiller coating at an actual wind farm, where its performance against lightning strikes can be monitored longitudinally. Acknowledging the hefty repair costs ranging from tens of thousands up to $1 million per blade, he remains confident in the transformative potential of his research. When operators and insurance companies often hesitate to cover lightning-related damages, Kumar stays focused on solutions, asserting, according to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory , "It’s an act of engineering."Chewy ( CHWY -7.17% ) stock took another hit on Thursday, a day after getting dinged by investors reacting to the company's third-quarter earnings report. While there was no direct news of note from the company, one analyst tracking its shares downgraded his recommendation. The result was that Chewy's share price fell by 6% across the trading session, a notably steeper decline than the S&P 500 index's 0.2% drop. Rover has not earned a treat Well before market open that day, Exane BNP Paribas' Chris Bottiglieri changed his recommendation on Chewy. It's now a neutral, according to him, where previously he felt it was worthy of an outperform (i.e., buy). His price target currently stands at $30 per share. It wasn't immediately clear why Bottiglieri made the adjustment, although it hardly seems coincidental that it almost immediately followed that earnings announcement . Although the pet care company managed to grow its revenue and flip to a bottom-line profit, its net income figure came in under the consensus analyst estimate. It has to be said that, while no pundits upgraded their Chewy recommendations Thursday, several bumped their price targets higher. Among these raisers were analysts from TD Cowen, Guggenheim, and Goldman Sachs ; however these raises were relatively modest. Better days ahead? These days, investors expect retail stocks to post robust growth figures -- often, it isn't sufficient if they show only single-digit improvements -- and Chewy's top-line improvement was 5% year over year. It isn't necessarily fair that they're punished in this way, and I think Chewy deserves better -- not least because management is forecasting a much better growth figure (13%) for its current quarter.

History has been kind to Jimmy Carter in a way the present never was during his one term as US president. His four years were dogged by economic "stagflation", which began during the term of his predecessor Richard Nixon, and America's stumbles on foreign policy. The surprise 1980 landslide loss to Ronald Reagan was deemed a referendum on Carter's leadership. Voters had daily reminders that their commander in chief was unable to free the dozens of Americans held captive in an embassy in the Iranian capital, Tehran. The enduring myth that Carter failed to act was strengthened by the fact the release of the hostages came after his departure from the White House. But when the crisis began 444 days earlier, no-one could have anticipated how long it would last, and how it would shape American politics. The fall of the Shah of Iran The seeds of the hostage crisis were planted in the chaos of Iran's Islamic Revolution. Iran and the United States had been on friendly terms while Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was the Shah of Iran — the country's royal ruler. The Shah came to the throne in Tehran during World War II and his power in the oil-rich country was shored up in the 1950s after the US and UK backed a coup to depose the country's democratically elected prime minister. Carter hosted a state dinner for the Shah and his wife at the White House in November 1977 and, in turn, the Shah entertained Carter in Tehran on New Year's Day in 1978. But over the ensuing year, the Shah faced violent unrest at home as religious leader Ayatollah Khomeini returned from exile to overthrow the autocrat. The Shah fled to Egypt on January 16, 1979, and a month later the government collapsed. In October, the Shah arrived in New York to undergo surgery, angering Khomeini and his supporters, who demanded he be returned to stand trial. Khomeini called for a "purge" of "American-loving rotten brains", and encouraged activist students to "expand their attacks" against the US and Israel, America's major ally in the Middle East. The 52 hostages On November 4, 1979, hundreds of Iranian students breached the gates of the US embassy in Tehran. They quickly occupied the compound. Some had intended a peaceful sit-in, but the situation deteriorated rapidly. The armed mob took 66 Americans hostage. Consular employee Robert C Ode, who at 65 was the oldest person taken captive, recalled in his diary that the students tied his hands behind his back so tightly with nylon cord that it cut off the circulation. I strongly protested the violation of my diplomatic immunity, but these protests were ignored. Some students attempted to talk with us, stating how they didn't hate Americans — only our US government, President Carter, etc. We were not permitted to talk to our fellow hostages and from then on our hands were tied day and night and only removed while we were eating or had to go to the bathroom. Six American diplomats were able to avoid capture and spent three months hiding in the Canadian and Swedish embassies — their rescue would later be the plot of the 2012 movie Argo . About the same time as the US embassy was occupied, the British embassy was also stormed by Iranian students, but they left after several hours. Khomeini condoned the occupation of the embassies, threatening to do "whatever is necessary" to bring the Shah back for trial and force Britain to hand over exiled prime minister Shapour Bakhtiar. Two weeks later, on Khomeini's orders, the demonstrators freed five women and eight black men. Non-American hostages were also freed. Another American hostage was released on July 11, 1980 due to illness. The remaining 52 were moved around the compound constantly, handcuffed, beaten, tortured and forced to undergo mock executions at gunpoint. Operation Eagle Claw ends in disaster Carter took significant steps to sanction Iran in the first few months of the hostage crisis. He froze Iranian assets, stopped importing oil from Iran and expelled 183 Iranian diplomats from the US. Fifty thousand Iranian students in America were also told to report to the nearest immigration office and warned they would be deported if they were found to be in violation of the terms of their visas. But the militants didn't relent, and threatened to burn the embassy and kill the hostages if the US attempted any military action against Iran. Carter's actions worked in Khomeini's favour as he sought to free Iran from America's control and use his supreme powers to roll out Islamic doctrine. At 1am on April 25, 1980, the White House revealed it had attempted a military operation to rescue the hostages, known as Operation Eagle Claw. But the operation had failed: eight US servicemen were dead and several others injured. The rescuers got nowhere near the embassy — the mission was aborted when three of the eight helicopters suffered various equipment failures. As they withdrew from the rendezvous point in the desert, one of the helicopters collided with a transport plane, killing crew on both aircraft. Their bodies were taken to the embassy in Tehran, where they were put on display during a press conference. Iran arranged for them to be returned to the US the following month. A post-White House legacy Carter took full responsibility for the failed rescue attempt. With the hostages' lives at stake, he couldn't risk another military operation in Iran, and had to walk the slow diplomatic path to secure their freedom. Stephen Loosley from the United States Studies Centre at Sydney University says news coverage of the crisis was extensive for a time when media didn't run 24/7. "Both [US news anchors] Ted Koppel and Walter Cronkite would keep a laser-like focus on the hostage crisis," Mr Loosley says. "They'd keep the number of hostages up on the screen every night, and the number of days that the hostages had been incarcerated. "Americans never really lost sight of the fact that their people were imprisoned in a very hostile environment in Tehran." On July 27, 1980, the Shah died in a Cairo military hospital. The return of his wealth to Iran became a key part of the agreement to free the hostages, known as the Algiers Accords. The accords were signed on January 19, 1981, the day before Carter was due to leave the White House. He'd lost the November 1980 election to Republican candidate Ronald Reagan, a former Hollywood actor and governor of California. The hostages were meant to be released while Carter was still president, but a delay meant they were freed in the first few hours of Reagan's administration on January 20. "The Iranians refused to give Carter the satisfaction of saying the hostages were released on his watch," Mr Loosley says. "Ronald Reagan is viewed as the president who secured the release of the hostages, because of the timing." In the next decade, Reagan would be credited with playing a major role in ending the Cold War, while Carter faded into relative obscurity Carter described the Iran hostage crisis as "the most difficult period of my life". The hostages themselves were traumatised by the ordeal and spent more than 30 years fighting for compensation, which was granted in 2015. Mr Loosley says Americans look more favourably on what Carter did after his time in the White House. The Carter Center, a not-for-profit set up by Carter and his wife Rosalynn in 1982, worked to improve human rights and health worldwide. One of its greatest achievements was the near-eradication of Guinea worm disease, caused by a water-borne parasite. The Carters also built homes with social housing organisation charity Habitat for Humanity. "He's looked upon with a fair amount of affection and respect," Mr Loosley said. "Unfortunately his presidency is seen as somewhat of a low point in in the post-war period because of the Iran hostage crisis." ABCGlobal AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance Market Set For 15.5% Growth, Reaching $1.56 Billion By 2028'Good Day New York' co-host Rosanna Scotto discusses New York's sanctuary city status and migrant crime on 'Special Report.' In response to the Biden administration loosening key immigration restrictions , a spokesperson for New York City Mayor Eric Adams sounded off on the federal government, saying that New Yorkers and Americans are "fed up with our broken immigration system." The Biden Department of Homeland Security is launching an ICE Portal app in December that will allow migrants to skip their in-person check-ins at an ICE office and instead check in with immigration officials via an app on a phone or computer. The app reportedly has severe glitching issues and does not track a migrant's location if he or she is using an Android phone or laptop. Further, the app does not check migrants for past arrests or outstanding warrants and allows them to opt out of or contest government orders to undergo electronic tracking. This comes after the Biden administration set the record for the highest number of illegal migrants entering the country in a single year in 2023, with 3.2 million entries. This surpassed the previous record of 2.7 million set the year before. ‘100% ON BOARD': BORDER STATE OFFERS TRUMP MASSIVE PLOT OF LAND TO AID MASS DEPORTATION OPERATION A U.S. Customs and Border Protection border patrol agent talks to people on the Mexican side of the border wall at Border Field State Park in San Diego on Nov. 28, 2018. (Reuters/Chris Wattie) Adams has said that New York, which has seen over 220,000 migrants arrive in the city since spring 2022, has been "devastated" by the surge of migrants . Kayla Altus, a spokesperson for Adams, told Fox News Digital that "cities should not have to carry the cost and burden of a national problem." "For decades, Washington has endlessly talked about comprehensive reform, but delivered nothing of substance," she said. "This election, the American people sent a resounding message: they are fed up with our broken immigration system." 1 IN 10 INMATES IN TEXAS' HARRIS COUNTY JAIL WANTED BY ICE, RECORDS SHOW An asylum seeker shows his documents to Army soldiers at the entrance of the historic Roosevelt Hotel, converted into a city-run shelter for newly arrived migrant families in New York City, on Sept. 27, 2023.

"Democrats and Republicans must come together to pass meaningful immigration reform for the first time in four decades," she said. "That is what’s best for the American people, as well as the immigrants who come here, seeking the opportunity to build a better life and have a shot at the American Dream." In addition to the presidency, Republicans retained control of the House of Representatives and gained a majority in the Senate in the election earlier this month.

He said that although the city currently has "adequate" resources for everyday legal crossings, "no community is equipped enough to handle unnatural surges." Trevino noted that the city is not equipped for a surge in migrant children as Laredo "does not have a pediatric intensive care unit." The Rio Grande is seen from Laredo, Texas, on Sept. 19, 2020.

Cardenas) Steven Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, told Fox News Digital that other sanctuary cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and Denver are also struggling with the fiscal costs of the migrant surge. He said that in many instances, illegal migrants are even crowding out resources meant for citizens. Camarota pointed to testimony he gave to the House Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs in September, in which he listed the fiscal costs to individual sanctuary cities: $12 billion in New York over the next three years on housing, food, health care and other services for recently arrived illegal immigrants, $361 million in Chicago and $36.4 million in Washington, D.C., in 2023, and $180 million in Denver in 2024. "The real policy that would save the cities’ money is robust enforcement that both increased removals, made people go home, and encourage people to go home on their own," he said. "If you're increasing removals and you've increased just normal outmigration, you could really cut into these numbers and start to save some real money." Laken Riley, a nursing student at the University of Georgia, was found dead near a lake on campus on Feb. 22. An illegal immigrant was convicted of her murder this week.

"Only ICE knows for sure how often someone who's released by a sanctuary has been subsequently arrested for another crime," she said. "There's a human cost to the sanctuary policies and there is no reasonable law enforcement or public safety or even community trust justification for having this policy. It is political and it has to stop." Peter Pinedo is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
