Costa Rica's top newspaper says US revoked visas of its executives, prompting press freedom concerns
One of Costa Rica’s leading media outlets says that the United States has revoked the tourist visas of several executives on its board. In a statement that ran as the newspaper’s front page on Sunday, the board of directors at La Nación said that the affected members first learned they had been stripped of their U.S. visas from reports in news outlets aligned with Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves, a close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump. The paper said that the U.S. gave no reason for the visa revocations.

For millions of foreign workers in the Mideast, the Iran war has made life even more precarious. At least 28 were killed in missile and drone attacks before a fragile ceasefire took effect in early April. Now they face an even sharper version of a long-standing dilemma: Keep working in the Gulf, where wages are much higher, hoping that the truce endures, or return to already poor countries where prices have soared because of the conflict.

A small boat carrying migrants trying to cross the English Channel has run aground on a beach in northern France, leaving two dead and 16 injured. Authorities said Sunday the vessel set out overnight from Hardelot beach but the engine failed, causing it to drift. A French maritime vessel rescued 17 people, while the boat ran aground with 65 others on board. Two women were found dead, likely from suffocation. This marks the third deadly incident involving migrants crossing to the U.K. in just over a month. An investigation is underway.

Federal judges around the country have raised alarms in recent months about the Trump administration’s failure to follow their orders in individual immigration cases. An Associated Press review of court records shows Trump officials have also racked up an extraordinary record of defiance in a much broader set of lawsuits dating back to the first days of President Donald Trump’s second term. Legal experts say the White House's treatment of court orders is damaging the constitutional system of checks and balances. The White House says lower court judges are issuing unlawful decisions.

A federal judge in New York is protecting about 3,000 refugees from Yemen from being forced to leave the United States, saying the Temporary Protected Status that was repeatedly granted to them should be extended again. Judge Dale E. Ho in a written opinion Friday said those granted the status are ordinary, law-abiding people who the U.S. government had determined could face threats to their safety if they were returned to a country facing an ongoing armed conflict. He noted other instances in which courts have recently permitted those who have fled other countries under various circumstances to stay in the United States.
