A federal judge in San Francisco on Friday stopped Secretary of State Marco Rubio from proceeding with plans to downsize the State Department, saying that it was prohibited behavior under an injunction she issued last month. U.S. District Judge Susan Illston barred the Republican administration from carrying out much of its plans to reorganize and slash departments while she hears a legal challenge brought by labor unions and others. She said that President Donald Trump had failed to seek Congressional cooperation to do so when he ordered government-wide cuts. But, in late May, the State Department notified Congress of an…

By CARLOS RODRIGUEZ MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum urged U.S. officials on Friday not to target individuals attending a Gold Cup soccer match in Los Angeles between the Mexican national team and the Dominican Republic. Dozens of workers have been detained by federal immigration authorities in a series of raids in LA’s fashion district and at Home Depot parking lots in Southern California. More than 100 people have been detained. “We don’t believe that there will be any raids if there’s a soccer game,” Sheinbaum said in a news conference. “We hope there won’t be any. We…

By CATHY BUSSEWITZ NEW YORK (AP) — The first thing Alison C. Jones does when she wakes up is to name three things she’s grateful for. It can be as simple as the breeze from a fan or as meaningful as the way a friend showed up for her emotionally. Jones, an organizational development consultant, said the daily practice has helped her through hardships and the anxiety and vulnerability of starting her own business as a single mom. “When you practice gratitude, you train your brain to always look for the positive in anything. It just completely shifts everything you’re…

By RONALD BLUM NEW YORK (AP) — Metropolitan Opera season attendance dropped slightly following the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown that coincided with a decrease in tourists to New York. The Met sold 72% of capacity, matching 2023-24 and down from its 75% projection. “We were on track to continue to improve,” Met general manager Peter Gelb said Friday. “We were disappointed by the sales in the last two months of the season — our projections were much higher and I attribute the fact that we didn’t achieve our sales goals to a significant drop in tourism.” New York City Tourism…

BALTIMORE — Christian Moore’s first full professional season has already been educational. The Angels’ 2024 first-round draft pick got off to a rough start in Double-A, and then gradually began picking up his performance, including a torrid start to his time in Triple-A. As he prepared for his major league debut after 79 minor-league games, Moore said he’s learned from the failure early in the season. “I think when you play this game every day, you figure out what type of player you are, figure out what type of person you are,” Moore said before hitting ninth in his major…

Alan Vargas, a 24-year-old stockroom worker in Corona, says there is a saying in the immigrant community, “sin papales, sin miedo”: no papers, no fear. But the ICE raids in Southern California have challenged that mantra. Not only have wanted criminals who are in the U.S. illegally been arrested and deported, but undocumented, though otherwise law-abiding, workers have been targeted as well by masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in unmarked vans. Vargas said he is one of the few in his immediate and extended family with legal status, and the family is concerned what the federal government will do…
