From deportation to court, key events in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's fight with the Trump administration
SUMMARY: Kilmar Abrego Garcia entered the news in March 2025 after he was deported to El Salvador despite a court ruling that should have prevented it. His complicated legal fight since then has galvanized both sides of the debate over President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. There is a civil case in Maryland, where he is challenging Homeland Security’s attempts to deport him again. There is also a criminal case in Tennessee, where the government accuses him of human smuggling. Finally there is a petition in immigration court, where he hopes to pursue an asylum claim.

Judge to rule on whether to release Kilmar Abrego Garcia from immigration custody
SUMMARY: A federal judge in Maryland says she will rule as soon as possible on whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia can be released from immigration custody. In a court hearing on Thursday, his attorneys noted that there is no final order of removal in his immigration records. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis seemed to find that oversight significant. Abrego Garcia’s mistaken deportation to El Salvador has galvanized both sides of the debate over President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Since his return to the United States, the government has been seeking to deport him to a series of African countries. His attorneys claim the government is illegally using the immigration system to punish him.

Justice Department is examining handling of mortgage fraud investigation into Sen. Adam Schiff
SUMMARY: The Justice Department is examining the handling of the mortgage fraud investigation into Sen. Adam Schiff. That's according to a document reviewed by The Associated Press. Authorities are scrutinizing the potential involvement of people who claimed to be acting at the behest or direction of two Trump administration officials who've pushed the probe of the California Democrat. Officials involved in the Schiff investigation in Maryland have interviewed a Republican congressional candidate who has promoted the mortgage fraud allegations against Schiff. The development is likely to bring fresh scrutiny to the already criticized efforts by the two administration officials, Bill Pulte and Ed Martin, to investigate Trump political foes for mortgage fraud.

Woman who worked for congressman accused of faking politically motivated attack
SUMMARY: A former staffer for a New Jersey congressman who told authorities she had been attacked and lacerated by three men while walking in a nature preserve this summer is now facing charges that she filed a false report. The 26-year-old woman, who worked for Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew, and a friend had reported she was attacked July 23 at a nature preserve in Egg Harbor Township. Federal prosecutors say the pair reported that the attackers had a gun, knew the woman’s name and that she worked for Van Drew. But they allege that further investigation determined she had paid a body-modification artist to make the various lacerations. An attorney for the woman noted she is “presumed innocent” under the law.

Fugees rapper Pras Michel sentenced to 14 years in prison over illegal donations to Obama campaign
SUMMARY: Grammy-winning rapper Prakazrel “Pras” Michel of the Fugees has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for a case in which he was convicted of illegally funneling millions of dollars in foreign contributions to former President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign. Michel declined to make a statement before U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced him on Thursday. Justice Department prosecutors said federal sentencing guidelines recommended a life sentence for Michel. His attorneys requested a three-year prison sentence. In April 2023, a jury convicted Michel of 10 counts. The trial included testimony from actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

NJ high court rules shaken baby syndrome testimony unreliable and inadmissible in child abuse cases
SUMMARY: New Jersey’s highest court has ruled that expert testimony about shaken baby syndrome is scientifically unreliable and inadmissible in two upcoming trials. The New Jersey Supreme Court found in its Thursday decision that a diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome is not generally accepted within the “biomechanical community” and is therefore not “sufficiently reliable” for admission at the trials. But Justice Rachel Wainer Apter said in a strongly worded dissent that the other justices put more weight on the views of individual biomechanical engineers over the “consensus perspective of every major medical society in the world.”

Trump administration threatens to withhold $75M from Pennsylvania over immigrant truck drivers
SUMMARY: The Trump administration has threatened to withhold nearly $75 million in funding if Pennsylvania does not immediately revoke what the administration claims are illegally issued commercial driver’s licenses to immigrants. The move on Thursday by U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to target Pennsylvania follows similar action against California. Duffy has made it a priority to scrutinize how the licenses are issued since August, when a tractor-trailer driver not authorized to be in the U.S. made an illegal U-turn and caused a crash in Florida that killed three people. That incident thrust the issue into the public’s consciousness.

Injury-riddled Commanders look for something to salvage at 3-8 entering bye week
SUMMARY: That Jayden Daniels might regress after his AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year breakout should surprise no one. That his Washington Commanders might take a step back after going 12-5 and reaching their first NFC title game in decades isn’t shocking, either. What was harder to predict is that Daniels would miss nearly half of Washington’s games, that he would be just one of several starters lost to injuries and that a six-game losing streak would drop coach Dan Quinn’s team to 3-8 heading into their bye week. The Commanders return on Nov. 30 against the visiting Denver Broncos.

Baltimore's Henry can pass 4 Hall of Famers on the career rushing list when he faces the Jets
SUMMARY: If Baltimore's Derrick Henry rushes for 83 yards this weekend against the New York Jets, he’d move from 15th to 11th on the NFL’s career list. In doing so, he'd pass four Hall of Famers: Jim Brown, Marshall Faulk, Edgerrin James and Marcus Allen. Although Henry has remained a powerful option, particularly in the fourth quarter as opponents start to wear down, the Ravens haven’t been able to control games with their running attack as often this season. Teams have been able to force Baltimore to settle for field goals in the red zone. The question is whether New York’s defense can have success there too.

Jets' Jermaine Johnson's sweet strategy to sack Ravens' Lamar Jackson: No sugary drinks
SUMMARY: Jermaine Johnson revealed his unique strategy for more sacks this season. The New York Jets edge rusher is avoiding sugary drinks as he prepares to face Lamar Jackson in Baltimore on Sunday. Johnson says he's been doing extra running and cutting out sugar to shed any weight that might slow him down. He believes this could help him turn pressures into sacks. Johnson has three sacks and five quarterback hits this season after returning from a torn Achilles tendon. He aims to add more against Jackson, who he helped take down for his first NFL sack in 2022. Johnson says he'd like to get one or two more against him Sunday.

Tyrod Taylor starts for the Jets against Baltimore -- nearly 15 years after the Ravens drafted him
SUMMARY: Tyrod Taylor is 36 and in his 15th NFL season. Now he's taking over at quarterback for the Jets after New York decided to bench Justin Fields. It’s a full-circle moment for Taylor, who faces Baltimore this weekend. He was actually drafted by the Ravens in the sixth round back in 2011. He’s managed to carve out a lengthy career, although he hasn’t been a regular starter since 2017 when he was with Buffalo. Taylor mainly served as Joe Flacco’s backup for four seasons with Baltimore and played sparingly before going to Buffalo and becoming a starter. Since leaving the Bills, he has appeared in NFL games for the Browns, Chargers, Texans, Giants and Jets.

With Rodgers' status uncertain, Steelers meet Bears in matchup of division leaders
SUMMARY: The Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears meet in a matchup of division leaders. Pittsburgh has won two of three to keep its tenuous grip on the AFC North lead over Baltimore. But it's not clear who will be at quarterback for the Steelers. Aaron Rodgers is dealing with a broken left wrist, putting the chances of the four-time MVP facing a team he has dominated throughout his career in jeopardy. Mason Rudolph will start if Rodgers can’t go. The NFC North-leading Bears have won seven of eight, though they haven't made it easy on themselves. Chicago has five wins this season after trailing in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter, including the past three games.

76ers' hard-working Tyrese Maxey joins exclusive fraternity with 54-point, nine-assist performance
SUMMARY: Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey arguably is the NBA’s hardest-working player this season. His heavy workload sure isn’t hindering his production so far. Maxey already was averaging an NBA-leading 40.3 minutes per game this season before he collected a career-high 54 points and nine assists over 46 ½ minutes in a 123-114 overtime victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. Maxey and Wilt Chamberlain are the only 76ers ever to have at least 50 points and nine assists in a single game.
