Donald Trump
Appeals court throws out Trump's $500m civil fraud penalty
NEW YORK — An appeals court has thrown out a $500m (£372m) penalty that US President Donald Trump was ordered to pay in a New York civil fraud trial last year.Judge Arthur Engoron had ordered Trump to pay the fee for massively inflating the value of the Trump Organization's properties in order to secure favourable loans.In the lengthy ruling released on Thursday, judges on the New York Supreme Court's Appellate Division stated that while Trump was liable for the fraud, the fine of nearly half a billion dollars was excessive and probably violated constitutional protections against severe punishment.In the case Judge Engoron had ordered Trump to pay $355m, but with interest, that grew to more than $500m."While harm certainly occurred, it was not the cataclysmic harm that can...

Delta and United sued for selling 'window seats' without windows
SINGAPORE — Delta Air Lines and United Airlines have been sued by passengers who claim they were charged extra for a window seat but found themselves sitting next to a blank wall.The lawsuits, filed separately against the US carriers, seek millions of dollars in damages for more than a million customers of each airline.They said the companies do not flag that the seats are windowless during the booking process, even when charging a premium for them.United declined to comment as it is an ongoing legal matter. The BBC has contacted Delta for comment.The lawsuits, which are similarly worded, seek refunds of extra fees for passengers who said they had paid for window seats but got windowless ones instead.Both lawsuits, which have been seen by the BBC, were filed by legal firm Greenbaum...

Migrants deported from the US arrive in Honduras in January
US strikes deportation deals with Honduras and Uganda
WASHINGTON – The US has reached bilateral deportation agreements with Honduras and Uganda as part of its crackdown on illegal immigration, according documents obtained by the BBC's US partner CBS. Uganda has agreed to take an unclear number of African and Asian migrants who had claimed asylum on the US-Mexico border, while Honduras will receive several hundred deported people from Spanish-speaking countries, CBS reports. The move is part of an attempt by Donald Trump's administration to get more countries to accept deported migrants who are not their own citizens. Human rights campaigners have condemned the policy, saying migrants face the risk of being sent to countries where they could be harmed. Under the agreement, Uganda has agreed to accept deported migrants as...

Violence between cartels has surged in parts of Mexico in recent years
Six severed heads found on road in Mexico
MEXICO CITY — Six severed heads have been found on a road in central Mexico, in an area not normally associated with cartel violence.Local authorities made the discovery early on Tuesday morning on a route that links the broadly peaceful states of Puebla and Tlaxcala.Police have not given a motive for the killings or said which of the criminal groups operating in Mexico might have carried them out.Local media has reported that a blanket was left at the scene with a message issuing a warning to rival gangs and apparently signed by a group called "La Barredora", meaning "the sweeper".It is the same name as a little-known criminal group operating in the western state of Guerrero but it isn't clear if they were behind the attack or why.The local prosecutor's...

US military vets are helping Afghans fight deportation
SAN DIEGO – As a journalist in Afghanistan, Abdul says he helped promote American values like democracy and freedom. That work, he said, resulted in him being tortured by the Taliban after the US withdrew from the country in 2021.Now he's in California applying for political asylum, amid the looming threat of deportation."We trusted those values," he said. "We came here for safety, and we don't have it, unfortunately."But when Abdul walked into a San Diego court to plead his case, he wasn't alone.Ten veterans showed up for his hearing – unarmed, but dressed in hats and shirts to signify their military credentials as a "show of force", said Shawn VanDiver, a US Navy vet who founded 'Battle Buddies' to support Afghan refugees facing...

Tory Dugas, 36, was sentenced to jail for assault and evading arrest
Texas police hunt convict 'mistakenly' freed from jail
HOUSTON — Police in Texas are searching for a man they say was "mistakenly" released from jail as he was set to begin a seven-year sentence.Tory Dugas, 36, had been sentenced to five years in state prison for assaulting a family member and two years for evading arrest, Harris County Sheriff's Office said.Instead, Dugas, who had been in Harris County jail since Thursday on other charges that were dismissed, was released at 04:30 local time on Sunday.A "thorough investigation" is under way to determine the reason for his "erroneous release" from jail, the sheriff's office said.It appears that jail staff did not "properly document his state prison sentence in his file", the office said in a statement. It led to the assumption that Dugas was...
