Sheets added that being part of this 'pressure lineup' is 'pretty special.'

Julia Roberts celebrates 23 years of marriage with Danny Moder
Washington [US], July 5 (ANI): Actress Julia Roberts and cinematographer Danny Moder marked 23 years of marriage with a private camping retreat, as revealed in heartfelt social media posts. Roberts posted a photo on Instagram showing the couple's bare feet inside an open tent overlooking a scenic forest and lake. The caption read, "You Me = 23," referencing their wedding anniversary, which falls on US Independence Day, July 4. Moder added his own light-hearted contribution to the celebration, sharing a photo of a silver spoon engraved in honour of the milestone. "23 years is SILVER," he wrote, adding, "Here we are in my engraved SPOON! the fun continues... and a happy 4th to all." The couple, who met on the set of 'The Mexican' in 2001 and married the following year, are known for keeping their relationship largely out of the public eye. They share three children: 20-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and Henry, 18. Despite their private nature, Roberts has occasionally opened up about her marriage. In an earlier interview, she credited her husband with contributing to her sense of joy and well-being. "Good genes, leading a life that is fulfilling, and I have said this--and I say it usually as kind of a joke--but I do believe in the love of a good man," she said, adding, "I believe that my husband loves me and cares for me in a way that makes me feel deeply, deeply happy," as quoted by E! News. Roberts also noted that the timing of her personal and professional success has helped balance her life. "The luckiest aspect of my work life/family life is that the success of my work life came earlier," she explained, adding, "So by the time I had the success of my family life and had a husband and children who wanted to stay home, I had been working for 18 years." 'The Notting Hill' actress also shared admiration for Moder's role as a father in a recent Father's Day post, writing, "Such a great joy in life to see you Fathering!" As for the secret to their enduring marriage, Roberts offered a candid explanation in a 2022 interview with E! News, "It's making out. Lots of making out." (ANI)

'Like cattle, no food for 16 hours': Newlywed woman, held for 140 days, recalls US detention horror
A newly wedded bride from the US state of Texas who was released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody on Thursday has said she was treated like "cattle" during her detention. Ward Sakeik , a stateless Palestinian woman married to a US citizen, was detained in February on the way back from her honeymoon. She was released by the immigration detention after more than four months of confinement. Ward spoke publicly for the first time since being detained at a Miami airport in February. She had been held in ICE custody for 140 days after returning from her honeymoon.

After arriving back from the US Virgin Islands with her husband Taahir Shaikh, Sakeik said, "I was put in a gray tracksuit and shackles immediately," during a press conference held in Dallas-Fort Worth. "I was handcuffed for 16 hours without any water or food on the bus. I was moved around like cattle," Sakeik added. 'I was overfilled with joy and a little shock,' she said at a press conference on Thursday. 'I mean, it was my first time seeing a tree in five months.' The US government tried to dump me in a part of the world where I had no idea where I was going, what I was doing," WSWS quoted Sakeik as saying. Live Events She ran to her husband, who had come to pick her up. 'I was like, oh my God, I can touch him without handcuffs and without a glass. It was just freedom.'

"Any claim that there is a lack of food or subprime conditions at ICE detention centers are false," Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Newsweek. "All detainees are provided with proper meals, medical treatment, and have opportunities to communicate with their family members and lawyers. Ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of individuals in our custody is a top priority at ICE. Meals are certified by dietitians." ICE attempted to deport Ward Sakeik The development comes at a time when President Donald Trump has pledged to carry out the largest mass deportation operation in US history, and in the initial months of his second term, his administration has deported more than 100,000 people. Anyone living in the country without legal status is considered a "criminal," the White House has said.

The first time, she was told she was being taken to the Israel border – just as Israel launched airstrikes on Iran, reported The Guardian. The second time, Sakeik was told once again she would be deported – despite a judge's order barring her removal from her home state of Texas. Her legal team said at around 5 a.m. CT on Monday, Sakeik was woken by guards and told to prepare to leave the facility immediately, according to the legal team, in what was the second attempt by ICE to deport Sakeik unlawfully. "These deportations, they just happened all of a sudden—I was not given a phone call," Sakeik said at the press conference. She added that she was able to call her husband, but "a phone call was not provided to me from ICE." "I just had to wait and take a very, very long time to pack my stuff to just buy time to wait for the phone system to work to call Taahir," she said.

Around the time of her January wedding, Sakeik applied for a green card and cleared the initial stage of the process. Due to her immigration status, she and her husband chose to honeymoon in the U.S. Virgin Islands to avoid the risks of international travel.

Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told NewsWeek, "Ward Sakeik was not 'complying with immigration policies.' The facts are she is in our country illegally." "Ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of individuals in our custody is a top priority at ICE. Why does the media continue to fall for the sob stories of illegal aliens in detention and villainize ICE law enforcement? "She overstayed her visa and has had a final order by an immigration judge for over a decade. President Trump and [Homeland] Secretary [Kristi] Noem are committed to restoring integrity to the visa program and ensuring it is not abused to allow aliens a permanent one-way ticket to remain in the U.S."
