World Cup Athletes Are Among the Exceptions to Trump's New Travel Ban
President Trump signed a travel ban on Wednesday that prohibits citizens of 12 countries from entering the United States. The primarily targets nations in Africa and the Middle East. The ban, which goes into effect on Monday, bars travel to the United States by citizens of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. And it limits travel from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. But there were some exceptions to the expansive order: Green card holders People with green cards — individuals who have a pathway to U.S. citizenship — are exempted from the ban. When a travel ban was introduced by Mr. Trump during his first term in 2017, chaos and confusion ensued at airports. The Department of Homeland Security had to put out a statement clarifying that green card holders could enter the country. This time, the administration is making that exemption clear in the order itself. Dual citizens People who are American citizens but also hold citizenship with a banned country will not be effected by the order. Those who seek visas through connections to an American family member Immigrants from the banned countries who seek visas through connections to their spouses, children, or parents who are American citizens will still be able to apply for them. Certain athletes Athletes and coaches traveling to the United States to play in major sporting events, along with their families, will still be allowed into the country, despite the ban. The United States is one of the hosts of the World Cup in 2026, and Los Angeles is the site of the Summer Olympics in 2028. This exception will allow soccer players from targeted countries, like Iran, to enter the United States for the World Cup. Refugees granted asylum Those who have been admitted as refugees or were granted asylum are exempted under the order. Afghans who helped the U.S. The order exempts Afghans who seek to enter the U.S. under a special visa program for those helped the U.S. government during the two decades of war after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Iranians fleeing religious persecution Iranians who are escaping the country because they belong to a religious minority, like Christianity, are also exempted.

Climber dies after falling 3,000 feet from Mount McKinley in Alaska's Denali National Park
The body of a climber who dreamed of summiting Alaska's Mount McKinley, also known as Denali, has been found two days after he fell approximately 3,000 feet, the National Parks Service said. Alex Chiu, 41, was ascending the West Buttress climbing route of Mount McKinley — the tallest mountain in North America and third highest in the world — with two others on Monday when he fell at a spot known as Squirrel Point, according to park officials. After his friends witnessed the fall, they tried to lower themselves as far over the edge as they possibly could, but they weren't able to hear or see Chiu, NPS said in a news release. They then went back down the mountain for help. High winds and snow prevented rescue teams from getting to the area where Chiu fell until Wednesday morning, NPS said. Chiu is one of multiple climbers who have died in falls since 1980 along this section of Mount McKinley's West Buttress route, according to NPS. There are currently 500 climbers on Mount McKinley, the park said. The beginning of June is right in the middle of the climbing season, which generally begins in early May and ends in early July, NPS said.

Atwood's hit on intentional walk attempt gives Texas a 2-1 win over Texas Tech in WCWS finals opener
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Reese Atwood hit a go-ahead, two-run single for Texas when Texas Tech ace NiJaree Canady was trying to walk her intentionally in the sixth inning, and the Longhorns beat the Red Raiders 2-1 in Game 1 of the Women's College World Series finals on Wednesday night. Teagan Kavan pitched a three-hitter for Texas (54-11), which can secure its first national title with a victory in Game 2 on Thursday night. Texas Tech (53-12) would have to win two straight to claim its first championship in its first WCWS appearance. Canady allowed four hits and struck out seven, but she has lost four of five career starts against Texas, with two of those defeats for the Red Raiders this season and two for her previous school, Stanford. Canady struck out the first two batters in the sixth but ran into trouble when Kayden Henry singled to left and stole second. Mia Scott reached on an infield single, moving Henry to third, and Scott took second without a throw. With first base open and a 3-0 count on Atwood, Texas Tech catcher Victoria Valdez stood up to set a target well out of the zone for Canady, but the pitch came in letter-high and Atwood hit a hard grounder through the left side. Texas Tech scored in the fifth inning with the help of an obstruction call. Pinch-hitter Logan Halleman reached on a fielding error and Atwood threw her out trying to steal second. Texas Tech challenged the call, and umpires ruled that shortstop Leighanne Goode had obstructed Halleman's path to the bag. Mihya Davis singled to right-center to drive in Halleman. Kavan has not allowed an earned run in four WCWS appearances. Over 24 innings, she has allowed 12 hits and struck out 15. She got 10 groundouts on Wednesday night. The Red Raiders threatened in the first, loading the bases with no outs. Canady, who leads Texas Tech with 11 homers, hit a grounder to third to start a 5-2-3 double play, and Alexa Langeliers grounded out to the pitcher to end the inning. ___ AP sports:
