Trump administration reverses deportation order of four-year-old child undergoing life-saving treatment

'This is to advise you that effective June 2, 2025, you have been granted humanitarian parole for a period of one year,' said a letter received on Monday, according to the Los Angles Times. Deysi Vargas, her husband, and their daughter, identified by lawyers as Sofia, arrived in the US in 2023 to seek medical care for the young girl, who suffers from a rare condition requiring specialised treatment. In April, the federal government ended the family's humanitarian parole and ordered them to 'self-deport.' Doctors warned that Sofia would likely die 'within days' if forced to return to Mexico. Her family and legal team challenged the order, calling it unlawful and 'a cruel betrayal of our nation's values.' The case sparked national outrage and drew strong support from Democratic lawmakers. Dozens of members of Congress, including California senators Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla, signed a letter urging the department of homeland security to reinstate the family's legal status. 'We believe this family's situation clearly meets the need for humanitarian aid and urge you and this Administration to reconsider its decision. It is our duty to protect the sick, vulnerable, and defenseless. Without action, SGV will die,' the lawmakers wrote.

Olivia Munn Opens Up About Feeling 'Insecure' Filming Sex Scenes Because of Her Cancer Scars
Olivia Munn is sharing her insecurities about shooting intimate scenes post-breast cancer treatments. In an interview with the Los Angles Times, published on Friday, Munn spoke about how she felt self-conscious filming numerous sex scenes with Jon Hamm in the new show Your Friends & Neighbors because her cancer scars would show.

Scars that can be seen in clothing and scars that you wouldn't know unless I was completely nude,' the actress said. In the show, which marks Hamm's grand return to TV in a leading role, Sam (Munn) and Coop (Hamm) are in a friends-with-benefits relationship. 'She wants something so much more from him than he's willing to give and their only connection is through sex,' Munn said. 'I really wanted that to be portrayed. I wanted the sex scenes to feel like sex scenes — I wanted them to feel visceral and intense and not hold back at all.' But being naked on-screen was vulnerable for Munn. 'I did feel insecure, but each time I did it, I felt better,' she said. In March 2024, Munn revealed she had been battling with Stage 1 breast cancer over the past 10 months. Following the diagnosis, she's undergone a double mastectomy, lymph node dissection, reconstructive surgery and a hysterectomy. Reflecting on those experiences now, Munn said, 'Going through a year of battling cancer and five surgeries, the goal is not to be known as a sick person. The goal is to get to the other side and be back to normal.'
