4-year-old girl's life-saving treatment at risk after family's legal immigration status is revoked
A Mexican girl is at risk of losing access to the life-saving treatment she has been receiving in Los Angeles after her family's legal immigration status was abruptly revoked. Her family is now fighting to have their status reinstated. 'If they deport us and take away my daughter's access to her specialized care, she will die,' Deysi Vargas, the girl's mother, said Wednesday in her native Spanish during a news conference. Her 4-year-old daughter, who is being identified only by the initials S.G.V., was born with a defect in her small intestines known as short bowel syndrome. The condition does not allow her body to absorb nutrients from regular food. Instead, the girl receives all the nutrients she needs intravenously through a treatment known as Total Parenteral Nutrition, or TPN. "The doctors that are treating her have stated very clearly that if her treatment is interrupted, she will die within days," Gina Amato, an attorney for the family, told NBC News. "This is a classic example where deportation would equal death for this child. It is a very desperate situation.' To prevent malnutrition, S.G.V. receives her TPN treatment each night at home for at least 14 hours, the mother and her attorneys said. During the day, when the girl goes to pre-school or accompanies her mother to the supermarket, S.G.V. wears a portable version of the treatment in a backpack. At least four times a day, Vargas spends one hour connecting her daughter to gastric tubes that attach to the backpack containing the nutrients she needs. The company that manufactures the equipment that delivers the intravenous nutrition the girl needs does "not allow the equipment to travel outside the United States," Amato said at the news conference, adding that few places outside the U.S. can safely and effectively administer this treatment. Before coming to the United States nearly two years ago, S.G.V. 'was in really terrible shape and was having a very difficult time surviving,' Amato said. The girl had been receiving medical care in Mexico, spending many hours in a hospital bed receiving her nutrients intravenously, according to Amato and Vargas. S.G.V. was "not growing or getting any better," Vargas said. Desperate to get better medical care for their daughter, Vargas and her partner used the now-defunct CBP One app on July 2023 to legally enter the U.S. through the southern border. The family was then granted humanitarian parole for the purpose of seeking medical treatment for S.G.V. The girl was quickly taken to a hospital in San Diego upon their arrival because she was in such poor health, the family and their attorneys said. A year later, she was referred to the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles, which has one of the nation's best gastroenterology programs. Doctors there have been caring for S.G.V. for the past year, also monitoring the TPN treatment she receives. "Now, with the help my daughter receives in the United States, my daughter has the opportunity to leave the hospital, see the world, and live like a child her age," Vargas said. S.G.V. was at the news conference with her TPN backpack. She spent most of the time playing cards and making some arts and crafts to show how the treatment has helped improve her quality of life. According to the family's legal team, the family's humanitarian parole was set to expire at the end of July and Vargas was fighting to get it extended. But last month, the family received a notice via email from the Department of Homeland Security terminating their parole and work authorization. "If you do not depart the United States immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal from the United States — unless you have otherwise obtained a lawful basis to remain here," the notice, which was obtained by NBC News, reads. 'Clearly they did not give individualized consideration to this case, because had they done so,' Amato told NBC News, 'we believe that they would not have made this decision given the really poor condition of this child.' The notice also said, "DHS encourages you to leave immediately on your own," using the CBP Home mobile app, which has a self-deportation feature. The notice did not state a reason for revoking the family's parole other than DHS "exercising its discretion." According to attorneys at Public Counsel, the legal firm representing the family, no one in the family has any convictions. But the girl's father, who is not married to Vargas, has a pending charge stemming from "a misunderstanding at the San Diego hospital when he raised his voice" when discussing his daughter's care in an area "where he did not understand he could not be loud." Attorneys believe the charge will likely "be dismissed because he's complying with the anger management classes the courts requested of him," they said. "This does not influence the legality of Deysi's case." Believing the DHS notice was perhaps sent by mistake, attorneys for the family wrote a letter to federal immigration authorities on May 9. "They have not violated the terms of their parole," the letter, which was obtained by NBC News, reads. "We believe this notice was issued in error. Please correct this error." Still, the family continued receiving notices about their parole's termination, Amato said during the press conference. So, they filed a new application for humanitarian parole through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The agency did not respond to a request for comment. A senior DHS official insisted to NBC News via email that reports about the family "actively being deported are FALSE. This family applied with USCIS for humanitarian parole on May 14, 2025, and the application is still being considered.' In the meantime, 'the family is very much in limbo, and they're terrified,' Amato said. 'They're no longer in status and they're no longer authorized to work in the U.S. So, they face many fears.'

UK charges Tate brothers with human trafficking and rape
British prosecutors have approved multiple charges against social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate, including rape and human trafficking. The brothers, who face similar charges in Romania, have denied any wrongdoing. The UK's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said on Wednesday that it had authorized 21 charges related to offences allegedly committed between 2012 and 2015, according to multiple media outlets. British authorities issued a warrant in 2024, but full details were released only on Wednesday. Andrew Tate, 38, is accused of ten offences involving three alleged victims, including rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain. His brother Tristan, 36, faces 11 charges, including rape and human trafficking, related to one alleged victim. 'It is extremely important that there be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings,' the CPS was quoted as saying. The Tate brothers, dual US-UK citizens, were first arrested in Romania in 2022 on charges including human trafficking, sexual misconduct, and forming an organized crime group. They spent three months in custody and have since been under house arrest with restricted movement. That case stalled in December 2024 when a Bucharest appeals court returned the indictment to prosecutors, citing procedural issues. The brothers are also under investigation in the US, though the nature of that probe remains unclear. It was opened in March after the Tates briefly stayed in Florida following the lifting of their Romanian travel ban. In February, the Financial Times reported that US President Donald Trump's administration had helped the brothers – vocal supporters of the president – enter the country. Trump told reporters he knew 'nothing about that.' The two men returned to Romania in March for a court proceeding. After the Romanian investigation concludes, they are set to be extradited to the UK. The Tates are the sons of an American chess master and a British catering assistant. Andrew, a former professional kickboxer, has amassed over 10 million followers on X by promoting a lifestyle of luxury cars, watches, and private jets. He also runs an online academy offering courses to young men on wealth and relationships.

Elon Musk criticizes Trump's ‘big beautiful bill,' a fracture in a key relationship
WASHINGTON: Elon Musk is criticizing the centerpiece of President Donald Trump's legislative agenda, a significant fracture in a partnership that was forged during last year's campaign and was poised to reshape American politics and the federal government. The billionaire entrepreneur, who supported Trump's candidacy with at least $250 million and has worked for his administration as a senior adviser, said he was 'disappointed' by what the president calls his 'big beautiful bill.' The legislation includes a mix of tax cuts and enhanced immigration enforcement. While speaking to CBS, Musk described it as a 'massive spending bill' that increases the federal deficit and 'undermines the work' of his Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE. 'I think a bill can be big or it could be beautiful,' Musk said. 'But I don't know if it could be both.' His CBS interview came out Tuesday night. Trump, speaking in the Oval Office on Wednesday, defended his agenda by talking about the delicate politics involved with negotiating the legislation. 'I'm not happy about certain aspects of it, but I'm thrilled by other aspects of it,' he said. Trump also suggested that more changes could be made. 'We're going to see what happens,' he said. 'It's got a way to go.' Republicans recently pushed the measure through the House and are debating it in the Senate. Musk's concerns are shared by some Republican lawmakers. Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson said he was 'pretty confident' there was enough opposition 'to slow this process down until the president, our leadership, gets serious' about reducing spending. Speaking at a Milwaukee Press Club event on Wednesday, he added that there was no amount of pressure Trump could put on him to change his position. Speaker Mike Johnson has asked senators to make as few changes to the legislation as possible, saying that House Republicans reached a 'very delicate balance' that could be upended with major changes. The narrowly divided House will have to vote again on final passage once the Senate alters the bill. On Wednesday, Johnson thanked Musk for his work and promised to pursue more spending cuts in the future, saying 'the House is eager and ready to act on DOGE's findings.' The White House is sending some proposed rescissions, a mechanism used to cancel previously authorized spending, to Capitol Hill to solidify some of DOGE's cuts. A spokesperson for the Office of Management and Budget said the package will include $1.1 billion from the Corporation of Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and PBS, and $8.3 billion in foreign assistance. Musk's criticism come as he steps back from his government work, rededicating himself to companies like the electric automaker Tesla and rocket manufacturer SpaceX. He's also said he'll reduce his political spending, because 'I think I've done enough.' At times, he's seemed chastened by his experience working in government. Although he hoped that DOGE would generate $1 trillion in spending cuts, he's fallen far short of that target. 'The federal bureaucracy situation is much worse than I realized,' he told The Washington Post. 'I thought there were problems, but it sure is an uphill battle trying to improve things in D.C., to say the least.' Musk had previously been energized by the opportunity to reshape Washington. He wore campaign hats in the White House, held his own campaign rallies and talked about excessive spending as an existential crisis. He often tended to be effusive in his praise of Trump. 'The more I've gotten to know President Trump, the more I like the guy,' Musk said in February. 'Frankly, I love him.' Trump repaid the favor, describing Musk as 'a truly great American.' When Tesla faced declining sales, he turned the White House driveway into a makeshift showroom to illustrate his support. It's unclear what, if any, impact that Musk's comments about the bill would have on the legislative debate. During the transition period, he helped whip up opposition to a spending measure as the country stood on the brink of a federal government shutdown. His latest criticism could embolden Republicans who want bigger spending cuts. Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee reposted a Fox News story about Musk's interview while also adding his own take on the measure, saying there was 'still time to fix it.' 'The Senate version will be more aggressive,' Lee said. 'It can, it must, and it will be. Or it won't pass.' Only two Republicans — Reps. Warren Davidson of Ohio and Thomas Massie of Kentucky — voted against the bill when the House took up the measure last week. Davidson took note of Musk's comments on social media. 'Hopefully, the Senate will succeed with the Big Beautiful Bill where the House missed the moment,' he wrote. 'Don't hope someone else will cut deficits someday, know it has been done this Congress.' The Congressional Budget Office, in a preliminary estimate, said the tax provisions would increase federal deficits by $3.8 trillion over the decade, while the changes to Medicaid, food stamps and other services would reduce spending by slightly more than $1 trillion over the same period. House Republican leaders say increased economic growth would allow the bill to be deficit neutral or reducing, but outside watchdogs are skeptical. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates the bill would add $3 trillion to the debt, including interest, over the next decade.
