Multiple migrants on contested flights carrying Venezuelans the Trump administration deported to El Salvador said that they were returned to the United States because Salvadorean authorities would not accept them, according to new court filings. To carry out the deportations, President Donald Trump invoked a 18th century wartime law that is now at the center of a high-takes legal battle. One migrant, a Venezuelan woman, said that she and seven other women were flown back to the US after the plane landed in El Salvador, claiming she was told that “the President of El Salvador would not accept women.” A…

Sign up for CNN’s Sleep, But Better newsletter series. Our seven-part guide has helpful hints to achieve better sleep. Summary Wearing socks to bed could help improve sleep by lowering core body temperature, according to Cleveland Clinic specialists. The process of warming feet opens blood vessels, increasing heat loss through skin and cooling the body.

That’s the carmaker eating everyone’s lunch in China, the world’s biggest auto market, and rapidly gaining market share around the globe (except in the United States, of course, because of longstanding trade restrictions on Chinese imports). On Monday, BYD reported $107 billion in revenue for 2024 — crossing the $100 billion level for the first time and besting Tesla’s annual revenue by about…

CNN  —  A prominent Indian comedian is standing by his right to make jokes after an angry mob attacked a comedy club where he had made an onstage jibe at a right-wing politician. Kunal Kamra, known for his quips about popular culture and politics, is under investigation for alleged defamation by police in the western state of Maharashtra after he told a joke about the state’s Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

CNN  —  The Trump administration – after accusing Columbia University graduate and pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil of being a Hamas sympathizer without providing evidence – now says Khalil’s deportation is justified because he did not reveal connections to two organizations in his application to become a permanent US resident, an argument his attorneys call weak. Khalil failed to state on his green card application he had previously worked for the Syria office of the British Embassy in Beirut and was a member of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, or UNRWA, the…

CNN  —  Israel’s security cabinet has approved a controversial proposal to facilitate Palestinian emigration from Gaza, a move critics warn could amount to ethnic cleansing. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Sunday said the security cabinet approved the proposal by Defense Minister Israel Katz to organize “a voluntary transfer for Gaza residents who express interest in moving to third countries, in accordance with Israeli and international law, and following the vision of US President Donald Trump.” The decision marks a remarkable endorsement of a plan once considered a far-right fantasy – and comes despite the prime minister’s earlier pledge not…

Milwaukee, Wisconsin CNN  —  Angela Lang is about to send her canvassing teams door knocking. But first, a moment to outline the stakes: “Fair maps, abortion, voting rights,” is Lang’s list. “It’s not a seat we can afford to lose because if Republicans and conservatives gain control of the court, that’s Elon Musk and that’s a through line to the Trump agenda.” On paper, the April 1 election pits Susan Crawford against Brad Schimel for a vacancy on the Wisconsin state Supreme Court. Liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley is retiring, and the election will determine the court’s ideological balance. Crawford…

London CNN  —  Moya O’Sullivan looked in her cabinets, and saw a problem: her cream cheese, toothpaste, mouthwash, whiskey and soft drinks were all American. They had to go. “I’m not buying Philadelphia (cream) cheese anymore,” O’Sullivan tells CNN. “No more Oreos either.” Oral-B and Listerine have been replaced in her bathroom closet, while Jack Daniel’s and Coca-Cola have been banished from her drinks cabinet. O’Sullivan, 29, teaches history and English to pupils in Kilkenny, southern Ireland. But by changing her shopping list, she’s hoping to school the 77 million Americans who voted to elect President Donald Trump to a…
