Legal challenges are already being presented to Donald Trump's ban on Muslim asylum-seekers

Lawyers representing two Iraqi refugees have filed legal challenges to President Donald Trump's executive order barring citizens and refugees from seven Muslim-majority nations from entering the US.

The order took immediate effect on Friday and left refugees stranded or detained in airports across the country.

The two Iraqi refugees, who were being held at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York, were carrying valid visas and had been granted asylum for their or their families' work for the US government during the American occupation, which made them targets in their home country.

The refugees' lawyers "filed a writ of habeas corpus early Saturday in the Eastern District of New York seeking to have their clients released," the New York Times reported on Saturday. "At the same time, they filed a motion for class certification, in an effort to represent all refugees and immigrants who they said were being unlawfully detained at ports of entry."

California wants to secede from the United States

I guess a bit of Chaos is coming to the US following Donald Trump's election to the highest seat in the country. The state of California wants to secede from the United States in a move that has been called 'Calexit', which if they succeed, would establish California as a separate country from the USA. This is the first time since 1861 that a state (South Carolina) would attempt to exit the US.

One of the people pushing for the recession explained why California wants out of the US;
"California is the most diverse place in the world. And we  want to have more minorities, more immigrants, more international connections"

High Court blocks Nigeria oil spill case against Shell

A British court has blocked pollution claims against Anglo-Dutch energy giant Shell by many residents of Nigeria's Niger Delta region demanding action over decades of oil spills there.

Members of the Ogale and Bille communities, who say thousands of lives have been devastated by environmental disasters from the global company, had applied for the case to be heard in Britain, arguing that rampant corruption in their home country prevents them from achieving justice in courts there.

But the High Court in London on Thursday said that it did not have jurisdiction in the case, ruling that it should be settled in Nigeria.

"Our community is disappointed but not discouraged by this judgement," King Emere Godwin Bebe Okpabi, ruler of the Ogale Community, said in a statement.

"This decision has to be appealed, not just for Ogale but for many other people in the Niger Delta who will be shut out if this decision is allowed to stand.

8th Wonder of The World

From the Great Pyramid of Giza, to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemis, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Marsoleum at Harlicarnassus, Collosium of Rhodes and the Light house Of Alexandria. The Duge Beipanjiang Bridge in southwest China stands out and is arguably becoming the 8th wonder of the world.
The Bridge stretches across a 1,341metres (4,400-foot) span, at 555metes(1,854-ft) above the valley, it is now the highest bridge in the world. It is estimated to have cost the Chinese Government a whooping 144million US Dollars. The Bridge is said to be almost two Eiffel towers, just to give an idea of the drop-down to the water beneath.

The Case Against El Chapo: What We Know So Far

After decades of evading the authorities with almost mythic agility, New York's Eastern District has finally pinned Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán down in a lower Manhattan jail. The Sinaloa cartel kingpin faces what U.S. Attorney Robert L. Capers called "a 17-count, sweeping indictment," including drug distribution, money laundering and most broadly, "leading a continuing criminal enterprise" – which covers his activity from 1989 to present day. If charged with that alone, he faces a mandatory minimum of life in prison.

LeBron James and Cavs owner Dan Gilbert's relationship is reportedly 'straining' over how much the team is spending

LeBron James and Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert are at odds over the team's spending on payroll, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

James, who on Monday publicly blasted the Cavs' roster for not being deep enough, reportedly believes that the team has slowed "new spending" after winning a championship last year.

According to Windhorst, James' public criticisms "angered" Gilbert, who spent an NBA record $161 million in payroll and luxury tax last season and has spent the most of any NBA team over the past three seasons.

The dispute over the Cavs' payroll is reportedly "straining" James and Gilbert's relationship.

According to Windhorst, when James returned to the Cavaliers in 2014, he spoke to Gilbert about his willingness to spend unconditionally to build a championship contender. Gilbert agreed, and James joined the team.
