Trump gives another 90 days for the sale of "Tik Tok". Curfew lifted in LA. New York mayoral candidate detained  - 1

US President Donald Trump will postpone the deadline by which the company "Bite Danes" will have to sell "Tik Tok" for another 90 days in the US, BTA reported, citing White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt.

The deadline was originally set for January 19, but Trump extended it twice by 75 days.

"The US president doesn't want "Tik Tok to go away", Levitt said, referring to a law passed by Congress that provides for the banning of the platform in the US if it is not sold by its company to another.

The mayor of Los Angeles has canceled the curfew imposed after protests against the migration policy of the Donald Trump administration, which escalated into clashes and violence in the city, world agencies quoted by BTA reported.

The mayor of the metropolis, Karen Bass, introduced restrictions on movement in the city last Tuesday. According to them, there was a curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. On Monday, the curfew was reduced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The day after, it was lifted.

Karen Bass said that the curfew, combined with crime prevention efforts, has contributed greatly to the successful protection of stores, restaurants, businesses and residential areas of the city from bad people who do not care at all about immigrants.

New York mayoral candidate Brad Lander from the Democratic Party was briefly detained by agents of the country's immigration services, world agencies reported, quoted by BTA.

Lander was arrested while in court in Manhattan trying to protect migrants from deportation. He is the New York City Comptroller.

According to New York Federal Attorney General Letitia James, also a Democrat, Lander's detention is a shocking abuse of power by immigration agents.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Lander was briefly arrested for attempting to obstruct a federal immigration agent.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum spoke by phone with U.S. President Donald Trump after their meeting scheduled on the sidelines of the G-7 in Canada was canceled and Trump left the forum early, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.

In a post in "Ex" Sheinbaum said he and Trump agreed to work together to reach an agreement on various issues.

A White House official described the conversation between the two as good.

US Homeland Security Secretary Christie Noam was taken to the hospital due to an allergic reaction, world agencies reported, citing a statement from the Department of Homeland Security.

Noam is conscious and doing well. She was admitted to a hospital in Washington.

The secretary is 53 years old and is one of the leading representatives of the Donald Trump administration, implementing the Republican president's tough immigration policy.

Noam's department is responsible for national security, cybersecurity, airport security, natural disaster recovery and other issues and has about 260,000 people.

Noam is among the faces of Trump's mass deportation policy and often appears during operations to implement this strategy. She also encourages illegal immigrants to leave the United States on their own.

Last week, during a press conference in California, Democrat and state senator Alex Padilla was escorted out by security while trying to speak with Noam. Noem's department later said it thought it was an attacker, and Noem said she had a good conversation with him after the incident.

Before becoming secretary, Noem served as governor of South Dakota twice. She is also a staunch Trump supporter.

Earlier this year, Noem's purse was stolen on Easter Sunday while she was out to dinner with friends. It contained $3,000 in cash, her house keys, her driver's license, her passport and her department badge. The department explained at the time that the cash was for gifts for Noem's family and to pay for dinner out, as well as other Easter family activities. A suspect was arrested and charged in the theft.

A federal judge blocked the decision of the administration of US President Donald Trump to deny the issuance of passports to transgender and non-binary Americans that reflect their gender identity, news.bg reports, citing "Reuters".

U.S. District Judge Julia Kobik in Boston extended a preliminary injunction she issued in April that allowed only six people to obtain passports that match their gender identity or have a gender designation of "X" while the case continues.

Kobik did so after concluding that the policy, adopted by the U.S. State Department under an executive order signed by Trump, is likely discriminatory on the basis of sex and rooted in irrational prejudice against transgender Americans that violates the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Although Kobik's April ruling was limited in scope, the judge, appointed by Democratic President Joe Biden, agreed on Tuesday to grant the case class action status and halt the policy, which applies to all transgender, nonbinary and intersex U.S. passport holders. passports.

Kobik said granting class action status to two different categories of passport holders was appropriate, given that the administration's actions have affected all of them equally, "by preventing them from obtaining passports with a gender marker that matches their gender identity".

Lee Nowlin-Soll, a lawyer for the plaintiffs at the American Civil Liberties Union, called the decision "a critical victory against discrimination and for equal justice under the law" in a statement.

The State Department did not respond to requests for comment.

The case is one of several related to an executive order signed by Trump after he returned to office on Jan. 20 that orders the government to recognize only two biologically distinct sexes - male and female.

The order also directs the State Department to change its policy to only issue passports that "accurately reflect the gender of the holder".

Soon after, the State Department changed its passport policy to "require the applicant's biological sex at birth", rather than allowing applicants to self-identify their gender, and to allow them to be listed only as male or female.

Before Trump, the State Department had for more than three decades allowed people to update the gender designation on their passports.

In 2022, the Biden administration allowed passport applicants to select "X" as a gender-neutral marker on their passport applications, as well as to be able to choose "M" or "F" for a man or a woman.
