President Joe Biden is expected to announce new rules on Tuesday that will protect up to half a million illegal immigrants from deportation as his presumed opponent, Donald Trump, signals that he will conduct mass deportations if he wins a second term in the White House. The Biden administration’s new policy would ease the pathway to permanent residency for illegal immigrants married to U.S. citizens, The New York Times reported, citing officials familiar with the plan. It was first reported last week, and Tuesday’s formal announcement would mark the 12th anniversary of President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which protected some children in the U.S. illegally from deportation. Biden administration officials who were briefed on the new policy expect that it could affect up to 500,000 illegal immigrants, but the exact number remains unclear, according to the Times. Under the new rules implemented by the Department of Homeland Security, some illegal immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens would be given an easier path to apply for permanent residency and work permits. The president is also expected to announce a separate rule on Tuesday that would help DACA recipients, commonly referred to as “Dreamers,” receive work visas. Biden’s rules on illegal immigrants come as he faces an ongoing crisis at the southern border and voters voice their concerns about illegal immigration ahead of the 2024 presidential election. A fact sheet from the White House on the new protections includes requirements that illegal immigrants must have lived in the country for at least 10 years and be legally married to an American to qualify, Fox News reported. An illegal immigrant approved under Biden’s program could apply for permanent residency after three years and be eligible for a work permit for up to three years. “President Biden believes that securing the border is essential,” a White House spokesman said, according to Fox News. “He also believes in expanding lawful pathways and keeping families together, and that immigrants who have been in the United States for decades, paying taxes and contributing to their communities, are part of the social fabric of our country.” Republicans, led by Trump, have slammed Biden for his handling of immigration and border security. The president, however, has remained unapologetic for his border policies — even as Customs and Border Protection has reported record numbers of border encounters in the past three years.

Trump has promised that if he wins in November, he will implement the “largest deportation” operation in U.S. history, calling illegal immigration “an invasion of our country.”

Actor Kevin Costner said he’s open to returning to the hit Western series “Yellowstone” if it makes sense to do so. The 69-year-old star shared his thoughts during a Monday appearance on TODAY. “I’ve supported that thing and I’ve loved it,” Costner said of the Taylor Sheridan drama series. “It’s been really important to me. I would love to go back under the right circumstances I think that all of us want. For me, it really needs to be the right circumstances.” “Saying there’s a chance, there’s always a chance,” he added. “I love the thing. You’ve got to be really clear about that.” Costner has previously indicated he is open to making a return to playing family patriarch John Dutton after some squabbles over contract obligations. The actor told GQ in May that he had signed on for seasons five, six, and seven but was thrown for a loop when the fifth season was split into two parts. Following speculation over why the actor exited the series, Paramount put out a statement in February 2023 stating, “Kevin Costner is a big part of ‘Yellowstone’ and we hope that’s the case for a long time to come.” Costner was also committed to working on his passion project, a three-part Western film series called “Horizon.” The actor wrote, produced, directed, and stars in the project.

Film one will open nationwide in theaters beginning June 28, while the second movie will follow on August 16. “Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1” currently has a 43% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes. 

“Lord of the Rings” actor Ian McKellen was hospitalized after falling from the stage during a Monday performance at the Noël Coward Theater in London. The 85-year-old lost his balance and fell during a battle scene in “Player Kings,” a production of Shakespeare’s “Henry IV, Parts One and Two,” per BBC. McKellen reportedly cried out in pain after his fall, prompting staff to rush over and assist him. The report said the theater was “evacuated” and Tuesday night’s performance was also canceled. McKellen is expected to make a full recovery. “Thank you to our audience and the general public for their well wishes following Ian’s fall during this evening’s performance of ‘Player Kings,’” a statement from the theater said.  “Following a scan, the brilliant NHS team have assured us that he will make a speedy and full recovery and Ian is in good spirits,” it said. “The production has made the decision to cancel the performance on Tuesday 18 June so Ian can rest. Those affected will be contacted by their point of purchase as soon as possible tomorrow. Thank you to doctors Rachel and Lee who were on hand in the audience and to all the venue staff for their support.” An audience member told BBC the fall was “very shocking.” “As far as I saw, he was conscious because he was asking for assistance,” the witness explained. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP London-based journalist Charlie Johnson was in the audience and shared his account of the fall with an X post. “Just witnessed Ian McKellen severely injure himself after falling off stage at Noel Coward Theatre. Sir Ian could be heard screaming in pain as ushers rushed to his aid. Show cancelled as he is treated by ambulance crews. Wish him all the best,” he wrote. McKellen frequently acts in Shakespearean plays, including productions of “Macbeth,” “King Lear,” “Richard II,” “Coriolanus,” “Iago,” and “Richard III.” He is the winner of a Tony Award and six Olivier Awards, which are the British equivalent awarded for excellence in professional theater.  The actor became internationally known for his portrayal of Gandalf in “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit.” McKellen also played Magneto in the “X-Men” films.

There are some experiences that are so unique to being a teacher. For example, they experience the joy and heartbreak that comes from having countless students briefly enter their lives, only to move on soon after. But no matter how brief a student’s time is in a teacher’s classroom, they’ll always leave a lasting impact. This concept may be difficult for a kindergartner to understand, but this teacher, Ms. Kelli, found the perfect way — by sharing her “favorite student” with them. Ms. Kelli shares her clever method in a now viral video. She starts by holding a treasure box. Inside, she says, there’s a picture of her favorite students. One at a time, she invites her kindergarteners to take a peak inside, seemingly making sure they don’t reveal who is inside. With each kid who looks inside, their faces brighten with a happy smile! Learn why that’s the case in the heartwarming video below… @the_wondermint I was smiling so hard that it helped me hold back the tears. What precious souls I taught this year and they truly are all “my favorites.” #teachersontiktok #teachertok #teachersoftiktok #iteachk #kindergarten #ilovekindergarten #iloveteaching #foryoupage #teacherforyoupage #fypage #teacherfyp #seethewonderkeepitfresh #endofschoolyear #endofschooltradition ♬ Moments to Memories – Adeline Hill As you may have guessed, there isn’t actually a photo of a student in Ms. Kelli’s treasure chest. Instead, there’s a mirror. So, when each student looks inside, they see themselves! “I was smiling so hard that it helped me hold back the tears,” Ms. Kelli shares in the caption of her video. “What precious souls I taught this year and they truly are all ‘my favorites.'” Kindergarten Teacher Finds the Best Way to Reveal Who is Her “Favorite Student” “As a mom sending her first born to kindergarten next year, this is the sweetest thing you could have done for them,” someone writes in the comments. “I could not be happier to have a child during this generation of teachers,” another person shares. “Thank you for the care you give.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
