By Dietrich Knauth (Reuters) -A federal judge on Saturday temporarily blocked U.S. PresidentDonald Trumpfrom deploying 200 Oregon National Guard troops to the city of Portland while a lawsuit challenging the move plays out. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut in Portland is a setback for Trump as he seeks to dispatch the military to cities he describes as lawless over the objections of their Democratic leaders. Immergut, who was appointed by Trump during his first term, blocked the Republican president from sending troops at least until October 18, saying there was no evidence that recent protests rose to the level of a rebellion or seriously interfered with law enforcement. While Trump described the city as "War ravaged," lawyers from the Oregon attorney general's office have said that protests in Portland were "small and sedate," resulting in only 25 arrests in mid-June and no arrests in the 3-1/2 months since June 19. "The President's determination was simply untethered to the facts," Immergut wrote. The White House said it would appeal. "President Trump exercised his lawful authority to protect federal assets and personnel in Portland following violent riots and attacks on law enforcement — we expect to be vindicated by a higher court," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said. Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said at a press conference that his city was peaceful and "this narrative was manufactured." PRESIDENT SENDING TROOPS TO DEMOCRATIC-LED CITIES Trump has already sent the National Guard to police Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., and has said he would send troops to several other cities. Earlier on Saturday, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, a Democrat, said in a social media post that Trump was preparing to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago over his objections. The Portland lawsuit was filed by Democratic Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield on September 28, a day after Trump said he would send troops to Portland to protect federal immigration facilities from "domestic terrorists." Oregon had asked the court to declare the deployment illegal and block it from going forward, saying Trump was exaggerating the threat of protests against his immigration policies to justify illegally seizing control of state National Guard units. Oregon's lawsuit said Trump announced the troop deployment after Fox News showed video clips from "substantially larger and more turbulent protests" in Portland in 2020. The state argued that Trump's deployment violates several federal laws and the state's sovereign right to police its own citizens. Trump's decision to send troops only to "disfavored" Democratic cities like Portland also violates the state's rights under the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, according to the lawsuit. JUDGE SAYS TRUMP CANNOT IGNORE THE FACTS ON THE GROUND Immergut said on Saturday that Oregon was likely to succeed on its arguments that Trump illegally called up the National Guard and violated Oregon's rights under the 10th Amendment. Although the president must be given "a great level of deference" in military decisions, Trump cannot ignore the facts on the ground, Immergut wrote. Accepting Trump's legal arguments would mean that he could "send military troops virtually anywhere at any time" and "risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power - to the detriment of this nation," she added. The lawsuit is the latest legal challenge to Trump's deployments of military forces to Democratic-led cities, including Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., which he has said were overrun with crime and hostile to immigration enforcement. State and local Democratic leaders have disputed those claims and accused Trump of violating longstanding U.S. laws and norms against using the military for domestic law enforcement. A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from using the military to fight crime in California on September 2, but that ruling is on hold while the administration appeals. Washington, D.C.'s Democratic attorney general filed a lawsuit on September 4 to end Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in the nation's capital. A judge has yet to rule on the request.

DHS says officers in Chicago fired at driver who 'rammed the law enforcement vehicle'New Foto - DHS says officers in Chicago fired at driver who 'rammed the law enforcement vehicle'

Federal agents shot at a woman after she rammed a law enforcement vehicle in Chicago, according to the Department of Homeland Security, amid escalating anti-ICE protests and the Trump administration's efforts toclamp downon unrest in Democrat-led cities. Officers fired "defensive shots" at an armed American woman after she – along with the drivers of at least 10 other vehicles – rammed and boxed in officers, Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary, said in apost on X. "Agents were unable to move their vehicles and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon," McLaughlin said in her post. "Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds." The armed woman was recently named in an intelligence bulletin last week "for doxing agents and posting online," McLaughlin said. The woman has not been named, and her condition was unclear Saturday. McLaughlin did not provide details on which agency the officers who opened fire are part of. Law enforcement also deployed gas canisters at the protesters, according to footage from Reuters. The footage shows protesters screaming, running, and shielding themselves. "This is Brighton Park, this is not a war zone," one woman told a journalist. No officers were seriously hurt in the incident, said McLaughlin, who also accused local police in Chicago of leaving the scene. "Pritzker's Chicago Police Department is leaving the shooting scene and refuses to assist us in securing the area," McLaughlin said. "There is a growing crowd and we are deploying special operations to control the scene." The Chicago Police Department said they "responded to the scene to document the incident" and "maintain safety and traffic control for all living and working in the area," but aren't involved in the investigation. CNN has reached out to Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker for comment. The incident follows protests across Chicago sparked by a large-scale immigration enforcement campaign dubbed "The Midway Blitz Operation" by DHS. Demonstrations have concentrated on the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility near Chicago. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem spent part of Friday on the rooftop of the controversial facility, surrounded byarmed agents and a camera crew, according to CNN affiliate WLS. The campaign has included amassive overnight raidcarried out by federal authorities at a Chicago apartment building earlier this week, which triggered condemnation from Democratic lawmakers and terrified residents. One neighbor called the raid a military-style "invasion" and described seeing a Black Hawk helicopter overhead. Adults and children alike were pulled from their apartments, crying and screaming during the raid, which led to the arrests of 37 undocumented immigrants. US citizens were arrested too, and immigrant parents were separated from their US citizen children, who were taken into custody by DHS. As protests grew against the immigration enforcement action, law enforcement has used force and tear gas against demonstrators, including lawmakers. Daniel Biss, the mayor of Evanston, Illinois, who is also running for Congress, said he was teargassed at a protest outside Broadview andcalled the experience"terrifying." Kat Abughazaleh, a former journalist alsorunning for Congress, was pushed to the ground by a federal law enforcement agent in a camouflage uniform wearing a full facecovering, sunglasses and a helmet during the same protest, video byCNN affiliate WBBMshowed. After a protest Friday, Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes said she was handcuffed in a hospital emergency room during a confrontation with two men, whom he said were ICE agents. Neither were wearing badges. At a protest outside Broadview Saturday, five people were arrested, according to the Cook County Sheriff's Office. All were arrested by Illinois State Police for "resisting/obstruction," the sheriff's office told CNN. On Saturday, the White House announced the president had authorized 300 members of the Illinois National Guard to "protect federal officers and assets" in Chicago, a move President Donald Trump has been promising for weeks. "Amidst ongoing violent riots and lawlessness, that local leaders like Pritzker have refused to step in to quell, President Trump has authorized 300 national guardsmen to protect federal officers and assets," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told CNN. "President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities." US Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, decried the move, saying, "Terrorizing families with midnight raids and military troops in our streets is writing a shameful chapter in our nation's history" in a statement. "This President is not intent on fighting crime. He is intent on spreading fear." It is a strategy the presidentfirst executed in Los Angeles and Washington, DC, and is now vowing to repeat in other Democrat-led cities across the country – whether local lawmakers agree or not. Before the president deployed National Guard troops to quell anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, ithad been over half a centurysince a president federalized National Guard troops against the wishes of a state's governor. Pritzker said he will not call up the National Guard and criticized federal immigration agents' operations in the city, saying they aresowing fearinstead of providing safety. Before the deployment was officially announced, Pritzker said, "This morning, the Trump Administration's Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will." Following the shooting, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said she is sending "more special operations" to the scene. DHS declined to clarify what groups the "special operations" deployment would entail, citing safety concerns. CNN has reached out to the White House for comment. "Today in Chicago, members of our brave law enforcement were attacked—rammed and boxed in by ten vehicles, including an attacker with a semi-automatic weapon. I am deploying more special operations to control the scene. Reinforcements are on their way. If you see a law enforcement officer today, thank them," Noemposted on X. In response to the incident and others in Chicago, the FBIsaidit and its federal partners will "continue to aggressively pursue charges and investigate violence against officers, obstruction of justice, and destruction of federal property." Correction: An earlier version of this story misidentified Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood. CNN's Alejandra Jaramillo, Sarah Dewberry, and Brad Parks contributed to this report.

Germany's Munich Airport reopens after 2nd drone-related closure in 24 hoursNew Foto - Germany's Munich Airport reopens after 2nd drone-related closure in 24 hours

Germany's Munich Airport reopened Saturday morning after authorities shut it down the night before for the second time in less than 24 hours after two additionaldrone sightings, officials said. An airport in Lithuania also later closed for several hours overnight Saturday due to a possible sighting of balloons. The closures are the latest after mysterious drone overflights in the airspace of European Union member countries. The airport, one of Germany's largest, reopened gradually beginning at 7 a.m. local time on Saturday. Planes typically begin taking off at 5 a.m. Federal police said two drone sightings were confirmed shortly before 11 p.m. Friday near the airport's north and south runways, the agency said in a statement Saturday. The drones flew away before they could be identified. Delays were expected to continue throughout Saturday, the airport said in a statement. At least 6,500 passengers were impacted by the overnight closure from Friday into Saturday. The previous closure, Thursday night into Friday, affected almost 3,000 passengers. Authorities were not immediately able to provide any information about who was responsible for the overflights. Meanwhile, Lithuania's main airport also briefly closed for several hours overnight Saturday into Sunday due to a "possible series of balloons," Agence France-Presse reported. Vilnius International Airportsaid in a Facebook postthat it had received official information at 10:16 p.m. local time on Saturday that air traffic was being temporarily suspended. It was unclear where the balloons originated from and whether they were located or identified. The airport later announced that its airspace had reopened at 4:50 a.m. local time Sunday. The incidents were the latest in aseries of incidents of mysterious drone sightingsover airports as well as other critical infrastructure sites in several European Union member countries.Drones were also spotted overnight in Belgiumabove a military base. Last weekend, the Danish defense ministry said that "drones have been observed at several of Danish defense facilities" overnight Friday into Saturday. Therenewed drone sightingscome after there were several drone sightings in the Nordic country earlier this week, with some of them temporarily shutting down Danish airports. A drone incident in Oslo, the capital of Norway, which is a NATO member but not part of the EU, also affected flights there late last month. It wasn't immediately clear who has been behind the flyovers. European authorities have expressed concerns that they're being carried out by Russia, though some experts have noted that anybody with drones could be behind them. Russian authorities have rejected claims of involvement, including in recent drone incidents in Denmark. Alexander Dobrindt, Germany's interior minister, said he and some European counterparts would discuss the drone incursions and a "drone detection and defense plan" at a meeting this weekend in Munich. "We are in a race between drone threat and drone defense. We want to and must win this race," he said in the western city of Saarbrücken, where he joined German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron at a ceremony to mark the 35th anniversary of Germany's reunification.

Maxwell Brown Speaking exclusively with PEOPLE at the party, Johnson and Troast opened up about the realities of being fired from the long-running show. Troast, 28, says that while the show "fundamentally changed" her life, she's found it "really hard" adjusting after herSNLstint. "You don't get a cushion when you fall," she says, noting that she's thankful she's had the support of her family and close friends. "Even before the show, they were the ones that were a guiding light, and so then that's what I looked to after. And I feel like without that, I don't know where I would be one year out, to be honest," Troast tells PEOPLE. Maxwell Brown As for Johnson, who spent four seasons at Studio 8H, she tells PEOPLE thatSNL"mad put the pressure on you" and that "you can't leaveSNLand then go do the same things you was doing before." "It just put the pressure on you because everybody always like, 'Yo, what's next? What's next?' So you feel like you have to go do the next big thing," she explains.

"I feel like I could go out in Hollywood and handle anything because I handled every piece of adversity that went on in that building," Johnson tells PEOPLE.

"Me and the show did three years together, and sometimes it was really cool. Sometimes it was toxic as hell," he wrote in apost. "But we did what we made the most of what it was, even amidst all of the dysfunction. We made a f----- up lil family." Mike Coppola/NBC via Getty Wakim, 27, admitted that learning he wouldn't be returning for season 51 was a "gut punch" but he called his one-season run "the most terrifying, thrilling and rewarding experience of my life" onInstagram.

Travis Kelce's Ex Kayla Nicole Seemingly Reacts to "The Life of a Showgirl" After Taylor Swift Appears to Shade Her on New Song

John Lamparski/Getty; Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott Kayla Nicole has seemingly reacted to the release of Taylor Swift's new album,The Life of a Showgirl She shared a clip on social media fromAmerica's Next Top Model, in which contestant Eva Marcille said, "I don't compare myself to other girls" Fans speculated that Swift's track "Opalite" — which appears to reference one of her fiancé Travis Kelce's exes — was a dig at Nicole, who dated the athlete for roughly five years before his relationship with the pop star IsKayla Nicolereacting toTaylor Swift'snew album,The Life of a Showgirl? As soon as Swift, 35, dropped her 12th studio album on Friday, Oct. 3,fans started to speculatethat the track "Opalite" was a dig at Nicole, who dated Swift's fiancéTravis Kelcefor roughly five years, beginning in 2017. On the song — which appears to describe Swift's previous failed relationships before she started dating Kelce, 35 — the Grammy winner seems to describe the athlete's love life before she came into the picture. "You couldn't understand it, why you felt alone / You were in it for real, she was in her phone and you were just a pose," sings Swift in an apparent nod to Kelce's romance with Nicole, 33. "And don't we try to love love? We give it all we got / You finally left the table, and what a simple thought / You're starving 'til you're not." In apost on her Instagram Storieson Oct. 3, Nicole shared a clip from an episode ofAmerica's Next Top Model, in which contestantEva Marcillewas asked byTyra Banks, "How do you compare yourself to the other girls out there?" and responded, "I don't compare myself to other girls ... I'm no comparison to anyone else." Mert Alas & Marcus Piggot Swift has never publicly addressed Nicole's former flame with Kelce.

"But publicly, because things are happening so quickly and so publicly, I have to protect myself. That's really all that is. The love is still there." During Nicole's first public appearance after Swift and Kelceannounced their engagementin August, she shut down a question by theDaily Mailasking her to comment on the news. She insteadtold PEOPLEat the event that the biggest lesson she had learned in 2025 was that "the opinions of others are only as big as you make them." "So if I don't allow it to affect me, it simply won't," Nicole added. "You know what I mean? Sometimes on social media, we think that it's the whole world, and it's really not."

Bad Bunny Has Been Running 2025 Since the Start. He Was the Only Choice for the Super Bowl LX Halftime ShowNew Foto - Bad Bunny Has Been Running 2025 Since the Start. He Was the Only Choice for the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show

Monica Schipper/Getty Bad Bunny has one of the top 5 best-selling albums of 2025, to date, withDeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS DTMFwas released on Jan. 5, 2025, leading to a world tour, Puerto Rican residency, and more On Sunday, Sept. 28, the NFL announced Bad Bunny, 31, as the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show performer Bad Bunnyis brilliant, and this is his moment to shine. To say the artist has taken over 2025 is an understatement. For his legion of devoted fans,DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToSwasn't an introduction to greatness, but a celebration of a career's journey that began over a decade ago. DTMF was released on Jan. 5, 2025, delivering a mix of emotional songs, hits to make you dance, and tracks that only Bad Bunny, 31, could deliver, all wrapped up in a celebration of the beauty, history and musical stylings of Puerto Rico. Not only did critics applaud the range of the artist, first introduced to many English-speaking audiences through his 2018 collaboration withJ BalvinandCardi Bon "I Like It," but fans praised the evolution of Bad Bunny and celebrated the curated experience the album delivered, including a short film, visuals centered aroundan adorable coquí. Never miss a story — sign up forPEOPLE's free daily newsletterto stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Kevin Mazur/WireImage For the second year in a row, the Super Bowl Halftime Show has chosen an artist that's generating buzz in the moment. Bad Bunny, born Benito Martínez Ocasio, has had undeniable buzz. The multitalented artist appearedat the 2025 Met Gala, showing off his sense of style once again after serving as one of the cochairs in 2024. And everyone was most certainly paying attention when hestripped down to his underwear for a Calvin Klein adin the Spring. Bad Bunny's historic residency — No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí (I Don't Want to Leave Here) — kicked off in July. According toVariety, more than 2.5 million people registered for the online pre-sale. Additionally, Move Concerts, which is run by Bad Bunny's manager Noah Assad, calculated that 400,000 tickets were sold online and in person. The 30-night residency took place at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, with star-studded crowds showing up from Friday to Sunday, every weekend from mid-July through mid-September. Kevin Mazur/Getty Further, he's gotten to know Americans following every corner of culture, just because he's everywhere. He's appeared as a musical guest onSaturday Night Livethree times since 2021, most recently during the finale of the show'smilestone season 50and has made several cameos in a variety of sketches. On Oct. 4, he'll take on hosting for the second time. He was also in this summer's favorite,Happy Gilmore 2, alongsideSNLalumAdam Sandler, playing an enthusiastic caddy and further showcasing his comedic chops. On the set, he palled around withTravis Kelce— enough so that Swifties are hopeful he may bringTaylor Swiftout during his hosting gig, just over a day after she dropsThe Life of a Showgirl. Despite all of these achievements — the kind of year that's reminiscent of Kendrick Lamar's 2024, which landed him on theSuper Bowlstage — there's a contingent that's not thrilled with the choice. Mind you, Bad Bunny's not even a stranger to the Super Bowl Halftime Show stage. He made an appearance whenJennifer LopezandShakiraheadlined in 2020. On the subject of other headliners, I'd be remiss not to note that there has been backlash to quite a few in recent years — Kendrick;Dr. Dre,Eminem,Mary J. BligeandSnoop Doggat Super Bowl LVI in 2022; Lopez and Shakira in 2020. EvenKaty Perry,Lady GagaandBeyoncéherself could not please everyone. If we're being honest, it's been a long, long time since there's been a universally popular Halftime Show pick. We can debate the reasons for that ad infinitum, but it is what it is. Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Bad Bunny has had the kind of year that generates lots of fans and, by nature, a lot of haters. Haters can't detract from what Bad Bunny means to Latinos, to Puerto Ricans, and to fans of beautiful bodies of music. With this album and latest turn in his career, he continues to welcome people in — to celebrate a culture that may not be their own, but holds beauty and value and relatable qualities for so many. As an artist, he succeeds in not only making his world welcoming for others, but making others feel more welcome in a world that should feel their own. Just one scroll through TikTok will tell you that countless "no sabo" kids — those who grew up not being taught the Spanish language as a means to assimilate into English-speaking countries — have been inspired to learn by his lyrics. There are endless translations of the lyrics to English for audiences who are following the raw sounds of his tracks before understanding their depth. The album also succeeded in getting people talking about Puerto Rico, whether that's debating the value of statehood or discussing what it means to be American in the different areas that encompass our nation. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Benito Antonio (@badbunnypr) Benito summarized the enormous feelings of pride and excitement in this moment in his own words as he celebrated the announcement, sharing, "What I'm feeling goes beyond myself. It's for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL." You can disagree with the choice, but the bottom line is, you can't be surprised by it. Each of us has the freedom to tune out, to get up and do something else for a little while on game day if this isn't the show you're looking for. As for me, I will be tuned in and turnt up, ready to celebrate with mi gente, my fellow Americans. Read the original article onPeople

Trump-appointed judge blocks National Guard deployment to Portland, OregonNew Foto - Trump-appointed judge blocks National Guard deployment to Portland, Oregon

A federal judge temporarily blocked PresidentDonald Trumpfrom deploying 200 Oregon National Guard troops to the city of Portland, Oregon, in response to a lawsuit on Saturday, Oct. 4, according to Reuters and CNN. The ruling came fromTrump-appointed U.S. District Judge Karin Immergutin Portland, a Republican, as Trump has sought to dispatch the military to cities he describes as lawless over the objections of their Democratic leaders. Democratic Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield's office filed the lawsuit on September 28, a day after Trump said he would send troops to Portland to protect federal immigration facilities from "domestic terrorists." President Donald Trumpsaid he is sending troops to Portland, Oregon, to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, inthe latest deploymentof forces to a U.S. city. The move followsweeks of protests outside ICE's field officein South Portland opposing Trump's mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.U.S. Border Patrol Agents detain a demonstrator during a protest outside of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters in south Portland, Oregon, October 3, 2025. In a Sept. 27 post on Truth Social, Trump said he directed Secretary of WarPete Hegsethto "provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists." He added he authorized the military to use "Full Force, if necessary." Lawyers from the Oregon attorney general's office had told federal officials that the Portland protests were "small and sedate," resulting in only 25 arrests in mid-June and no arrests in the three-and-a-half months since June 19. Oregon's lawsuit said that Trump announced the troop deployment after Fox News showed video clips from "substantially larger and more turbulent protests" in Portland in 2020. The stark divide in how the two sides described the situation on the ground in Portland was evident at a court hearing before Immergut on Oct. 3. Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek said she made it "abundantly clear" in recent conversations with Trump and Homeland Security SecretaryKristi Noemthat the city and state "can manage our own local public safety needs." Caroline Turco, an attorney for Portland, said that there had been no violence against ICE officers for months and that recent ICE protests were "sedate" in the week before Trump declared the city to be a war zone, sometimes featuring less than a dozen protesters. "The president's perception of what is happening in Portland is not the reality on the ground," Turco said. "The president's perception is that it is World War Two out here. The reality is that this is a beautiful city with a sophisticated police force that can handle the situation." Portland's lawsuit is the latest legal challenge to Trump's deployments of military forces to Democrat-led cities, including Los Angeles and Washington. Earlier in the day, the Trump administration told Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker of their plans tofederalize 300 members of the Illinois National Guard. Pritzker said he would be defying the suggestion. "I will not call up our National Guard to further Trump's acts of aggression against our people," he said. "Illinois, we will do everything within our power to look out for our neighbors, uphold the Constitution, and defend the rule of law." The president deployed800 National Guardtroops to Washington, DC, on Aug. 11, declaring a public safety emergency.
