    President Trump's special counsel, Michael Cohen, admitted that he paid $130,000 to porn-star Stormy Daniels last fall but said that he used his own money, "neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction," and neither reimbursed him for payment.

  • "Federal immigration authorities have specifically targeted prominent and outspoken immigrant rights activists across the country on the basis of their speech and political advocacy," states a new lawsuit against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), filed by activist Ravi Ragbir.
  • Raphael Sanchez, ICE's former chief counsel in Seattle, has been indicted for allegedly stealing immigrant identities.
  • A former employee of Vice media is suing the company over an alleged pay disparity in men and women's salaries.
  • The city of Berkeley, California, has declared itself a sanctuary city for marijuana use.
