A federal judge in New Hampshire has issued a ruling pausing President Donald Trumpòòò½ÊÓƵ™s executive order ending birthright citizenship from taking effect anywhere in the United States. The judge issued a preliminary injunction Thursday blocking Trump's order and certified a class action lawsuit including all children who will be affected. The judge announced his decision, which includes a seven-day stay to allow for appeal,  after an hourlong hearing. The ruling puts the birthright citizenship issue on a fast track to return to the Supreme Court.
Italian confectioner Ferrero, known for brands like Nutella and Kinder, is buying the century-old U.S. cereal company WK Kellogg in a deal valued at approximately $3.1 billion. Kellogg was founded in Battle Creek, Michigan, in 1906. It makes Froot Loops, Special K, Frosted Flakes and Rice Krispies. Kellogg has been struggling with falling U.S. cereal consumption as consumers opt for protein bars and other products. But industry watchers say its large distribution network and relations with grocers are appealing to Ferrero. The deal still needs the approval of WK Kellogg's shareholders.

U.S. military troops and federal immigration officers have made a brief but mighty show of force at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles.

The park is a community hub in a largely immigrant neighborhood. Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom called it a political stunt and spectacle meant to intimidate the cityòòò½ÊÓƵ™s immigrant communities. The Department of Homeland Security says it does not discuss its operations and declined to comment.
