Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defended the Biden administration's policy to allow up to 30,000 migrants to be flown into the U.S. each month as a "key element" of their border strategy, following a legal win. The policy, which survived a lawsuit, allows Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to fly directly into the U.S. as long as they meet certain criteria. Despite criticism and record encounters at the border, the administration maintains that the program is a safe and orderly way to address the migration crisis and urges migrants to use legal pathways.
Erika Jayne fired back at Jon Hamm after he called on her to return the $750K earrings her estranged husband Tom Girardi purchased for her using allegedly embezzled funds. Jayne surrendered the jewelry but recently scored a legal win when a court determined the earrings were not part of the estate impacted by Girardi's bankruptcy case. During an appearance on a podcast, Jayne criticized Hamm for not knowing the facts and said she had won on appeal. The controversy surrounding the earrings involves allegations of embezzlement and a court ruling that they should not have been remanded by the bankruptcy trustee.
