From the Rio Grande Valley in Texas to San Diego and Tijuana, many migrants gathered along some sections of the U.S.-Mexico border questioned when or whether they would cross into the United States to seek asylum once pandemic-related restrictions known as Title 42 ended.Some migrants who had traveled from Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Central America feared it could be harder for them to stay on U.S. soil with the restrictions lifted.Here are some of the stories from along the 1,950-mile (3,140-kilometer) international boundary:___ Aylin Guevara, 45, hurried her steps as she walked through the scorching desert of Ciudad Juarez toward the border.She was accompanied by her two children, ages 16 and 5, and her husband.

Dior will continue to sell men on the idea that they can smell like Johnny Depp, inking a massive, $20 million deal with the actor, a year after his reputation was put on trial in a lurid defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard, who had accused him of being an abusive husband.The French luxury house may feel that its support of Depp has been vindicated by the actor’s victory in his defamation lawsuit. So, possibly for that reason, Dior is rewarding Depp with a three-year fragrance deal “at upwards of $20 million,” Variety reported. This deal marks the highest ever pact for a men’s fragrance, Variety added. It eclipses Robert Pattinson’s $12 million deal to serve as a spokesperson for Dior Homme and is nearly three times the $7 million that Brad Pitt received to promote Chanel No. 5.Since 2015, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star has served as the face of Dior Sauvage, with an ad campaign that “leaned into his image as a wild rocker,” Varie...Months after storm damage, East County’s only roller rink will reopen

By Valerie Gonzalez, Elliot Spagat and Giovanna Dell’Orto | Associated PressEL PASO, Texas — The border between the U.S. and Mexico was relatively calm Friday, offering few signs of the chaos that had been feared following a rush by worried migrants to enter the U.S. before the end of pandemic-related immigration restrictions.Less than 24 hours after the rules known as Title 42 were lifted, migrants and government officials were still assessing the effect of the change and the new regulations adopted by President Joe Biden’s administration to stabilize the region.“We did not see any substantial increase in immigration this morning,” said Blas Nunez-Neto of the Department of Homeland Security. He said the agency did not have specific numbers because it was early in the day.Migrants along the border continued to wade into the Rio Grande to take their chances getting into the U.S. while defying officials shouting for them to turn back.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Gimena Páez could barely pay her bills.Then inflation in Argentina started rising even faster. The value of the country’s currency plunged, making most goods nearly unobtainable. Getting enough food for herself and her 11-year-old daughter became a daily struggle.Inflation has been a problem across the world but Argentina is second in a World Bank ranking of countries with the highest food inflation. On Friday, Argentina’s state-run INDEC statistics agency said that the inflation in food prices over the 12 months ending in April was 115%. That has been topped only by Lebanon, with a whopping 352%.Life was never easy for the neighbors of Nueva Pompeya, a lower-middle-class neighborhood where Páez lives at the southern end of Argentina’s capital. These days, for many in Argentina, paying bills and getting to the end of the month have taken a backseat to a more basic problem: getting enough to eat.Argentina’s annual inflation rate has already ...Wisconsin middle-schooler killed by swerving pickup while waiting to board school bus
