The Mavericks star Raul Malo fears deportation

The Mavericks frontman Raul Malo fears he could be deported from the US despite being born in Florida. The 59-year-old singer was born and raised in Miami by parents who had settled in the city after fleeing Cuba, but Raul is worried changes in the government policy could mean his mother might be stripped of her "naturalized citizenship" and it would leave him facing an uncertain future as he could be ruled an "illegal birthright citizen" and forced to leave the country of his birth. In a post on Instagram to mark America's Independence Day, Raul wrote: "Dear America, today is the day we celebrate you and what you used to stand for. "The words 'liberty and justice for all' have faded into a distant past. "To some of us those words were deeply personal. My family came here because of those words. I was born here because of those words. I have had an extraordinary life because of those words. "And now those words have lost their meaning. They are now abstract concepts used to inflict cruelty and suffering on the unsuspecting, the weak, the sick, the poor, the needy. We can add Purple Heart war veterans to that list as several have been deported already. This is America right now." He went on to add: "Some will tell me that I should leave the country or my favorite - 'shut up and sing'. (A statement so void of any sense that it is impossible to execute) "On the 'leaving' part … that may come true whether I want to leave or not. The way the new law stands my mother could be stripped of her naturalized citizenship, then my sister and I would be illegal birthright citizens and away we go. "As far as 'shut up and sing' well, clearly that's not happening. You see the thing is this is my country too. Always has been ... " Raul concluded: "As Lady Liberty's flame dims with every atrocity committed in her name We will not be afraid of the dark. We will find the light again ... "This isn't about politics anymore. It's about humanity. It's about all of us. We, the people. Happy Birthday America!!" The Dance the Night Away singer was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer last year and he previously admitted talking about his health problems gave him hope. He told NPR: "It has been a beautiful, really remarkable kind of journey. I went public with this as soon as we could, and it helped me deal with it as well. "You know, it helped me find strength to not fear it, but tackle it head on and continue to live your life. Continue doing what you are doing."

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are engaged, Entertainment News

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are engaged. The Levitating singer's fans spotted she was wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger in an Instagram post on Christmas Eve, and she's now confirmed the 35-year-old actor popped the question with a custom piece of jewellery he had made with the advice of her sister Rina and her best friends. Dua told the new issue of Britain's Vogue magazine: "Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting." Of her ring, she added: "I'm obsessed with it. It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well." However, the couple — who began dating in January 2024 — have yet to set a wedding date because of their busy work schedules. Dua, 29, said: "I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. "I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. "All of a sudden, I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'" Although Dua has seen people get engaged in the past, she had "never really understood the weight of it" but now she thinks committing to another person is "special". She said: "This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever — it's a really special feeling." The Dance the Night Away hitmaker is keen to have a family of her own but admitted she doesn't know when would be a "good time" because of the demands of her pop career. She said: "I'd love to have kids one day. But it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time — how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take. "I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children." Dua and Callum had "many Sliding Doors moments", where they were in the same place at the same time without realising, before being introduced to one another at the River Cafe in London. A year later, she was having dinner in Los Angeles with her friend Mustafa the Poet when "all of a sudden" Callum appeared. She thought: "Oh, it's that really hot guy from The River Cafe." During their conversation, the pair realised they both "just happened to be reading" Hernan Diaz's novel Trust. Asked if she feels they were destined to be together, she replied: "One thousand per cent." [[nid:718976]]
