Trump admin blocked from ending Temporary Protected Status for Afghan nationals
A federal appeals court temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security on Monday from terminating Temporary Protected Status for roughly 75,000 Afghan nationals who were resettled in the United States following former President Joe Biden's disastrous military withdrawal from Afghanistan. In a Monday order, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wrote, 'The Court GRANTS the requested administrative stay of agency action regarding the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan until Monday, July 21, at 11:59 p.m.' Fox 17 reported that the decision by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to temporarily block the Trump administration's termination of Temporary Protected Status for Afghan nationals gives the court additional time to consider the case. According to Fox 17, the Biden administration granted Afghanistan Temporary Protected Status in 2022 following the U.S. military's disastrous withdrawal from the country after the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan. Under the administration's Temporary Protected Status program, tens of thousands of Afghan nationals have been protected against deportation to Afghanistan due to humanitarian concerns in the country.

We've reviewed the conditions in Afghanistan with our interagency partners, and they do not meet the requirements for a TPS designation. Afghanistan has had an improved security situation, and its stabilizing economy no longer prevent them from returning to their home country.' At the time, Noem explained that the termination of the Temporary Protected Status program for Afghan nationals 'furthers the national interest as DHS records indicate that there are recipients who have been under investigation for fraud and threatening our public safety and national security.' The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Monday that the Trump administration is required to provide a response to the court's emergency motion by Wednesday and that CASA, Inc., the organization that filed the lawsuit against the Trump administration, must provide a response by Thursday.

Felon leads cops on 4-hour long slow motion chase with speeds of 7 mph in stolen car
A police chase went at a snail's pace early Tuesday morning when an armada of cop cars – their sirens blaring and their lights flashing – followed a fleeing felon in Tennessee at speeds as slow as 7 mph, authorities said. Video captured by Fox17 shows the surreal scene as the fleeing suspect, Katlyn Wray, 28, putters along on apocalyptically empty highways in Nashville while a fleet of police cars crawls behind her. When officers finally caught up with Wray and asked why she didn't just pull over, she replied: 'I'm already on paper for ten years anyway,' according to reports. Advertisement Katlyn Wray was accused of causing a slow-speed police chase early Tuesday morning in Nashville. Metropolitan Nashville Police Department The dramatic but slow-as-molasses chase started just after 3 a.m. when Metro Nashville Police officers found Wray asleep behind the wheel of a stolen Nissan Altima, according to reports. As four officers approached, Wray woke up, threw the car in reverse and motored away, according to WTVF. Advertisement Officers laid out two sets of spike strips to catch her. Wray hit both of them, flattening her front and back tires, but that didn't stop her, according to reports. She continued to drive on the flat tires for nearly four hours while cops calmly pursued her – traveling at speeds anywhere from 7 mph to a whopping 15 mph, according to WTVF. Police helicopters hovering overhead joined in the surreal chase. Department policy prohibits Metro police from applying a PIT maneuver, a police tactic used to spin out a fleeing car, according to Fox 17. Instead, the Tennessee Highway Patrol was called in to execute the maneuver. Advertisement Police arrested Wray after a nearly four-hour chase. Texas Department of Transportation Video taken by Fox17 shows the trooper pitting Wray and officers putting her in handcuffs wearing a pair of pink shorts and a hot pink top. Wray is charged with two counts of vehicle theft, reckless endangerment and four counts felony evading arrest for Tuesday's super slow chase, according to reports. She was on probation for a November 2023 forgery conviction, and has an extensive criminal history including convictions for aggravated burglary, cocaine possession, criminal simulation and multiple theft convictions around Tennessee, according to reports.

Morgan Wallen worries 4-year-old son will 'think less' of him for Nashville arrest, struggle with alcohol
Morgan Wallen is addressing his chair-throwing incident in a new song dedicated to his 4-year-old son. In the lyrics, the country star reflected on the night he was arrested in Nashville, Tennessee, after he threw a chair off a rooftop bar in April 2024. Wallen, 31, took to Instagram to share his latest music project, a song titled "Superman," that he dedicated to his son, Indigo Wilder. "One day you're gonna see my mugshot/From a night when I got a little too drunk," he sang in a sample of his new track. "Hear a song about a girl I lost/From the times that I just wouldn't grow up/And when you ain't a kid no more/I hope you don't think less of me/I try to hide my falling short/But you're gonna see." Wallen continued to address his struggles with alcohol as he compared "that bottle" in his lyrics to Superman's kryptonite, which "Brings a man of steel down to his knees." "Don't always know my wrongs from right/Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy," his song continued. "No, I don't always save the day/But you know for you, I'll always try/I do the best I can/But Superman [is] still just a man sometimes." In the caption of his social media post, Wallen wrote, "Been trying for a long time to write a song I loved to my son." "None of them ever feel good enough because of how perfect I want something like this to be. And not saying this is perfect, but I am very proud of it. Here is a clip, It's called 'Superman,'" Wallen wrote on Instagram. Wallen shares his son Indigo with his ex-fiancée KT Smith. The couple welcomed him in July 2020. The "Love Somebody" singer's latest track comes after he pleaded guilty last year. The country star tossed a chair off the sixth floor of the Eric Church-backed bar Chief's in Nashville on April 7. Wallen was charged with two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment last year, according to Fox 17. Judge Cynthia Chappell sentenced the country music star to seven days at a DUI education center along with two years of supervised probation. His charges were reduced from felonies to misdemeanors during a hearing in December. Wallen's lawyer, Worrick Robinson, shared a statement with Fox News Digital at the time: "The plea agreement with the Office of the District Attorney requires Mr. Wallen to spend 7 days at a DUI Education Center, be on probation for 2 years – one year for each of the misdemeanor charges for reckless endangerment – pay a $350 fine and court fees. Upon the successful completion of his probation, the charges will be eligible for dismissal and expungement." At the time, Wallen was performing for his "One Night at a Time" tour. Earlier this year, the country singer announced his "I'm the Problem" tour. The singer-songwriter jumped back into touring with a 19-show stadium tour to support his fourth studio album with the same title. Wallen will have a rotating lineup of guests for the tour, including Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and Koe Wetzel.

Morgan Wallen fans left disappointed over country star's 'I'm the Problem' tour
Country fans were upset Morgan Wallen seemingly missed a few stops on his upcoming tour to support his fourth studio album. Wallen, 31, revealed he'll hit the road this summer on the "I'm the Problem" tour, but devoted followers were disappointed the "Last Night" singer only had a handful of dates slated around the country, as opposed to his last two-year "One Night At a Time" tour.

"Where is the east coast and the south on here?? VA, SC, GA, TN," one fan wrote after Wallen shared his new tour announcement. Another fan wondered the same, and wrote, "Where's the east coast!? The south!?!? Morgan you got some splainin to do!" "What is this tour schedule," another user questioned on Instagram. "Closest I've is a 9hr drive from ga. You better be adding more in the south." One fan wrote, "Only Wisconsin for the Midwest??? Shame. Minnesota sold out both your dates on the last tour." "NY dates!? Please tell me you're adding more dates," one Wallen fan wrote, while others worried about the price tag to attend a show. "Lower the price big dawg $600 is crazy," one fan wrote. Despite the complaints about locations, the "Whiskey Glasses" singer had thousands of people praising his name and waiting for the day they could see Wallen in concert. "Let this man throw as many chairs as he wants," one fan joked, alluding to Wallen's 2024 chair-throwing incident when he was arrested outside of Eric Church's Nashville bar. The "Chasing You" singer was "cooperating fully" with the investigation, a rep for the musician told Fox News Digital at the time. He was originally charged with disorderly conduct — a misdemeanor — and three counts of felony reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon. Wallen, who was charged with two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment, pleaded guilty, according to Fox 17. Judge Cynthia Chappell sentenced the country music star to seven days at a DUI education center, along with two years of supervised probation. Another Canadian fan begged, "Americans stay out of Toronto. This is our time. You have your own dates." "Stop the whiney nonsense," one fan wrote. "True fans travel!!! I'm excited to go just 5 hours over my 12 hour trip last year!" Wallen named his fourth studio album, "I'm the Problem," and the title track is set to be released Jan. 31. In the 10 years since he released his debut EP and became a professional singer-songwriter, Wallen has broken records left and right and earned acclaim among his peers in the country music community. "We made so many lifelong memories on the 'One Night at a Time World Tour,' and I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for my fans and the way they showed up each night," Wallen said in a statement. "As I've been working on new music, it has inspired me to get back on the road and share these new songs with each of you on the 'I'm the Problem Tour.' See y'all there." Fox News Digital has reached out to a rep for Wallen for comment.
