Two months ago, Marisol Hernandez’s husband was gunned down by gangsters for refusing to work for them. For the pregnant 23-year-old, that was the last straw. She left her two children with her grandmother and decided to set off among thousands of other Honduran migrants in a bid to reach the United States. In her case, because she wants her next child to “be American.” She is far from alone. Dozens of pregnant women are among the migrants, now in Mexico, fleeing poverty and violence in their homeland in search of the American dream. But the hope that her unborn child will be American and “graduate in something, study, speak English, know about computers and things like that,” is being threatened by President Donald Trump’s apparent determination to abolish birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants and non-citizens. “It’s ridiculous.

Apple's event will take place in New York - Apple More Apple is about to reveal a slew of long-awaited updates to its iPads and Macs at a packed launch event in Brooklyn. We’re expecting a new budget MacBook Air, which will replace the MacBook Air that debuted in 2008. It will be a crucial moment for the Mac, which has been floundering a little as of late. Sales of Mac computers in the company’s last quarter were at their lowest for eight years. Apple does not rely on Macs nearly as much as it used to. But for a company that prides itself on perfection, the state of the current Mac lineup is less than ideal, especially given the product’s place in the company’s history. Apple could also launch an updated range to its iPads - with a new 11-inch iPad Pro.
