First such storm of fall could have wind gusts of 70mph in places, flooding and power outages, forecasters warn New York, Boston, and much of New England could face a weekend nor’easter storm with wind gusts of 70mph in places, and “significant” impacts including beach erosion, flooding, and power outages, forecasters warn. Effects from the season’s first such storm since Tuesday’s official start of fall could last through the weekend, especially if the system sits swirling off the coast, a scenario experts say is looking increasingly likely.

US appeals court rejects Trump's third-country deportation policy

BOSTON: A US federal appeals court rejected on Friday a policy adopted by the Trump administration that allows authorities to rapidly deport migrants to countries other than their own without giving them a chance to raise safety concerns. Ruling in a case that is likely headed to the Supreme Court, a three-judge panel of the Boston-based 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals largely upheld a February decision by a lower-court judge that declared the Department of Homeland Security's policy unlawful. The ruling came ⁠in a class-action lawsuit filed by migrants subject to deportation orders that has become a key test of what due-process protections the government must provide before removing people to countries with which they have no connection. "This decision confirms that due process and the protections Congress enacted against persecution and torture cannot be circumvented by putting someone on a plane to a country that ‌was never part of their removal proceedings," Trina Realmuto, a lawyer for the plaintiffs at the National Immigration Litigation Alliance, said. Under President Donald Trump, the administration has entered into a series of agreements that have allowed it to send more than 25,000 migrants to at least 29 third ‌countries, in many cases Mexico, according to Third Country Deportation Watch, a project run by Refugees ‌International and Human Rights First. The government is expected to appeal. Earlier in the case, the administration twice convinced the Supreme ‌Court to lift a preliminary injunction protecting migrants' due-process rights, ‌clearing the way for eight men to be deported to South Sudan. The administration has also carried out third-country deportations of people to nations including Uganda, Equatorial Guinea, Liberia and the Central African Republic. DHS General Counsel ‌James Percival posted on X that the policy remains in force because the 1st Circuit's decision is not ⁠yet in effect. "If you claim fear in your home country, DHS has the right to send you elsewhere," he said. Third-country deportations In March 2025, DHS adopted a policy aimed at addressing individuals who were subject to final orders of deportation but had been granted protections in immigration court against being sent back ⁠to their countries of origin. The ⁠policy would allow migrants to be sent to alternative countries if immigration authorities have credible diplomatic assurances they will not be persecuted or tortured there. The policy called for only minimal notice before a migrant could be sent to a third country that had not given ⁠the State Department such assurances. US District Judge Brian Murphy, an appointee of Democratic President Joe Biden, set aside the policy and concluded that it failed to protect migrants' due-process rights and could lead to their swift deportation to unfamiliar and potentially dangerous countries, without notice. On appeal, the Trump administration contended that Murphy's order, if left intact, would usurp its authority to execute potentially thousands of valid orders of deportation to third countries. But US Circuit Judge Seth Aframe, writing for Friday's panel, said Murphy adopted a "sensible" ‌interpretation of the immigration law requiring migrants be given a "meaningful" chance to raise any concerns before they are deported. "DHS's proposed interpretation would deny access to that protection to a substantial swath of noncitizens who are sent to third countries with no notice of their destination," Aframe wrote. "We decline to adopt such an interpretation." The panel included two Biden appointees, including Aframe, and a judge appointed by a Republican president. However, the 1st Circuit overturned one part of Murphy's ruling on procedural grounds. It concerned whether the government must first try to deport migrants to countries they have ties to before sending them to third countries.

Gene could raise lung cancer risk some 60 times: Study

WASHINGTON: Scientists have identified an inherited genetic mutation that can raise a person’s risk of developing lung cancer by about 25 times, according to a new study of more than 3.3 million people. Among nonsmokers, the increase is even more dramatic, with the gene raising lung cancer risk some 60 times. For the new study, researchers analysed data from more than 3.3 million people who sent off a DNA sample to the ancestry and genetics company 23andMe. The mutation, called eGFR T790M, turned up in about 1 of every 15,850 people. Carriers had roughly 25 times the odds of developing lung cancer compared with noncarriers. The risk was even higher in people who had never smoked, at about 62 times the odds, versus roughly 11 times among those who had ever smoked. "We’ve known about germline eGFR T790M [mutation] from individual patients and families for years, but the mutation is so rare that we needed to study millions of people to quantify just how strong that risk is,” says lead study author Jaclyn LoPiccolo, MD, PhD, an attending physician and lung cancer researcher at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. But Dr. LoPiccolo cautions against reading the odds as a prediction for any one carrier. "It does not mean someone will definitely develop lung cancer. The study does not yet provide a precise lifetime risk,” she says. The mutation occurs in a gene called eGFR, short for epidermal growth factor receptor, which is already known to play a role in many lung cancers, says Goldberg. "What makes this version unusual is that it’s inherited, or ‘germline,’ meaning it’s present in every cell in a person’s body from birth and can be passed down through a family,” she says. Researchers hope the findings could one day help identify people at high risk of lung cancer who don’t fit the traditional profile.
