U.S. citizen detained for 3 years says he 'lost everything' and hopes to rebuild

René López says he still has nightmares about the three years he spentdetained in ICE custody.

"It's an experience I wouldn't wish on anyone," López said in an interview with Noticias Telemundo from his home in Alexandria, Virginia.

About a decade ago, immigration officials argued that the citizenship López obtained as a minor through his naturalized mother was not valid. This put him on a path to deportation because of a previous drug conviction when he was younger.

During those years, López always insisted that he was a U.S. citizen when he was questioned by ICE officers, his lawyers, judges and journalists.

"I came from El Salvador with permanent residency when I was 11 years old, and when my mother became a citizen, I was 16 years old, so I automatically obtained citizenship derived from my mother. That's how it was," he said.

According to the website of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services,derivative citizenship refers to the automatic acquisition of U.S. citizenshipby children under 18 years of age through the citizenship status of their parents and, under certain circumstances, by adopted children of U.S. citizens born abroad.

López was detained by ICE officials in January 2023 and was held at the Caroline Detention Facility in Bowling Green, Virginia. He was not released until Feb. 13 of this year after the 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appealsissued a rulingthat not only stopped his deportation, but also reaffirmed that he's a U.S. citizen.

"The court says in its decision that he has been an American citizen since 1998. That's why they are releasing him," said Benjamin Osorio, López's lawyer.

Neither ICE nor the Department of Homeland Security responded to requests for comment from Noticias Telemundo on López's case.

Why was a U.S. citizen detained by ICE?

López's arrest was the final step in a long process in which he had to fight the courts to try to have his citizenship recognized.

López came to the U.S. as a legal resident after his mom, a legal resident and a single mother, completed the paperwork to bring him from El Salvador in the early 1990s. When he was 16, his mother became a naturalized U.S. citizen and he automatically acquired derivative citizenship underTitle 8, Section 1432 of the U.S. Code,the law in effect at that time.

At age 20, López was convicted of drug offenses (in 2004 and 2005) and served a seven-year prison sentence. During his time in prison, he was visited by officials from DHS, who in 2009 determined that he had obtained U.S. citizenship through his mother.

"They came to see me in 2009 and declared that I was a citizen," López said in aninterview with Noticias Telemundo last year, while he was in custody.

After his release from prison in 2011, López rebuilt his life: He finished high school, learned electrical work, started his own company and spent more than a decade working, married and raising his children without further legal trouble.

However, in 2016, according to court papers and López's attorney, DHS changed its position, deemed him a legal resident but not a citizen and initiated removal proceedings because of his previous drug conviction.

From that time until his eventual immigration detention in 2023, López and his attorneys had been trying to prove he had legitimately acquired U.S. citizenship through his single mother.

The government argued that the Salvadoran constitution had eliminated legal distinctions between children born in or out of wedlock, meaning that deriving citizenship from his mother was not enough.

"He would have had to prove that his father was also naturalized, but apparently his father never had a relationship with him," said Charles Wheeler, a senior attorney with theCatholic Legal Immigration Network.

López said that in 2023, "one day I went to work and about eight immigration agents were waiting for me." The agents told him he wasn't a citizen, that he was still a legal resident with "aggravated felonies," and that he was now deportable.

The ruling that declares him a citizen

Last month, the 4th Circuitissued its decisionconcluding that López met the requirements of the law that governed derivative citizenship before its reform in 2001. The judges analyzed Salvadoran law on parentage and legitimation, as well as López's family history, to determine whether or not his biological father had "established paternity" in the required legal sense.

"They concluded that my father never established paternity and never made me a legitimate son, even though his name appeared on my birth certificate," López explained. Essentially, the court agreed that his mom had been his sole parent and legal guardian, so deriving U.S. citizenship from her alone had been legal.

Immigration attorney Enrique Espinoza recommends that people with parents who are U.S. citizens by naturalization or birth consult with a lawyer and, if possible, obtain formal proof of citizenship — such asthe N-600 certificateor a U.S. passport — before a misunderstanding turns into a crisis.

In fact, Espinoza said it's not uncommon for people to have acquired U.S. citizenship through their parents "and not know it — that really does happen."

'ICE should not detain U.S. citizens'

Following the recent court decision, López's legal team is focusing on obtaining all the necessary citizenship certification and pursuing some form of redress.

"We are going to sue the government. ICE should not detain American citizens," said Osorio, López's attorney. After three years in prison, López lost his business as an electrician.

"He has lost his job. He has lost a lot. We are going to try to recover his money," Osorio said.

"This has cost me dearly; I've lost everything. My family had to endure a very unpleasant experience because of my unjust arrest, even though they knew I was an American citizen," López said.

While his legal team continues working on his case, López says he is trying to return to a normal life and always carries a copy of the 4th Circuit's decision in case a police officer or federal agent arrests him again. His main goal is to rebuild his electrical company and resume working with the contractors who knew him before his arrest.

"I can't get that time back — what's lost is lost," López said. "Now I have to start over. I have many contacts who know that my dedication and honesty at work are 100% guaranteed."

During the long nights while he was detained, López began writing songs about his legal situation and what he saw in the detention centers. He wrote that his family kept him going as he fought the government, and that the "love of my family continues to wait for me."

Judge weighs New York Times bid to block policy limiting journalists' access to Pentagon

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Pentagon policy limiting journalists' access to the building is depriving Americans of vital information about U.S. military operations while the country isat war, a New York Times attorney argued Friday in urging a judge to block the new rules.

Pentagon Press Access

"It's more important than ever for the public to know as much as they can," Times attorney Theodore Boutrous told U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman during the first hearing for the newspaper's lawsuit against the Defense Department.

Friedman didn't immediately rule on whether to order the Pentagon to reinstate press credentials for reporters whowalked outof the building last October rather than agree to the new rules. But the judge's remarks suggested he was skeptical of key arguments in the government's defense of the policy.

Judge cites need for 'a variety of views'

Friedman, who was nominated to the bench by Democratic President Bill Clinton, suggested it is "more important than ever" for Americans to hear "a variety of views" about the activities of the federal government and its elected leaders.

"A lot of things need to be held tightly and secure, but openness and transparency allows members of the public to know what their government is doing," the judge said.

Justice Department attorney Michael Bruns said the credentialing policy reflects the government's "compelling interest" and its "statutory obligation" to protect national security information.

"This is not a trivial exercise," Bruns argued.

Friedman said he intends to issue "as prompt a decision as I can, because I know it's important for lots of reasons."

The Timessued the Pentagonand Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in December, claiming the credentialing policy violates the journalists' constitutional rights to free speech and due process.

Times spokesperson Charles Stadtlander said the U.S. attacks on Iran — and the resultingdeaths of American troops— "illuminate the public's right to access deep, impartial reporting on the details of the military actions happening as we speak."

"Today was an important opportunity for The New York Times's lawyers to make our case for the clear importance and public service of allowing journalists to report fully on the Pentagon," Stadtlander said in a statement.

The current Pentagon press corps comprises mostly conservative outlets that agreed to the policy. Reporters from outlets that refused to consent to the new rules, including those from The Associated Press, havecontinued reportingon the military from outside the building.

The AP, meanwhile, is awaiting a decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court of Appeals on itsseparate lawsuitagainst President Donald Trump's administration. The AP contends that Trump's team punished it by reducing its access to presidential events because the outlet hasn't followed the president's lead in renaming the Gulf of Mexico.

The Pentagon calls the policy 'common sense'

The Pentagon has argued that the policy imposes "common sense" rules that protect the military from the disclosure of national security information.

"The goal of that process is to prevent those who pose a security risk from having broad access to American military headquarters,"government attorneys wrote.

Times attorneys claim the policy is designed to silence unfavorable press coverage of Trump's administration.

"The First Amendment flatly prohibits the government from granting itself the unbridled power to restrict speech because the mere existence of such arbitrary authority can lead to self-censorship,"they wrote.

The Times argues that the Pentagon has applied its own rules inconsistently. The newspaper said Trump allyLaura Loomer, a right-wing personality who agreed to the Pentagon policy, appeared to violate its prohibition on soliciting unauthorized information by promoting her "tip line."

The government didn't object to Loomer's "general tip line" but concluded that a Washington Post tip line does violate its policy because it purportedly "targets" military personnel and department employees.

"It's mystifying," Boutrous said. "It just doesn't make any sense."

The judge asked Bruns, the government attorney, what standards are used to decide if a reporter poses a security risk.

"Don't there have to be some criteria that are applied in a uniform way?" Friedman asked.

Yes, Bruns answered. But he said the government has "far more leeway" to restrict speech in a secure forum like the Pentagon.

"The reason for the policy is the security of the Pentagon," he added.

Yale Law School professor David Schulz, who represents the Pentagon Press Association, said the challenged policy represents a "stark break from the past."

"The press has been in the building since the day it opened," Schulz told the judge. "It has always been there."

AP Media Writer David Bauder in New York contributed to this story.

Measles is 'worse than expected' in Utah, officials say

In southern Utah, a measles outbreak that's been simmering since last summer is showing signs of wider spread. Now, state health officials are pleading with residents totake the virus seriously.

"It is not a mild infection. It is not a mild virus. It is severe illness," Utah's state epidemiologist, Dr. Leisha Nolen, said at a news briefing Thursday.

She's hearing from people sick with the virus, as well as their caregivers, that "measles is so much worse than what they expected."

"A number of them clearly said if they had known, they would have vaccinated themselves and their children against measles, but they didn't realize how bad it was," Nolen said.

As of Friday,Utah had 358 casesin the outbreak, which began last June. It wasn't until August, however, that the outbreak took off. Most cases have been concentrated in the southwestern part of the state, linked specifically to a tight-knit community that borders Arizona. It'slargely composed of mostly former members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a sect of the Mormon church.

The outbreak has since expanded north to areas in and around Salt Lake City, particularly following large school athletic events.

This week, the TriCounty Health Department, which encompasses three counties in the northeastern part of the state, reported five measles cases. All patients had been exposed at a state wrestling tournament that was held three weeks ago, Feb. 13-14. It can take 21 days to develop symptoms of measles after an exposure.

Statewide, Nolen said that more than 120 people have gone to the emergency room over the course of the outbreak. Thirty-one people were hospitalized for at least one night, and three people were placed in the intensive care unit.

Nurse practitioner Amanda Jocelyn has seen more than a dozen measles cases in her practice in the southern part of the state.

"The children I am seeing in clinic with measles are very, very ill. And in several cases, their parents and their caregivers get ill as well," Jocelyn said at Thursday's briefing.

One person, she said, experienced what's known as an aplastic crisis, which is "when the bone marrow shuts down red blood cell production and the body becomes extremely anemic."

Another, an otherwise healthy young mother, Jocelyn said, was admitted to the intensive care unit with measles-induced hepatitis. Her liver had become severely inflamed.

As of Friday, the U.S. has logged 1,281 measles cases since Jan. 1, according to theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention. That's more than half of the total number of cases reported last year: 2,283.

Thirty states have reportedoutbreaks in 2026. The vast majority of cases are in kids and teenagers who have not received a measles vaccine. Twenty-three percent of cases have occurred in children younger than 5 years old, while older kids ages 5 through 19 account for 54% of cases, the CDC said. Ninety-three percent of people were unvaccinated.

As vaccine rates rise, outbreaks slow

In South Carolina, the site of thenation's largest measles outbreakin a generation, cases finally appear to be slowing. In the past week, the state only logged an additional six cases, bringing the total to 991.

During her weekly news briefing on Wednesday — the 23rd since the outbreak began last fall — state epidemiologist Dr. Linda Bell said residents have stepped up to get vaccinated.

In Spartanburg County, where the outbreak is concentrated, measles vaccinations were up 70% in February compared to the same time last year.

Measles-mumps-rubella vaccines, given in two doses around a child's first and fifth birthdays, provide 97% protection against the virus. That protection usually lasts a lifetime.

During outbreaks, babies 6 to 11 months old can be given an early extra shot. Since the outbreak began last fall, Bell said, more than 4,800 MMR doses have been given in this age group.

"The reason for that recommendation is because of serious complications that can occur in young children, for example, pneumonia," Bell said. "That's the leading cause of death for measles in children under the age of 5."

As soon as next week, three CDC epidemic intelligence officers will arrive in South Carolina to help analyze the massive amount of data the state has collected from the outbreak, Bell said. The goal is to have a better understanding of how the virus spreads in schools and the community, as well as how many people exposed to the virus ultimately get sick.

It's the first time that the state has requested this type of help from the CDC, she said.

While the South Carolina outbreak appears to be dwindling in cases, Bell said that she and her team remain on guard.

"Given the surge in cases we saw following the Christmas holidays, we remain concerned that another surge could occur following spring break," she said.

Measles infections usually start with symptoms similar to the flu or other common viruses: headache, fever, cough and runny nose. Jocelyn said that her measles patients had fevers up to 105 that lasted up to a week, accompanied by severe coughing.

Within days, patients tend to develop red, watery eyes and tiny white spots inside the mouth.

People who have measles are highly contagious during this phase, up to four days before the telltale splotchy red rash appears on the scalp, neck, trunk, arms and legs.

Spanish soccer team desperately seeking Madonna and her 36-year-old shirt

MADRID (AP) — Spanish soccer team Celta Vigo is desperately seeking Madonna as it goes in search of a 36-year-old soccer shirt the pop star wore during a 1990 concert at its Balaidos stadium.

Madonna appeared on stage wearing the club's blue colours during her Blonde Ambition tour in July 1990.

She delighted locals who claimed the material girl as one of their own and brought unexpected attention to defender Jose Manuel Espinosa, whose No. 5 shirt she wore.

However, the whereabouts of the cherished garment are unknown and, after searching fruitlessly for decades, Celta is asking the 67-year-old Madonna to help find it for the club's archive.

"Although ours was not the only football shirt you ever wore on stage, this iconic image has grown to shine differently as years have passed," Celta president Marián Mouriño Terrazo wrote in an open letter to the American icon.

"Over time we came to better understand what you stood for back then: questioning established norms and standing up to those who try to tell you what you can or cannot do. At our club we recognise ourselves in this line of thought. That is why we hold on to the hope of finding the garment you once wore.

"Do you have it? If you know where it may be, or if you would like to join us in the search to retrieve it, please contact us via private message."

The appeal caused a commotion on social media after it was published on Wednesday and the club doubled down before Friday's 2-1 home league defeat by Real Madrid, playing Madonna's songs before kickoff and putting her picture on the field and on social media.

Mouriño Terrazo told local media he was hopeful the repercussions would reach the pop star.

"I imagine that the letter reached Madonna and that she will reply," he said.

Madonna burst on the scene in 1983 with the hit Holiday and followed that with a run of top-10 hits that included "Like a Virgin"," Papa Don't Preach" and "Ray of Light."

She remains one of the most successful recording artists in history.

Bethenny Frankel ‘Keeps Calling and Emailing’ Bravo, Claims Insider

Some of us are old enough to remember whenBethenny Frankelcommitted herself to the "reality reckoning." She distanced herself fromThe Real Housewives of New Yorkand made it her life's mission to take downBravo.

The reckoning quickly lost steam, and she now spends most of her time on social media sampling different variations of chicken salad and rambling about conspiracy theories. The reality reckoning is a thing of the past, and allegedly, she's been angling to make her way back to Bravo. The bigwigs, however, aren't even remotely interested.

Bethenny Frankel is reportedly banned from ever returning to Bravo

Although Bethenny previously denounced all things Bravo, an insider close to the network spoke toRadar Online. They said that she's been pitching things to the network that have completely fallen on deaf ears.

"Bethenny keeps calling and emailing," the insider said. "But it's never going to happen."

Of course, some former Bravo stars have trashed the network and returned.Carole Radziwillhad a personal feud withAndy Cohen, but will return to the networkfor the upcoming RHONY Season 16. Similarly,NeNe Leakesaccused him of racism and filed a lawsuit against the network. She'll be back on our screens forReal Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th.

Bethenny, on the other hand? She's supposedly nowhere close tomaking things right with Andyand Bravo. The door is closed.

"Andy won't even say her name anymore," the source noted. "She's just 'margarita lady' to him."

Five years later, Bethenny is apparently really hoping to get back on reality TV. Sources close to her denied it, but let's be real. Does she really want to be a full-time TikToker? Probably not.

"Bethenny is passionate and wants to work again," another source added. "She really does love the business and just wants another shot, but the bridge has been burned beyond repair."

The Real Housewives of New Yorkis streaming on Peacock.

TELL US – DO YOU BELIEVE THE RUMOR THAT BETHENNY WANTS TO GET BACK ON BRAVO? DO YOU THINK IT COULD EVER HAPPEN, OR DID SHE BURN THE BRIDGE TOO FAR?

Met Opera beefs with Timothée Chalamet after his controversial comment about the performing arts

Timothée Chalamet drew criticism for suggesting that ballet and opera are disciplines that "no one cares about."

Key points

• The Metropolitan Opera posted a video highlighting the talents of the opera community with the caption "This one's for you, @tchalamet."

• Numerous actors shared their support in the Met Opera's comment section, including Sarah Hyland, Laura Benanti, and Jack Falahee.

The Metropolitan Opera is not pleased withTimothée Chalamet.

The official Instagram account for the storied institution responded to theMarty Supremestar's controversial comment suggesting that opera and ballet are disciplines that "no one cares about."

The Met Opera accountposted a videohighlighting the craftsmanship of set decorators, musicians, costumers, and more theatrical technicians on Thursday with the caption, "This one's for you, @tchalamet… 👀."

The video also included text on screen paraphrasing Chalamet's remark: "All respect to the opera (and ballet) people out there."

Chalamet drew criticism for acomment he made about ballet and operaduring a CNN/Varietytown hall interview with Matthew McConaughey, in which theCall Me By Your Nameactor discussed the possibility of theatrical moviegoing becoming a more niche medium of entertainment that is in constant need of salvation.

"I've done it myself — go on a talk show and go, 'Hey, we gotta keep movie theaters alive. You know, we gotta keep this genre alive,'" he said. "And another part of me feels like, if people wanna see it, likeBarbie, likeOppenheimer, they're gonna go see it and go out of their way to be loud and proud about it."

He continued, "And I don't wanna be working in ballet or opera, or, you know, things where it's like, 'Hey, keep this thing alive,' even though it's like, no one cares about this anymore."

Chalamet — whose mother, Nicole Flender, was a professional dancer who performed with the New York City Ballet — seemed to immediately recognize the impact of his words. "All respect to the ballet and opera people out there," he said. "I just lost 14 cents in viewership. I just took shots for no reason."

Entertainment Weeklyhas reached out to representatives for Chalamet for comment.

The Met Opera's post received several supportive comments from theatrical performers, including the Tony-winningGypsyactressLaura Benanti, who wrote, "He's gonna be singing a different tune when the live arts are all that's left after AI takes over. Oh wait. He's above singing a tune."

Meanwhile,How to Get Away With Murderstar Jack Falahee praised the Met's recent production ofThe Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. "I took myself to see Kavalier and Clay for my birthday a couple weeks ago. it absolutely rocked. bravo everyone!" he commented.

Modern FamilystarSarah Hyland, who has recently starred in the Broadway showsJust in TimeandThe Great Gatsby, also commented several clapping emojis in support of the Met's post.

Met Opera dancers Ana Luiza Luizi and Júnio Enrique, who share the popular Instagram account @thatbraziliancouple, also commented, "Nothing but respect for everyone who makes the magic happen."

The Met Opera wasn't the only institution to respond to Chalamet's comment. London's Royal Ballet and Opera alsoposted a similar videohighlighting its artists, which began with an audio clip of Chalamet's controversial remark before cutting to roaring audiences alongside text on screen saying, "We care."

The Royal Ballet and Opera also directly addressed Chalamet in the caption of its video. "Every night at the Royal Opera House, thousands of people gather for ballet and opera," the institution wrote. "For the music. For the storytelling. For the sheer magic of live performance. If you'd like to reconsider, @tchalamet, our doors are open."
