The Trump administration has transferred hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador even as a federal judge issued an order temporarily barring the deportations under an 18th century wartime declaration targeting Venezuelan gang members, officials said Sunday. Flights were in the air at the time of the ruling.U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg issued an order Saturday temporarily blocking the deportations, but lawyers told him there were already two planes with immigrants in the airone headed for El Salvador, the other for Honduras. Boasberg verbally ordered the planes be turned around, but they apparently were not and he did not include the directive in his written order.White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, in a statement Sunday, responded to speculation about whether the administration was flouting court orders: The administration did not refuse to comply with a court order. The order, which had no lawful basis, was issued after terrorist TdA aliens had already been removed from U.S. territory.The acronym refers to the Tren de Aragua gang, which Trump targeted in his unusual proclamation that was released Saturday.In a court filing Sunday, the Department of Justice, which has appealed Boasbergs decision, said it would not use the Trump proclamation he blocked for further deportations if his decision is not overturned.Trump sidestepped a question over whether his administration violated a court order while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday evening.I dont know. You have to speak to the lawyers about that, he said, although he defended the deportations. I can tell you this. These were bad people.Asked about invoking presidential powers used in times of war, Trump said, This is a time of war, describing the influx of criminal migrants as an invasion.Trumps allies were gleeful over the results.Oopsie . . . Too late, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, who agreed to house about 300 immigrants for a year at a cost of $6 million in his countrys prisons, wrote on the social media site X above an article about Boasbergs ruling. That post was recirculated by White House communications director Steven Cheung.Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who negotiated an earlier deal with Bukele to house immigrants, posted on the site: We sent over 250 alien enemy members of Tren de Aragua which El Salvador has agreed to hold in their very good jails at a fair price that will also save our taxpayer dollars.Steve Vladeck, a professor at the Georgetown University Law Center, said that Boasbergs verbal directive to turn around the planes was not technically part of his final order but that the Trump administration clearly violated the spirit of it.This just incentivizes future courts to be hyper specific in their orders and not give the government any wiggle room, Vladeck said.The immigrants were deported after Trumps declaration of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which has been used only three times in U.S. history.The law, invoked during the War of 1812 and World Wars I and II, requires a president to declare the United States is at war, giving him extraordinary powers to detain or remove foreigners who otherwise would have protections under immigration or criminal laws. It was last used to justify the detention of Japanese-American civilians during World War II.Venezuelas government in a statement Sunday rejected the use of Trumps declaration of the law, characterizing it as evocative of the darkest episodes in human history, from slavery to the horror of the Nazi concentration camps.Tren de Aragua originated in an infamously lawless prison in the central state of Aragua and accompanied an exodus of millions of Venezuelans, the overwhelming majority of whom were seeking better living conditions after their nations economy came undone during the past decade. Trump seized on the gang during his campaign to paint misleading pictures of communities that he contended were taken over by what were actually a handful of lawbreakers.The Trump administration has not identified the immigrants deported, provided any evidence they are in fact members of Tren de Aragua or that they committed any crimes in the United States. It also sent two top members of the Salvadoran MS-13 gang to El Salvador who had been arrested in the United States.Video released by El Salvadors government Sunday showed men exiting airplanes onto an airport tarmac lined by officers in riot gear. The men, who had their hands and ankles shackled, struggled to walk as officers pushed their heads down to have them bend down at the waist.The video also showed the men being transported to prison in a large convoy of buses guarded by police and military vehicles and at least one helicopter. The men were shown kneeling on the ground as their heads were shaved before they changed into the prisons all-white uniformknee-length shorts, T-shirt, socks, and rubber clogsand placed in cells.The immigrants were taken to the notorious CECOT facility, the centerpiece of Bukeles push to pacify his once violence-wracked country through tough police measures and limits on basic rights.The Trump administration said the president actually signed the proclamation contending Tren de Aragua was invading the United States on Friday night but didnt announce it until Saturday afternoon. Immigration lawyers said that, late Friday, they noticed Venezuelans who otherwise couldnt be deported under immigration law being moved to Texas for deportation flights. They began to file lawsuits to halt the transfers.Basically any Venezuelan citizen in the US may be removed on pretext of belonging to Tren de Aragua, with no chance at defense, Adam Isacson of the Washington Office for Latin America, a human rights group, warned on X.The litigation that led to the hold on deportations was filed on behalf of five Venezuelans held in Texas who lawyers said were concerned theyd be falsely accused of being members of the gang. Once the act is invoked, they warned, Trump could simply declare anyone a Tren de Aragua member and remove them from the country.Boasberg barred those Venezuelans deportations Saturday morning when the suit was filed, but only broadened it to all people in federal custody who could be targeted by the act after his afternoon hearing. He noted that the law has never before been used outside of a congressionally declared war and that plaintiffs may successfully argue Trump exceeded his legal authority in invoking it.The bar on deportations stands for up to 14 days and the immigrants will remain in federal custody during that time. Boasberg has scheduled a hearing Friday to hear additional arguments in the case.He said he had to act because the immigrants whose deportations may actually violate the U.S. Constitution deserved a chance to have their pleas heard in court.Once theyre out of the country, Boasberg said, theres little I could do.Cano reported from Caracas, Venezuela.Nicholas Riccardi and Regina Garcia Cano, Associated Press

These eye-catching glass cubes are by Articolo Studios, an Australian design studio. They're created by pouring molten glass into wooden molds whose surfaces have been gouged by hand to create the texture. The glass blocks are then integrated into the company's new Cubo line of lighting: "Cubo [is an] exploration in contrastsjuxtaposing precision machined materials with the soulful poeticism of the handcrafted, solidity with transparency, strong geometry, with textural chromatic refractions. The result is a collection of nine wall sconces and pendants that unite in concentric, geometric form yet offer a diversity of configurations and chromatic and textural light and shadow interactions." "The unadorned geometry of Cubo feels architectonic and grounded." The collection is due to be officially unveiled next month at the Salone.

You've surely jotted a sketch or notes on the back of a junk mail envelope. And there's a reason the "napkin sketch" is a trope among designers. Any flat sheet that will take ink is fertile ground for a designer when their dedicated sketchbook is in an inconvenient location.A company called Resketch, backed by design studio Skaaren Design, has noticed. Their mission is to find sources of perfectly good but discarded paper from various industries, then make notebooks and notepads out of them. To be clear, the sheets aren't blank, though they do have usable blank surface area. The company sources their paper from architecture firms, printers, schools and businesses. That means the paper bears the marking of architectural plans, maps, technical documents, misprinted lines and grids, et cetera. Rather than this being annoying, the company reckons the existing markings "can help unlock creativity with a sense of discovery and play by providing an unexpected and fluid medium that gently challenges you." You might wonder why they don't just use recycled paper. The reason is energy conservation. "Paper recycling is energy - and chemical-intensive," they write. "Worse, paper fibers break down after 5-7 cycles, eventually becoming waste.We rescue and reclaim paper BEFORE it hits the recycling or waste stream. We turn perfectly unused paper into one-of-a-kind notebooks that spark creativity. This means:Less waste - because we're using what already existsLess energy & chemicals - because we're skipping the recycling processMore creativity - because every page is unique, just like your ideas Would it be annoying, to have to sketch or take notes around existing printed marks? Maybe. Depends on if you're already used to sketching around the logos on junk mail and napkins.

Working professionals have long struggled with the ergonomic challenges of laptop use. Hours hunched over a screen positioned too low leads to neck strain, poor posture, and decreased productivity. Until now, the solution required carrying bulky laptop stands or permanently attaching foldable props to device bottoms, and neither option was particularly elegant for professionals on the move who value both functionality and aesthetics.Lenovo has addressed this common pain point with its newly introduced Origami X9 Sleeve, a clever solution that transforms from a protective case to an ergonomic stand in seconds. The sleeve, designed specifically for the brands X9 Accessory Ecosystem, offers a perfect fit for 14-inch Lenovo X9 notebooks while incorporating an ingenious origami-fold design that elevates the laptop to a more comfortable viewing angle when needed, then folds flat when its time to pack up and go.Designer: LenovoWhat sets the Origami X9 Sleeve apart from conventional laptop cases is its thoughtful engineering. The sleeve features non-slip textured surfaces that keep your device securely positioned during use, while hidden magnetic buttons maintain the stands stability. These design elements work together to provide users with better grip and control, ensuring their valuable technology remains safely in place whether theyre working at a coffee shop, airport lounge, or makeshift home office.Protection remains paramount in the Origami X9s design philosophy. Strategic padding in key areas shields the laptop from abrasion during transport, while the sleeves snug fit prevents unnecessary movement that could lead to damage. This protective approach extends beyond just physical safeguarding by enabling proper ergonomic positioning, the sleeve helps protect users from the physical strain associated with poor laptop positioning, a feature increasingly important as remote and mobile work becomes standard.Sustainability features prominently in the Origami X9 Sleeves construction. The inner materials utilize RPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate), repurposing plastic waste into functional, durable components. This eco-conscious approach continues with the packaging, which consists of a 100% PCC (post-consumer content) protective bag and Kraft paper belly band, minimizing environmental impact without compromising on presentation or protection during shipping.The sleeves origami-inspired design represents a significant advancement in mobile accessory functionality. Unlike traditional laptop stands that occupy additional space in a bag, or adhesive options that permanently alter device aesthetics, the Origami X9 integrates both protective case and ergonomic stand into a single, sleek solution. When folded into a stand configuration, the sleeve creates a stable platform that raises the screen to eye level, encouraging better posture and reducing strain during extended work sessions.For mobile professionals constantly transitioning between workspaces, the Origami X9 Sleeve eliminates the need to pack multiple accessories. The quick-transform design means users can go from protected transport to ergonomic workstation in moments, streamlining their setup process and reducing the mental friction associated with establishing productive workspaces in varied environments. This efficiency particularly benefits those who frequently change locations throughout their workday.The post Origami-inspired Lenovo Laptop Sleeve Transforms into an Ergonomic Stand first appeared on Yanko Design.

MacworldAs usual, Apple is expected to launch four new iPhone models this fall. Whats unusual is how much these models are likely to differ from one another in design terms, if the steady stream of leaks from credible sources is to be believed.The latest of these comes from Sonny Dickson, a respected albeit inconsistent leaker in the Apple rumorsphere. Dickson posted your first look at the iPhone 17 dummies to his Twitter/X account Sunday, and the images corroborate the theory that Apple will unveil an unprecedented three entirely different designs across the four handsets in late 2025.Sonny DicksonThe images purportedly show metal dummies of the four iPhone 17 models coming this fall. One is larger than the rest and has three rear camera lenses, and is obviously the iPhone 17 Pro Max (or possibly the Ultra); another is smaller and also has three lenses, and is obviously the 17 Pro. Yet another unit has two lenses and looks to be roughly the same size as the 17 Pro, and we can be fairly sure thats the standard iPhone 17.The remaining model, third from left in most of the images, we can assume is the so-called iPhone 17 Air or Slim. Its thinner than the rest, unsurprisingly, but also looks to be taller than the 17 and 17 Pro. (Its expected to have a 6.6-inch screen, sitting between the 6.1 and 6.9 inches of the smaller and larger iPhones respectively.) And it has only one camera lens on the rear, much like the iPhone 16e.Apple has never launched iPhones with one, two, and three lenses all at the same time, and this unusual variety is reflected in the devices chassis designs. The Pro models with their three lenses have these mounted in a large raised module that spans very nearly the full width of the phone, while the iPhone 17 has its two lenses in a slim vertical module that matches the look of the iPhone 16. Yet the 17 Air, unlike the iPhone 16e which has no camera module at all, has its single lens embedded in a long horizontal bar. It will be very obvious to the passer-by which of the new phones youve bought.This is all very interesting, but its important to be clear that this is additional evidence backing an existing theory rather than anything groundbreaking. Last month the YouTuber and leaker Jon Prosser proposed the idea of the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max having their cameras in an expanded module with little apparent purpose other than signaling ownership of the latest and greatest iPhones. Ten days later that appeared to be confirmed by the leak of CAD images showing the same pattern of module designs across the range that were looking at now.So while not new, its valuable nonetheless because it helps us to home in on the truth. You will hear a great many theories across the rumor cycle of an iPhone launch, and many will prove incorrect, either because the sources were bad or because Apple changed its mind. The longer a rumor is around, and the more sources corroborate, the more we can believe it. And with six months to go until we see the iPhone 17 in the flesh, this one is starting to look like the real thing.
