French President Emmanuel Macron is facing mounting backlash for showing support for film star Gérard Depardieu, who is accused of sexual assault and sexism.Former French President François Hollande on Thursday criticized Macron’s recent statements to the France 5 TV channel, in which he praised Depardieu’s contribution to filmmaking.“It was expected of the President of the Republic to talk about women, and not simply to say that Gérard Depardieu was a great actor,” Hollande told French radio France Inter. “He has made this cause the big deal of his five-year term and this is how he is dealing with the issue of Gérard Depardieu.”On Wednesday, Macron said he was a “great admirer” of Depardieu, a “great actor” who makes France “proud.” He also said he didn’t want Depardieu stripped of his Légion d’Honneur (Legion of Honor), the country’s highest order of merit.But his comments sparked ire in France.Depardieu was charged with rape in 2020...

(CNN) — A new law that makes entering Texas illegally a state crime is sowing confusion and uncertainty among undocumented migrants and mixed status families along the US-Mexico border, according to immigration advocates.Many of those advocates tell CNN they fear a wave of racial profiling as well as detentions and attempted deportations by state authorities when the law is expected to take effect in March.“There are a lot of unknowns about how this law will be implemented,” Houston immigration attorney Roberto Quijano said a recent town hall meeting about the law.Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed the measure, Senate Bill 4, into law on Monday, granting local law enforcement the power to arrest migrants and judges the ability to issue orders to remove them to Mexico, in a state where Latinos represent 40% of the population. “We have a lot of concerns about racial profiling and racism,” Ramona Casas...
