 Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine sentenced to three months in prison for probation violation in gang case NEW YORK - Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was sentenced Friday to three months in prison for violating the terms of his supervised release in a New York gang case, stemming from both an assault and drug possession. The 29-year-old Brooklyn artist, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, admitted to the violations in federal court in Manhattan. Judge Paul Engelmayer, who presided over the hearing, criticized Hernandez for repeatedly disregarding the conditions of his release, noting that he had previously received a 45-day sentence late last year for similar violations. “From time to time your actions suggest that you believe that ordinary rules don’t apply to you,” the judge said, emphasizing that another prison term was necessary to send a message. Hernandez, who gained fame with his 2017 hit “Gummo,” recounted in court several instances in which he and his family were threatened because of his c...

 Trump administration to expand travel ban to over 30 countries, Noem says The Trump administration plans to expand its travel ban to citizens of more than 30 countries, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said, following the shooting of two National Guard members by a man from Afghanistan. The move would build on a June travel restriction that barred entry to the U.S. for citizens of 12 countries and imposed limitations on seven others. Noem indicated earlier this week that additional countries would be included but did not provide specifics, saying President Donald Trump is still evaluating which nations will be affected. Speaking Thursday in an interview, Noem emphasized the administration’s rationale for the expanded ban: countries without stable governments or proper vetting systems could pose security risks. “If they don’t have a stable government there, if they don’t have a country that can sustain itself and tell us who those individuals are and help us vet them, why sh...
