Jeff Daniels now has a tarantula-killing worm named after him
CNN
If you think you know who Jeff Daniels is, think again. You might be thinking of the Hollywood actor -- but there's now a tarantula-killing worm with a very similar name.
The worm -- named tarantobelus jeffdanielsi -- was discovered by scientists at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) and is one of more than 25,000 nematode species, but only the second one found to infect tarantulas.
Researchers decided to name the worm after Daniels as a nod to his role as Dr. Ross Jennings in the 1990 film "Arachnophobia," in which his character saves a Californian town from a spider infestation.

Attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia have asked a judge to put severe sanctions on the Trump administration, saying federal officials violated court orders to prove the steps they were taking to attempt to get the wrongfully deported man out of El Salvador for weeks, before he was returned to face criminal charges.
