Yet another billionaire heads to space tonight
CNN
Yusaku Maezawa, a Japanese billionaire, will strap into a Russian-built Soyuz capsule and rocket into outer space early Wednesday morning, kicking off the first self-funded tourism mission to the International Space Station in a decade.
The capsule will ride into orbit atop a Soyuz rocket after launching from Russia's Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 2:38 am ET Wednesday. It's slated to dock with the ISS about six hours later, at 8:41 am ET.
Joining Maezawa on his 12-day journey aboard the ISS will be veteran Russian cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin, who will command the mission, and Maezawa's production assistant, videographer Yozo Hirano, who will capture footage of the fashion mogul as he floats around the orbiting space station.

White House tries to calm industry worries over migrant workers amid aggressive deportation campaign
Senior Trump officials and the president himself have grappled with the consequences of their immigration crackdown against a key portion of the workforce: migrant workers.

Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia on Wednesday continued their push to keep their civil case against the Trump administration alive, requesting to amend the lawsuit to include what they describe as the “torture and mistreatment” he experienced at El Salvador’s notorious mega prison, where he was wrongfully deported and held earlier this year.
