...taken from Baltazar Cruz, who now faces deportation. In May, a Jackson County judge gave the infant to a couple (it is unclear if for foster care or adoptive purposes) who reportedly live in Ocean Springs. Baltazar Cruz is challenging the ruling in Jackson County Youth Court and hopes that if she is deported she can at least take Rubí back to Mexico with her. (She has not disclosed the father's identity.) (See the best and worst moms ever...
Still, despite DHS statements to the contrary, language seems a central issue in the state's case against Baltazar Cruz. It wouldn't be the first time this has happened in the U.S. In 2004 a Tennessee judge ordered into foster care the child of a Mexican migrant mother who spoke only an indigenous tongue. (Another judge later returned the child to her family.) Last year, a California court took custody of the U.S.-born twin babies of another indigenous, undocumented migrant from Oaxaca. After she was deported, the Oaxaca state government's Institute for Attention to Migrants fought successfully...

In her time on the project, she has come to view Coolhaus less as an ice cream truck and more as an architectural installation. "The truck arrives at a destination, and it creates a whole new atmosphere," she explains. "We'll show up in a parking lot, and that leads to a gathering of people in a parking...
Capella Singapore whispers luxury in many tasteful ways, from the understated style of Lord Norman Foster's architecture to the 30-plus varieties of tea served at the Knolls restaurant to the minimum $520 price tag for one of the contemporary Jaya Ibrahim-designed rooms. But there's one respect in which Capella screams its opulence from the rooftops: the space it occupies. The hotel sits on 30 acres (12 hectares) of land on Sentosa island, of which only 37% has been built on. In compact Singapore, that's as ostentatious a gesture as you'll ever...
