0:00.0 | Today is Thursday, May 15th. We're talking about a key case in front of the U.S. Supreme Court as President Trump tries to limit judges who rule against him. Also, a couple of tense hearings on Capitol Hill with top cabinet officials defending their work on immigration and health care. Plus, millions of Americans could face more severe weather. Another dangerous trend has gone viral online, and celebrities want to get fans active, |

0:28.2 | Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy. All the day's news in around 10 minutes. Fast, fair, fun, |
0:34.2 | and on the go. I'm Erica Mandy. Thanks so much for being here. You ready? Let's do |
0:39.4 | this. Today, the U.S. Supreme Court is taking on one of the most highly anticipated cases |
0:46.9 | of this session. The justices are hearing about President Trump's order to restrict automatic |

1:22.1 | Trump's team says their orders need to be limited, so they only apply to the people who actually sued |
1:26.6 | and that for everyone |

1:32.2 | impact dozens of nationwide injunctions judges have issued against the Trump administration so far |
1:36.9 | this year. The Supreme Court is likely to rule by this summer. There are new developments in a |
1:44.0 | couple of immigration cases that have drawn attention from scientists and academics all around the world. |
1:49.0 | First, there's the case of Kosenia Petrova. The Trump administration announced criminal smuggling charges against her yesterday, and a government lawyer told a federal judge the U.S. plans to deport her back to Russia, despite her fear that she'll be arrested there over |
2:01.2 | her political views. Petrova is a Harvard scientist who was detained three months ago because |
2:06.1 | she had frog embryo samples in her luggage. They were non-infectious and non-toxic and meant for her |
