Judge revisits ruling that blocked Florida from criminalizing transport of immigrants

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 24, 2024. Posted in Florida News, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News.

A day after blocking part of a state law aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration, a federal judge Thursday appeared to have second thoughts about the scope of a preliminary injunction he issued. U.S. District Judge Roy Altman initially applied the injunction statewide. But he issued an order Thursday that partially quoted an Arkansas case and said on “further reflection, and given the ‘national conversation taking place in both the legal academy and the judiciary concerning the propriety of courts using universal injunctions as a matter of preliminary relief,’ we now invite further...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 23, 2024. Posted in Florida Panthers, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, NHL, Sports.

Well, is there anything more the Florida Panthers could do to introduce their tough and timely brand of postseason hockey to New York? Go silence Times Square? Hip-check the Statue of Liberty? Their 3-0 win over the New York Rangers Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals should come with a trademark for what they do and how they win right down to pressing the Rangers into making a late mistake for an own goal in the final minutes to drop the curtain If anyone didn’t know the Panthers, if they’ve forgotten from last spring, this was them, America. Speed. Skills. And stars? Matthew Tkachuk...

Panthers get Bobrovsky shutout, take early lead in Eastern Conference finals with road win over Rangers

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 23, 2024. Posted in Florida Panthers, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, NHL, Sports.

The Panthers drew first blood in what is expected to be a tight Eastern Conference final series. Florida star Matthew Tkachuk scored a first-period goal, and that proved to be enough Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. The Panthers went on to win 3-0 over the Rangers, taking a 1-0 series lead. Tkachuk had a relatively quiet second round against Boston, but he started the conference finals with the Rangers with a bang. The star forward got a pass from defenseman Gustav Forsling and fired it past the Rangers’ star goalie, Igor Shesterkin, for the game’s first goal late in the first...

MIAMI — Christian Yelich hit a go-ahead two-run triple in the eighth inning and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Miami Marlins 7-5 on Tuesday night.

Puk (0-5) to lead off the eighth and Contreras drew a two-out walk. Yelich then cleared the bases with a drive to deep right-center that put the Brewers ahead 6-5. Adames’ RBI double scored Yelich and chased Puk. “I kinda knew that I was probably going to be the...

Danny Neri made history Tuesday night as the UCF catcher became the first player to hit three home runs in a Big 12 Baseball Championship game, powering the Knights to a 6-5 win over Cincinnati in 11 innings at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. It was the first multi-home run performance for the senior, who came into the tournament with 4. Neri’s third homer — a shot down the rightfield line — in the top of the 11th was the winner and saved UCF, which blew a three-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning to the Bearcats. The win advances the Knights to the double-elimination...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 21, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Marlins, MLB, Sports.

MIAMI — Josh Bell singled with the bases loaded in the 10th inning to give the Miami Marlins a 3-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night.

Former Dolphins first-round pick DeVante Parker retires

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 21, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

DeVante Parker, the former Miami Dolphins wide receiver and first-round draft pick, has retired. Parker, who spent his first seven NFL seasons with the Dolphins, was just more than two months removed from signing with the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason. However, as teams across the league get going with organized team activities ahead of the 2024 season, he decided to call it a career instead. The 31-year-old cited wanting to spend more time with his children to ESPN as his reasoning for the decision. Parker, although often battling injuries, never had a season where he played fewer...

UF record-setter Jac Caglianone’s success with Gators has been a family affair

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 21, 2024. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

GAINESVILLE — The end of Jac Caglianone’s record-setting run is set to arrive like one of the towering lefty’s 98-mph fastballs — fast and a bit unpredictable. Perhaps the best two-year stretch in program history has been a blur for the 21-year-old two-way star and Gator Nation, led by his two biggest fans. Jeff and Johanne Caglianone have shared a front-row seat for their son’s improbable journey, rarely missing a game at home or away. “It’s really kind of surreal for us,” Jeff told the Orlando Sentinel. “He’s had success at a lot of levels, but you never envision what he’s been able to...

Gators reach softball Super Regionals for 15th time under Tim Walton

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 20, 2024. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

GAINESVILLE — UF sophomore Jocelyn Erickson left Oklahoma for a chance to play catcher and win another championship. If coach Tim Walton can capture his third national title — and first since 2015 — Erickson’s decision will loom even larger. The 19-year-old slugger’s 2-run home run in the first inning proved to be enough during a 9-1 rout of South Alabama Sunday at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. Two innings later, Erickson ignited a 7-run third with an RBI single, giving her a team-leading 78 on the season — two shy of Megan Bush’s school record set in 2011. The Gators also defeated South...
