US ending special
protections for
Salvadoran immigrants
WASHINGTON — The Trump administra-
tion said today it is ending special protections
for Salvadoran immigrants, an action that could
force nearly 200,000 to leave the U.S. by Sep-
tember 2019 or face deportation.
El Salvador is the fourth country whose cit-
izens have lost Temporary Protected Status
under President Donald Trump. Salvadorans
have been, by far, the largest beneficiaries of the
program, which provides humanitarian relief for
foreigners whose countries are hit with natural
disasters or other strife.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Niel-
sen’s decision, while not surprising, will send
shivers through parts of Washington, Los Ange-
les, New York, Houston and other metropolitan
areas that are home to large numbers of Salva-
dorans. They have enjoyed special protection
since earthquakes struck the Central American
country in 2001, and many have established
deep roots in the U.S., starting families and
businesses.
The action also produces a serious challenge
for El Salvador, a country of 6.2 million people
whose economy counts on money sent by wage
earners in the U.S. Over the past decade, grow-
ing numbers of Salvadorans — many coming
as families or unaccompanied children — have
entered the United States illegally through Mex-
ico, fleeing violence and poverty.
In September 2016, the Obama administra-
tion extended protections for 18 months, saying
El Salvador suffered lingering harm from the
2001 earthquakes that killed more than 1,000
people and was temporarily unable to absorb
such a large number of returning people.
Nielsen, who faced a Monday deadline for
a decision, determined that El Salvador has
received significant international aid to recover
from the earthquake and that homes, schools
and hospitals there have been rebuilt. Salvador-
ans will have until Sept. 9, 2019, to leave the
country or adjust their legal status.
Author, publisher won’t
back down on explosive
Trump book
WASHINGTON — The author of an explo-
sive new book that questions President Donald
Trump’s fitness for office today contradicted
Steve Bannon’s explanation of comments that
had angered his former boss. The book pub-
lisher said any effort by Trump to suppress the
book would be “flagrantly unconstitutional.”
Michael Wolff, author of “Fire and Fury:
Inside the Trump White House,” took issue with
a Bannon mea culpa issued Sunday, in which
Trump’s former chief strategist sought to make
amends for his comments.
In the book, Bannon describes a meeting
between Donald Trump Jr., senior campaign
aides and a Russian lawyer as “treasonous” and
“unpatriotic.” The reference angered the presi-
dent, who last week lashed out at Bannon, say-
ing he “lost his mind.”
Bannon sought to make amends Sunday, say-
ing in statement his description wasn’t aimed
at Trump’s son but at former Trump campaign
chairman Paul Manafort.
But Wolff told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”:
“it was not directed at Manafort, it was directed
directly at Don. Jr.”
In a letter to company employees today,
Macmillan CEO John Sargent wrote “no Amer-
ican court” would go along with President
Trump should he sue to have “Fire and Fury”
withdrawn.

Oil tanker burning off China’s
coast at risk of exploding
BEIJING — An oil tanker that caught fire after colliding with a freighter off China’s east
coast is at risk of exploding and sinking, Chinese state media reported today, as authorities
from three countries struggled to find its 32 missing crew members and contain oil spewing
from the blazing wreck.
State broadcaster China Central Television, citing Chinese officials, said none of the 30 Ira-
nians and two Bangladeshis who have been missing since the collision late Saturday had been
found as of 8 a.m. today. Search and cleanup efforts have been hampered by fierce fires and
poisonous gases that have engulfed the tanker and surrounding waters.
The Panama-registered tanker Sanchi was sailing from Iran to South Korea when it col-
lided with the Hong Kong-registered freighter CF Crystal in the East China Sea, 160 miles off
the coast of Shanghai, China’s Ministry of Transport said.
China, South Korea and the U.S. have sent ships and planes to search for the Sanchi’s crew.
The U.S. Navy, which sent a P-8A aircraft from Okinawa, Japan, to aid the search, said late
Sunday that none of the missing crew had been found.
All 21 crew members of the Crystal, which was carrying grain from the United States to
China, were rescued, the Chinese ministry said. The Crystal’s crew members were all Chi-
nese nationals.
It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the collision. The Sanchi was carrying 150,000
tons, or nearly 1 million barrels of condensate, a type of ultra-light oil. By comparison, the
Exxon Valdez was carrying 1.26 million barrels of crude oil when it spilled 260,000 barrels
into Prince William Sound off Alaska in 1989, badly damaging local ecology and the area’s
fishing-based economy.
as a leader who doesn’t understand the weight
of his office and whose competence is ques-
tioned by aides. It has sparked outrage in
Trump’s camp, and the president’s allies
attacked the book in a round of television
appearances Sunday.
Smuggling boat sinks
in Mediterranean, 64
feared dead
ROME — As many as 64 African migrants,
including a mother whose surviving 3-year-old
child desperately clung to her as she drowned,
are feared dead after a traffickers’ overcrowded
rubber dinghy from Libya started sinking in the
Mediterranean Sea, officials said today.
The Italian coast guard rescued 86 people
from the boat hours after it started sinking Sat-
urday morning after it took on water and started
deflating, a U.N. migration agency official said.

Oprah, ‘Three
Billboards’ triumph at
black-draped Globes
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — With a red car-
pet dyed black by actresses dressed in a color-co-
ordinated statement, the Golden Globes were
transformed into an A-list expression of female
empowerment in the post-Harvey Weinstein era.
Oprah Winfrey led the charge.
“For too long women have not been heard or
believed if they dared to speak their truth to the
power of those men,” said Winfrey, accepting the
Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement.
“But their time is up. Their time is up!”
More than any award handed out Sunday
at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Winfrey’s speech,
which was greeted by a rousing, ongoing stand-
ing ovation, encapsulated the “Me Too” mood at
an atypically powerful Golden Globes. The night
— usually one reserved for more carefree par-
tying — served as Hollywood’s fullest response
yet to the sexual harassment scandals that have
roiled the film industry and laid bare its gender
inequalities.
“A new day is on the horizon!” promised Win-
frey, who noted she was the first black woman to
be given the honor.
With a cutting stare, presenter Natalie Portman
followed Winfrey’s speech by introducing, as she
said, “the all-male” nominees for best director.
The movie that many believe speaks most
directly to the current moment — “Three Bill-
boards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” about a
mother avenging the rape and murder of her
daughter — emerged as the night’s top film. It
won best picture, drama, best actress, drama, for
Frances McDormand, best supporting actor for
Sam Rockwell and best screenplay for writer-di-
rector Martin McDonagh.
Host Seth Meyers opened the night by diving
straight into material about the sex scandals. “For
the male nominees in the room tonight, this is the
first time in three months it won’t be terrifying to
hear your name read out loud,” he said.

the water to pull dozens to safety, including
those who managed to stay aboard the half-sub-
merged dinghy as well as others already flailing
in nearby cold waters.
Eight bodies were recovered on Saturday.
Officials at the time said the corpses were all
women, but U.N. migration officials who met
the rescue ship when it arrived Monday in Cata-
nia, Sicily, said two of the eight dead were adult
men.
Since trafficking dinghies are often crammed
with far more than 100 migrants, fears quickly
arose Saturday that dozens more could be miss-
ing in the sinking. An Italian coast guard search
that went through the night didn’t find any more
survivors or corpses.
Flavio Di Giacomo of the International
Organization for Migration said in tweet today
that survivors interviewed by the agency in Cat-
ania said 150 people had been aboard the din-
ghy when it set out from a Libyan beach east
of Tripoli.
The migrants came from Mali, Gambia,
Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Senegal
and Nigeria.
MERRIMACK, N.H. — It’s been a bil-
lion-dollar lottery weekend after a lone Power-
ball ticket sold in New Hampshire matched all six
numbers and will claim a $559.7 million jackpot,
one day after another single ticket sold in Flor-
ida nabbed a $450 million Mega Millions grand
prize.
Since Reeds Ferry Market opened at 5:30 a.m.
Sunday, dozens of excited regulars have stopped
by the small, independent convenience store in
New Hampshire that sold the winning Power-
ball ticket to congratulate the owner and chat
about the win, store owner Sam Safa said. He said
he doesn’t know the identity of the winner, but
hopes one of the regulars from the over 100-year-
old store in Merrimack, about 25 miles south of
Concord, won the nation’s eighth-largest lottery
jackpot.
“I’m very excited and overwhelmed,” said
Safa.
He said that by selling the ticket, it felt like he
himself had won. The store will receive a $75,000
bonus for selling the winning ticket.
The initial jackpot was estimated at $570
million, but the actual jackpot at the time of the
drawing was the lesser amount, $559.7 million,
New Hampshire Lottery Spokeswoman Maura
McCann said Sunday.
The winner had not yet come forward as of
Sunday evening.
The Florida Lottery says the winning Mega
Millions ticket from Friday night’s drawing was
bought at a 7-Eleven convenience store in Port
Richey. The retailer will receive a $100,000
bonus for selling the ticket. The identity of that
winner also had not yet been revealed.
