SAN DIEGO (AP) — A federal judge on Friday will consider arguments on President-elect Donald Trump's latest request to delay a civil fraud trial involving his now-defunct Trump University until after his inauguration on Jan. 20.

MOSUL, Iraq (AP) — Iraqi troops are still trying to advance into the eastern districts of Mosul, where they face stiff resistance from Islamic State militants.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A lack of jail space has U.S. government officials backtracking on a pledge to hold in detention immigrants who've entered the country illegally until they can be deported. Federal officials say they've been releasing Haitian immigrants, who've been entering the U.S. in large numbers, and the immigrants are being told to report later to an immigration court. But before they're released, they undergo a criminal background and national security check.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The northern Plains states could be hit with a lot of snow Friday.
