Gov. Andy Beshear crammed 25 meetings with corporate leaders into two-and-a-half days at the World Economic Forum, promoting Kentucky as the place to expand or build new factories. Having so many CEOs in one place was an unprecedented opportunity for the second-term Democratic governor, who keeps count of private-sector investments and the jobs created in the Bluegrass State. “It allowed us to meet with so many employers that would have taken us months, if not years, to otherwise see,” Beshear said Thursday at his first weekly media briefing since returning home.

US judge blocks Trump administration from transferring transgender inmate
BOSTON (Reuters) -A U.S. judge has temporarily blocked federal prison officials from transferring a transgender woman to a men's facility and denying her access to gender-affirming care in accordance with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump, her lawyers said on Thursday. The temporary restraining order was issued by U.S. District Judge George O'Toole in Boston on Sunday while the inmate's case was sealed in what appeared to be the first lawsuit challenging an order Trump signed on his first day back in office on Jan. 20, targeting what he called "gender ideology extremism." Trump's order directed the federal government to only recognize two, biologically distinct sexes, male and female; house transgender women in men's prisons; and cease funding for any gender-affirming medical care for inmates.

Air Force deportation flight skirts Mexican airspace to Guatemala as military's border role grows
A U.S. Air Force jet with migrants bound at their wrists and ankles departed Texas for Guatemala on Thursday, carrying 80 deportees in another deportation flight that reflects a growing role for the armed forces in helping enforce immigration laws. The flight from Fort Bliss, an Army base in El Paso, was scheduled to take about seven hours, nearly twice as long as a direct route, because the military plane could not fly over Mexico, said U.S. Border Patrol spokesman Orlando Marrero. The Trump administration has used military aircraft to deport people to Guatemala, Ecuador and Colombia, a departure from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's previous practice to employ charter and commercial planes.
