The State of Wisconsin is joining a lawsuit challenging one of President Trump's many new executive orders,
specifically the one that says the federal government will not recognize children born in America
to parents who are here illegally as citizens.
Savannah Tomay Olsen has this story.
President Donald Trump signed a flurry of executive orders on his first day in office,
many of them focused on immigration.
One of them says the federal government will no longer consider kids born on American soil
citizens if their parents are here illegally.
That order stands contrary to the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,
which was ratified in 1868 after the Civil War.
It says all people born are naturalized in the U.S. are citizens.
Now 20 states are filing a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts.
Governor Tony Evers called Trump's order egregious and wrong-headed,
and said Wisconsin is joining the lawsuit to protect Americans' rights guaranteed in the Constitution.
Attorney General Josh Call says the Constitution, federal law, and previous Supreme Court rulings
are clear people born here are citizens.
America is one of at least 30 nations with birthright citizenship.

The bitter, dangerously cold temperatures were experiencing across the state have made
for record high numbers of people relying on homeless shelters and warming centers.
Monday night, St. John's Ministry and Green Bay sheltered 110 men and 50 women.
Day-by-day shelter in Oshkosh is offering 15 extra beds when the temperatures drop below zero.
However, Oshkosh does not have an emergency winter homeless shelter,
and there are no daytime warming shelters in Oshkosh, meaning people rely on places like the
Salvation Army and the Library.
Warming shelters in places that offer overnight shelter can usually be found by calling 211 Wisconsin
or the County Health Department. Wisconsin is part of a wide-ranging settlement
against the owners of the Mobile Banking App, cash app.
Wisconsin, along with 47 other states, secured a settlement against cash apps,
parent company Block, for violations of federal money laundering laws.
The Federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says the company made it impossible
to recoup money that was sent fraudulently, either by ignoring customer complaints,
or giving users the run-around when trying to get a refund.
Block will have to pay $80 million in fines to the states, and over $120 million to the victims.
If you're interested in the history and management of Lake Sturgeon and the Winnebago

Fisheries biologists will also discuss wall-eye management.
The meeting will be in-person and virtual via Microsoft Teams.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is asking anglers to help curb the spread
of invasive species while they're out on the water this winter.
According to a press release, aquatic invasive species and fish diseases
can be spread when anglers empty the water from their bait buckets or fish containers in
different bodies of water, even in harsh winter conditions.
Officials are reminding anglers to drain all the water from their buckets at the site where
they filled them and remove things like mud or plants from their gear before leaving.
The FDA has changed its mind, and now cranberries can be labeled healthy.
Savannah Tomaylesen has the story.
Good news for the nation's top producer.
The FDA has ruled cranberries can be labeled healthy.
The FDA had proposed a new rule where producers couldn't label cranberries healthy
because sugar is added to make them palatable.
Senators Tammy Baldwin and Ron Johnson plus other Wisconsin lawmakers
started advocating for a change to that rule.
Now two years later, the FDA agreed.
They amended the rule to say that cranberries can still count as healthy,
as long as they don't have more sugar than other comparable fruits have naturally.
That way, something like a raisin, which has a bunch of natural sugar,
doesn't get preferential treatment over the cranberry with its added sugar.
Wisconsin grows more cranberries than any other state.
We're responsible for 62% of the nation's supply.

Cameron Diaz would love to be in the sequel of The Mask, but there is a condition.
The something about Mary actress who starred in the first mask as Tina Carlyle in 1994
said she would absolutely love to do another installment,
but only if Jim Carey is involved.
In the film, Carey played a banker who develops magical powers when he puts on a mask
that makes him an ornary cuss.
Carey says he is open to another chapter of the franchise if the circumstances are right.
Translation? Show him the do-ray me.
If you're looking for a trip down memory lane, you might want to revisit David Lynch's
foray into network television, 1992's Twin Peaks.
Inspired by David Lynch's passing last week, I got the urge to check it out,
and it does not disappoint.
It's beautifully shot, as is all of Lynch's work, has great music,
and it's got incredible acting by a phenomenal cast.
It might seem a bit dated, but the story holds up.
No spoilers, as casual fans might have forgotten who killed Laura Palmer.
Beatles and or John Lennon fans will be interested to know that a new documentary about John
and Yoko is coming this spring.

The film covers an 18-month period of John and Yoko's time in Greenwich Village
in the early 1970s and features restored, never-before-seen footage.
1-1 will drop on Max for us streamers in late May of this year.
Imagine not getting a role in a movie that is not live action and has no real humans
because the producers tell you you look like a smurf.
That is what happened to actor Josh Gad.
Gad was up for a role in Avatar in 2009, but was told Director James Cameron
didn't think he had the right body type.
Apparently, Gad has such a strange body they couldn't even change it with CGI,
like they did every other actor.
For more insights, check out Gad's new book in Gad We Trust.
