~ L., 32, an office worker who has been in the U.S. for two years, is among many Haitians legally living and working in the U.S. under a Temporary Protected Status that is soon to disappear under the Trump administration.

Georgia football wasn't dogged |
The 'Dawgs hustled. It may take a few weeks to truly evaluate the deeper impact of the No. 3 Bulldogs' electric 44-41 overtime win against No. 15 Tennessee in Week 3. Was this just an off day for the Bulldogs' defense, which allowed nearly 500 yards despite the fact Tennessee only had possession for 21:29 of regulation? Amid lingering questions are two certainties. One, this will go down as one of the top games of the regular season. And more importantly, the Bulldogs should remain atop the SEC power rankings after adapting to and thriving against Tennessee's frenetic style.
