After nearly 30 years in the spotlight, Lindsay Lohan took a step back from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood and uprooted her life from Los Angeles to Dubai in 2014. Since then, the "Mean Girls" actress, 38, has not only become a wife and a mother, she has found peace within herself.Lohan, who appears on the cover of Elles 2025 Summer Issue, opened up about her life overseas and what she's learned about herself, both personally and professionally, since making the move."Its hard in L.A. Even taking my son to the park in L.A., I get stressed. Im like, Are there cameras? In New York, theres no worry; no one bothers us," said Lohan, who shares 1-year-old son Luai with husband Bader Shammas. "Everyone has their own thing going on. Theres a different kind of energy in New York. Id rather have downtime in New York than I would in L.A."LINDSAY LOHAN DENIES PLASTIC SURGERY CLAIMS, SHARES SECRETS BEHIND HER DRAMATIC TRANSFORMATION"But the nice thing about L.A. is, I like space [and you get that here]. But Im thinking as Im saying this, the funny thing is, in Dubai I get all of those things. I get the privacy, I get the peace, I get the space. I dont have to worry there. I feel safe."Lohan, who began working at age 3 and gained stardom with her first movie role in the 1998 remake of "The Parent Trap," was thrown into the thick of Hollywood. Often facing public scrutiny, the "Freaky Friday" star had enough and moved to Dubai in 2014."I feel like some of [my work] got overshadowed by paparazzi and all that kind of stuff when I was younger, and thats kind of annoying. I wish that part didnt happen," Lindsay toldBustle in 2024.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"I feel like that kind of took on a life of its own. So thats why I wanted to disappear. I was like, Unless theresnostory here, theyre not going to focus on just my work."In 2022, Lohan spoke about how she was taking control of her own narrative through social media."When I first started out in the business, none of us had a say in how to control our own narrative," she told Cosmopolitan. "There were paparazzi pictures, and then people ran with it. So I think its really good that, in this day and age, people can say who they are and who they want to be. And I admire and appreciate that. Im a little jealous because I didnt have that. But I think it moves really fast, and I just try to keep up as best I can. And I check everything before I post it. Ill send it to people, because you have to.""You have to take everything people say with a grain of salt and just be you and slow down because everyones so quick right now," she said. "People just dont stop. Youve got to chill."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSAfter moving to Dubai, Lohan quickly learned the power of saying "no" when it comes to picking and choosing professional projects."They teach you to say yes to everything, and thats not really what lifes all about," she told Bustle of her earlier years in the industry. "I was like, What if I never fall in love? What if this never happens?' And it took me just taking time for me for all those doors to open and the yeses to come, the things Iwantedto say 'yes' to."Since her return to the big screen, Lohan, who stars alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in "Freakier Friday," said she's found that prioritizing herself makes a huge difference in her overall well-being.LINDSAY LOHAN THRIVES IN PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL LIFE AS FATHER'S ARREST TOPS YEARS OF FAMILY TURMOIL"[Jamie and I] are both very family-oriented people. We always talk about that, and one of the other big things [shes taught me] is to always take care of yourself first," she told Elle. "Because without that, how can you do everything for everyone else?""I love having a routine, and I like schedules," she continued. "So, my morning routine: waking up, writing in my journal, sipping my green tea, breakfast with my son, and then Pilates, making sure I go."Despite her hectic schedule, Lohan said the "most important thing" in her life is family."I mean, its the most important thing: my husband, my son and me. Its all about balance and, as I said, routine. Especially when you have a kid, routine is the most important thing. And whatever their routine is, Ive got to live by that."Lohan is no stranger to criticism. With fame comes speculative curiosity, especially when it comes to her appearance.Elsewhere in the Elle interview, Lohan shut down rumors that she had a facelift. The star shared the secrets behind the skincare routine that she says has dramatically altered her look."Everyone does Botox," Lohan said. "I drink this juice every morning. Its like carrot, ginger, lemon, olive oil, apple. I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water. Im a big pickled beets person, so I put them in almost everything. My skincare is very specific. Im trying out some serums now that Im doing. Im testing them.""Also, Im a big believer in ice-cold water on your face when you wake up," the 38-year-old said. "I drink lemon juice a lot. I also put tons of chia seeds in my water. Eye patches I do every morning. Im into lasers.""I did Morpheus8 (a noninvasive radiofrequency microneedling treatment) once, and then I realized my skin is so thin that I cant be doing that," Lohan said."My skin changed after having my son. It got really sensitive. Thats what really made me change my whole routine and diet and everything. I did blood tests, and I was like, I want to know everything Im allergic to. So I cut everything out, and thats kind of when everything started to change for me."

In a statement responding to the inclusion of Montgomery County Maryland on a list of sanctuary jurisdictions in the U.S., County Executive Marc Elrich accused the Trump administration of seeking to criminalize immigrants and "create fear."President Donald Trump issued an executive order calling for a list of sanctuary jurisdictions. DHS issued the list on Thursday, the department noted in a post on X."We are not in violation of federal law, and we will not be making changes based on political headlines. Montgomery County has always cooperated with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in cases involving violent crimes, serious felonies, and threats to public safety. That has been and remains our policy," Elrich said in his statement.LEADERSHIP SHAKE-UP COMING AT ICE, HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS, SOURCES SAY"This designation, like many other actions taken by this administration, is about criminalizing immigrants, not protecting public safety. We will not be complicit in efforts to stigmatize or target our immigrant communities," the Democrat declared. "These types of announcements are designed to create fear. But we do not govern by fear in Montgomery County. We govern by the law and by our values."U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of an MS-13 member in a press release earlier this month, noting multiple instances of the Montgomery County Detention Center failing to honor immigration detainers for the individual over the years, including just last month."The Montgomery County Circuit Court in Rockville convicted Amaya of attempted motor vehicle theft April 4, and sentenced him to three years of confinement with two years, five months and 11 days suspended," the release noted of Salvadoran national Nelson Vladimir Amaya-Benitez. "On April 18, the Montgomery County Detention Center again declined to honor ICEs immigration detainer and released Amaya from custody."POLK COUNTY SHERIFF GRADY JUDD NAMES OBSTACLES IN DETAINING MIGRANTS UNDER TRUMP'S IMMIGRATION POLICIESMontgomery County Department of Correction and Rehabilitation Director Ben Stevenson acknowledged the "error.""This individual met the criteria we use to notify and coordinate with ICE due to a prior felony conviction and validated gang membership in the DOCR records. We failed to make this notification. We take full responsibility for this error," he said in a statement. "Montgomery County has stated consistently that we cooperate with ICE in cases involving individuals convicted of violent crimes, verified gang members, drug distributors & traffickers and other felony convictions. That policy remains in place."TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SETS NEW GOAL OF 3,000 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ARRESTS DAILYCLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPElrich said during a media briefing that "we goofed on our part. We did not make a policy decision to let this person go."The Trump administration has been aiming to crackdown on illegal immigration and is seeking to remove many individuals from the country after massive numbers of people flowed across the U.S. border during President Joe Biden's administration.

America's craft brewers may be facing the sobering reality of inflation and looming tariffs, but a number of them are using creative problem-solving to navigate tight economic times.Many of these artisans traditionally known for their boldness and innovation are finding ways to maintain quality and brand integrity without asking loyal customers to choke on the price."Pretty much everything that goes into making beer got more expensive over the past five years," Bart Watson, president and CEO of the Colorado-based Brewers Association, told Fox News Digital.MOST POPULAR BEER IN AMERICA REVEALED IN NEW STUDY"In this competitive environment, it's hard for brewers to pass all that on to the customer because they risk losing sales. So brewers are faced with this dual challenge."Beer makers have seen a sharp increase in costs since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic."That's when the supply chain really shifted," David Stoneking, owner of Brotherwell Brewing in Waco, Texas, best known for its Belgian-style triple called Act of Faith, told Fox News Digital."The tariffs and other related things are still an unknown. Everyone is aware of them, everyone is worried about them, but nobody has actually paid an additional price quite yet."MAN CRAFTS WORLD'S LARGEST BEER TRAY COLLECTION OF 1,500 ITEMS: 'PART OF HISTORY'Bill Butcher, owner of Port City Brewing Co. in Alexandria, Virginia, said he feels that, too."We have rising input costs for our ingredients, rising labor costs for our team and rents are going up. Everything is getting more expensive," Butcher told Fox News Digital. "At the same time, people are being more careful with their money with all the uncertainty in the economy right now."Creative problem-solving helps craft breweries maintain price points without compromising the quality and variety their customers have come to expect.One way brewers are mitigating their costs is by sourcing local ingredients."Our bestselling beer, Optimal Wit, is brewed with 100% Virginia-grown wheat," Butcher said. "We are happy to support our local Virginia agriculture. And as we've grown, we've become the largest purchaser of food-grade, Virginia-grown wheat in the state."FIRST BOTTLE OF 'WHISKY' MATURED IN CASKS SUBMERGED IN LOCH NESS SELLS FOR OVER $1,000In addition to supporting local farmers, Butcher said it reduces transportation costs and also allows the company to monitor inventory and not over-order ingredients that might go unused.Breweries in the same areas are also consolidating their orders for ingredients, Butcher said, as well as working together to ship their beer out to market when they have shared distributors."We try to collaborate with our local allies in the market and work together in ways that make sense for everybody," Butcher said.Some brewers are expanding into other markets, such as kombucha, seltzers and non-alcoholic options, in order to bolster sales."We make a non-alcoholic hoppy seltzer that we developed a couple of years ago as we saw the trend of 'Dry January' growing," Butcher said. "We wanted to offer something to people if they wanted to come to the brewery but not necessarily drink beer."Brotherwell Brewing also has some non-alcoholic offerings and Stoneking said he's always keeping an eye open for new options there, including food.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"We don't have the resources right now to build out a kitchen," Stoneking said. "But we do partner with local food trucks as often as we're able."Beer and communities have always been intertwined, Stoneking said.For more Lifestyle articles, visitfoxnews.com/lifestyle"Breweries and community beer gardens have developed as a space that was, throughout history, the place for people to gather," Stoneking said."There's a little bit of shade and a little bit of beer OK, let's hang out here as family or friends or community members. That has survived relatively unchanged for thousands of years."Compared with wine and spirits, even craft beer is on the low end of affordability."With beer, we can stay kind of accessible," Stoneking said."Whether you're paying $4 for a Bud Light or $6 for a craft beer, that $2 difference isn't huge. That means we get to cast a wider net," he said."People specifically choose craft beer at that $2 up-charge over major domestics precisely for the quality of it and for the exploration of it. They find value in it."

Harvard Universitys lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security for moving to ban foreign students at the Ivy League school could be on a fast track to the Supreme Court, reviving a longstanding debate over when justices should recuse themselves from cases.Four Supreme Court justices attended Harvard. While being an alumnus of a university involved in litigation does not typically warrant recusal from a case, other factors, such as deeper involvement with a school, could change matters.Professor James Sample, a constitutional law professor at Hofstra University, told Fox News Digital recusals from every case involving universities justices attended or were linked to would be "untenable," but recusals could be appropriate in certain circumstances.A recusal is "entirely subjectively applied by the justice in his or her own case, and, rightly or wrongly and I'm among those who have criticized the practice the practice on the Supreme Court is that only the justice in his or her own case, and no one else, makes that determination," Sample said.JUDGE TEMPORARILY PAUSES TRUMP MOVE TO CANCEL HARVARD STUDENT VISA POLICY AFTER LAWSUITJustices Neil Gorsuch and Elena Kagan attended Harvard Law School. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson attended Harvard for both their undergraduate and law degrees. Kagan served as dean of Harvard Law School.Ed Whelan, a legal scholar who clerked for the late Justice Antonin Scalia, told Fox News Digital the fact that a justice "went to Harvard or loved University of Alabama football is never going to be a reason for recusal."Jacksons ties to Harvard run perhaps the deepest though. The justice, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, served a six-year term on the Harvard Board of Overseers through 2022, and one of her daughters is a student there and preparing to graduate next year.Whether Jackson should recuse herself from Harvard litigation that comes before the high court can, "legally speaking," only be determined by her, Sample said, pointing to the open-ended language in the statute governing judicial recusal.TRUMP ADMIN ASKING FEDERAL AGENCIES TO CANCEL REMAINING HARVARD CONTRACTSHarvards latest lawsuit, filed Friday in Massachusetts, alleges the Trump administrations decision to ban international students at Harvard by stripping them of their visas is unconstitutional. Harvard's attorneys made an emergency request for a restraining order, and Judge Allison Dale Burroughs, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, granted the order within hours.The order brought the DHSs visa operation against Harvard to a temporary halt and opened the door for the government to turn to higher courts for relief, meaning it could be on an expedited path to the Supreme Court.In 2023, Jackson recused herself from Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, a landmark affirmative action case, while the three other justices affiliated with Harvard did not.Some legal experts have said that in that instance it was necessary for Jackson to recuse because her tenure on the board, a governing body at the university, was current when the case hit the high court's docket. But Harvards new cases could be a different story."The specificity of the particular nexus that connects the justice to the specific interest at stake in litigation, as that gets more specific, as that nexus gets closer and closer, the potential for an appearance of conflict increases," Sample told Fox News Digital.TRUMP SAYS HARVARD'S FOREIGN STUDENTS ARE FROM COUNTRIES PAYING 'NOTHING' FOR THEIR EDUCATIONHarvard's visa case is one of two lawsuits the school has brought against the Trump administration this year. In the second, brought in April, Harvard alleged the Trump administration improperly froze grant money and contracts totaling more than $2 billion. That case is moving at a slower pace than the visa lawsuit.Justice Amy Coney Barretts decision to recuse herslef in an unrelated case recently made headlines after the high court issued a deadlocked decision, 4-4, leaving in place a block on the creation of a religious charter school in Oklahoma. If Barrett had weighed in, the case could have had the far-reaching effect of allowing or banning public funding for religious schools across the country.Barrett did not explain why she recused herself, and judges are not required to. The Associated Press reported that the justice is close friends with law professor Nicole Garnett, who was connected to the case.Last week, because of recusals, the Supreme Court declined to take up Baker v. Coates, a copyright case involving plagiarism allegations against activist Ta-Nehisi Coates. The high court noted in an order list that five justices opted not to take part in the case and that it therefore lacked a quorum to consider it. The nonpartisan group Fix the Court speculated that four of the five recused themselves because they had published or plan to publish books with Penguin Random House, whose parent company was named in the suit.Democrats repeatedly urged conservative Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from Trumps 2020 election subversion case because of Thomas wifes work attempting to reverse the results of the election in favor of Trump, but the justice ignored those calls.Gorsuch attended Columbia University, another school under fire from the Trump administration and involved in litigation, but he likely would not step away from cases brought by the school solely because he went there.

A former high-ranking officer in the Venezuelan military is contesting a recent report by the U.S. intelligence community about the massive Tren de Aragua gang present throughout the country.Jose Arocha, who is a former lieutenant colonel in the Venezuelan military, told Fox News Digital that the recent intel community report denying Tren de Aragua is linked to the Venezuelan dictator Nicols Maduro is missing a key aspect: the socialist regime's animosity towards the United States and penchant for asymmetric warfare.Tren de Aragua, also known simply as TdA, is a violent Venezuelan gang that has been terrorizing U.S. cities over the last several years. The group is linked to high-profile murders such as the killing of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley and the seizure of an entire apartment building in Aurora, Colorado.As one of his first moves back in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump directed the State Department to designate TdA a "foreign terrorist organization."SUPREME COURT ALLOWS TRUMP ADMIN TO MOVE ON ENDING LEGAL PROTECTIONS FOR SOME VENEZUELAN MIGRANTSSpeaking with Fox News Digital via Zoom, Arocha, a national security expert at the Center for a Secure Free Society, said he agrees with the Trump administrations moves against Tren de Aragua, which he believes is an "asymmetrical warfare" tool of the Maduro regime to sow discord in the United States and other countries in the Western Hemisphere."The Maduro regime doesn't need to send troops to the USA. It sends criminals instead," he said. "TdA is a plug-and-play insurgency assembled in prison, deployed abroad."Arochas statements, however, contrast with a new public memo released by U.S. intelligence agencies last month that denied any solid connection between the Maduro government in Caracas and the gang."While Venezuelas permissive environment enables TDA to operate, the Maduro regime probably does not have a policy of cooperating with TDA and is not directing TDA movement to and operations in the United States," the report states.The report says that the intelligence community based its conclusion "on Venezuelan law enforcement actions demonstrating the regime treats TDA as a threat; an uneasy mix of cooperation and confrontation rather than top-down directives [that] characterize the regime's ties to other armed groups; and the decentralized makeup of TDA that would make such a relationship logistically challenging."Arocha, meanwhile, said that "the missing point here is that the intelligence report is too narrow a lens about the TdA.""It's about crime and migration, but they're missing the warfare dimension," he said. "They are missing that for the Maduro regime, the United States is the enemy, has been the enemy for years."VIOLENT VENEZUELAN GANG EXPLOITS TECHNOLOGY TO TURBOCHARGE ITS DOMINANCE: EXPERTS"The TdA is not a gang," he went on. "It's the enabler arm of the Venezuelan regime in the hybrid warfare strategy, the asymmetrical tour of war. That's the missing point. And that is the point that explains how a local gang is right now in more than 10 countries, including the United States. That's incredible, and that is not possible without a state sponsor behind them."While the report points to law enforcement actions the Maduro government has taken against TdA, Arocha explained that in reality Venezuelan prisons, including the "Tocorn" prison where the gang started, are more like resort hotels."Tocorn, [which] they said is the epicenter of the crime in Venezuela, it wasn't a prison, it was a palace for organized crime. Full equipment, we have a zoo, nightclubs and even a pool for the prisoners there," he said.Arocha also posited that the 2023 raid the Venezuelan government conducted on Tocorn "appears choreographed" and that key TdA leadership was able to escape through pre-made tunnels."While the regime gained optics of cracking down on crime, TdAs mobility remained intact," Arocha told Fox News Digital.11 ALLEGED TEEN TREN DE ARAGUA GANG MEMBERS ATTACK NYPD OFFICERS: POLICEThe intel report admitted that the escaped TdA members were "possibly assisted by low-level Venezuelan military and political leaders." But to Arocha, the connection goes straight to the top.He pointed to the kidnapping and murder of Venezuelan political dissident Ronald Ojeda in Chile, which, according to Reuters, is being investigated by the Chilean government as a possible Tren de Aragua operation sponsored by the Maduro government.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGEReuters reported in March that Chilean Attorney General Angel Valencia said that Ojeda's murder "doesn't have the characteristics of a normal crime" and "all the evidence we have at this state of the investigation lets us conclude that a cell or group linked to the Tren de Aragua that was politically motivated that originated from an order of a political nature."The outlet also reported that the Venezuelan government denied the accusations as baseless.Arocha further pointed to former Maduro Vice President Tareck El Aissami, who has alleged ties to Hamas and Hezbollah, as evidence that the Venezuelan government is embedded with Americas worst enemies.VENEZUELAN ILLEGAL ALIEN, ALLEGED TREN DE ARAGUA LEADER IN CALIFORNIA, ARRESTED ON IMMIGRATION CHARGESEl Aissami was arrested on corruption charges and is currently in prison."He has a strong influence with Iran and China and Russia, too. Right now, he's in prison, which means that he's living in the palace in prison," Arocha remarked, smiling."The Venezuelan regime is a proxy of Russia, China and Iran, especially China right now," he went on. "They use Venezuela [to] create chaos in Latin America especially not confronting directly the United States, but indirectly, using criminals, using disinformation, using every single tool they have."In response, Arocha urged the Trump administration to continue to take a whole-of-government approach in combating TdA. He urged the administration to "increase our scope" by reaching out to Latin American countries with experience with TdA, such as the Chilean government."They have a knowledge right now about the TdA. We have to understand what theyve learned about, and we have to put all the pieces together to have the big picture instead of the local one," he said.
