Dubai: Influencer Tarasbody Could Face Prison, Appeals for Help

Tara McCloud, a Franco-American fitness coach, model and influencer known as Tarasbody on Instagram, said in a video posted on October 15, 2026, that she cannot leave the United Arab Emirates. She says she was stopped upon arriving at the airport over allegations involving serious road accidents in 2025, which she disputes. Investigators reportedly found a passport and driving licence in her name that she says she never had; to avoid immediate detention, she presented proof that she had left the UAE in April 2024. The French consulate reportedly told her it could not intervene in a local court case, which is ongoing.

Trump Administration Sues California Over Noncitizens on Voter Rolls

The Trump administration has sued California after the state missed a deadline to review a list of people alleged to be noncitizens registered to vote. In a lawsuit filed Thursday in federal court, the Justice Department asked the court to block the counting of mail-in ballots from voters on a list said to contain about 20,000 names. California Secretary of State Shirley Weber said her office never received the list and accused the administration of demanding unprecedented measures based on unverifiable information. The department had given several counties 48 hours to review the lists, while California disputes the methods used to identify the voters.
