Melania Doc Bombs, Spielberg EGOTs, and a 5-Year-Old Freed

Trump Administration in the News: Documentary Success, Kennedy Center Closure, EGOT Achievement, and ICE Detention

The Trump administration was the focus of several news stories this week, ranging from entertainment successes to controversial policy decisions. A documentary about First Lady Melania Trump, titled "Melania," debuted with a better-than-expected $7 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates released Sunday, despite Amazon MGM Studios investing a substantial $75 million in rights and marketing, according to Fortune.

President Donald Trump announced plans to close the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., for two years for a "complete rebuilding," Variety reported on Friday. This decision followed Trump affixing his name to the building and prompting multiple artists to cancel engagements at the famed arts center, according to Variety.

In other news, Steven Spielberg achieved EGOT status, winning a Grammy Award in the best music film category for the documentary "Music by John Williams," Variety reported Sunday.

Meanwhile, the administration's immigration policies continued to draw criticism. Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minnesota, was released after a federal judge ordered his release, Time reported. The boy and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, who was detained with him, boarded a plane on Sunday morning in Texas, according to Time. Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas said he picked up the father and son on Saturday night and escorted them back to Minnesota, according to Time. "Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack," Castro wrote on social media, according to Time. The image of the boy wearing a blue bunny hat and a Spider-Man backpack while being detained by an ICE agent on January 20 sparked national outrage, according to Time.
