Local citizens hold solidarity march in Columbia in response to Trump's "Muslim ban" President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday that limits the immigration from seven majority Muslim countries. The rally started in Peace Park to stand with local Muslims. A representative of the Islamic Center of Central Missouri led about 200 people from the park to the mosque at the corner of Fifth and Locust streets, where they were greeted with cookies, snacks and juice. The marchers left their signs and flowers on the front steps of the mosque and then returned to Peace Park.
CPD faces allegations of illegally recording client-attorney calls The complaint was filed against the Columbia Police Department by attorney Stephen Wyse on Jan. 23. Wyse filed the complaint after he read about a drunk driving case in the Columbia Daily Tribune, in which cops violated attorney-client privilege by covertly observing and recording the conversation. Federal law makes it illegal to intentionally intercept, disclose or use any wire, oral or electronic communication through the use of a “device,” and law enforcement officers may only wiretap a conversation in which one of the parties involved in the conversation has consented to the recording.

The Deal with Documentaries: 'Anita' delves into the controversial appointment of Justice Clarence Thomas “In the coming weeks, President Donald Trump is expected to name a Supreme Court justice nominee to replace the late Antonin Scalia. President Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland, but the Senate refused to confirm him. Rarely are justices not confirmed, and even rarer is the nominee's character put into question, jeopardizing their appointment. But this instance was not the first in which a Supreme Court nomination process has not gone according to plan: In 1991, one woman stood up to a nominee in a messy hearing and became a topic of public scrutiny. The documentary Anita shares her story.”

Several university departments respond to Trump’s executive order on immigration In a statement Sunday night, interim chancellor Hank Foley expressed support for international students who might have been affected by President Donald Trump’s executive order banning immigration from seven majority-Muslim countries. “I am optimistic this will work out, but in the meantime, know you have our support and caring,” Foley wrote. Interim UM System President Mike Middleton and system President- designate Mun Choi also released a statement Sunday to express support for affected students.
A statement from the Division of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity pointed out that MU’s nondiscrimination clause includes protection based on national origin, and the university does not “provide information on immigration status except when required by law.” MU Police Department officers also do not ask about immigration status, nor do they typically partner with other law enforcement agencies to enforce immigration law.
Missouri football loses two recruits and gains two more in a 24-hour period Two three-star wide receiver recruits, Jafar Armstrong from Kansas City and Elijah Gardiner from Texas, decommitted from Mizzou in favor of bigger Midwestern powerhouses. Armstrong is now committed to Notre Dame, and Gardiner committed to Ohio State after visiting the school over the weekend.
But the Tigers recovered (sort of) with commitments from two defensive tackles: two-star recruit Kobie Whiteside from Houston and three-star junior college player Walter Palmore, who received competing offers from Arizona State and Georgia. In other Missouri football news, former backup quarterback Marvin Zanders announced he’ll transfer to Virginia.

More sports news: The St. Louis Cardinals lost their top two remaining draft picks for the June MLB Draft on Monday as part of compensation for a 2014 hacking scandal. They’ll forfeit those picks to the Houston Astros, the team whose email system and scouting database a former Cardinals employee hacked before the crime was discovered and he was charged. Christopher Correa, the former employee who was sentenced to 46 months in prison, was also banned from MLB for life as part of the punishment.

The speeches at the SAG Awards on Sunday night had a common theme: politics Mahershala Ali, who won for “Moonlight,” said, “I think what I've learned from working on ‘Moonlight’ is we see what happens when you persecute people. They fold into themselves, and what I was so grateful about in having the opportunity to play Juan was playing a gentleman. I saw a young man folding into himself as a result of the persecution of his community, and taking that opportunity to uplift him and tell him that he mattered, that he was okay, and accept him. And I hope that we do a better job of that.” Other notable speeches include Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ for “Veep,” David Harbour’s for “Stranger Things” and Ryan Gosling’s reaction during Emma Stone’s rambling speech after winning awards for “La La Land.”

International Center hosted a meeting for students and faculty affected by President Donald Trump's travel ban About 80 students and scholars attended a meeting hosted by the International Center, where university officials explained the executive order signed by President Trump and answered any questions they had. Representatives from the Counseling Center, the Office of the Provost, the Office of Student Affairs and an immigration lawyer all attended. The meeting was closed to media to make attendees more comfortable. As of last semester, 138 total students hold citizenship across the seven countries affected by the travel ban, according to the Fall 2016 Enrollment Summary Report.
Over a hundred community members protested in front of Sen. Roy Blunt's office The demonstration was organized by CoMo for Progress, a community group in Columbia. It lasted a little under an hour, and most attendees were voicing their dissent with the Trump administration. There were a few Trump supporters who joined the crowd to voice their discontent with the demonstrators. Blunt was not present at the event, but the crowd still caught people’s attention.
Professors question the future of the ACA and healthcare under Trump administration The Affordable Care Act, sometimes referred to as Obamacare, was passed in 2010 under former President Barack Obama’s administration. An important aspect of President Trump’s campaign was the repeal of the ACA, which is a looming possibility. Associate law professor Sam Halabi worked with those who initially negotiated the ACA in Congress. He says the repeal process will be difficult, but it would be beneficial to the Trump administration and the Republican Party.

St. Louis Blues fired head coach Ken Hitchcock Hitchcock has coached the Blues for about six years and has led the team to five straight playoff appearances. Associate coach Mike Yeo will assume the position of head coach, effective immediately. General manager Doug Armstrong also announced that goalie Jim Corsi will no longer be a part of the Blues. The team has been struggling recently, only winning one game out of the past six.
Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens met with Vice President Mike Pence Greitens posted about it on his official Facebook page Jan. 28, promising a “strong partnership between the White House and the Governor’s office.” The post added that both understood “the damage that Obamacare is doing to our families and our state's budget.” The state budget has been a big talking point for Greitens, from his campaign up to now. Greitens recently cut $146 million from Missouri’s budget, $20 million of which will be taken from MU.
Recap: The Capitals won 5-3 against the Bruins. In basketball, the Bulls played the Thunder and won 128- 100. What to Watch: Golden State Warriors take on the LA Clippers at 9:30 p.m. on TNT. The Blues play the Maple Leafs at 8 p.m. on FSMW, and the Blackhawks face off against the Coyotes at 8 p.m. on CSNC. Beyoncé and Jay-Z | Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons
Beyoncé knows how to keep a secret. The superstar announced on Instagram yesterday that she and husband Jay-Z are expecting twins, and the internet basically fell apart. This isn’t the first time she’s announced something with no warning. At the VMAs in 2011, Beyoncé announced while performing “Love on Top” that she was pregnant for the first time. She’s gotten into a habit of keeping things secret and then surprising her fanbase, as she did with her two most recent albums, “Beyoncé” and “Lemonade.” Beyoncé will probably always keep us guessing. Here's some of the best tweets:

Men's basketball finally ends losing streak In their second annual “Rally for Rhyan” game to benefit cancer research, the Tigers won their first Southeastern Conference game of the season. They bested the Arkansas Razorbacks 83-78 and snapped a 13-game losing streak.
Read the recap on themaneater.com.
Women's basketball defeats No. 25 Kentucky By Titus Wu The last time Missouri women's basketball played Kentucky, it was a bitter two-point loss. The Tigers’ first loss of the year on Jan. 5 was the beginning of a three-game losing streak.
But Monday night was a different story. The Tigers entered the evening on a four-game winning streak, matching their longest conference winning streak since joining the Southeastern Conference in 2012, and extended that streak to five with a 73-67 victory over the Wildcats.
Missouri coach Robin Pingeton was glad her team was able to rebound from its first loss to Kentucky.
“We didn’t want those losses to be empty...we want to grow from them,” Pingeton said. “And if we can do that, then it wasn’t a bad thing.”
Monday’s win pushes Missouri to a tie with Kentucky for third place in the SEC.
Read the full recap here.
Gymnastics falls to LSU By Chelsea Roemer Friday night was a battle of the Tigers, as the Missouri gymnastics team traveled to Baton Rouge to compete against Louisiana State.

The Patriots and Falcons square off in Houston on Sunday with the Lombardi Trophy on the line. The game kicks off at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday at NRG Stadium in Houston and will be broadcast on Fox. Here’s Chelsea Roemer’s preview of Super Bowl 51:
Over the past decade and a half, the New England Patriots have been the most dominant team in football. This year has proven to be no exception. Even with future Hall of Famer Tom Brady missing the first four games of the season, the Patriots finished 14-2, storming through the AFC and earning a first-round bye. On the other hand, the Atlanta Falcons have risen to the top with a balanced and potent offensive attack that features MVP front runner Matt Ryan and explosive offensive weapons Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman and Julio Jones. This is only the second Super Bowl appearance for Atlanta, the other being in 1998. The Falcons won 11 games this season, good enough for the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
New England Patriots Brady and head coach Bill Belichick are playing in their seventh Super Bowl together, an NFL record. In Houston, Brady, Belichick and the rest of the team will be looking to bring home a fifth Lombardi Trophy, the second in three years.
Though the Patriots’ season did not begin the way they intended, they still proved successful. The season began without star quarterback Brady, who was serving his four-game “Deflategate” suspension. Those four games had no impact on Brady’s performance; this was one of his best seasons in his 17-year career. In an abbreviated season, Brady threw for 28 touchdowns with just two interceptions. Since the 39-year- old quarterback’s return, the team has lost just one game.
Another key player, tight end Rob Gronkowski, went down in late November with a season-ending back injury in a win over the New York Jets. Despite losing their most dangerous target, the Patriots did not skip a beat without Gronk. They have yet to lose a game without him.
The Patriots have also been able to lean on their defense. After a shaky start and several personnel changes, the defense became a suffocating force week in and week out. The defense finished the season No. 1 in the NFL in fewest points allowed, giving up just 250 points during the season. They also finished in the top 10 in yards per game allowed.
Atlanta Falcons Unlike New England, the Falcons do not have a lot of Super Bowl experience. Brady has played in more Super Bowls than the entire Atlanta roster combined. The Falcons fly into Houston on the back of an MVP- caliber season from Ryan and one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL.
The Falcons played well during the regular season, earning an 11-5 record and winning the AFC South. The team had a rough start with a loss to begin the season, but with each passing week, the team gained more momentum with Ryan controlling the offense. The Falcons enter the Super Bowl on a six-game winning streak and have scored an average of 26.8 points per game over that span.
During the postseason, the Falcons exploded. Atlanta took down the Seattle Seahawks in the divisional round, winning 36-20. They then proceeded to dismantle Aaron Rodgers and the Packers 44-21 in the NFC Championship to clinch a spot in the Super Bowl. The team is currently ranked third in passing yards with 295.3, fifth in rushing yards with 120.5, and third in points with 33.8 per game. NFL: Today, the New England Patriots take on the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI at 5:30 p.m.
NBA: Highlights for the week include: Cavaliers at Wizards on Monday on TNT, Bulls at Warriors on Wednesday on ESPN, and Warriors at Thunder on Saturday on ABC.
NHL: The Lightning host the Kings at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday on NBC Sports. On Wednesday, the Wild host the Blackhawks at 8 p.m. on NBC Sports. The Lightning play at the Wild at 8 p.m. Thursday on NBC Sports.
