In the first week after the White House effectively seized control of Washington, DC’s police force and deployed thousands of federal agents and troops in the district, the city saw a moderate drop in reported crime and a huge spike in immigration arrests. Now, President Donald Trump is vowing to conduct similar crackdowns in cities located in blue states — against the will of Democratic leaders. GOP governors from six states have also announced that they’re sending troops to the nation’s capital to assist in the crackdown, although 10 other cities in those states had higher rates of violent crime or homicide than DC last year. In a statement, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said the president “is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he is causing working families.”

The Trump administration suffered a legal and political setback late last week when a judge ruled the federal government could not deny funding to Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles and 30 other cities and counties because of policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration efforts. US District Judge William Orrick extended a preliminary injunction blocking the administration from cutting off or conditioning the use of federal funds for so-called “sanctuary” jurisdictions. Orrick also blocked the federal government from imposing immigration-related conditions on two grant programs. The cities and counties that sued said billions of dollars were at risk.

Schools, businesses and airports in Vietnam have closed today due to Typhoon Kajiki. According to the country's national weather forecast agency, the powerful storm has sustained winds of 103 mph, the equivalent of a Category 2 Atlantic hurricane. With the typhoon bringing the threat of heavy rains, flash floods, landslides, destructive winds and storm surge, more than 40,000 people have been evacuated from low-lying communities, the state-run VN Express reported. “This is an extremely dangerous fast-moving storm,” the government said in a statement on Sunday night, according to Reuters. Kajiki is the fifth typhoon to hit Vietnam this year, and the most powerful one.

As residents in the western US deal with a dangerous heat wave, parts of California and Oregon are once again on fire. Thousands of residents were ordered to evacuate on Sunday in Northern California's wine country and in central Oregon as crews battled the flames. According to Cal Fire, the Pickett Fire has charred about 10 square miles of Napa County. Despite the efforts of more than 1,230 firefighters and 10 helicopters, the blaze is just 11% contained. In Oregon, the Flat Fire — which is burning in Deschutes and Jefferson counties — has grown to 29 square miles. Although firefighters were able to cut containment lines and managed to suppress some of the flames, their efforts were challenged by difficult terrain, low humidity and triple-digit temperatures, officials said.

The Mississippi health department has declared a public health emergency over rising infant mortality rates. There were 9.7 deaths for every 1,000 births in Mississippi last year, the state health department reported, which was the highest rate in more than a decade. Although data from the CDC showed that the national infant mortality rate rose for the first time in 20 years in 2022, Mississippi had the highest infant mortality of all 50 states — more than 60% higher than the national average. Since 2014, more than 3,500 babies in the state have died before the age of 1. “The Mississippi Department of Health’s declaration of a public health emergency in response to infant mortality is a painful reminder of the maternal and infant health crisis facing our nation,” Cindy Rahman, March of Dimes’ president and CEO, said in a statement. “These losses should be a wake-up call to the nation,” she added.

“Teenage boys, being the curious hormonally driven creatures they are, might ask: ‘Mrs. Walker, I know about lying and I love my parents, but how do I do adultery?’ Truly an awkward moment for overworked and underpaid educators, who already have to deal with sex education issues … and a classic example of the law of unintended consequences in legislative edicts.”
— US District Judge Fred Biery, who wrote in his ruling that several Texas school districts do not need to comply with a state law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all classrooms.
