AP-US-ICE-Shooting-Austin, 17th Ld-Writethru

ICE agent shoots and wounds man in Austin, Texas, officials say

SUMMARY: Local authorities say a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and wounded a man in Austin, Texas, where anti-ICE protesters gathered for hours. The Austin police chief says the man was in serious but stable condition at a hospital after being shot Sunday afternoon. An immigration attorney identified him as Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a 28-year-old Venezuelan man. The Department of Homeland Security says the man is in custody pending removal from the country. Austin police officers were not involved in the shooting. The city's mayor, Kirk Watson, said he wants local police involved in the investigation to provide what he called “clear, third-party eyes” in the process.

Patrick Clancy gives first TV interview on '60 Minutes' after Lindsay Clancy mistrial

SUMMARY: Patrick Clancy gave his first televised interview on "60 Minutes" on CBS News. The interview that aired Sunday follows a mistrial in the Massachusetts murder case against his ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy, for killing their three children. Patrick Clancy discussed his grief and addressed social media conspiracy theories linking him to the deaths. His new wife, Dr. Rachel Danis, also joined him. Earlier this month, 11 of 12 jurors were ready to clear Lindsay of criminal responsibility in the 2023 deaths, believing she suffered from postpartum psychosis. Prosecutors have not decided whether to retry the case.

AP-US-Converse-Ad-Removed

Converse apologizes and pulls sneaker ad that critics said included racist imagery

SUMMARY: Converse has removed a social media ad after backlash over an image critics said evoked racist symbols. The Instagram ad featured K-pop singer Karina holding a pair of Chuck 70 X sneakers. Critics say a white triangular image created by lighting on Karina's skirt resembled a Ku Klux Klan hood, and she held the sneakers in a way that looked like the dangling feet of a lynching victim. Converse, owned by Nike, apologized in a statement, saying it understands why the image was upsetting and promising to do better. Some online commenters defended Converse, saying they believed the ad's imagery wasn't intentional. Converse declined to provide further details about the ad on Sunday.

CNN, MS NOW, Politico sue over denied White House access, citing First Amendment

SUMMARY: CNN, MS NOW and Politico have filed a lawsuit over being denied White House access. Reporters from the three news organizations were blocked from the White House on Saturday, a day after Trump said he was barring them because of reporting he deemed “fake news.” On Monday morning, CNN was removed from its pool duties, which are shared by the major networks. The actions were an escalation of Trump’s long-running efforts in the courts and through administrative action to restrict news coverage by journalists he finds objectionable. The Republican president had said Friday he would ban all three outlets because of coverage he disliked.

AP-US-Immigration-ICE-Finding-Detainees

AP Exclusive: ICE hides locations of thousands of detainees with final removal orders

SUMMARY: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has stopped publicly revealing where it is holding most detainees who are subject to final deportation orders, in a move that has made it harder for lawyers and relatives to find them. ICE this week quietly removed the names of those detainees — who make up more 1/3 of the agency’s recent bookings — from its online detainee locator system. The practice applies to detainees who are subject to final orders of removal from an immigration court. Nearly 16,000 people who were arrested and booked into ICE detention in July were subject to final removal orders, according to ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project based at U.C. Berkeley and UCLA.

AP-US-Trump-Russia-Probe

Trump's 'grand conspiracy' probe presses on with subpoenas after the lead prosecutor’s exit

SUMMARY: Justice Department officials are pressing forward with an investigation of President Donald Trump's foes despite the departure of prosecutor Joe diGenova, who had been leading it for months. A flurry of subpoenas to former law enforcement and intelligence officials is expected to bring grand jury testimony in the weeks ahead to the home court of a favored Trump-appointed federal judge in Fort Pierce, Florida. Whether anyone ultimately will be charged, and for what, remains an open question. Investigators face not only legal hurdles and personnel upheaval but an impatient White House after more than a year of fits and starts.

AP-US-Trump-Xi-Midterms

Trump decries Democrats as 'communists,' even as he looks to impress China's communist leader

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump says that communism is the greatest threat the U.S. has ever faced. But he's hosting the leader of the world's most powerful communist country this week — Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump has denigrated Democrats for being communists ahead of the midterm elections, yet boasts about his relationship with Xi. And his political attacks have come even as he directs his administration's economic policies, which some have criticized as corporate socialism. The contradictions between Trump's words and actions risk muddying his message ahead of the November midterms, but the White House did not respond to questions about the discrepancies.

Trump says his planned arch would become a 'military complex' able to host drones and snipers

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump says the massive arch he wants to build between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery would become a “top grade military complex” able to host drones and snipers while storing ammunition. Trump said in a social media post Sunday about the arch that he was acting at the “strong request” of the military. The Pentagon says it had no information beyond the president’s statement. Meanwhile, a lawyer for a group of people suing over the project says the arch hasn't won congressional approval and shouldn't be allowed to move ahead without it.

Trump and Mamdani plan to meet in New York during the president's upcoming UN visit

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump plans to meet with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani when Trump travels to the city for the upcoming U.N. General Assembly. The meeting is set for Monday at Gracie Mansion, the mayor's official residence. Mamdani's communications director says they'll discuss issues affecting the city. The White House has also confirmed the meeting. Mamdani is a democratic socialist and has often been a political foil for Republicans. But Trump has shown warmth toward Mamdani, even after calling Mamdani a "100% Communist Lunatic" during the mayor's campaign. Their previous meetings have been cordial.

German leader faces tough time ahead after election defeats, but no sign of leadership challenge

SUMMARY: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is standing by his vow to stay in office after his party suffered two more regional election defeats and was voted out of a state legislature in a humiliating first. But he faces a struggle to keep his reform agenda intact. Minutes after polls closed on Sunday, the unpopular Merz said he planned to stay on as leader of both Germany and his center-right party, and said that he would push through reforms to Europe’s biggest economy. The chancellor said no one raised any “personnel questions” in party leadership meetings Sunday or Monday.

SUMMARY: Pakistani fighter jets have struck sites in eastern Afghanistan, targeting what officials describe as militant hideouts. Pakistan says 28 militants were killed, but Kabul reported at least three civilian deaths. The strikes have escalated tensions between the two countries, raising concerns about further hostilities.

Tiny wild cat newly identified as a species draws curious visitors in Bolivia

SUMMARY: A tiny wild cat newly identified as a species in Bolivia has become an unlikely tourist attraction. Visitors have flocked to a wildlife sanctuary near La Paz hoping to catch a glimpse of Tigrino. The small, spotted feline species was described by scientists last week. Most visitors won’t get the chance to see it, though. Tigrino is easily stressed by people, so caretakers keep him out of public view. The cat weighs just 3 pounds and is smaller than the average house cat. Scientists say Leopardus tilcayo is the first living wild cat species to be described in more than a century.

The main Kremlin party keeps control of Russian parliament after a carefully orchestrated vote

SUMMARY: Election officials say the Kremlin's main party has retained its majority in Russia’s parliament. That result came in three days of carefully orchestrated balloting — the first election since Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine 4 1/2 years ago. Results released Monday by the country's Central Election Commission say that United Russia  will get 355 out of 450 seats that the State Duma, the lower chamber of parliament. Most opposition candidates were excluded from the election as the Kremlin tightened its crackdown in Russian politics during the war. Voting also was held in illegally annexed regions of Ukraine, and the authorities in Kyiv denounced it, urging other countries not to recognize it.
