What we know about National Guard deployment in Chicago and Portland
SUMMARY: Illinois has followed California and Oregon in filing lawsuits to stop President Donald Trump from sending in hundreds of National Guard troops to Democrat-led big cities. The lawsuit filed Monday by Illinois and Chicago alleges that Trump’s authorization Saturday to deploy 300 troops to the Windy City is “unlawful and dangerous.” Trump continues to flex federal power and claims the troops are needed to protect federal buildings during immigration enforcement efforts. But a federal judge on Sunday told Trump he couldn’t send troops to Oregon — hours after that state’s governor said 101 California National Guard members already had arrived Saturday with more on the way and headed to Portland.

DOJ contradicts DeSantis: Some detainees at 'Alligator Alcatraz' likely never in removal proceedings
SUMMARY: U.S. government lawyers say detainees at the Florida Everglades immigration detention center, known as "Alligator Alcatraz," likely include people who have never been in removal proceedings. This contradicts Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's claims since the facility opened in July. The U.S. Department of Justice made this admission Thursday in a court filing. They argue that detainees don't have enough in common to be certified as a class in a lawsuit over access to attorneys. Civil rights groups allege detainees have been denied proper access to legal counsel, violating their constitutional rights. DeSantis's office hasn't responded to requests for comment.

Chicago and Illinois sue to stop Trump’s Guard deployment plan after Portland ruling
SUMMARY: Illinois and Chicago have filed a lawsuit aiming to stop President Donald Trump's administration from sending hundreds of National Guard troops to Chicago. Trump moved to deploy National Guard troops from another city on Saturday by authorizing 300 troops to protect federal officers and assets in Chicago. Trump has long threatened to send troops to Chicago, but it was not immediately clear when or exactly where they would be deployed. The lawsuit was filed on Monday, just as troops prepared to deploy and just hours after a federal judge blocked their deployment to Portland, Oregon.

Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from sending National Guard troops to Oregon
SUMMARY: A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying any National Guard units to Oregon, including the California National Guard. California and Oregon sought the temporary restraining order after the president sent guard members from California to Oregon earlier Sunday. On Saturday, the same judge temporarily blocked the administration from deploying Oregon National Guard troops to Portland. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, who was appointed by President Donald Trump during his first term, issued her second, more sweeping order late Sunday after she upbraided the federal government’s attorney and questioned how the move to send the California and Texas troops to Oregon was not “in direct contravention of the order that was issued yesterday.”

Gunmen kill two, injure 12 in a shootout in a crowd in Alabama capital city's downtown
SUMMARY: Authorities say rival gunmen shot at each other in a crowded downtown nightlife district in Alabama’s capital city, killing two people and injuring 12 others. Montgomery Police Chief James Graboys said five people wounded in Saturday night's shootings were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Those killed included a 43-year-old woman and a 17-year-old male. Police were called around 11:30 p.m. to what Graboys described as a “mass shooting" in which two rival parties were firing at each other in the middle of a crowd without regard for the people around them. Graboys said investigators were combing through evidence and interviewing potential suspects, although no one had been charged as of Sunday afternoon.

Using helicopters and chemical agents, immigration agents become increasingly aggressive in Chicago
SUMMARY: Activists, residents and elected leaders say increasingly combative tactics used by federal immigration agents are sparking violence and fueling neighborhood tensions in the nation’s third-largest city. That includes storming an apartment complex by helicopter as families slept and deploying chemical agents near a public school. About 1,000 immigrants have been arrested since an immigration crackdown started last month in the Chicago area. But U.S. citizens, immigrants with legal status and children have been among those taken into custody in increasingly brazen and aggressive encounters which pop up daily across neighborhoods in the city of 2.7 million and its many suburbs.

Kids in New York keep dying while 'subway surfing' on top of trains. Can they be stopped?
SUMMARY: New York City is trying to deter dangerous “subway surfing” through education programs, but some transportation advocates and lawmakers say it's not enough. They say making trains harder to climb and train surfers more easy to detect might need to be part of the solution. One subway driver says locking the doors at the ends of train cars might help prevent people from climbing onto the roof. Six people died surfing New York City subway trains last year, which was one more than in 2023. The NYPD reported that arrests of alleged subway surfers rose to 229 last year, up from 135 the year before. The youngest was 9 years old.

Supreme Court rejects appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, imprisoned former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein
SUMMARY: The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned ex-girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein. The justices Monday declined to take up a case that would've renewed attention on the Epstein sexual-abuse saga after President Donald Trump’s administration sought to tamp down criticism over its refusal to publicly release more investigative files. Trump’s Republican administration had urged the high court to stay out of the case. Lawyers for Maxwell argued she never should've been tried or convicted for a role in luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by Epstein. Maxwell is serving 20 years and recently was transferred from a Florida prison to a Texas prison camp.

Voting is underway in California on new maps that could swing US House control, check Trump's power
SUMMARY: The fight for control of the U.S. House is underway in California. Voters are considering whether to drastically reshape congressional districts to add as many as five Democratic seats in advance of the 2026 midterm elections. The plan championed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is intended to offset Trump’s moves in Texas to gain five Republican districts ahead of the midterms. Ballots are arriving at voters' homes and voting concludes on Nov. 4. The outcome of the election could determine which party controls the closely divided House and the reach of President Donald Trump’s power in the second half of his term.

Government shutdown entering sixth day as Republicans and Democrats remain at an impasse
SUMMARY: Washington lawmakers remain at a standstill over reopening the government, showing few signs of progress as President Donald Trump says layoffs are “taking place right now.” Both parties believe public opinion supports their stance, with Democrats pushing for health insurance subsidies and Trump aiming to maintain current spending levels. The shutdown adds to economic uncertainty, with hiring slowing and inflation high. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday criticized Republicans for not negotiating. Talks remain unproductive, with a Senate vote failing to advance a Republican bill.

Trump doesn't let shutdown interfere with celebrating Navy's 250th anniversary at rally-like event
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump is marking the Navy's 250th anniversary by joining a celebration at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia. Trump did not let the government shutdown interfere with his stop in Norfolk, Virginia, on Sunday. Trump treated the event as both a commemoration of the Navy’s history and his own record as a president. The president criticized his political opponents and attacked Democratic lawmakers as the shutdown was in its fifth day, causing military personnel to work without pay until the government reopens. The president and first lady Melania Trump watched a military demonstration while standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier.

At America's national parks in the Trump era, the arc of history bends toward revisionism
SUMMARY: The National Park Service under President Donald Trump is looking to reshape what it tells Americans about their history. Park managers are under orders to make their stories more “uplifting." But the history of slavery doesn't lend itself to a happier narrative. At some parks, officials tell The Associated Press that brochures have been pulled for revision and employees have been told to purge references to “enslavers." Even so, a guided tour at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, still presents an unflinching story from the town where John Brown mounted a violent raid to free the enslaved and stirred anti-slavery public opinion on the cusp of the Civil War.

For many Palestinians in Gaza, anticipation, hope and skepticism over talks on a possible ceasefire
SUMMARY: Palestinians in Gaza are anxiously following indirect talks between Israeli and Hamas officials in Egypt. Some express cautious optimism about a potential deal to stop the war and release hostages. Others are skeptical, citing past disappointments and uncertainties about Gaza’s future. The talks Monday come on the eve of the second anniversary of the Israel-Hamas war. Israel's offensive in Gaza, launched after Hamas' attack on October 7, 2023, has caused significant devastation and displacement and killed tens of thousands of Palestinians.

French premier resigns hours after naming government, plunging France further into political chaos
SUMMARY: France's new prime minister has resigned just a day after naming his government and less than a month in office. Sébastien Lecornu was France’s fourth prime minister in barely a year. The French presidency said Monday that President Emmanuel Macron accepted his resignation. Lecornu's choice of ministers had faced criticism across the political spectrum. His decision to bring back former Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire to serve at the defense ministry was particularly controversial. It is now up to Macron either to name a new head of government or to dissolve the National Assembly and call early legislative elections.

The Nobel Prize in medicine goes to 3 scientists for key immune system discoveries
SUMMARY: Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Dr. Shimon Sakaguchi have won the Nobel Prize in medicine for discoveries about how the body ensures immune cells attack intruders but not our own tissues. Their findings advanced the search for autoimmune disease treatments, as well as work in cancer and organ transplants. The Nobel Assembly announced the award Monday. Sakaguchi first discovered regulatory T cells in 1995. In 2001, Brunkow and Ramsdell identified a gene mutation involved in autoimmune diseases. Sakaguchi later connected these findings to explain a previously unknown way the body keeps the immune system in check. The trio will share nearly $1.2 million in prize money.

Latest French government's collapse within 14 hours deepens Macron's political crisis
SUMMARY: French President Emmanuel Macron faces a political crisis after his prime minister resigned on Monday. This marks Macron's fourth prime minister in just over a year. The resignation adds to the political uncertainty in France, which is affecting investor confidence and efforts to address the country's deficit. Macron's authority appears to be waning, and his options are limited. The French parliament is divided, with no party holding a majority, making governance difficult. Macron could dissolve parliament again, but this risks strengthening the far-right. Despite the turmoil, Macron remains focused on international issues like Ukraine and the Middle East.

Kremlin welcomes Trump's comments on Putin's offer to extend the New START nuclear arms pact
SUMMARY: The Kremlin has welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments about Russia’s offer to extend the last remaining nuclear arms treaty with the United States, saying it raises hope for keeping the pact alive after it expires in February. Last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared his readiness to adhere to nuclear arms limits under the New START arms reduction treaty for one more year, and he urged Washington to follow suit. When asked about the proposal, Trump said Sunday it “sounds like a good idea to me.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov welcomed that statement Monday, noting that “it gives grounds for optimism that the United States will support President Putin’s initiative.”

Somali government forces end a 6-hour siege at a major prison, killing all 7 attackers
SUMMARY: Somali government forces have ended a six-hour siege by militants at a major prison near the president’s office in Mogadishu. The government said on Sunday that all seven attackers were killed. The attack, claimed by the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group, occurred on Saturday. No civilians or security officers were killed. The siege followed the lifting of long-standing roadblocks in Mogadishu. These barriers had been in place for years to protect government sites. Mogadishu had been relatively calm recently as government forces pushed al-Shabab fighters out of several areas in central and southern Somalia.

Silly mistakes, costly blunders and head-scratching decisions led to sloppy football
SUMMARY: Sunday was filled with sloppy football, silly mistakes and head-scratching decisions. Another NFL player gave away a touchdown by carelessly dropping the ball before he crossed the goal line. A roughing-the-kicker penalty erased a touchdown return in a different game. The Super Bowl champions ignored their record-setting running back. The most egregious play of Week 5 occurred when Cardinals running back Emari Demercado turned a 72-yard touchdown run into a touchback by slowing down near the goal line and releasing the ball as Titans cornerback L’Jarius Sneed swiped at his arm. Officials initially ruled it a touchdown but a video review showed Demercado didn’t have possession when he entered the end zone.
