US will try to deport Abrego Garcia before his trial, Justice Department attorney says
SUMMARY: A U.S. government attorney says it will initiate deportation proceedings against Kilmar Abrego Garcia if he's released from jail before trial on human smuggling charges. Justice Department attorney Jonathan Guynn made the disclosure to a federal judge in Maryland on Monday. It contradicts statements by officials from the Justice Department and the White House last month. Those officials said Abrego Garcia would stand trial before any move is made to deport him. Abrego Garcia became a flashpoint over President Donald Trump's immigration policies after he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March.

The Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice says the archive will be available online in the fall. The collection of rare TV footage, documents, and firsthand accounts will illustrate Rustin’s life and influence. He was a mentor to the Rev.

Woman at son's Pennsylvania murder trial recounts finding husband's decapitated corpse
SUMMARY: Trial is underway in Pennsylvania of a man accused of killing his father and posting a video of his severed head online. Prosecutors say 33-year-old Justin Mohn shot his father, Michael Mohn, at their home in Levittown in January 2024 before decapitating him. Authorities say Justin Mohn posted the 14-minute YouTube video, which included anti-government rants. His mother testified Monday about finding her husband's body in a first-floor bathroom. Justin Mohn was arrested later the same day after authorities say he climbed a 20-foot fence at the state’s National Guard headquarters. Officials say he had photos of federal buildings and apparent instructions for making explosives on a USB drive.
