Eye on your money: Here's how to host your July 4th party for $100
SUMMARY: A July 4th party for ten people is estimated to cost about $130, up 2% from last year. CBS News Miami’s Lisa Petrillo partnered with Publix at Brier Bay to see if it could be done for $100 or less. Utilizing weekly sales, buy-one-get-one deals, and budget-friendly options like chicken, in-season produce, and bringing your own beverages, Lisa shopped smartly. She bought gourmet burgers, sausages, sides like macaroni and potato salad, fresh corn, chips, festive flowers, cupcakes, and apple pie, all under $100, saving nearly $30. Experts recommend comparison shopping, preparing produce yourself, and using larger beverage containers for further savings.
Planning a festive Fourth of July celebration on a budget is possible, according to a new challenge taken on by CBS News Miami and Publix Super Markets.

Maddie Soto case: Stephan Sterns’ pre-trial for sex crimes taking place today
SUMMARY: A pretrial hearing is being held today for Stephan Stearns, accused of sexually abusing and killing 13-year-old Maddie Soto. The current case focuses on sexual assault charges, with Stearns facing six counts including sexual battery, molestation, and possession of child pornography. The trial has faced multiple delays; it was postponed from May to July as attorneys requested more preparation time. A key issue is whether evidence from Stearns’ cell phone, obtained without a warrant, will be admissible. The defense argues consent was limited, while prosecutors say urgent evidence destruction justified their actions. A judge’s ruling on the evidence is pending.
Today, there will be a pre-trial hearing in the Stephan Sterns case. Sterns is accused of killing and sexually abusing 13-year-old Maddie Soto. FOX 35’s Amanda McKenzie shares updates on the case.

US judge says China’s Huawei Technologies must face criminal case for racketeering and other charges
SUMMARY: A U.S. judge ruled that Huawei Technologies must face criminal charges, rejecting the company’s request to dismiss allegations in a 16-count indictment. Huawei is accused of stealing U.S. trade secrets, installing surveillance equipment in Iran, violating U.S. sanctions by doing business in North Korea, and fraud involving a Hong Kong shell company. CFO Meng Wanzhou was previously arrested in Canada but released in a prisoner swap. China accuses the U.S. of economic bullying and misuse of national security claims. Huawei has struggled under U.S. sanctions, focusing on domestic markets and developing its own technology to adapt.

‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Opens in Florida amid protests, praise, and legal threats
SUMMARY: Florida opened a controversial migrant detention center, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” at a near-defunct Everglades airport, sparking protests, legal challenges, and political fanfare. The facility, praised by Trump and DeSantis, can hold 3,000 detainees with extensive security and amenities. Officials emphasize voluntary departure options for migrants, with same-day deportation flights. Environmental groups oppose the center, citing bypassed impact studies, while immigration lawyers raise due process concerns. Costing over $450 million, Florida currently funds the project, expecting federal reimbursement. Public opinion is divided, with recent polls showing declining immigration approval for Trump. The first migrants are set to arrive soon, barring legal blocks.
