SUMMARY: The City of Fernandina Beach fired its city attorney, Tammi Bach, during a meeting on Tuesday night, with Commissioner Tim Poynter citing a lack of confidence in her and the desire to remove politics from the legal department. Bach, the longest-serving charter officer, did not speak before the vote. Vice Mayor Darron Ayscue was the only commissioner to oppose her firing, comparing the situation to the previous termination of the city manager, Dale Martin, in 2023. Bach will be on administrative leave for 30 days before her official termination. The city faces several ongoing legal battles.

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump will attend the U.S. Open men’s final at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday, his first appearance since 2015. He will watch from Rolex’s suite, a company that recently faced tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. The U.S. Tennis Association stated that any negative reactions during the match won’t be aired. Trump, who has a history with the tournament, once controlled a suite there but suspended it in 2017. Having a sitting president at the U.S. Open is rare, with Bill Clinton being the last in 2000. Trump’s recent sports event appearances include the Super Bowl and Daytona 500.

SUMMARY: A legal aid group, the Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project (FIRRP), has sued to block the U.S. government from deporting 12 Honduran children, citing “credible” information about imminent removal plans. This lawsuit amends a recent case that temporarily halted the deportation of Guatemalan migrant children. FIRRP fears these actions violate the children’s rights to seek protection in the U.S. The Trump administration previously attempted to deport Guatemalan children, prompting legal challenges and a federal judge’s intervention. The lawsuit demands these children access immigration judges, legal counsel, and placement in settings best for their welfare.
