US plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a country that’s not El Salvador, prosecutor tells judge
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump’s administration plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a “third country” after his release from jail in Tennessee, rather than his native El Salvador, a federal prosecutor told a judge. There is no set timeline for the deportation, and the government intends to comply with court orders. Abrego Garcia, mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March despite a 2019 immigration judge’s order protecting him, faces human smuggling charges in the U.S. His attorneys seek to keep him in Maryland pending trial to prevent deportation. The case remains under judicial review, with a hearing set for July 7.

5 teen boys caught on video using two stolen cars during crash-and-grab at Memphis gas station
SUMMARY: Five teenage boys were caught on surveillance video using two stolen cars to smash into a BP gas station in Midtown Memphis during a crash-and-grab. The incident occurred just before 5 a.m. and caused over $50,000 in damages, mostly to the front door. The teens used a stolen black Infiniti and a red Toyota RAV4 to ram the building, then rushed inside to steal cash and cigarettes, taking at least $4,000 in cash and multiple cigarette boxes. Police link one car to a recent carjacking. Authorities are still searching for the juveniles, while the community calls for greater parental accountability and youth programs.
A crash-and-grab in Midtown: five teens, two stolen cars, and a gas station left in pieces. The whole thing was over in minutes and it was all caught on camera. Thieves ram stolen cars into the BP gas station on Poplar Avenue and North Cleveland Street.

Newsmaker: BBB on avoiding travel scams
SUMMARY: During the summer travel season, scammers target vacationers by exploiting social media posts and unsolicited communications. Robyn Householder from the Better Business Bureau advises never to respond to unexpected offers and always verify bookings directly with the service provider. Researching reviews and checking BBB ratings are essential. Use credit cards for payments since they offer fraud protection, unlike debit cards, gift cards, or apps like Venmo. When traveling, set up alerts with your bank to monitor card use, especially internationally due to skimming risks. Lastly, avoid posting vacation updates on social media until after returning home to prevent informing potential thieves about your empty house.
