Not use to snow & freezing temps? Here’s how to keep your home, car safe
SUMMARY: Florida is experiencing unusual freezing temperatures and snow, prompting AAA to offer safety advice. To protect homes, residents should remove hoses from exterior faucets, allow faucets to drip, and ensure they know their water shutoff valve location. Frozen pipes can cause significant damage, averaging $11,000 in repairs. For cars, AAA recommends using an ice scraper, checking tire pressure, and avoiding warming the car in enclosed spaces. Drivers should check weather conditions, pack an emergency kit, and maintain a safe distance on icy roads. In emergencies, stay in the car and avoid running the engine to save gas.

President Donald Trump will watch US Open men’s singles final from Rolex suite, AP source says
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.

Legal aid group sues to preemptively block U.S. from deporting a dozen Honduran children
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.
