Inside 'Alligator Alcatraz': Lawmakers will tour Florida migrant facility amid controversy
SUMMARY: Lawmakers will tour Florida’s new migrant detention center, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” amid allegations of inhumane conditions. Immigration attorneys report detainees lack access to medicine, running water, and due process. Florida and White House officials deny these claims, calling them fake news and asserting the facility meets higher standards than most prisons. After a previous denied access citing safety concerns, a tour for state and federal lawmakers is scheduled with no press or staff allowed. Critics label the visit scripted, planning unannounced future inspections. Republicans applaud the transparency while Democrats push for unrestricted access and documentation to verify conditions.
Florida lawmakers are preparing to tour the state’s new migrant detention and deportation facility this weekend.

Thousands gather in Srebrenica on 30th anniversary of Europe’s only acknowledged genocide since WWII
SUMMARY: Thousands gathered in Srebrenica to mark the 30th anniversary of the 1995 massacre where over 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys were killed—Europe’s only genocide since the Holocaust. Seven newly identified victims were buried at the expanding cemetery near Srebrenica. Families often bury only partial remains due to scattered mass graves. The massacre began after Bosnian Serb forces seized the UN safe zone, executing victims and attempting to hide evidence by scattering remains. Despite U.N. court rulings, Bosnian Serbs and Serbia deny the genocide label. Serbia’s president called it a “terrible crime” and urged change for the future.

Here’s what you need to know about hurricane supplies
SUMMARY: Hurricane season is underway in South Florida, but many people have delayed buying supplies due to a slow start and waiting for deals. A new hurricane sales tax holiday starts August 1 and will be year-round, offering savings on essential items. Meanwhile, Amazon Prime Day features big discounts on batteries, lanterns, emergency radios, and solar generators, often better than the upcoming tax holiday. Walmart also has some deals, while Target has fewer. Experts advise spreading out purchases weekly until the tax holiday to ease costs. With the first major hurricane expected around August 11, it’s wise to prepare now.
NEXT Weather team meteorologist Scott Withers reports on what you need to know about hurricane supplies.
