At least 19 people in New Jersey are believed to have died from heat-related causes after several days of record-breaking temperatures, according to state officials. Many of the victims were found in homes without air conditioning as temperatures climbed above 100 degrees in parts of the state. Officials say the prolonged heat placed dangerous stress on vulnerable residents. As the heat wave begins to ease, severe storms have swept across the eastern U.S., knocking out power to nearly one million homes and businesses and raising concerns about additional flash flooding and dangerous weather.

The Trump administration plans to open a new 528-bed ICE facility in central Louisiana designed to process migrant families and unaccompanied children awaiting deportation. The facility will be built at a former military base in Alexandria, adjacent to one of the nation's busiest hubs for deportation flights. Immigration and Customs Enforcement describes the site as a "staging facility," not a detention center. Immigration advocates say the proposal raises concerns about whether children could be held longer than limits established under existing court agreements and legal protections.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Olympian was indicted Thursday on a felony charge in what President Donald Trump has called vandalism of the Reflecting Pool. David Hearn, a former Olympic canoe racer, was indicted on a single count of property destruction in Washington, D.C. court. He previously told The Associated Press that he reached into the pool to examine the newly peeled coating. Hearn, 67, said he stopped by the pool during a 64-mile bike ride. Trump has said federal authorities made “multiple arrests” of people he said were vandalizing the Reflecting Pool following a $14-million-plus rehabilitation project he launched for the nation’s 250th anniversary.

NEW YORK (AP) — A daredevil couple has been arrested after scaling the Empire State Building’s antenna and unfurling a banner about “the power of love” and peace. It was apparently part of an audacious, high-altitude marriage proposal. The Russian climbers go by Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus. They were the subject of a 2024 Netflix documentary called “Skywalkers.” It’s unclear how the pair gained access to the antenna. Police identified the two climbers by their formal names, Angelina Nikolau and Ivan Kuznetsov. They were arrested on burglary, reckless endangerment and other charges. It's not immediately clear whether they have attorneys who can speak to the charges. An assistant says the couple is unavailable.

With wildfires raging across the western U.S., cities and states are restricting fireworks as the nation gears up for a big Fourth of July. Utah has banned personal fireworks due to extreme wildfire risk. Governors in Colorado and New Mexico are urging restraint, while cities from the Southwest to Oregon and Washington have imposed their own restrictions. Record dry conditions have elevated the risk this year, with hundreds of wildfires erupting throughout the West in the past week alone. Officials are encouraging families to attend professional displays instead of lighting fireworks at home.
