Vice President Kamala Harris visited the US-Mexico border in Arizona, where she was briefed by two customs and border protection officials. Walking along the rust-colored border wall, she spoke with officers about their efforts to combat traffickers and transnational criminal organizations. Harris later delivered a speech in Douglas, Arizona, calling for tougher law enforcement action at the border.
Amidst Harris’ visit, former President Donald Trump spoke at a campaign event in Michigan, where he criticized Harris over border security. He highlighted data showing criminal illegal aliens on ICE’s Non-Detained Docket and blamed Harris for the situation. Trump also threatened to prosecute Google for allegedly displaying negative stories about him while favoring positive stories about Harris.
As politicians focus on border security, extreme heat in states like Arizona is becoming a growing deadly threat, with record numbers of heat-related deaths. In Maricopa County, Arizona, 664 fatalities are believed to be linked to the heat this year, while southern Nevada has seen the highest number of heat-related deaths ever recorded.
In the midst of these events, the US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Alabama for last-minute voter purges, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled to keep Robert F Kennedy Jr.’s name on the state’s presidential ballot. These developments highlight the complex and pressing issues facing the country across different sectors.
