A provocative form of protest could become a criminal act. The man at the center of President Trump's immigration debate is facing deportation – again. And get ready for some drama with this reality show reunion. |
👋 Hello! Rebecca Morin here. Some sun? Check. A new show to binge? Check. Monday's news? CHECK! |
Penalizing a form of speech? |
Courts have said it's a First Amendment right: You can burn an American flag. Now, President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday seeking to penalize people who burn flags associated with other violence, such as inciting a riot. The Supreme Court in 1989 ruled in a 5-4 decision that burning a flag itself is a form of political expression and isn't illegal. |
How is that legal? Attorney General Pam Bondi said Trump's goal of prosecuting flag-burning could be accomplished without violating the high court's decision. The executive order focuses on a provision in the Supreme Court decisions that Trump argued said "fighting words," or speech inciting lawless action, aren't protected by the First Amendment. What to know about the executive order. | Anti-Trump protesters burn U.S. flags near the White House on July 4, 2020. Alex Wong, Getty Images |
The man at the center of Trump's immigration debate |
He was wrongfully deported to a Salvadoran mega-prison. Then he was transferred to face charges in Tennessee. After being released last week and returning to Maryland, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was once again detained by U.S. immigration officials on Monday and could be deported again, his lawyer said. |
When was he detained? Officials detained Abrego Garcia, 30, within 60 seconds after he reported to an interview at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Baltimore, three days after being released from criminal custody in Tennessee. |
Facing deportation: Abrego Garcia could be deported to Uganda or Costa Rica. A federal judge on Monday afternoon issued a two-day stay of removal, which means he could not be deported before Thursday. The stay could be extended, barring his removal until the judge reaches a decision on the case. Another hearing is set for Friday. 👉 Why Abergo Garcia faces deportation again. | Kilmar Abrego, with his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, appears at the ICE field office in Baltimore.

Oasis makes it to North America |
Sometimes, siblings fight. But luckily for those who have been waiting more than a decade to see Oasis, the warring Gallagher brothers have kept it together to make it across the pond. The Britpop-rock goliaths kicked off the North American leg of their Oasis Live '25 Tour in Toronto on Sunday, the start of a run that will also hit Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. For the 50,000 fans at Toronto's Rogers Stadium, please let me know if you got goosebumps singing "Wonderwall."

The Islanders are also reunited |
It's been more like Drama Island if you ask me. The "Love Island USA" Season 7 reunion premieres Monday at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock, bringing an end to an epic summer of romance and drama. The reunion will be hosted by Ariana Madix and reality television host Andy Cohen. There's no doubt it will be a lot like the show – plenty of tension, some bombshells (though this time it won't be a hot new contestant) and possibly some crash-outs. Either way, I'm getting my popcorn ready. Relive the season with these top moments. | Cast members of the "Love Island USA" Season 7 are pictured after a challenge on the reality TV show.
