Just four minutes.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
A federal judge is blocking the Trump administration policies aimed
at expanding fast tracked deportations. On Friday, US District Judge
Giacobb in Washington, DC ruled in favor of an immigrant
rights group who argued the policy's violate constitutional due process rights.
Cobb noted the group being targeted had entered the country

(00:28):
long ago, unlike migrants who were detained shortly after crossing
the border. A Department of Homeland Security official said Friday's
ruling ignored President Trump's legal authority and undermines the integrity
of the immigration system. Former Vice President Kamala Harris will
be protected by the California Highway Patrol after losing her
Secret Service detail. Citing law enforcement sources, The La Times

(00:52):
reports Harris will get dignitary protection after President Trump revoked
her Secret Service protection. Nick Harper has more.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Secret Service protection is something that presidents, vice presidents and
other high ranking officials receive without restrictions during their time
in office, but when vice presidents leave, they usually receive
just six months of additional security. Former President Joe Biden
gave Kamala Harris extended protection of up to eighteen months.
Donald Trump has now stepped in to end.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
That the mother of the Minneapolis church shooter has hired
a criminal defense attorney. Minneapolis police say they've been talking
with Robin Westman's family members, and their quote has been
conversation with the suspect's mother, Mary Grace Westman. Records show
that she lives in Florida, and her attorney said she
had no comment at this time. It's unclear if she
or any other family members faced potential charges in the case.

(01:46):
Police are still looking for a motive in Wednesday's shooting
at a Catholic school that killed two children and injured

traditional barbecue is up over two percent from this time
last year. I'm Lisa Carton. Democratic Congressman John Gerrimendy warns

(02:09):
that federal budget cuts could harm local hospitals and patients.
He criticizes President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill for potentially weaking
healthcare systems and hindering responses to future health crises. How
will we deal with the next pandemic, the next COVID vaccinations?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
All of those things are at risk.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
It's time for America to really be aware of what
is happening and to push back. The bill cuts funding
to Medicaid and other programs. Garri Mendy says the upcoming
twenty twenty six elections will be crucial for healthcare services.
Republican leaders say the Big Beautiful Bill provides the biggest
tax cut ever. They say it will also boost the
economy and national security. In Colorado, the superintendent of Denver

(02:52):
Public Schools is firing back at the Trump administration on
all gender bathrooms and schools. Rob Dawson reports.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
This stems from the Department of Education's assertion DPS's violated
Title nine regulations by converting some bathrooms in schools to
all gender. Super attended doctor Alex Morero says it has
never been true that Title nine prohibits the use of
multi saw all gender bathrooms and says he stands with
LGBTQ plus students. The Trump administration says DPS should convert

(03:21):
the restaurants back to those by gender or risk even
an enforcement action.

this four day holiday weekend. I'm Lisa Carton.
