A U.S. Army sergeant’s Honduran wife was deported after being picked up at a Walmart—despite her husband becoming a citizen just two years ago. They say they never received official notice of her deportation order, though Homeland Security confirms a judge issued it.

Arizona’s Attorney General is digging into Glendale’s councilmember stipends and vehicle allowances after complaints they’re secretly boosting pay without voter approval. The city attorney fires back, insisting the policy is legal under local law and just covers work-related expenses—not salary. He points to a 2022 closed-door session where legal advice was sought.

Arizona’s cattle border is back open after a 15-month shutdown to stop the spread of New World Screwworm, now armed with detector dogs and ear tags — a move that’ll cost Mexican ranchers and U.S. feeders hundreds of millions, but industry leaders say it’s just the beginning of recovery. With beef prices unlikely to drop anytime soon due to supply gaps and processing delays, economists warn rebuilding will take months — while some ranchers push back against import relief, arguing live cattle

The Supreme Court has signaled it might let President Trump move forward with his mail-in voting restrictions ahead of the midterms—but don’t expect a clean sweep.
