(AP) Lawyers seeking a temporary restraining order against an immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades say that “Alligator Alcatraz” detainees have been barred from meeting attorneys. They also say that the detainees are being held without any charges and that federal immigration courts have canceled bond hearings. A virtual hearing in federal court in Miami was held Monday over the lawsuit. Critics have condemned the facility as a cruel and inhumane threat to detainees, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other Republican state officials have defended it as part of the state’s aggressive push to support President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Vice President JD Vance has hit his home state to continue promoting the GOP’s sweeping tax-and-border bill. He was in Canton, Ohio, on Monday to talk about the bill’s benefits for American families and businesses. His speech before a crowd at the Metallus Inc. steel mill marks Vance’s second trip this month to sell the package that Republicans call the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” as he becomes its chief promoter on the road. In West Pittston, Pennsylvania, this month, Vance told attendees at an industrial machine shop that they should be able to keep more of their pay in their pockets. The White House sees the new law as a political boon, sending Vance to promote it in swing congressional districts.

(AP) A federal judge says Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for Medicaid funding. The judged ruled Monday as the nation’s largest abortion provider fights President Donald Trump’s administration over efforts to defund the organization in his signature tax legislation. The new order replaces a previous edict that initially granted a preliminary injunction. That injunction specifically blocked the government from cutting Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood members that didn’t provide abortion care or didn’t meet a threshold of at least $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements in a given year. Although Planned Parenthood is not specifically named in the statute, which went into effect July 4, the organization’s leaders say it was meant to affect their nearly 600 centers in 48 states. However, a major medical provider in Maine and likely others have also been hit.

BERLIN (AP) — Investigators believe a landslide brought on by heavy rainfall likely caused a regional train to derail in southern Germany, killing three people and injuring 41 more. More than 100 people were aboard the Deutsche Bahn train Sunday when at least two carriages derailed in a forested area near Riedlingen, west of Munich. The train’s 32-year-old driver, a 36-year-old apprentice and a 70-year-old passenger were killed and some of the 41 injured were seriously hurt, police said Monday. Police say the downpours in the area caused a sewage shaft to overflow, likely triggering the landslide of an embankment where the derailment occurred. “Such pictures shake us to the core,” Deutsche Bahn CEO Richard Lutz said Monday, offering his condolences to the victims’ families. He pledged full support for the effort to clear up the cause.

LONDON (AP) — Chinese online retailer is being accused by European Union regulators of breaching the bloc’s digital rules by failing to stop the sale of illegal products. The preliminary findings released Monday follow an investigation under the bloc’s Digital Services Act, which requires online platforms to keep users safe. The European Commission said a “mystery shopping exercise” found non-compliant products on Temu, including baby toys and small electronics. Temu stated it will cooperate with the Commission. The company has the chance to respond before a final decision. Violations could lead to fines up to 6% of a company’s annual global revenue.
