NewsAssociated PressUS judge criticizes plan to reunify families split at border
A federal judge, responding to a plan to reunify children separated at the border, said he was having second thoughts about his belief that the Trump administration was acting in good faith to comply with his orders. The Justice Department on Friday filed a plan to reunify more than 2,500 children age 5 and older by a court-imposed deadline of July 26 using "truncated" procedures to verify parentage and perform background checks, which exclude DNA testing and other steps it took to reunify children under 5. The administration said the abbreviated vetting puts children at significant safety risk but is needed to meet the deadline.

Protests Erupt After Chicago Police Fatally Shoot Man Identified As Local Black Barber
An intense protest broke out in Chicago on Saturday evening after a police officer fatally shot a man whom officers said appeared to be armed. The officers reported they “saw a subject that they thought might have been armed around his waistband,” Police Chief Fred Waller said at a press conference late Saturday. Officers approached the man, who became combative and tried to push the officers’ hands away. The man began “flailing and swinging” at the officers, Waller said, and as he tried to escape, he appeared to reach for his weapon, which prompted the officer to shoot. Waller described it as a “semi-automatic weapon” and said he had “magazines” on him. While police have not publicly identified the victim, Black Youth Project 100, an activist organization based in Chicago, said he was Harith “Snoop” Augustus, an African-American barber and father. Black Youth Project interviewed one of Augustus’ friends at the barbershop, who said he was a quiet and good man.

FCC Casts Doubt On Sinclair-Tribune Deal
U.S. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai has “serious concerns” about a proposed megadeal between Sinclair Broadcast Group and Tribune Media Co., he said Monday. Rather than sign off on the $3.9 billion deal as proposed, Pai said he’s asked the FCC to submit it for a hearing in front of an administrative law judge ― a potentially lengthy process that could quash Sinclair’s bid entirely. “The evidence we’ve received suggests that certain station divestitures that have been proposed to the FCC would allow Sinclair to control those stations in practice, even if not in name, in violation of the law,” he said.
