Wait, US citizens can be detained, too?
Beaches across America are sometimes foul. The Arctic is on fire. And we've found "the one" for you (it's a dog). It's Ashley. Here's Tuesday's news.

U.S. teen held for weeks by immigration authorities
An 18-year-old American citizen was released from federal custody Tuesday after being held for nearly a month after he and his brother were detained by U.S. Border Patrol agents while en route to a soccer camp in Texas. Francisco Erwin Galicia, 18, and his brother Marlon, 17, were detained June 27 at the checkpoint in Falfurrias about 80 miles from the Rio Grande. Marlon, who is not a U.S. citizen, agreed to be deported, but Francisco was held, The Dallas Morning News reported, even after his birth certificate was provided more than a week ago.
*Taps mic* You might be swimming in feces
There's “poop in the water” at America's dirtiest beaches, where bacteria counts could sicken swimmers. That's according to a new report from Environment America. Beaches are safe on most days, but bacteria counts on certain days can spike, and fecal matter from animals – or people – is the chief culprit, researchers found. Cabrillo Beach in Los Angeles' port town of San Pedro leads the list of California beaches that saw the highest percentage of days with a bacteria count deemed potentially dangerous. Is your beach on the list?
Britain's prime minister is like Trump. Only he isn't.
Boris Johnson will succeed Theresa May as Britain's new prime minister, and the incoming leader faces a bumpy ride to finish the nation's stalled exit from the European Union (also known as Brexit). May ends her term Wednesday, when Johnson begins his. Johnson was odds-on favorite to win Tuesday's election, but who is this guy? He's eccentric, prone to gaffes, often disheveled and has a tendency to offend allies and foes alike. That's drawn comparisons to President Donald Trump. "He’s a different kind of a guy, but they say I’m a different kind of a guy, too," Trump said last week.
Fun fact: Johnson is a direct descendant of King George II.

America's next deadly wildfire: The risks are everywhere
Paradise, California, burned in the state’s deadliest wildfire nearly a year ago. Eighty-five people died, nearly 19,000 buildings were destroyed and many said no one could have anticipated the disaster. That last bit isn't correct: Worst-case fires are a historic and inevitable fact, and the same factors that doomed Paradise put hundreds of other towns at risk, according to an Arizona Republic and USA TODAY analysis of fire hazards across 760 million acres of the American West.

Shaun White wants Olympic gold – in skateboarding
Olympics juggernaut Shaun White is carving out another path for the Olympics, but not in snowboarding. The three-time Olympic snowboarding gold medalist announced plans to compete in the world skateboarding championships in Brazil this September, putting the 32-year-old on track for the sport's first Olympic competition at the Tokyo 2020 Games. It’s not that crazy, either: White holds the record for the most skateboarding gold medals (five) in X-Games history. Plus, he's had a great mentor: Tony Hawk.
