PARK RIDGE, Ill. (AP) — It was 3:30 a.m. when 10 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers gathered in a parking lot in the Chicago suburbs for a briefing about a suspect they were hoping to arrest.

Across the city and surrounding suburbs, other teams were fanning out in support of…
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — It’s a first-time meeting, but the storylines run deep.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As House Speaker Mike Johnson gathered lawmakers this week to mourn Charlie Kirk, he summed up the grief felt by many on Capitol Hill — and the pervasive fear. “For so many of us, it has felt as if the ground was shaken,” said Johnson, R-La. The killing of Kirk, the prominent conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder, has unnerved lawmakers in both parties, amplifying their long-standing concerns about safety in a heated political climate where threats against political rivals and calls to violence have become frighteningly common. Responding to those concerns, Senate Majority Leader John…
Days after Meagan Brazil-Sheehan’s 6-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia, they were walking down the halls of UMass Memorial Children’s Medical Center when they ran into Robin the Robot. “Luca, how are you?” it asked in a high-pitched voice programmed to sound like a 7-year-old girl. “It’s been awhile.” Brazil-Sheehan said they had only met the 4-foot-tall (1.2-meter-tall) robot with a large screen displaying cartoonlike features once before after they were admitted several days earlier. “His face lit up,” she said about the interaction in June in Worcester, Massachusetts. “It was so special because she remembered him.” Robin is an…

Americans’ grocery bills are growing, causing some shoppers to cut back on discretionary spending as they find themselves struggling to afford the basics. Food prices grew by half a percent from July to August, marking the fastest monthly rate of change since the fall of 2022. Behind the rising cost of food items on store shelves are three main culprits, according to experts. The Trump administration’s wide-ranging tariffs, climate change and a shortage of agricultural workers in the U.S. are the leading causes of grocery inflation, Phil Lempert, a food industry analyst also known as the “Supermarket Guru,” told CBS…
Washington — Contribute money to the new White House ballroom President Trump is constructing and, in exchange, donors may be able to choose a Trumpian option: their names etched inside the White House forever. At least that’s one option that has been discussed. Also under consideration: listing donor names on a website, though no final decision has been made. Multiple companies have pledged to donate $5 million or more for what was projected to be a $200 million addition to the executive mansion, according to sources familiar with the matter. Mr. Trump has had personal discussions with business executives about chipping in,…
