 Court OKs Broad Rules for ICE Stops
The Supreme Court on Monday lifted a lower-court order that had limited federal immigration patrols in Los Angeles, allowing agents to resume broad stops while the case continues.
The 6-3 decision temporarily lets Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents pull people over for questioning based on criteria such as a person speaking Spanish or working in a specific profession.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote that the lower court had overreached by limiting the stops only to cases showing “reasonable cause,” while Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented, warning of potential violations of constitutional rights.
Federal officials say more than 5,000 arrests have been made in the region since June, and a hearing in the case is set for Sept. 24.

Murdoch Succession Finally Set
The Murdoch family has settled its years-long dispute over control of the Fox and News Corp. empire, giving control of the company to Rupert Murdoch’s son Lachlan, who has been running it for the past few years.
Family members James Murdoch, Elizabeth Murdoch, and Prudence MacLeod will each receive over a billion dollars in separate trusts in exchange for relinquishing their shared control of the company, which includes Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post.
Lachlan is the more conservative of the family members, and the deal is seen as cementing Rupert Murdoch’s current political direction for the global media empire.

Fugitive New Zealand Dad Killed
For nearly four years, New Zealand father Tom Phillips hid in the wilderness with his three children before being killed in a police shootout Sunday after a burglary attempt.
Phillips disappeared with his three children, Jayda, 12, Maverick, 10, and Ember, 9, in 2021 following a custody dispute, and lived with them in remote bushland, surviving in makeshift shelters and off the land.
The case captivated New Zealand as Phillips evaded authorities for years, tied to thefts, a bank robbery, and recent break-ins that suggested growing desperation. See a photo of the family hiking.
“[The children] have been dearly missed every day for nearly four years, and we are looking forward to welcoming them home with love and care,” said their mother.
