Who is the suspect behind Spokane’s Old Trails Fire and what are the charges?
He planned it for weeks. I'm Lisa Lucera, Fox News. That's what detectives in Spokane, Washington are saying about the suspect in the city's most destructive wildfire.
According to court documents, Aaron Farnacci appears to have this obsession with fire. We also know that he admitted to detectives that he started what's now called the Old Trails Fire, along with at least two dozen others in the area. Now, the 37-year-old suspect just appeared in court to face five counts of arson. However, he did not enter a plea as his attorney asked for a mental competency exam. He's accused of setting another fire late last month, as well as three others last summer.
Fox's Sarah Allegra in Spokane. Farinacci remains held on $2 million bond.
What executive orders is President Trump signing to end birth‑tourism and restrict visas?
The judge said he's a risk to community safety, a flight risk, and he said there is a potential for a violent offense. President Trump is signing two executive orders this afternoon. He says we'll end so-called birth tourism.
People are building businesses around it from wealthy people are building businesses around birthright citizenship. That's not the way it's supposed to work. It's a disgrace. They're buying their way.
The order designed to clamp down on visas issued to foreign visitors suspected of traveling to the U.S. to deliver a child. In June, the Supreme Court struck down an executive order from the president that would have ended birthright citizenship.
Why did the Senate Homeland Security Committee vote to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt?
The Senate Homeland Security Committee votes to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt a week after he invoked his Fifth Amendment right to not answer their questions during a hearing.
This vote was a party line vote in the committee, eight to seven, all Republicans for contempt, all Democrats against. And Rand Paul is going to do this unilaterally and just send this down to the DOJ for possible prosecution.
Fox's Chad Pergram on Capitol Hill. Dr. Fauci has denied any wrongdoing used preemptively pardoned by President Biden. A New Mexico court has ordered META to pay $567 million for mental health harm to kids from its platforms. America's listening to Fox News. Troops from Uganda look like they're heading for Gaza after lawmakers agreed to a peacekeeping deployment.
This parliamentary vote means Ugandan soldiers will form part of the international force proposed by President Trump's Board of Peace.
What is Uganda’s role in the international peacekeeping force for Gaza?
Uganda joins Morocco in pledging troops for the international stabilization force for Gaza. It's not clear right now why Uganda agreed to deploy, nor if the country will receive anything in return. Last week, President Trump announced a deal for Hamas to disarm and for Israel to withdraw its forces from Gaza. International troops are intended to enter Gaza after Israel completes a phased withdrawal. Jonathan Savage, Fox News.
The CDC says it's traced a multi-state salmonella outbreak to jalapeno peppers grown in Sinaloa, Mexico. At least 345 people in 27 states have gotten sick. A town in Minnesota missing all of its license plate reader cameras and officials need help finding them.
Eight different flock license plate reader cameras operated by the Winona Police Department were sawed off and stolen in what investigators believe was a coordinated theft. The department believes they were taken August 1st, adding a patrol officer pointed out the cameras had not sent any alerts in 24 hours.
How is the CDC linking a multi‑state salmonella outbreak to jalapeño peppers from Mexico?
Officers checked locations, finding the cameras had been cut from the poles, and the poles tossed into the weeds. Two other flock cameras on the Mississippi River Bridge, owned by Buffalo County, were also stolen in the same manner. Each camera cost about $3,000, putting the total loss for the Winona Police Department's budget at $24,000. C.J. Papa, Fox News.
A new poll finds Americans are increasingly noticing the impact of extreme heat on their lives. The APNORC survey finds adults nationally have become more likely to say extreme heat has had either a major impact or a minor impact on their travel or vacation plans, electric bills, sleep, and outdoor activities since 2024. Much of that was among people living in the West or Midwest.
