Mara Lyason reports. Homeland Security Secretary Christy Gnome says there will never be amnesty on President Trump's watch, and Trump himself is telling immigration agents to use whatever means necessary to protect themselves during raids. This after a Los Angeles federal judge issued an order to stop the raids. Meanwhile, members of Congress have toured a new immigration facility in Florida called Alligator Alcatraz. Republican legislators say the facility is clean and well run, but Democrats say the conditions they found there are deplorable. Mara Lyason, NPR News.

of one to two inches per hour, Kerr County officials suspended all search and rescue operations along the Guadalupe River. Here's meteorologist Joseph Wegman.
Unknown 1:11
We're still unfortunately looking at at least some rain into the headwaters of the Guadalupe River, which could likely c cause at least some rises.
Amy Held 1:20
The rain should ease by early this week, but Wegman notes these kinds of cluster thunderstorms prove difficult to predict.
Unknown 1:26
It certainly is unusual to have this much rain in a specific area on multiple days over and over and over again.
Amy Held 1:36
Climate change is making intense rainfall and flooding worse as a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture. Amy

Held, NPR News. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said today the EU will delay imposing new tariffs on US goods, scheduled to begin tomorrow.

Why is the EU delaying new tariffs on U.S. goods and how does it relate to Trump’s tariff plans?

Nora Rahm 1:53
EU members want more time to negotiate with President Trump on his plan to raise tariffs August first. The Israeli military has admitted that a technical error led to a strength that caused harm to civilians in Gaza. Medics say a water distribution site was hit, killing ten Palestinians. Most of them killed were children. The Red Cross has said it we treated more than one hundred thirty wounded people yesterday after a mass casual incident. The BBC's Nick Peak has more.
Nick Beek 2:22
A video which is said to record the aftermath of the attack shows the bloodied bodies of children and adults surrounded by yellow water containers. There are screams and panic as the injured are carried away. Eyewitnesses said a drone fired a missile at a crowd waiting to collect water.

What caused the recent civilian casualties in Gaza and how is the Red Cross responding?

Nick Beek 2:39
Yesterday, the Red Cross said 31 people had been killed trying to get food at a distribution site in southern Gaza. The Israeli military said there were no known injured individuals from yesterday's incidents.

Gaza Health officials say the Palestinian death toll has now topped fifty-eight thousand. This is NPR News. The men's Wimbledon final starts at this hour. It's Spain's Carlos Alcaraz and Italy's Yannick Sinner. Vicky Barker reports from London.

Carlos Alcaraz and Yannick Sinner are only the second pair of players to contest the men's finals at both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year. Something Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer achieved for three straight years between two thousand six and two thousand eight.

Who are the contenders in the Wimbledon men’s final and what historic records could they set?

Vicki Barker 3:27
For Alcaraz, it's a chance to become the fifth man in the open era to win Wimbledon three times in a row. That would put him in the pantheon with Borg, Sampras, Federer, and Djokovich. Alcaraz has five Grand Slam titles, Sinner three, and between them they have won the past six, perhaps incubating another great rivalry in professional tennis. For NPR News, I'm Vicky Parker in London.

The women's championship was decided yesterday Igaswig Antag of Poland beat American Amanda Anisimova. In international soccer, the FIFA World Cup will be held this afternoon near York City.
