good morning!🙋🏼♀️I’m Nicole Forelt. Do you know what “MKT” means in the menu?
Take a quick look at Monday’s news:
ICE deported these teenagers and children in immigrant raids
Seats at Martir Garcia Lara in the fourth grade classroom were empty on May 29th. Classmates in Torrence, California continued their school day.
He probably won’t return to school this fall: Martill is one of at least five children and teens who have been rounded up to ice and deported from the United States since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term of office.
- “Martil’s absence ripples across the school’s barriers”: The boy and his father were separated for a while and taken to an immigration detention facility in Texas. They were reunited and deported to Honduras.
- Now, schools are brave for the start of the semester. Teachers and students told USA Today they fear they will remain with many immigrant students before the new academic year.
- The White House says The Trump administration’s immigration agency has not targeted children in the attacks. However, many people with no criminal history have been arrested and deported, including children picked up with or on behalf of their parents.
More immigration compensation from USA Today: Farmers say few people have reborn residents. Agricultural Workers Visa Programs can be costly, burdensome and limited. And they say that Congress has not acted for years.
The suspect faces horrifying charges with stabbing wounds in Walmart, Michigan
Authorities said they attempted murder charges against a Michigan man accused of filing terrorism and injuring 11 people in a stinging rampage at a local Walmart. Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michaelcia said on July 27 that bystanders were “absolutely instrumental” to prevent further injuries after the attack began on July 26th at about 4:43pm. One of the intervening citizens was armed with guns, Shia said. One witness said she saw the three people with stab wounds as she fled the store. “There was blood everywhere,” she said.

Hurricane season warning signs stacked
While maps of hurricanes in the Atlantic may be quiet now, forecasters say that it may not last that long as some signs point to increased activity throughout the basin. So far, there have been three named tropical storms (Andrea, Barry and Chantal), so the number of storms during this period is actually above average. Over the past week, water temperatures have skyrocketed seventh warmest in the satellite record (back to 1981), running slightly cooler than 2017 and 2005 at this point in the season. At the same time, experts say the water belt just north of the tropics has cooled since the start of the season, creating a more fostering direction that prefers rising air and storms in the tropical Atlantic. There are more signs than roughly referring to hurricane season.
Israel suspends military action in Gaza as starvation spreads
Starting Sunday, Israel will suspend daily military operations in parts of Gaza, increasing the decline in aid to enclaves as it faces international fuss over reports and images of hungry Palestinians.

Today’s speaker
Which soccer helmet do I need to buy?
Have you ever wondered about the power of blows to your head that your child actually and in the game, and how their helmets are tested to protect them? The question seemed simple enough. Until a Virginia Technical Athletics Equipment Manager and his colleagues delved into it in 2009, leading to the development of Virginia Tech’s Helmet Lab, which is now nationally acclaimed for its testing and research. More recently, the lab has updated its rating system with new thresholds for those used in varsity, youth football, and those used on bikes. According to the lab, helmets cannot withstand concussions and athletes can suffer head injuries. However, experts have identified helmets that will best reduce your chances.
