(KABC) -- U.S. citizens testified before members of the Senate and House Tuesday, detailing the moment they encountered federal immigration authorities this year, largely during immigration raids and operations.

41+ min ago (237+ words) There is nothing more cynical than using the worst day of someone else's life as political fuel. Yet that is what President Trump and senior advisers like Stephen Miller are doing. They are weaponizing this tragedy not to increase safety, but to justify bans and mass exclusions that have nothing to do with this case and everything to do with their longstanding desire to close America's doors. This is not just immoral; it is strategically reckless. National security professionals across the political spectrum agree that blanket bans do not make us safer. They undermine alliances, impede intelligence gathering and send a clear message to future wartime partners: American commitments may evaporate the moment they become politically inconvenient. And it is not what the families of Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe deserve. They deserve a country grieving with them, not exploiting…...

1+ hour, 36+ min ago (283+ words) By MATTHEW LEE, AP Diplomatic Writer "Typography shapes how official documents are perceived in terms of cohesion, professionalism and formality," Rubio said in a cable sent to all U.S. embassies and consulates abroad Tuesday. In it, he said the 2023 shift to the sans serif Calibri font emerged from misguided diversity, equity and inclusion policies pursued by his predecessor, Antony Blinken. Rubio ordered an immediate return to Times New Roman, which had been among the standard fonts mandated by previous administrations. "The switch was promised to mitigate accessibility issues for individuals with disabilities," the cable said, asserting that it did not achieve that goal and had cost the department $145,000 but did not offer any evidence. Since taking over the State Department in January, Rubio has systematically dismantled DEI programs in line with President Donald Trump's broader instructions to all federal agencies. The…...
