Democracy Now!Middle East and Europe Swelter Under Record HeatIraq’s Energy Ministry says it’s restoring power after a power outage hit central and southern Iraq amid record heat fueled by the climate crisis. Temperatures in the capital Baghdad reached 50 degrees Celsius, or 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, southern Europe is experiencing a deadly heat wave with temperatures in some areas topping 110 degrees Fahrenheit. In Italy, a 4-year-old boy died of a heatstroke. In Spain, at least one person has died from burns, while thousands more have been forced to flee fast-moving wildfires. Evangelina Peral Delgado: “We are completely helpless and abandoned. Someone, do something for us, because we are burning. We might not be a national park, but we are people! No one does anything. No one.”

Democracy Now!Advocates in El Paso Demand ICE Release DACA Recipient Catalina “Xóchitl” SantiagoIn Texas, protests and vigils continue in El Paso demanding the release of Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago, a longtime community organizer and recipient of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, DACA. Santiago was taken by Border Patrol agents at the El Paso airport as she was about to board a domestic flight for work in early August. The agents detained her for questioning without a warrant or reason, despite Santiago having work authorization and deportation protection under DACA. She filmed a short video as the two border agents accosted her. Border Patrol agent: “We’re going to question you in regards to your documents.” Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago: “What’s the questioning for?” Border Patrol agent: “Downstairs, we’ll talk about it.” Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago: “What’s the questioning for?” Border Patrol agent: “How you — how you got the employment authorization.” Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago: “I need to have my lawyer here.” Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago is being held at an ICE jail in El Paso.

Democracy Now!Federal Court Hears Arguments Trump Violated Posse Comitatus Act by Deploying Troops to L.A.In California, a federal judge is hearing arguments about whether President Trump violated federal law when he deployed the National Guard and active-duty Marines to suppress the protests in Los Angeles against his mass deportation campaign. Governor Gavin Newsom is arguing that Trump’s order violated an 1878 law known as the Posse Comitatus Act, which prevents the president from using the military as a police force against civilians. According to the Pentagon, 250 National Guard members remain deployed in California. Click here to see our interview with the California attorney general.

Democracy Now!Trump Takes Control of Washington, D.C., Police Force and Deploys National GuardPresident Trump announced Monday he was deploying 800 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., and federalizing the city’s police force for 30 days. Speaking to reporters alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Trump claimed that crime is “out of control” in D.C. — despite the fact that violent crime is at a 30-year low. President Donald Trump: “Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people.” Trump also said he would clear encampments of unhoused people from D.C., without providing plans of where they’ll be relocated. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser called Trump’s proposals “unsettling and unprecedented,” but conceded Washington, D.C., would observe his orders. Mayor Muriel Bowser: “We don’t — and I think I speak for all Americans — we don’t believe or believe it’s legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil.” Meanwhile, demonstrators took to the streets to voice their dissent against Trump’s call for troops in the Washington, D.C., area. Here’s Keya Chatterjee, the executive director of the group Free DC. Keya Chatterjee: “If Trump cared about safety, he would stop kidnapping immigrant neighbors, because terrorizing people, terrorizing families, is not safety. If Trump cared about our safety, he would fund Medicaid. He would fund schools. He would fund SNAP, because people being sick, out of school and hungry is not safety.”
