President Donald Trump says six people have been arrested over recent damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The president claimed without evidence that there had been a “350-foot gash” in the paint as the administration faces a self-imposed deadline to fix the botched renovation before next month. Adding to the controversy swirling around the pool, the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group, called on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to investigate after a Mallard duckling carcass was found floating in the algae-filled pool, and two other ducks were found dead nearby. Trump also said the federal government would release images substantiating his vandalism claim. The Associated Press verified that one man was arrested after touching peeled paint.

California intends to sue the Trump administration over its deal to end an offshore wind project proposed off the state’s central coast. State officials said they are combating the administration’s attacks on their offshore wind industry by sending a notice of their intention to sue to the Department of Interior Tuesday. Tuesday’s action is focused on the administration buying back the lease for Golden State Wind, a floating offshore wind project off California’s central coast. California has made a major commitment to offshore wind. President Donald Trump has said he’s boosting fossil fuels to unleash America’s affordable and reliable energy, and he frequently talks about his hatred of wind power.

The New York Knicks celebrated their first NBA championship in 53 years with a ticker-tape parade through Manhattan’s “Canyon of Heroes,” drawing thousands of fans dressed in the team’s blue and orange. Finals MVP Jalen Brunson hoisted the trophy toward the crowd so they could touch it, while teammates rode floats through the streets or got off to interact with cheering fans.

The parade marks a historic moment for the franchise and city, which did not hold championship parades after the Knicks’ title wins in the 1970s.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is retreating from a plan to use warehouses to hold up to 10,000 people on a single site, jettisoning a key piece of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s $38-billion plan to rapidly expand detention capacity this year. On Monday, the city of Romulus, Michigan, and immigration officials wrote in a joint court filing that a warehouse the federal government purchased in the Detroit suburb will be sold. Local officials said plans also are unraveling in Social Circle, Georgia, and the El Paso suburb of Socorro. The three cities are among 11 where the federal government spent a combined $1.074 billion on warehouses.

Eight people accused by the Justice Department of having ties to antifa have been sentenced to decades in federal prison over a shooting outside a Texas immigration detention center during a protest. A police officer was wounded in the July 4 shooting outside the Prairieland Detention Center near Dallas. A former U.S. Marine Corps reservist convicted of attempted murder in the shooting was sentenced Tuesday to 100 years in prison, which is the maximum punishment. U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor, one of two judges overseeing the sentencing, said the protesters' actions were “an assault on democracy.” The seven other protesters received prison terms ranging from 30 to 70 years.

A coalition of 17 states and a trade association are suing California to block a strict recycling law aimed at reducing plastic waste. The lawsuit was filed Monday and argues the law's regulations would force a major transformation of consumer products and business models nationwide. It argues the mandates will lead to price hikes on necessities. The law requires producers to both reduce plastic packaging use overall and ensure recyclability of plastic. The state agency whose director was named as a defendant decline to comment. But California officials have previously defended the law as a way to reduce waste and protect taxpayers.

He touched on various topics, including the economy, the U.S.-Mexico border, and prescription drugs. Trump urged support for Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie in the upcoming elections.

The top U.S. auto regulator has opened an investigation after a Tesla using an automated driving feature slammed into a Texas home at high speed and killed a 76-year-old woman standing inside. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Monday it was opening a special investigation into the Tesla Model 3 crash, a significant probe since it involves technology that Elon Musk considers key to Tesla’s future.

Tesla did not reply to a request for comment, but a top official posted on X that the driver overrode the automated driving system by pressing the accelerator.

The Supreme Court has barred a former Louisiana inmate from suing prison officials who cut his dreadlocks in violation of his Rastafari religious beliefs. The justices ruled Tuesday against Damon Landor, holding that a federal law designed to protect inmates’ religious rights does not permit lawsuits for money damages. The high court agreed with lower courts that had ruled the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act can’t be used to hold those who violate inmates’ rights financially responsible. The justices declined to adopt the rationale from a 2020 decision that allowed Muslim men to sue over their inclusion on the FBI’s no-fly list under a sister statute.
