The Trump administration has ramped up third-party deportations again.
It has sent roughly 2,300 Mexican migrants to Guatemala this year, with dozens more sent to Honduras. Guatemala says the migrants are only there in transit and are generally returned to Mexico within 24 hours. Mexico has objected to the practice, saying its citizens have the right to enter the U.S.
The EPA is loosening summertime gasoline rules in an effort to increase fuel supplies and bring down prices at the pump.
Starting September first, the agency will allow higher volatility E-10 gasoline to be sold nationwide about 2 weeks earlier than normal. That change could help ease supply shortages and lower gas prices which have climb sharply amid Iran war.
However, the less restrictive fuel can produce more smog, and ozone pollution during hot weather.
And Wal-Mart shares plunged about 9% today, wiping out more than $80 billion in market value and pushing the retailer below the $1 trillion mark.
That sell-off comes as Walmart reports its slowest U.S. sales growth in six years. The company says higher gas prices drove down consumer spending. This comes at the same time Walmart plans to lower prices thanks to nearly $3 billion in tariff refunds.
