EPA says it will stop calculating health care savings from key air pollution rules

AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency says it will stop calculating how much money is saved in health care costs avoided and deaths prevented from air pollution rules that curb two deadly pollutants.

US and Mexico flag football teams will play a game during the Super Bowl week in an Olympic preview

AP News The week of the Super Bowl next month in San Francisco will feature not one but two marquee flag football games.

Trump is ending protected immigration status for Somalis, long a target of his anti-immigrant barbs

AP News Donald Trump’s administration said Tuesday it will end temporary protected status for immigrants from Somalia, the latest move in the president's mass deportation agenda.

The move affects hundreds of people who are a small subset of immigrants with TPS protections in the United States. It comes during Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, where many native Somalis live and where street protests have intensified since a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent killed a U.S citizen who was demonstrating against federal presence in the city.
