Tropical Storm Alvin could be brewing in eastern Pacific, forecasters say
A tropical storm is expected to form Tuesday night or Wednesday in the Pacific Ocean, far off the southern coast of Mexico, forecasters say. Once confirmed, the storm would be named Alvin.
Satellite imagery shows showers and thunderstorms starting to organize several hundred miles south of Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center's weather outlook on Tuesday. Tropical Storm Alvin has nearly a 100% chance of forming over the next 48 hours, according to the agency.
"While the system still lacks a well-defined circulation, environmental conditions are favorable for further development," the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's NHC said earlier Tuesday.
Hurricane season 2025
Last week, NOAA officials predicted a 60% chance of an "above-normal" hurricane season, with between 13 to 19 named storms. Six to 10 of those are expected to strengthen into hurricanes, and three to five could become major hurricanes, forecasters said.
The Pacific hurricane season began on May 15, while the Atlantic hurricane season is from June 1 until Nov. 30, with peak activity typically occurring between mid-August and mid-October.

Mexican 4-year-old allowed to continue receiving lifesaving care in US
LOS ANGELES — A 4-year-old Mexican girl who receives lifesaving medical care from a Southern California hospital was granted permission to remain in the country weeks after federal authorities said she could be deported, her family's attorneys said Tuesday. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security granted the girl and her mother humanitarian parole for one year so she can continue to receive treatment she has been getting since arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border in 2023, according to a copy of a letter received by Rebecca Brown, an attorney for the family from the nonprofit Public Counsel. An email message was sent to the Department of Homeland Security seeking comment. The girl's family said they were notified in April and May that their humanitarian parole was being revoked and they would be subject to potential deportation. The Trump administration has been pushing to dismantle policies from former President Joe Biden's administration that granted temporary legal status for certain migrants and allowed them to live legally in the U.S., generally for two years. The girl was taken to a hospital upon arriving on at the U.S.-Mexico border with her mother in 2023 and released once she was stable enough. She receives intravenous nutrition through a special backpack for short bowel syndrome, which prevents her from being able to take in and process nutrients on her own, and lawyers said the treatment she receives is necessary at this stage for her to survive and isn't available in Mexico. The family's attorneys from Public Counsel said in a statement that while they were grateful the administration 'acted swiftly' to ensure the girl could continue her life-saving treatment, they hoped the case highlighted the need for better communication with federal immigration officials. 'We cannot ignore the systemic challenges that brought Sofia to the brink,' the attorneys said, using a pseudonym for the girl. 'Her parole was terminated without warning ... It took an international outcry and pressure from elected officials to get a response—something that used to take a single phone call.' Humanitarian parole, which doesn't put migrants on a path to U.S. citizenship, was widely used during the Biden administration to alleviate pressure on the U.S.-Mexico southern border. It was previously used on a case-by-case basis to address individual emergencies and also for people fleeing humanitarian crises around the world including Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos during the late 1970s. In Mexico, the girl was largely confined to a hospital because of her medical condition, said her mother, Deysi Vargas. After joining a program at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, she can now receive treatment at home in Bakersfield, California, and go to the park and store like other children, Vargas has said. Lawyers said the girl's medical treatment, which requires 14 hours a day of intravenous nutrition, will not be necessary indefinitely but that she is not at the point where she could live without it.

Trump DOJ targets California after Trans runner's title wins spark outcry
The post Trump DOJ targets California after Trans runner's title wins spark outcry appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Trump administration is ramping up pressure on California following a transgender teenager's victory in two state track titles. Sixteen-year-old AB Hernandez placed first at the California high school championships, drawing national attention and sparking a sharp rebuke from federal officials, per CBSNews. Days later, the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, led by Harmeet Dhillon, issued a letter accusing the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) of violating the Constitution. The CIF's bylaw allows students to compete in alignment with their gender identity, regardless of the gender listed on official records. Dhillon's letter, sent to all California public school districts, demanded they abandon the policy and certify compliance by June 9. According to Dhillon, the CIF's approach amounts to 'unconstitutional sex discrimination,' citing the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Her letter specifically warned that knowingly limiting athletic opportunities for female athletes based on sex could result in legal consequences. Though Hernandez wasn't named in the letter, she became a flashpoint the next morning when President Trump posted on Truth Social that California would face 'large scale fines.' The California Interscholastic Federation had recently adopted a pilot program for the championship meet that expanded eligibility for female athletes. That program enabled Hernandez to compete and share the podium with two other runners in one of her title events. The pilot rule applied only to events in which she participated. Amid the growing uproar, Hernandez appears unfazed. In an interview with Capital & Main, she addressed the backlash directly. 'I'm still a child,' she said. 'You're an adult, and for you to act like a child shows how you are as a person.' Meanwhile, acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli announced that the Central District of California has launched an investigation into CIF's policy. This adds another layer of federal scrutiny to an already tense situation, as political lines deepen over trans inclusion in high school athletics. With Trump reigniting the culture war over transgender athletes, California's school system now faces pressure—not just from vocal critics, but from the federal government itself.

Trump Goes All In Blaming Biden For ‘Illegal' Colorado Terror Suspect
Donald Trump joined his Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller in blaming Joe Biden's immigration policies for allowing an alleged 'illegal alien' suspected of carrying out a terror attack in Colorado into the country. A man used a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to set people on fire on Sunday while they were holding a Jewish community event in support of the hostages in Gaza. At least eight people were injured. Police identified the suspect in the attack as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the 45-year-old Egyptian man arrested at the scene. Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday that the suspect 'came in through Biden's ridiculous Open Border Policy' and the attack was 'another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland.' The White House also released a statement. 'The suspect in the antisemitic Colorado terrorist attack, accused of setting elderly women on fire while yelling 'FREE PALESTINE,' is an illegal alien who exploited our immigration system to violently attack American citizens,' said White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson in a statement. 'President Trump will never stop fighting to keep Americans safe – his work to secure our border, end the abuse of our immigration system enabled by Joe Biden, and deport dangerous illegals is absolutely critical to our national security,' she continued. The suspect was in the country illegally, according to Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin. Soliman entered the U.S. in August 2022 on a tourist visa that expired in February 2023. The following month, in September 2022, he filed for asylum. Members of the Trump administration have been pointing to the arrest as they tout the president's effort to remove immigrants in the country illegally. Late Sunday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller also tweeted that the attack was committed by an 'illegal alien.' 'He was granted a tourist visa by the Biden Administration and then he illegally overstayed that visa. In response, the Biden Administration gave him a work permit,' Miller posted on X. 'Suicidal migration must be fully reversed.' Soliman is accused of shouting 'Free Palestine' and attacking the demonstrators using a makeshift flamethrower and other incendiary devices as they gathered at an outdoor mall. Boulder police released a mugshot of the suspect with what appeared to be a bandage on the side of his head on Monday. He was booked into the county jail on Sunday night on multiple felony counts, including first-degree murder, but police said on Monday that no victims died. Four women and four men were injured in the attack, with ages ranging from 52 to 88. One of the victim's injuries are critical. The FBI is investigating the attack as a targeted act of terrorism.
