Map Shows 6 States Where People Told To Stay Out of Sun
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An extreme heat wave prompted the National Weather Service (NWS) to issue advisories affecting millions of people across at least five U.S. states—California, Nevada, Montana, Oregon, Arizona and Idaho—with officials warning residents to stay indoors and avoid sun exposure as temperatures soar above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Why It Matters Heat advisories and extreme heat warnings issued by the NWS could impact public health and critical infrastructure in affected regions. High temperatures—combined with little overnight relief—raised the risk of heat exhaustion, heatstroke and wildfires. Vulnerable groups, including children, older adults and those working or living without air conditioning, face heightened danger. What To Know The NWS Heat Advisory and Extreme Heat Warning maps confirmed warnings for broad portions of California and parts of Nevada. Although these areas often see temperatures in the triple digits during the summer, this is one of the first heat waves of the season and some people might be unprepared. In California, dangerous heat was forecast for the Sacramento Valley, Central Valley and inland counties, with the NWS Sacramento office projecting temperatures up to 107. Central California cities—including Merced, Bakersfield and Tulare—faced highs of 106, while the southern valleys and mountainous zones were expected to see heat reaching the low 100s. The sun rises in California.

Extreme heat warnings also stretched into northwest Arizona. The heat wave spread to Oregon, Idaho and Montana, sparking warnings in the northern states. Along with staying out of the sun, people were advised to wear lightweight clothing and stay hydrated. Authorities cautioned that the risk of heat-related illness—dizziness, nausea, heavy sweating—would be elevated, especially during afternoon and early evening hours. In addition, NWS officials warned about leaving pets and children unattended in vehicles and noted the increased risk of wildfires because of low humidity and winds. Hospitals and emergency services in California and Nevada anticipated a possible surge in heat-related medical cases. Michelle Shahbon, emergency room manager at Shasta Regional Medical Center, previously told Newsweek that their team expected an uptick in patients and advised residents to stay hydrated and limit outdoor exposure during peak sunlight hours. What People Are Saying NWS meteorologist Brian Conlan, who works at the Missoula, Montana, office, told Newsweek: "While this is probably abnormal for us, many locations are going to be 15, 20, and in some places 25 degrees above normal, it has happened before. Most of the areas that may see their records broken, those records were set in '86." An NWS forecast issued on Friday: " ... record high temperatures will be threatened across interior northern California today, expanding into the Great Basin, Idaho, and as far north as western Montana on Saturday. The anticipated heat in the Southwest for the next couple of days has led to the issuance of Extreme Heat Warnings for the dangerous heat for portions of southernmost Nevada, southeast California, and northwestern most Arizona." What Happens Next The heat wave is expected to last through the weekend and it's likely that updates will continue to be issued by the NWS. It's possible that the heat wave could break records in some areas and is coming earlier than expected in some states.

Florida Delivery Man Detained by ICE at Immigration Court
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Florida delivery man who came to the United States seeking asylum was apprehended by federal agents at a courtroom in downtown Miami. Miguel Jerez-Robles, 26, was detained by immigration authorities moments after his case was dismissed at the Miami Immigration Court on May 22. Jerez-Robles, a Cuban immigrant, entered the country legally via Nogales, Arizona, in 2022. He was attending what his family believed would be a routine immigration hearing, accompanied by his wife and mother. Government attorneys requested the dismissal of his asylum claim. The judge granted the request, immediately revoking Jerez-Robles' legal status. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, already waiting outside the courtroom, took him into custody, according to his family. "For ICE to use entrapment tactics on people who have done nothing wrong is a clear abuse of power. Right now, the choice is either to show up for court and be detained by ICE or have a warrant issued for your arrest. There are no other options," Jerez-Robles' wife, Geraldine Cruz-Dip, told Newsweek. Newsweek reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment.

Supplied As President Donald Trump's administration ramps up pressure on the nation's immigration enforcers to increase arrests and deportations, ICE appears to be deploying a new strategy that places apprehended migrants into expedited deportation proceedings, a process that allows for faster removal without the need for traditional court hearings. "Immigrants who show up for their court proceedings and check-ins are the ones operating within the policies and procedures of immigration law. We are here legally and compliant with the process. We want to do things right. We are good and honorable people, just like most immigrants," Cruz-Dip said. Jerez-Robles' family says he had fully complied with immigration protocols, including regular check-ins and court appearances. Initially, he was held at the Broward Transitional Center in Pompano Beach, a private immigration detention facility; he was later transferred without prior notice or explanation to the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington. Detainees were not informed of their destination, with many fearing they were being deported, according to Jerez-Robles' family. He lives in McFarland, Wisconsin, a suburb of Madison, where he works as a shift leader and driver for Bold Logistics, LLC, one of Amazon's delivery partners. Cruz-Dip also works as a driver. A spokesperson for Amazon told Newsweek that "drivers employed by our partners generally wear branded gear – however, they are not employed by Amazon. They are employed by a Delivery Service Partner." Miguel Jerez-Robles and his wife, Geraldine Cruz-Dip. Miguel Jerez-Robles and his wife, Geraldine Cruz-Dip. Supplied Jerez-Robles' detention has devastated his family emotionally and financially. More than half of their household income disappeared overnight. Andrew Bilmann, a close family friend, told Newsweek that the family is living paycheck to paycheck. "Emotionally, they are destroyed and scared. Instead of Miguel and Geraldine planning their lives in the United States, possibly going to college or trade school, and generally living life as a mid-20s couple, they don't know what the next day, week, month, or year holds in store. They don't know if they'll ever see Miguel again," Bilmann said. He expressed outrage at what he described as a betrayal of American values and disregard for due process. "I'm sickened that our government is engaging in pure xenophobia, entrapping people outside of courtrooms who are not criminals, who have legitimate asylum claims, who are following the law, and who have families, jobs, and lives," Bilmann said. "The American public was led to believe that violent, undocumented, and criminally convicted illegal immigrants are the root of so many problems, yet ICE chooses to entrap immigrants who are the complete opposite—fully documented, with no legal issues or past criminal history whatsoever, with stays of more than two years in the United States," he said. "ICE is treating inherently good and honorable people like criminals, holding them without bond, presenting no details nor charges, all in obvious violation of habeas corpus." Jerez-Robles' sister, Vivianne, a medical doctor, and her fiancé, Eduardo Torres Martinez, have canceled their June wedding as the family grapples with the uncertainty surrounding the detention and possible deportation. "We don't know what's currently happening, how long Miguel will be detained, or if he'll be deported before we see him again. We can't even travel to see him in detention, because there's no way to know where he will be," Cruz-Dip said. Jerez-Robles' attorney is now working to secure a bond hearing, supported by letters of recommendation, including one from his supervisor. A family friend has offered to act as a sponsor and post his bond if he is granted one. As the family fights for his freedom, the administration continues to face scrutiny over its immigration enforcement operations. For Jerez-Robles' family, the legal battle is not just about policy; it's about reuniting loved ones, restoring stability, and holding onto the life they've worked to build together.

Elon Musk's Starbase City Warns Residents Over Property Rights
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Some residents in Starbase, the Texan base of SpaceX, which was formally established as a new city earlier this month, have received letters from the city administrator warning they may "lose the right to continue using your property for its current use," according to CNBC. Newsweek contacted Starbase and SpaceX for comment on Friday via email. Why It Matters Over the past few months, Musk has acted not only as one of the world's most influential business leaders but also as a key figure in Donald Trump's second administration as de facto head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The letter acquired by CNBC suggests the SpaceX-affiliated leadership of Starbase is committed to further developing the settlement as the company works towards Musk's ultimate stated aim of turning humanity into a "multi-planetary civilization." What To Know CNBC said it had acquired a letter sent by Starbase city administrator Kent Myers to some of the city's residents on May 21, inviting them to a public hearing to discuss "the adoption of a Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and city wide Zoning Map" on June 23. Those who received the letters were told they lived in a proposed "Mixed Use District" that would allow "for a blend of residential, office, retail, and small-scale service uses." It added: "The City is required by Texas law to notify you of the following: THE CITY OF STARBASE IS HOLDING A HEARING THAT WILL DETERMINE WHETHER YOU MAY LOSE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE USING YOUR PROPERTY FOR ITS CURRENT USE." Stock photograph of SpaceX's Starbase pictured in July 2021. Stock photograph of SpaceX's Starbase pictured in July 2021. Wirestock/GETTY Anyone living in the area who wants to submit a written comment is instructed to submit it to Myers by 3 p.m. on June 22. According to the Texas Tribune, Starbase has around 500 residents, of whom 260 are SpaceX employees, while most of the rest are their families. Residents of Starbase voted 173 to 4 to establish a new city at the Cameron County site, which was formally known as Boca Chica Village. NBC News reported the election resulted in the election of Bobby Peden as the first Starbase mayor and Jordan Buss and Jenna Petrzelka as city commissioners. Peden, Buss and Petrzelka are all SpaceX employees who ran unopposed, according to the network. Starbase covers a 1.6 square mile area owned by SpaceX, which includes the launch facility used by the company to launch its Starship rockets, which Musk hopes will one day take humans to Mars. SpaceX conducted the ninth Starship test flight on May 27 when the launch vehicle reached space, unlike the previous two tests, but then spun out of control and disintegrated. What People Are Saying The letter said: "Our goal is to ensure that the zoning plan reflects the City's vision for balanced growth, protecting critical economic drivers, ensuring public safety, and preserving green spaces. You are receiving this notice because you own the above listed property that will be located in the 'Mixed Use District' and will be impacted if the zoning ordinance is approved." Earlier on his X platform, Musk wrote: "Starbase, Texas Is now a real city!" What Happens Next Starbase's new status as a city will allow SpaceX to craft new laws for the base, helping to facilitate its rocket development and launch program, including Starship, which is expected to form the basis of NASA's efforts to return humans to the Moon and put them on Mars for the first time.

Family of Viral Sensation Ms. Shirley Face Backlash for Meet-and-Greet Events
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The family of the viral sensation, Ms. Shirley, a 4-year-old girl who has amassed a significant online following and fan base, has received backlash after hosting meet-and-greet events. Newsweek has reached out to the social media account for Ms. Shirely for comment. The Context 4-year-old LaRiyah Jesireé, aka Ms. Shirley, has become something of a social media celebrity after a video of her doing the "Boots on the Ground" line dance was posted online. An official Boots on the Ground music video was released a few weeks ago, featuring Ms. Shirley. She recently appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show and has amassed a significant following online, with posts on TikTok regularly receiving millions of views. What To Know Meet-and-greet events are common for celebrities, influencers, and public figures. And with more than a million followers across TikTok and Instagram, some may describe Ms. Shirley as an influencer and public figure. Stock image of social media application on the smartphone screen. Stock image of social media application on the smartphone screen. Getty Images / Canart 7 However, social media users have been quick to criticize the meet-and-greets and raise concerns due to Ms. Shirley being a young child. A post from the account @CultureRiz, read: "Too far?? Mother of 4 year old viral sensation Ms. Shirley is catching a lot of flack for offering meet and greets with her daughter..." and has been viewed 4.5 million times as of press time. The meet and greets have been described as "odd" and "too much" by social media users, who have said Ms. Shirley's family is "disgusting" for organizing them. One clip, which has been widely shared on social media in connection with criticism from the meet-and-greets, is from the account 803fresh. 803fresh is the musician behind the song Boots on the Ground, and Ms. Shirley is featured in the video for that song. The TikTok from 803fresh has been viewed over 6 million times and appears to have been filmed on the day the music video was shot, not at a meet and greet. It has the text overlay, "I finally met my lil Ms boots on the ground... it's was tears behind those glasses." Despite the backlash, Ms. Shirley has a very loyal fan base, and many social media users have posted supportive messages on her social media profiles in recent days, although they don't directly address the fallout over the meet-and-greets. What People Are Saying One social media user commented on a recent Instagram post on MsShirely's account: "This is such an amazing little lady and she never seems to be bothered by what the world of haters has to say about her and her mother keep on stepping baby and bringing down the house with your beautiful soul." The account @jehnhsushs wrote on X: "people come see a child that's not touching them...I'm very displeased with the parents and the paying customers cause this will ultimately distort/damage this little girls sense of bodily autonomy and security in the coming disgusting..." What's Next In a recent Instagram video on Ms. Shirely's account, she shared that she will be attending the upcoming Positive Energy Tour.
