The 19-year-old college student was wrongfully pulled over for a traffic violation, and charges against her were dropped. But she was detained by ICE after it was found that she was an undocumented immigrant. She was released on bond, but she still faces possible deportation, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Aid distribution efforts in Gaza devolved into chaos during the first days of a controversial new mechanism backed by the United States and Israel. According to the Palestinian health ministry, 11 people have been killed and dozens injured as crowds of desperate people arrived at distribution sites in southern Gaza since they opened earlier this week.

Remembering George Floyd
Five years after a police officer murdered George Floyd, my colleagues and I attended events at the Minneapolis intersection where he was killed and in his hometown, Houston. They were both a tribute and a rallying call. Meridith Kohut for The New York Times Zsa Zsa Floyd, George Floyd's oldest sister, and Arianna Delane, his great-niece, were among the relatives who attended the memorial service in Houston. Zsa Zsa Floyd recalled her brother's faith in God. Meridith Kohut for The New York Times The lawyer Ben Crump condemned efforts to rewrite the history of the killing, which set off global protests in 2020. 'George Floyd was a watershed moment for the world,' he told people later in the day. Meridith Kohut for The New York Times A permanent installation in Tom Bass Park, in Houston, includes images of Floyd and an essay he wrote as a child saying that he aspired to be a judge. Meridith Kohut for The New York Times At George Floyd Square in Minneapolis, once the epicenter of protests, organizers of a festival told us that they wanted to observe the anniversary with moments of joy. Ernesto Londoño/The New York Times Cortez Rice, a civil rights activist, spoke to Tracey Washington in the square. Her son was killed by police officers in Florida in 2023, and she said she wanted to be there to honor Floyd's memory. Jenn Ackerman for The New York Times 'It seems like things are starting to get worse,' Washington told me, talking about police killings, at a nearby art installation that includes a grave marker for her son. Jenn Ackerman for The New York Times Near the sidewalk where Floyd was killed, people prayed, cried, danced and hugged. Jenn Ackerman for The New York Times At the 'Say Their Names' art installation, people came to honor those who lost their lives to police violence.
