Abrego Garcia's detention was expected last week. He was released from a Tennessee jail to await trial on criminal charges to which he has pleaded not guilty. His battle with the Trump administration began in March when he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador and imprisoned. Despite a judge's order, Abrego Garcia was returned to the US In June. The administration accuses Abrego Garcia of having gang ties. President Trump says the military is ready to go anywhere on short notice to crack down on crime. But as NPR's Frank Ordonez reports, Trump says he'd prefer if local officials asked him for help.

Brett Deden is one of the public information officers for the FL Flat Fire. Temperatures are cooler now and some rain is moving through, but it's not enough to put out the fire. Deaton says more active weather is shifting into the Pacific Northwest. That means unstable winds and potential thunder and lightning. Lightning sparked a few fires in southern Oregon on Sunday, but the cause of the Flat Fire remains under investigation. For NPR News, I'm Kathryn Sarah Martinez in Bend, Oregon.

Starship is a two stage space vehicle that stands nearly 400ft tall. It's a key part of NASA's effort to return astronauts to the surface of the moon as well as Elon Musk's effort to colonize Mars. But so far, this Starship rockets have suffered a string of failures in flights. One even blew up on the launch pad during a test. All of that is why this 10th flight has been highly anticipated. And SpaceX did start loading propellant into the rocket at its Texas launch facility. But soon after, on social media, SpaceX said it was standing down to allow time to troubleshoot what it called an issue with ground systems. Nell Greenfield Boyce, NPR News.
