Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. A federal judge says the Trump administration violated federal law by deploying the National Guard and Marines to help carry out immigration enforcement in Los Angeles in June. The White house used a 19th century law that prohibits the use of federal troops for domestic law enforcement efforts. The Health Ministry in Gaza says nearly 200 people died from malnutrition in August. Deaths from starvation in the region are soaring in areas where a famine has already been declared.

A report written by the world's foremost experts on hunger declared a famine in Gaza City nearly two weeks ago. Yet deaths from malnutrition have only climbed since then, reaching an all time high in the past 24 hours. Israel's government has dismissed the findings as false and is instead moving to halt all aid to Gaza City as it mobilizes tens of thousands of troops to invade the city. The UN Says tens of thousands of people have already been displaced from their homes in Gaza City in recent weeks. Meanwhile, mediators in Egypt and Qatar say Israel's government has still not responded to a ceasefire proposal agreed to by Hamas that would release some hostages. Israeli media report Israel's security cabinet is only only discussing the Gaza City offensive. Ayla Bosraawi, NPR News, Dubai.

Season draws to a close. The U.S. is seeing a drop in international travel. Three million fewer foreign visitors came to the U.S. in the first seven months of this year, and that doesn't count the drop off in tourists from next door Canada. Some would be visitors say they don't feel welcome in light of President Trump's immigration crackdown and tariffs. A federal appeals court ruled late last week most of those tariffs are illegal. The import taxes remain in place for now, though, to allow time for an anticipated appeal to the U.S. supreme Court. The yield on treasury debt is climbing. 30 year treasuries are yielding nearly 5%. Asian stocks were mixed overnight. Scott Horsley, NPR News, Washington.

Final enrollment numbers aren't in, but Zavatny says the expected drop could cost the US economy some $7 billion and force some small private universities to close. For NPR News, I'm Frank Morris.
