Good morning! Before we head into a holiday weekend here in the States, I want to update you on a few global developments to be aware of. 🌍 I'll return with more updates next Monday. Until then, I hope you all have a safe and memorable July 4th weekend. 👋🏼 ▪ Three firefighters were injured battling the Thompson #wildfire in Butte County, #California. The fire started on Tuesday, burned over 3,000 acres, and remains 100 percent uncontained. #Evacuation orders were issued for approximately 13,000 people and power was cut off in multiple areas.    ▪ The U.S. deported 116 Chinese migrants over the weekend, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas stated that the U.S. will continue to enforce #immigration laws and remove individuals without legal basis to stay. This deportation comes amid political debates over Chinese immigration ahead of the U.S. presidential #election.    ▪ Hurricane #Beryl, now a Category 4 storm, moved through the southeast Caribbean, causing at least six fatalities. Major hurricane conditions will threaten both #Jamaica and portions of the Cayman Islands today into early Thursday. Farther west, #hurricane alerts are in effect along the Yucatan Peninsula in anticipation of another landfall Thursday night.     ▪ Two American prisoners are being held in #Afghanistan, and the Taliban has proposed an exchange with the US for Afghans detained in Guantanamo Bay. During a press conference following UN-led talks in Qatar, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid stressed that the exchange should be accepted.    ▪ #Türkiye closed its main border crossings into northwest #Syria after Turkish troops were attacked by Syrians protesting violence against their community in Türkiye. Turkish police arrested 474 people for attacking Syrian properties, and at least four people were killed in Afrin, Syria during a clash between Turkish troops and armed protesters.    ▪A stampede at a religious gathering in Phulrai Mughal Garhi, a small village in India's Hathras district, resulted in at least 121 deaths and numerous injuries. Officials initially suggested heat and suffocation as possible triggers, but later cited overcrowding, poor planning, and insufficient exits as contributing factors. Feel free to share this brief with those in your network who'd find it useful.
