Trump, eager to keep voters focused on illegal immigration in the lead-up to the elections, stepped up his dire warnings about the caravans, tweeting, “This is an invasion of our Coun- try and our Military is wait- ing for you!” But any migrants who complete the long trek to the southern U.S. border already face major hur- dles — both physical and bureaucratic — to being allowed into the United States. The Pentagon’s “Oper- ation Faithful Patriot” was described by the com- mander of U.S. North- ern Command as an effort to help Customs and Bor- der Protection “harden the southern border” by stiffening defenses at and near legal entry points. Advanced helicopters will allow border pro- tection agents to swoop down on migrants try- ing to cross illegally, said Air Force Gen. Terrence O’Shaughnessy.

The first group was able to cross the river on rafts — an option now blocked by Mexican Navy river and shore patrols. teens to emergency rooms over nine years at a cost of almost $3 billion, a first-of- its-kind study found. Researchers called it the first nationally repre- sentative study on ER vis- its for gun injuries among U.S. kids. They found that more than one-third of the wounded children were hospitalized and 6 per- cent died. Injuries declined during most of the 2006- 14 study, but there was an upswing in the final year. The researchers found that 11 of every 100,000 children and teens treated in U.S. emergency rooms have gun-related injuries. That amounts to about 8,300 kids each year. The scope of the problem is broader though; the study doesn’t include kids killed or injured by gunshots who never made it to the hospi- tal, nor does it count costs for gunshot patients after they’re sent home. Analysis: Guns send over 8,000 U.S. kids to ER each year, analysis says Gun injuries, including many from assaults, sent 75,000 U.S. children and day of trading.

Bloomberg News reported in the afternoon that the Trump adminis- tration will put tariffs on the rest of the country’s imports from China if Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping don’t make substantial progress in eas- ing the trade dispute next month. The month comes in the midst of a corporate earn- ings season where a num- ber of big companies have warned that tariffs already in place have raised their costs. “I don’t know what more we need to see in the world to be able to come together and tackle this problem,” said Dr. Faiz Gani, the lead author and a researcher at Johns Hopkins University medical school.

Pipe-bomb suspect had hit list of targets, official says MIAMI (AP) — The man suspected of sending pipe bombs to prominent Democrats and other oppo- nents of President Donald Trump kept a list of elected officials and others who investigators believe were intended targets, an official told The Associated Press on Monday. The disclosure came as 56-year-old Cesar Sayoc made his initial court appearance in Miami fed- eral court Monday, saying little but tearing up, and after bomb squads were called to a post office in Atlanta about a suspicious mailing to CNN similar to the pipe bomb packages recovered in the case last week. The official said author- ities had recovered solder- ing equipment, a printer, and stamps similar to those used on the package bombs in the investiga- tion into Sayoc, who was arrested last week in Flor- ida. Authorities believe Sayoc was putting explo- sives together in his van. The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation and spoke on condition of ano- nymity to the AP. The offi- cial also said that, as part of the investigation, author- ities were scrutinizing Sayoc’s social media posts. The FBI said via its Twitter account that the recovered package in Atlanta was “similar in appearance” to the bub- ble-wrapped manila enve- lopes authorities say were sent by Sayoc to intended targets from Delaware to California, including for- mer President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Vice President Joe Biden.
