In the day's other headlines, the U.S. Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to restart

deportations of migrants to countries other than their own. The case stems from an instance last month

It's that like walking through a swamp kind of feeling.

My thoughts on the heat warnings are, you know, you've got to be careful.

You can't, you got to stay hydrated and...

The sprawling heat will last for most of the week, leaving little relief in sight.

Of course, it's summer, and that always means higher temperatures.

But meteorologists say not like this, and not so early in the season.

Some pockets of the country, the places you see in darkest red, are expected to see temperatures this week upwards of 20 degrees above normal. The number of abortions
