Judge Again Bars Trump Administration From Deploying Troops to Portland
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A federal judge in Oregon has once again barred President Donald Trump’s administration from deploying the National Guard to Portland, Oregon until at least Friday. Trump appointee U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut issued the ruling Sunday after a three-day trial and says she will issue a final ruling on Friday. Both sides argued over whether protests at the city’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building met the conditions set out by Congress for using the military domestically. Immergut says she found “no credible evidence” that protests grew out of control in Portland before Trump federalized the troops.

In Gaza Cemeteries, Some Displaced Palestinians Live Among the Dead
KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Skeletons are neighbors for some Palestinians in Gaza who found nowhere else but cemeteries to shelter from the war. Gravestones have become seats and tables for families in a dusty, sun-baked cemetery in the southern city of Khan Younis. Some 30 families shelter there. The vast majority of Gaza’s population of over 2 million people has been displaced by the two years of war between Hamas and Israel. With the ceasefire that began on Oct. 10, some have returned to what remains of their homes. Others are still crowded into the strip of remaining territory that Israeli forces don’t control.

Trump’s Testing Plans for US Nuclear Weapons Won’t Include Explosions, Energy Secretary Says
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Energy Secretary Chris Wright says that new tests of the U.S. nuclear weapons system ordered up by President Donald Trump will not include nuclear explosions. Wright in a Fox News interview on Sunday clarified the Trump administration’s plans. Trump in a social media post last week said that he had “instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis.” Trump in the days since making that pronouncement had been coy when asked by reporters about whether he was ordering the resumption of explosive testing of nuclear weapons or calling for the testing of U.S. systems that could deliver a nuclear weapon.
