Scattered showers and possible thunderstorms are forecasted for today, with high temperatures nearing 93 and a heat index pushing 100. The Washington Mystics will host the Chicago Sky this morning, while the Nationals face the Cardinals in St. Louis tonight. 'High Fidelity' by Nick Hornby is recommended as an enjoyable read about a record store owner with toxic interpersonal relationships. In Los Angeles, ICE agents conducted a major operation at MacArthur Park, accompanied by National Guard personnel to crack down on fake ID distribution, which was criticized as overly aggressive.
"ICE agents in Los Angeles conducted a rather ostentatious sweep of MacArthur Park yesterday morning. They came with horses and armored vehicles, carrying rifles and in tactical gear in the middle of what is the heart of immigrant Los Angeles."
"About 90 members of the California National Guard were at the park to protect immigration officers, according to defense officials. Internal Army documents say the bizarre display was supposed to be a show of presence."
"The news media is describing the operation as an ominous crackdown, but National Guard sources tell me that it was a botch."
"'High Fidelity' by Nick Hornby is a novel about record store owners who have toxic tendencies in their interpersonal relationships. It’s a breezy, albeit aggressively British, summer reading."
