ICE issued a temporary nationwide order to all officers to stop pursuing people in vehicles, according to a senior Department of Homeland Security official and two former senior DHS officials.
The move came after ICE officers shot and killed two men in less than a week in Maine and Texas. A senior DHS official said ICE is “evaluating the incidents to determine what additional training is needed to reduce the negative outcomes we are seeing.”
One former DHS official said officers are under “too much stress” after being asked to arrest more people and work more hours, and often their requests for time off are being denied.
The pressure is to blame for the recent fatal shootings, the officials told NBC News.
In Maine, the shooting has cast a spotlight on GOP Sen. Susan Collins, despite her calling for an investigation into the death of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, who agents claimed “attempted to flee the scene.”
Some Democratic candidates gunning to replace Graham Platner have criticized Collins' recent vote to continue funding the agency without requiring additional guardrails.

The war with Iran is estimated to cost between $80 billion to $100 billion, which could more than triple the recent $30 billion estimate. The Defense Department’s internal overall cost includes repairs to damaged U.S. bases and replenishing weaponry.
The increased estimate comes as the Pentagon is running out of money, as it failed to anticipate the cost of the war and other operations. The Pentagon has not publicly disclosed the full cost of the war.
So far, lawmakers have shown little interest in passing a supplemental request that would cover the potentially mounting costs, especially as pressure builds around continuing military action.
This morning, the U.S. launched daylight strikes on Iran, an unusual move that further signaled the increasing tempo in attacks. Days of back-and-forth strikes across the Middle East — and renewed threats to the Strait of Hormuz — have shredded the interim deal to end the conflict.
Here’s what we know about the cost.

The foodborne illness possibly linked to tainted lettuce or salad greens may have sickened nearly 7,000 people so far, the CDC said.
Cases of cyclosporiasis, which can cause weeks of severe diarrhea, have spread throughout the country in the past few weeks. The bulk of the cases are in Michigan, with over 3,000 confirmed.
Health officials have not yet identified the source of the outbreak, and no single product, restaurant, or distributor has been implicated. Taco Bell announced that some ingredients have been “voluntarily and temporarily removed” out of an abundance of caution.
Officials have advised Americans to be careful with raw vegetables. Rinsing produce is recommended, but cooking food is the only certain way to kill the parasite.
Here's what you need to know.

Apple alleged that OpenAI “never responded” to its concerns about allegations of trade secret theft, but emails reviewed by NBC News show a different story.
Messages show that Gabriel Gross, a lawyer for Apple with an outside law firm, intended to contact an OpenAI employee with the last name Wang about claims of theft. Instead, he emailed an employee with the last name Chang and confused their interactions.
Despite Gross apologizing, OpenAI’s general counsel asked Apple to remove him from the matter, a request which was declined. The mix-up may have contributed to souring the communication between the legal teams of the companies, whose relationship appears to be increasingly frayed.

Spain is headed to Sunday’s World Cup final after it did what no other French opponent could do — shut down its attack in a 2-0 victory. France’s seemingly unstoppable force finally met its match against a team that has only conceded one goal in seven games.
Kylian Mbappé, the most prolific goal-scorer in the history of the World Cup’s knockout stage, was neutralized. Instead, it was Spain's superstar, Yamine Lamal, who helped break the deadlock after winning a penalty kick in the first half. His teammate, striker Mikel Oyarzabal, buried the spot kick past French goalkeeper Mike Maignan. Right back Pedro Porro scored Spain's second goal in the 58th minute.
Dating to March 2024, Spain remains unbeaten in regular time in its last 37 matches, a national record. It has never lost a game at the World Cup or the European Championship under coach Luis de la Fuente.
The Spanish will play the winner of Wednesday's semifinal between Argentina and England on Sunday.

As a zillennial, I sit awkwardly on the cusp between millennials and Gen Z.
So when the Bureau of Labor Statistics published its annual American Time Use Survey in June, I couldn’t wait to dive into the data to answer a question I have been wondering about: Are Gen Z adults spending their 20s differently than millennials did? With more than two decades of survey data, we finally have enough evidence to tell that story.
I found Gen Z adults are spending significantly more time alone than millennials did at the same age. My conversations with experts revealed the reasons run much deeper than an adolescence shaped by social media or the Covid pandemic. It stems from how Gen Z was raised.
Curious how your average day compares with others in your generation? We built an interactive tool to show how a typical day in your life stacks up with other generations.
