Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dan Roman. The National Hurricane Center says Lala is now a Category 1 hurricane as it moves westerly towards the Big Island of Hawaii. The storm has maximum sustained winds of 75 miles per hour. It could reach the island's southern end, Saturday, bringing between 8 to 25 inches of rain. Bill Dorman with Hawaii Public Radio says the heavy rain could be devastating. Landslide, mudslides, as well, rock falls. Those are all part of it. Saturation of ground is another concern. Flooding, flash flooding. Storm surges near the coast, so there are many layers to this and many layers of concern for the people of Hawaii. And, again, Hawaii Island is the main focus into this. Hawaii's governor has already declared a state of emergency. A year ago, the Trump administration opened the largest detention camp in the country at Fort Bliss, Texas. The calls to close the tent facility have grown only louder amid allegations of inhumane conditions. Three people in custody have died. Angela Cicerego with member station KTEP in El Paso reports. Civil rights and immigrant advocates gather to mark the one-year anniversary of the camp, which opened on August 17th of last year. They read testimony from detainees detailing unsanitary conditions, meager, undercooked meals, and dangerous medical neglect. Attorney Charlotte Bari Weiss with the Texas Civil Rights Project visits the camp. She read testimony from a 48... year old man detained at the camp who needed multiple medications for diabetes. I was only given insulin once per day by the medical staff. and my daily doses were often late or missed altogether. Immigration and customs enforcement has said detainees get proper care, but a government accountability office report released in June found the camp failed to meet basic health and safety standards. For NPR news, I'm Angela Kochergan, El Paso. The CDC says there's another summer surge of COVID underway in the United States. NPR's Rob Stein has more. COVID cases are increasing again nationwide. with the most activity in the south and west, but also inching up in the northeast and Midwest. The good news is that the levels of virus are still very low, and so far, this year's wave seems to be continuing the trend of getting milder each summer, sending fewer people to the hospital and causing fewer deaths. But the virus is expected to continue increasing for weeks, so health experts are advising people to consider masking up if they're in crowded places like airports. and to get one of the updated vaccines when they become available in the fall.
