Today's Big Stories

1. Texas reaches 400 measles cases as U.S. deals with outbreaks in 5 states

At least five states have active measles outbreaks as of Friday, and Texas' is the largest with 400 cases.

The new outbreaks confirm health experts' fears that the virus will take hold in other U.S. communities with low vaccination rates and that the spread could stretch on for a year. The World Health Organization said this week cases in Mexico are linked to the Texas outbreak.

2. More than 200 rescued in South Texas after severe storms flood streets

Drenching rain along the Texas-Mexico border let up Friday, but rescues were still ongoing a day after severe storms trapped residents in their homes, forced drivers to abandon their vehicles on flooded roads and shut down an airport.

In Harlingen, officials said their city received more than 21 inches of rain this week, with the heaviest rainfall on Thursday causing severe flooding that had authorities rescuing more than 200 residents, with another 200 people still waiting to be rescued.

3. Trump asks Supreme Court for permission to resume deporting Venezuelan migrants under wartime law

The Trump administration on Friday asked the Supreme Court for permission to resume deportations of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador under an 18th century wartime law, while a court fight continues.

The emergency appeal to the high court follows a rejection of the Republican administration's plea to the federal appeals court in Washington. By a 2-1 vote, a panel of appellate judges left in place an order temporarily prohibiting deportations of the migrants under the rarely used Alien Enemies Act.

4. Texas AG investigating insurance company accused of spying on lawmakers, journalists, other Texans

Superior HealthPlan provides Medicaid coverage to adults and children, as well as coverage for the Children’s Health Insurance Program in Texas.
