Today's show covers a controversial pardon in Minnesota, a dramatic immigration enforcement update, a dangerous stunt atop one of America's most famous landmarks, and South Carolina's budget impasse.

Minnesota officials, including Governor Tim Walz, are facing intense criticism after granting a pardon to an undocumented immigrant who had previously been convicted of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl and had been slated for deportation. We break down the timeline, the pardon process, and the reaction from across the political spectrum.

Meanwhile, newly released body camera footage shows the dramatic arrest of two social media influencers who climbed the antenna of the Empire State Building before becoming engaged high above New York City. We have the latest on the criminal charges and the viral video that has everyone talking.

Also today, immigration enforcement operations continue to expand. Federal authorities say U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested approximately 10,000 people over a five-day period as enforcement efforts intensified following recent legal developments involving birthright citizenship. We examine what officials are reporting and what it means moving forward.

And back in South Carolina, lawmakers failed to approve a state budget before the July 1 deadline. We explain what happens now, how state government continues operating under a continuing resolution, and the major issues lawmakers still must resolve before a final spending plan is adopted.
