A man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador has returned to the U.S. to face criminal charges. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be charged with human trafficking. Abrego Garcia was sent to a prison in El Salvador from Maryland on what the Trump administration originally said was an "administrative error," but later claimed he was a member of the MS-13 gang. Abrego Garcia became a rallying point for Democrats opposed to Trump's illegal immigration crackdown, saying he was deported without due process.        There's a rift between President Trump and Elon Musk after the two engaged in a war of words yesterday. The two went back and forth over Musk's criticism related to Trump's so called big beautiful bill. Trump said the Tesla CEO, who had just finished his time working at DOGE, had "gone crazy", while threatening to cancel all government contracts with Musk's companies. Musk said Trump wouldn't have won the election without him and claimed the real reason the Epstein list hasn't been fully released is because Trump is on it.        The "Devil in the Ozarks" is in custody. Grant Hardin, a former Arkansas police chief, escaped from prison last month by disguising himself as a law enforcement officer. He was serving time for murder and rape. The Izard County Sheriff's Office said Hardin was taken into custody about a mile-and-a-half west of prison grounds.        Severe weather is threatening nearly 90 million Americans from Colorado to the East coast. Heavy wind gusts and hail are both in the forecast as rounds of storms will last through the weekend. Kansas, Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle are at risk of hail today, while tornado warnings were put in place this morning in Oklahoma. This weekend, the southern plains and the south will be at risk for potential floods due to heavy rainfall.        Washington state police are warning cabin owners to lock up as they continue to search for a man accused of kidnapping and murdering his three young daughters. The Chelan County Sheriff's Office issued a news release yesterday advising cabin owners to lock all doors and leave the outside lights on. A national, multi-agency manhunt is ongoing for Travis Decker, who is accused of killing his daughters, ages five, eight and nine, then leaving their bodies near a campground outside Leavenworth, east of Seattle.        UFC 316 kicks off tomorrow night in New Jersey. In the main event, Bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili [[ Dwall-ISH-Veeli ]] will look to make his second title defense in a rematch against "Suga" Sean O'Malley. In the co-main event, women's Bantamweight champion Julianna Pena will look to defend her title against Kayla Harrison. President Trump is expected to be in attendance at the event takes place at the Prudential Center in Newark.
