The online video ad, which was released online and has since been pulled, sparked criticism for depicting violence against women, while some consumers said they planned to stop buying products made by Callaway.

Brewer said the ad, created by Good Good Golf, was released last week to promote a co-branded driver and had been approved by Callaway before the spot was posted online. The ad featured Good Good co-founder Garrett Clark telling Alexis Miestowski, a former Division I female golfer, in a menacing voice, "Do not touch my new driver," after he shoves her to the ground. 

Good Good, which didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, apologized for the ad in an Aug. 22 social media post, adding that it has "always stood" for making golf more inclusive. Neither Callaway nor Good Good immediately responded to requests for comment. 

"That approval should never have happened. Mistakes were made, and we are taking the matter very seriously," Brewer wrote on Tuesday. "I want to make it clear that we sincerely apologize for the video."

Some social media users criticized Callaway's apology. 

"I'm deeply disappointed by Callaway's response — and by the company itself," one person wrote on social media in response to Brewer's post, describing himself as a golfer who uses Callaway products. "Please stop framing this simply as a 'mistake.' Your own statement says the video was approved by Callaway before it was posted."

Other commenters suggested that the company should donate to the Ladies Professional Golf Association and domestic violence organizations.

Women are a source of growth for the golf industry, with the National Golf Foundation reporting a 45% increase in female golfers from 2020 to 2025. The male golfer population has increased 12% over the same time period, the group said.

Despite the growing number of women golfers, they remain a minority on the links, accounting for 28% of golfers. Still, that's the highest proportion of female golfers on record, the National Golf Foundation said. 

It happened just after 12:30 a.m. in the 3300 block of Eighth Street, according to Los Angeles Police Department officers. 

Circumstances leading up to the crash remain under investigation. Police said that at least two cars were involved, but that some parked vehicles may have also been struck after the initial collision. 

One of the drivers, only identified as a woman in her 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police. 

The second driver was hospitalized with injuries sustained in the collision. Their condition was not immediately known, but police later said that they were arrested for DUI and booked after they were released from the hospital.

LAPD investigators said that they are not investigating the incident as a hit-and-run. 

Video from the scene showed a small crowd gathered near the spot of the crash, which also appeared to have sheared a fire hydrant in the area. Water was seen gushing dozens of feet into the air before police could begin investigating the incident.

It happened at around 4:20 p.m. at South Crescent Bay Beach, a news release from the Laguna Beach Department of Marine Safety said. Lifeguards pulled the victim from the surfline and carried him to shore. 

"The victim was seen bodysurfing at the beach leading up to the incident," the release said.

According to lifeguards, the man was in cardiac arrest after he was brought out of the water. 

Paramedics took him to Mission Hospital Laguna Beach after lifeguards performed CPR at the scene, according to the release.

On Thursday, Laguna Beach officials confirmed with CBS LA that the man had died. He was identified as 41-year-old Justin Anand Shahani by the Orange County Coroner's Office. 

No further information was immediately available. Anyone with more information was asked to contact Marine Safety Captain Dane Doran at 949-464-6609. 

This is one of several similar incidents to occur in Laguna Beach in recent months. In June, 5-year-old Amada Mia Brown was swept into the ocean near Christmas Cove while walking along the beach with her family. Her body was found days later about three miles from where she was last seen.

Earlier in August, lifeguards had to rescue a woman and a teenage girl who were both found unresponsive in the water at Aliso Beach. After they were both taken to a nearby hospital, officials said they would make full recoveries. 

Nepal authorities said the death toll in the Himalayan nation rose to 538, according to French news agency AFP. Helicopters had carried more than 3,000 people to safety in Kathmandu and other locations, but local Nepalese media said there could still be as many as 12,000 people missing, many times more than the official counts offered by authorities.

On the Chinese side, there was little information about survivors, although the death toll rose to five Friday as state media showed evacuations of villages and leaders' efforts to direct relief efforts.

China's state media previously said 558 people were missing and Nepal's disaster management authority said Friday that 977 were unaccounted for. Hundreds of the missing are foreigners who were in the area to work, trek or make a pilgrimage to a sacred Nepali peak.

The Red Cross said Friday that some 90,000 people had likely been impacted by the flooding, which is believed to have been triggered by the collapse of a rocky ledge and the vast portion of a glacier it had supported.

The Nepal Police issued a fresh alert Friday after receiving information that a dam on the Tibetan side of the border had burst. Security personnel and rescue and relief workers were told to stay on high alert and immediately move to a safe location if necessary.

It was unclear if that concern was related to fears of flooding from an overflowing barrier lake that formed behind a dam made of debris from the initial flash floods, high up on the Chinese side of the Himalayan mountains.

Nepal police spokesperson Abi Narayan Kafle said the rescue operation "hasn't stopped," but was continuing under high alert.

Although Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported Friday that the lake was more than 6 miles from Gyirong Port, the border crossing with Nepal that was decimated by a wall of mud and water on Wednesday morning, it said the risk of flooding was high. It said the lake was at an elevation of 9,680 feet, about 3,280 feet above Gyirong Port. 

CCTV later said flood risks from the overflowing lake were deemed "manageable," Reuters reported.

Nepali Army rescuers were working to help people trapped in a hydropower tunnel in Rasuwa, part of the Upper Trishuli-1 Hydropower Project.

In video from the scene, rescuers half-pulled, half-pushed a man covered in dark brown mud out of the tunnel. He was one of dozens who were likely trapped inside.

Army spokesperson Brig. Gen. Raja Ram Basnet told The Associated Press the focus was on survivors.

"It is complicated to find the entry and exit points of the tunnel because everything has been covered by mud," Basnet said. "Our first priority is rescuing the stranded people."

What caused the flash floods?

Scientists said satellite images indicated that bedrock underneath a glacier high in the Himalayan region had collapsed, taking part of the glacier with it. The rockfall was so extreme, it registered as a magnitude 5.2 seismic event. 

The rocks and melted water suddenly swelled the rivers in the valleys below, causing torrents of water that swept buildings, bridges and earth downstream in Tibet and Nepal.

Scientists were still piecing together information from satellite and ground-level data to confirm exactly what caused the flood, but Jakob Steiner, a geoscientist at the University of Graz in Austria who is currently based in Bangladesh, said "a lower part of a glacier has really come off" ... noting satellite images that he said made it look "like someone cut with a huge knife through the whole lower part" of the rock and ice.  

The Hindu Kush Himalayan region is warming rapidly, driving major changes in glaciers, snow cover, permafrost and mountain slopes, according to climate scientists.

Around 78% of the glacier area, located between about 14,760 and 19,685 feet above sea level, is highly exposed to warming.

"What happened yesterday is unfortunately the new normal. It's going to get worse from here onwards," Steiner said.

Americans among the missing

Hikmat Singh Ayer, CEO and senior director of the Nepal Tourism Board, told CBS News' Arshad R. Zargar on Thursday that at least 65 Americans were among the missing foreign nationals in the small Himalayan nation, almost doubling the number of U.S. nationals reported missing the previous day.

In a subsequent update, the tourism board said 27 foreign nationals had been rescued from the flood zone in the Rasuwa district, including two U.S. nationals identified as a man and woman in their 50s.  

A U.S. State Department spokesperson told CBS News on Thursday that the agency was aware of about 90 Americans who may be impacted by the floods, and it was continuing to closely track the situation. 

The department said three U.S. citizens had been rescued, and the spokesperson said the agency wasn't aware of any deaths of U.S. nationals.

President Trump said the flooding was terrible to see, describing how "strong, well-built buildings were wiped out like they were toothpicks."

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump said the U.S. spoke with Nepalese leaders and offered to provide "anything they want."

Leslie Crespi, a community liaison for the Isha Foundation, a volunteer-run group that promotes well-being founded by Indian spiritual leader Sadhguru Vasudev, told CBS News in an interview that about 80 people who were taking part in a pilgrimage it was running in the region were missing.

"At this point we are awaiting word," Crespi said in a phone interview from McMinnville, Tennessee, of the missing pilgrims. "We have done as much outreach as we can through the State Department, through the embassy."

The 80 people are from 19 countries, Crespi said, including 22 from the U.S. Crespi said about 1,000 people in total were taking part in the pilgrimage. The 22 missing Americans were all adults, and included 13 women and nine men, the foundation later said in data it provided to CBS News.

She said the Isha Foundation has done pilgrimages for 21 years.

"In those 21 years, we have never lost a life," Crespi said. "And so we are shocked by it." 

U.S. citizen Deepak Dandu said his wife, Sridevi Vejella, was among those missing in Nepal. She was on the pilgrimage with the Isha Foundation to Mount Kailash in Tibet — a sacred site for Hindus, Buddhists and others — which he said was a "lifelong dream" for her. 

He told CBS News she was crossing from China into Nepal when the flood hit. The foundation told him she was part of a group that was present at the Gyirong Port immigration complex.

Dandu was getting ready to board a flight to Hyderabad, India, where his son is.

"He is going through a lot, hearing all the news," Dandu said of his son. "I think he is really upset. I'm trying to go there and be with him."

"10 or so seconds saved some of us"  

Videos of Wednesday's disaster showed floodwaters destroying buildings, bridges and vehicles as people ran in front of the stories-high torrent. In the aftermath, broken concrete lay upended in expanses of brown mud that also caked buildings and buried streets.

Customs officer Karbir Gaire was among the survivors in Timure, the closest Nepalese village to the border with China. Gaire reached his office around 8 a.m. Wednesday and was busy working on his computer when he first felt the ground shake.

"Right after the shake, I noticed a black storm coming towards us," he recalled from Kathmandu, where he was back with family. "We all immediately started running out and within a few seconds, we were climbing uphill on the opposite side of our office building. I think those 10 or so seconds saved some of us."

Gaire said he didn't remember exactly how many people were in the office when the disaster struck, but his 15 colleagues were missing. "It was like a Hollywood movie scene. I don't call it a flood, it was a tsunami."

He described Timure as a vibrant place filled with government offices, hotels, cafes, banks, primary schools, tea shops and residential buildings, where more than 1,500 people were living.

The Los Angeles Police Department said the incident was reported at about 11 p.m. Tuesday. The employee, identified only as a man, was taking out the trash in the parking lot when another man, who was loitering in and around the store, approached him.

It's not clear what led up to the incident, but the man allegedly produced a knife and stabbed the employee in the lower back.

The victim was transported to a local hospital in stable condition.

On Thursday, LAPD officers said that 30-year-old resident Jonathan Rangel had been arrested for attempted murder in connection with the stabbing. He was booked at the Van Nuys Jail and his bail was set at $1.1 million.

In a statement, Pavilions said the safety of its associates and customers is the company's "top priority."

"We are aware of the incident that occurred outside our store and are focused on supporting our associate," the company said. "Because this is an active investigation, we cannot provide additional details at this time."  

The ruling marks a victory for Anthropic in its monthslong legal battle against the administration over its push to impose guardrails on its powerful AI model Claude, which is used by the military. Anthropic sought to prevent Claude from being used for mass surveillance or fully autonomous weapons, but the military argued it should be allowed to use the model for all lawful purposes. 

With the two sides unable to reach a deal, President Trump ordered federal agencies to stop using Claude earlier this year, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared the firm a supply chain risk, aiming to prevent private defense contractors from using it to do work for the military. The administration argued those moves were necessary to safeguard national security.

In her ruling Thursday, U.S. District Judge Rita Lin of San Francisco declared that those actions violated the First Amendment by punishing it for disagreeing with the government, calling them "unlawful retaliation against Anthropic for constitutionally protected expressive activities." She also said the moves against Anthropic violated the company's due process rights.

Lin said her order does not require the government to use Anthropic or stop it from giving another AI firm its business, "so long as those actions are consistent with applicable regulations, statutes, and constitutional provisions."

"The government is certainly owed deference on weighty issues of national security," Lin wrote in a 59-page opinion. "But Defendants' contemporaneous words and deeds confirm that the challenged actions were based on a desire to make a public example out of Anthropic for its 'arrogance' in criticizing the government, not based on any articulable basis to believe that Anthropic would actually sabotage its model."

Lin continued: "The empty invocation of national security is not a blank check to punish and retaliate against government critics."

An Anthropic spokesperson told CBS News: "We welcome the court's ruling that this supply chain risk designation was unlawful. We remain focused on working productively with the government to harness AI for our national security so all Americans benefit from this technology."

CBS News has reached out to the Pentagon and the White House for comment.

In her ruling, Lin wrote that Anthropic does not meet the legal definition of a "supply chain risk," a designation typically used to prevent a foreign adversary from sabotaging a crucial U.S. system.

The government has argued in the past that Anthropic's tough negotiating stance and push for AI restrictions caused federal officials to fear the company could engage in "future sabotage" by installing a "kill switch" in its software. 

But Lin called this concern "entirely unfounded," pointing to evidence offered by Anthropic that it doesn't have the ability to maintain "backdoor" access to its systems. She also argued the fears of sabotage are tough to square with the government's continued interest in collaborating with Anthropic on advanced AI models.

"An IT vendor does not become a potential adversary of the United States whenever it asks probing questions or stubbornly insists on particular contracting terms, even if doing so causes DoW to doubt its trustworthiness," Lin said in her ruling Thursday.

Lin also invalidated a February social media post by Hegseth stating that no military contractors are allowed to conduct "any commercial activity with Anthropic," saying it led to a broader "boycott" of the AI firm — even among military contractors that were using Anthropic for non-military-related work. Lawyers for the government had conceded that designating Anthropic as a supply chain risk didn't prevent companies from using the AI technology for other purposes.

And Lin reversed several other federal agencies' efforts to cut off Anthropic, which followed a Truth Social post by Mr. Trump ordering the government to "IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic's technology." She said those moves weren't authorized by law, and the president's directive was a "retaliatory act, taken without due process, meant to punish Anthropic for its protected speech."

The judge wrote that "the decision to publicly broadcast Anthropic's punishment via social media—even before the formal, administrative process of making the necessary findings to designate Anthropic a supply chain risk had begun— makes little sense except as an attempt to swiftly make a public example of Anthropic for daring to criticize the Administration."

The dispute between Anthropic and the military highlights a broader debate over how governments and private companies should balance the potential benefits and perils of artificial intelligence.

Anthropic and its CEO, Dario Amodei, have long been vocal in their support for regulations and guardrails to manage the dangers of unconstrained AI technology. The Trump administration has called for some voluntary federal oversight of powerful AI models, but argues that overly stringent regulations could stifle innovation and make the U.S. less competitive against China, and has accused some AI models of being politically biased or "woke."

The disagreement burst into public view earlier this year, as the two sides feuded over AI restrictions. Amodei told CBS News in February he has a "patriotic" desire to work with the military, but he has two absolute "red lines": using Claude to conduct mass surveillance of Americans, and using it to power autonomous weapons that can target people without human input. He argued Claude isn't accurate enough for autonomous weapons, and mass surveillance could clash with American values.

The military argued that federal laws and internal policies already prevent domestic mass surveillance or fully autonomous weapons, so there is no need to restrict those practices in the Pentagon's contracts. 

After negotiations between the two sides broke down in February, the Trump administration lashed out at Anthropic, accusing it of seeking to impose its own ideology on the military. Hegseth called Anthropic "sanctimonious," and Mr. Trump called it a "radical left, woke company."

After the Trump administration took action against Anthropic, the company sued in San Francisco federal court, accusing the government of violating the First Amendment by punishing it for protected speech. It also challenged the government's actions in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, a case that is still pending.

Anthropic drew support from civil liberties groups and from other tech industry players, including Microsoft, which wrote in an amicus brief that designating Anthropic a supply chain risk "may bring severe economic effects that are not in the public interest."

The government pushed back, arguing it cut off Anthropic not because it criticized the Trump administration, but because the Defense Department — which the administration has sought to rename the Department of War — no longer trusted the company. It also argued Mr. Trump has the power to decide not to buy Anthropic's services, and called the decisions by federal agencies to stop using Claude "internal IT housekeeping."

"The government did not retaliate against Anthropic for any protected speech," Justice Department lawyers wrote in June. "Instead, DoW assessed a substantial risk that Anthropic might manipulate its AI model to enforce subjective redlines on DoW's use of the model, in ways that could cause serious harm to national security."

Lin was skeptical of the Trump administration's position early on. She issued a preliminary injunction blocking the government from cutting off Anthropic in March, after calling the moves "troubling" and "Orwellian."

Lawyers for Beatty, who sued last year over Mr. Trump's changes to the Kennedy Center, argue that the board's recent efforts to recognize the president violate federal law, and they asked U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper to issue emergency relief blocking the changes.

Cooper quickly convened a hearing to consider Beatty's request but did not issue a decision. The Kennedy Center's board has agreed not to take any action until Sept. 8, though the judge swiftly questioned Brantley Mayers, a Justice Department lawyer, as to why it had to move so soon.

"What does that have to do with what Congress intended?" Cooper asked of the fast-approaching deadline.

Hours after the hearing ended, the Justice Department said in a filing that the Kennedy Center board would not move forward with its plans to recognize Mr. Trump on the building until Oct. 8, pushing back its timeline by a month.

The board, which is chaired by Mr. Trump and composed of his Cabinet members and allies, approved a resolution earlier this month that calls for the inscription "Renovated and Restored by President Donald J. Trump" to be placed under the center's name on the building and for the inscription "Endowed by the Trump Kennedy Center Fund" to be added if a $100 million fundraising threshold is met. The resolution also calls for the Kennedy Center's grounds to be named the "President Donald J. Trump Plaza." 

Nathaniel Zelinsky, a lawyer representing Beatty, called the board's vote to again put Mr. Trump's name on the center "deja vu" and an act of "outright defiance" of an order from Cooper earlier this year that barred the center's closure and ordered Mr. Trump's name to be removed from the building.

"They are doing the same thing they were told they couldn't do before," Zelinsky said, calling the board's move this month an "attempt to end-run your order."

The board voted late last year to rename the Kennedy Center to "The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts," and the president's name was added to the building soon after. But construction crews removed the president's name from the facade in June after Cooper's ruling. Since then, the front portico of the building has been covered by a construction tarp, concealing most of its name. 

Zelinsky has said that the marble on the building was damaged as a result of the new inscription.

But Mayers, counsel to the associate attorney general, told Cooper that the Kennedy Center is in "structural and financial disarray," echoing assertions made in a filing Tuesday. In court papers, the Justice Department warned the performing arts institution may have to be demolished if it cannot be closed for two years for renovations.

"There is no renaming here," Mayers repeatedly argued in court. He said the Kennedy Center board moved to inscribe Mr. Trump's name in the facade and plaza because of ongoing and future fundraising efforts by the president to supplement congressional funds for the center.

"President Trump is a successful fundraiser," Mayers said.

The Justice Department had argued in filings that the center's "dangerously dilapidated, outdated, and decrepit" conditions and millions of dollars in financial losses put the living memorial to President John F. Kennedy in a "financial and structural death spiral" that will require it to close for renovations.

"Without those efforts, the Center will deteriorate further into an unsafe, decrepit structure that will be required to be taken down, with a determination to follow on what to build on the site, such as a large outdoor amphitheater overlooking the Potomac River that has been proposed, by some, for many years," lawyers for the federal government wrote.

But Cooper told Mayers that the claims about the physical state of the Kennedy Center were a "nonsequitur," since he is tasked with deciding whether the board's attempt to put Mr. Trump's name back on the building complies with federal law.

Still, he also questioned lawyers for both sides on whether he still has jurisdiction over the case, since the Trump administration appealed his earlier decision in favor of Beatty.

Cooper had previously ruled that "Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it." He wrote then that no other individual other than Kennedy can be memorialized on the center's front portico.

There are no official existing plans to tear down the almost 55-year-old performing arts center. But the warning could raise the stakes in a monthslong legal dispute over the center, which Mr. Trump and his handpicked board of trustees have sought to overhaul.

Beatty was seated next to her legal team in the courtroom. When he took the bench, Cooper joked to the congresswoman that the ongoing legal battle "may have been more than you bargained for when you joined this suit," prompting laughter from the courtroom.

Ahead of the hearing, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said he had "no idea" whether the Trump administration has the legal authority to tear down the center, and called adding Mr. Trump's name to parts of the center's campus "the right thing to do."

"What I can't figure out is why we're in this courtroom," Lutnick said.

The secretary remained in the courtroom for the entire hearing and spoke with Justice Department attorneys during a brief break in the proceedings. 

Lutnick is not a member of the Kennedy Center's board of trustees, but his wife, Allison, is. 

Mexican authorities regularly rescue exotic animals from properties owned by wealthy drug traffickers. Some Mexican drug cartels are known to house exotic cats as symbols of power and, occasionally, to dispose of their enemies.  According to a 2023 U.S. indictment, some victims of a Sinaloa cartel faction were "fed dead or alive to tigers."

On this occasion, however, the military found them during an operation targeting fuel smugglers.

Smuggling gasoline and diesel from the United States into Mexico and reselling it tax-free is a huge money-maker for organized crime gangs, including drug cartels.

During these latest raids on five properties, the military seized 18,000 gallons of diesel, fuel tanks, pumps, firearms, and tools.

One person was arrested.

Mexican authorities cracked down on fuel smuggling in 2025, when high-ranking navy officers and officials were implicated in the illegal trade.

Some 10 billion liters of black market fuel were seized at that time in Tamaulipas.

The attorney general's office on Thursday formally charged Fernando Farias, a high-ranking officer who was expelled last week from Argentina, with fuel smuggling.

A former governor of Tamaulipas, Ernesto Ruffo, was also recently arrested on charges of fuel theft.

Fuel smuggling a growing problem

Fuel theft — more commonly known as huachicol in Mexico — has risen to the second most profitable revenue stream for Mexican cartels behind drug trafficking, according to the U.S. Treasury. 

U.S. officials allege that some cartel members steal fuel and crude oil from Pemex by bribing insiders, tapping pipelines, siphoning refineries, hijacking tanker trucks, and intimidating employees.

The stolen fuel is then sold across Mexico, the United States and Central America, while crude oil is smuggled north via complicit brokers — frequently disguised as "waste oil" to evade taxes and environmental scrutiny, the U.S. Treasury discovered.

Once inside the United States, the oil is then funneled to unscrupulous importers along the southwest border, sold at deep discounts on U.S. and global markets with proceeds quietly funneled back to the cartels.

U.S. authorities have even accused the Jalisco New Generation cartel of operating its own service stations.

The United States has been cracking down. In June, the U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on two Mexican men and nine companies involved in transportation, financial services and real estate, accused of being tied to a cartel-linked fuel theft ring.

In December, the Treasury Department imposed sanctions on a violent Mexican fuel-theft cartel and its imprisoned leader, nicknamed "The Sledgehammer."

They finished off the preseason with a 20-18 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night. Two weeks from now, they'll hop on a 16-hour flight to open the season against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia.

"And now here we go," Rams coach Sean McVay said. "We know what a great challenge it's going to be."

Ty Simpson threw a go-ahead touchdown in the second quarter and Harrison Mevis kicked two 27-yard field goals for the Rams, who won all three of their preseason games. Simpson finished 18 of 23 for 119 yards.

"I thought he had good command," McVay said. "He's got a great game-day demeanor."

The Rams didn't play any starters in keeping with McVay's approach to games that don't count in the standings. Even backup quarterback Stetson Bennett was held out.

The Rams added a familiar face earlier Thursday, bringing back wide receiver Tutu Atwell while sending running back Jarquez Hunter to the Miami Dolphins. Atwell was drafted by the Rams in 2021. He signed as a free agent with Miami in March but didn't play a regular-season game there.

"He adds depth. It gives us an opportunity to be able to have that speed element, and he can do some different things," McVay said, denying the move had anything to do with a potential league suspension of star wide receiver Puka Nacua.

The Chargers went 1-2 in the preseason, coming off a 41-17 loss to the 49ers last week.

"I liked the response of the entire team from week two to week three of the preseason," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "Many of the things we were working on I saw some real strides. Offensive line would be a big one. Really like the way it's coming together."

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert played just two series. His fumble led to Mevis' first 27-yard field goal early in the first quarter.

Herbert bounced right back, throwing a 65-yard TD pass to Quentin Johnston — the second-longest catch of the receiver's career — on the second play of a drive that lasted 14 seconds and gave the Chargers a 7-3 lead.

"It was double-wow — the route, the throw, the protection," Harbaugh said.

New defensive coordinator Chris O'Leary chest-bumped safety Tony Jefferson after the Chargers forced the Rams to turn the ball over on downs inside the 1-yard line on a drive that lasted 9:41.

Trey Lance took over for Herbert in the second quarter, with his first series ending on a shanked 20-yard punt by JK Scott. The Rams quickly took the lead for good on third-stringer Simpson's 11-yard TD pass to fourth-string receiver Brennan Presley for a 10-7 lead.

Cameron Dicker missed a 49-yard field goal just before halftime, leaving the Chargers trailing 13-7. Known as the most accurate kicker in NFL history, he also whiffed on two extra-point attempts in three preseason games.

Dicker cut the deficit to 13-10 in the third, hitting a 34-yard field goal.

The Rams extended the lead to 20-10 in the fourth on Matthew Caldwell's 8-yard TD pass to Dean Connors.

The Chargers closed to 20-18 on Gregory Desrosiers' 34-yard TD run and third-string quarterback DJ Uiagalelei's 2-point conversion pass to Evan Svoboda.

Injury report

Rams: QB Caldwell (knee) went out after being hurt on a keeper late in the fourth quarter.

Chargers: WR Dalevon Campbell appeared to hurt his foot in the third quarter.

Up next

Rams: Open Sept. 10 against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia.

Chargers: Open Sept. 13 against the Arizona Cardinals at SoFi Stadium.

The debate comes after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced plans earlier this month to spend $10 million to $20 million on what the agency describes as "conductive distraction and de-escalation devices," including gloves with electrical shock capabilities.

The technology is now at the center of a push at the California State Capitol to prohibit law enforcement agencies in the state from possessing or using the devices.

Sacramento County sheriff defends electric gloves

Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper confirmed Thursday that his department spent $35,000 to purchase 10 of the devices.

Cooper said deputies have been trained to use the gloves, but none have been physically used during an on-duty incident.

During a news conference, Cooper criticized the effort to ban the devices, arguing that state lawmakers are reacting to actions by the federal government rather than addressing how California law enforcement agencies use the technology.

"That's been the big issue, is this knee-jerk reaction when the federal government does something, the state legislature wants to ban it," Cooper said.

Cooper said the gloves produce a lower voltage than tasers and can provide deputies with another option for taking someone into custody.

He argued the devices could reduce the need for physical strikes, batons or other less-lethal weapons during an arrest.

"It is very effective, so it saves lives. It prevents injuries," Cooper said.

He also said the devices could reduce the risk of injuries to both deputies and people being detained.

Lawmakers call devices dangerous

Assemblymember Sharp Collins, who introduced AB 2760, said the technology is too new and potentially dangerous to be deployed by law enforcement.

Civil rights organizations and other lawmakers have also criticized the use of the devices, particularly amid growing scrutiny of how federal immigration agents detain people.

"This new and dangerous tool, but also just the fact that it is a new and dangerous tool will be in the hands of our least trained and most lawless law enforcement," Collins said.

Under the proposed legislation, local, state and federal agencies would be prohibited from possessing, using or obtaining electric Taser gloves in California or with state funds.

Collins said lawmakers should not wait for someone to be seriously injured before taking action.

"We cannot wait until someone is actually killed or seriously injured... We cannot spend state money or tax dollars on technology that is not vetted or even proven to be safe," Collins said.

The state Senate voted 30-9 on Monday to approve a rule change that would help expedite the bill's movement through the Legislature before the session ends next week.

Jonathan Rodriguez, 33, was arrested at LAX on Aug. 27, 2026, after his attorney negotiated and coordinated his surrender with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. Law enforcement said Rodriguez was taken into custody without incident and booked into jail.

He's accused of killing 16-year-old Jonathan Flores in a hit-and-run crash following an apparent road rage incident near BMO Stadium on Nov. 22, 2024. 

Investigators said Rodriguez got into an altercation with a group of roughly 40 bicyclists, which included Flores, riding around Exposition Park. The riders veered off the road and through an opening in the fencing surrounding a parking lot near BMO Stadium. Rodriguez allegedly followed the bicyclists and ran over Flores. 

Flores' friends said the teen was not involved in the altercation and that another bicyclist may have hit Rodriguez's side mirror. The 16-year-old's family said he was a high school junior and an honor roll student.

"It's a tragic incident and 100% preventable, avoidable. It should have never happened," CHP Sgt. Dan Kene said that night. 

Officers said Rodriguez sped out of the lot and fled the scene. The CHP said he eventually fled to Mexico before ultimately using his dual citizenship to settle down in El Salvador.

Sale (13-9) threw 80 of his 109 pitches for strikes and did not walk a batter, lowering his ERA to 2.06 with his first complete game in more than seven years. The 10-time All-Star posted his fourth double-digit strikeout game this season and the 95th of his career, which ranks seventh in major league history.

Fans in the sellout crowd of 39,650 cheered when the left-hander strolled out to the mound for the ninth inning even though relievers were ready in the Atlanta bullpen. Braves manager Walt Weiss stuck with his 37-year-old ace after Freddie Freeman singled leading off the ninth.

Teoscar Hernández popped out, pinch-runner Alek Thomas was out at second on Miguel Rojas' fielder's-choice grounder and Sale struck out Alex Call for his 17th complete game and first since 2019 with Boston at Kansas City.

It was Sale's fourth career shutout and first since that three-hitter against the Royals on June 5, 2019. Sale threw a 100.1 mph fastball to Shohei Ohtani in the third, reaching triple digits on a pitch for the first time since July 2018 with the Red Sox.

Baldwin lined the first pitch from Yamamoto (12-8) into the right-field Chop House restaurant. It was Baldwin's fourth leadoff shot this season and 22nd homer overall. Yamamoto allowed only four hits with eight strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.

The NL East-leading Braves won the season series 5-1 against the Dodgers, who sit atop the NL West.

Braves shortstop Ha-Seong Kim, hitting .078, was rewarded with a start after his game-winning, pinch-hit single with two outs in the ninth inning of Wednesday night's 6-5 win over the Dodgers. Kim singled and stole second base in the third.

Up next

Dodgers: LHP Tarik Skubal (8-7, 2.91 ERA) will make what is expected to be an emotional Detroit homecoming when he starts Friday night's series opener at the Tigers.

Braves: RHP Grant Holmes (8-5, 3.64 ERA) is scheduled to start when the Braves open a three-game series against RHP Tomoyuki Sugano (12-7, 4.96) and the Colorado Rockies.

If Gov. Gavin Newsom signs off on Assembly Bill 762, the new law would make the importation and manufacturing of disposable vapes illegal in the state beginning on Jan. 1, 2027. The legislation would also prohibit anyone from selling e-cigarettes starting on Jan. 1, 2028. 

Anyone who violates the proposed ban could be fined $500. 

"We are hopeful the governor will recognize the threat these devices pose to our communities and that the costs of cleaning up the mess these devices leave are borne by ratepayers," said Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin, who represents Thousand Oaks and introduced the bill. 

Supporters of the bill argued that battery-powered e-cigarettes often end up in the trash, where they can create a fire hazard at landfills or litter the ground, leaching toxic chemicals into waterways. They cited a 2024 study from the CDC Foundation that found that Americans throw away 500,000 vapes a day.

"It is against common sense to pollute our land and water for an electronic product that is used just a few times, serves no beneficial purpose, and creates hazardous waste," said Jenn Engstrom, state director of California Public Interest Research Group or CALPIRG. "We're hopeful California will continue to be a leader in waste reduction by prohibiting this unnecessary and harmful product."

CALPIRG added that manufacturing vapes requires copper wire and lithium, arguing that those metals could be used to create electric car batteries instead. 

In 2022, California voters approved Proposition 31, which reaffirmed a ban on flavored tobacco, which included cigarettes and vapes. 

The order from U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani is the latest development in the legal battle over President Trump's efforts to tighten the rules for mail voting ahead of the November elections. That fight escalated this week, after the Supreme Court halted a decision in a different case that had blocked the Trump administration from implementing provisions of an executive order that aims to restrict mail voting.

On the heels of that ruling from the nation's highest court, a group of two dozen states and the District of Columbia filed a new lawsuit Wednesday seeking to block the new rule from the Postal Service, published last week, that regulates mail voting for the upcoming federal elections. A coalition of voting rights groups also challenged the new requirements, which were issued in response to Mr. Trump's executive order.

The states and voting rights groups argued that Congress has not given the Postal Service the authority to set the rules for federal elections or mail voting. Instead, the Constitution gives states the power to administer elections, the challengers said.

For 14 days, Talwani agreed to halt enforcement of several key provisions of the Postal Service's rule for the upcoming elections, which will determine which party controls the House and Senate.

"Based on the record presently before the court, Plaintiff States face irreparable harm where they are required to comply with a likely unconstitutional regulation for which compliance is practically impossible as to the 2026 midterm elections, now little more than two months away," Talwani wrote in her 11-page order. "Most Plaintiff States have already ordered their mail ballots, and some are required by state law to send them to eligible voters as early as next week."

The states, she continued, "have neither time nor funds to design new mail ballots, seek approval of the new designs, order production of mail ballots, update their own election management systems, train election officials to use the USPS portal, and upload citizen data to the portal, all before the midterms."

Talwani said Congress did not delegate authority to the Postal Service to regulate election mail. She found that the states are likely to succeed on the merits of their arguments that the agency lacked authority to issue the rule, which the judge said is likely unconstitutional.

"If Plaintiff States are unable to comply with the Final Rule, an outcome that seems unavoidable given the timeframe, they will violate their obligations under the Constitution and State laws to administer elections," the Boston-based federal judge wrote.

The Justice Department is likely to appeal the decision, and the challenge to the new restrictions for mail voting could land before the Supreme Court.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, who was among the 24 attorneys general suing, criticized the new regulations in response to Talwani's order.

"This rule is a clear attempt by the federal government to interfere in elections it has no power to control," she said in a statement. "Today, a federal court halted it before this administration could wreak havoc on our elections. "

The dispute arose out of an executive order Mr. Trump signed in March that sought to restrict mail voting, which the president frequently claims leads to widespread fraud, though he has not put forth evidence in support of his claims.

The order directs the Department of Homeland Security to compile "State Citizenship Lists" of confirmed U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote and instructs the attorney general to prioritize investigations and prosecutions against election officials who issue ballots of people ineligible to vote.

But at the center of these lawsuits is the Postal Service's final rule that establishes design requirements for mail ballot envelopes, including trackable barcodes, and requires state election officials to submit to an online portal lists of intended mail-ballot recipients. The Postal Service will then compile that information into state-specific "Mail-In and Absentee Participation Lists."

The agency said in the rule that it "will not play any role in determining voter eligibility, maintaining voter rolls, or counting ballots."

Monday's Supreme Court ruling involved an earlier lawsuit filed by 23 Democratic-led states that sought to block Mr. Trump's executive order. While the high court sided with the Trump administration, its decision was procedural, and the high court did not rule on the merits of the mail-in ballot restrictions that Mr. Trump is seeking to impose. Instead, the Supreme Court's conservative majority said the states had brought their lawsuit too early.

The Postal Service rolled out its new requirements with the November midterms quickly approaching, leaving states with little time to implement them. North Carolina will begin sending mail ballots to military and overseas voters Sept. 4, and several other states will start making them available in mid-September.

The states had warned in their lawsuit that as a result of the measure,  election officials had to "accomplish multiple Herculean tasks, each necessary to address the disruption caused by the Rule, in a matter of weeks, with limited resources."

If not blocked, "the Rule will frustrate or outright prevent Plaintiff States from administering their mail voting programs in November and foreseeably disenfranchise voters who vote by mail. Indeed, this seems to be what the President prefers," state officials said.

But Justice Department lawyers told the court that the rule makes only "modest informational requirements on" states and localities sending federal mail ballots and argued states retain control over the administration of their elections.

"The Rule does not displace a single State election law. And it need not and should not prevent a single voter from voting by mail," they said.

The Justice Department warned that if the rule were temporarily blocked, and then allowed to take effect before the November midterms, the states and the Postal Service would be even more rushed to implement it.

"[T]his is ultimately a regulation of the U.S. mail, and a modest one at that — not a federal takeover of election administration by the Postal Service," government lawyers wrote.

Local reports cited the National Emergency Operation Center as saying Thursday that the missing included 113 Nepali tourists, 85 security personnel from the army and police, and 161 residents, as authorities ramped up operations in the worst-affected districts of Nuwakot and Rasuwa.   

Chinese state broadcaster CCTV separately reported that 558 people were missing in Tibet — 260 of them foreigners — and two villagers were rescued. At least three people were reported killed as of Thursday morning, it said.

Talking to reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday, President Trump said U.S. officials have spoken with Nepalese leaders and offered to provide "anything they want."

Mr. Trump said there were 50 or 60 Americans in the area but added that a full accounting hasn't been completed.

65 Americans missing, Nepal Tourism Board says

Hikmat Singh Ayer, CEO and senior director of the Nepal Tourism Board, told CBS News' Arshad R. Zargar on Thursday that at least 65 Americans were among the missing foreign nationals in the small Himalayan nation, almost doubling the number of U.S. nationals reported missing the previous day.

In a subsequent update, the tourism board said 27 foreign nationals had been rescued from the flood zone in the Rasuwa district, including two U.S. nationals identified as a man and woman in their 50s.  

A U.S. State Department spokesperson told CBS News on Thursday that the agency was aware of about 90 Americans who may be impacted by the floods, and it was continuing to closely track the situation. The department said Thursday that three U.S. citizens had been safely rescued, and the spokesperson said the agency was not yet aware of any U.S. deaths.

The State Department says any Americans who need assistance should call +1-202-501-4444, and family and friends who are concerned about loved ones can call the department toll-free at +1-888-407-4747.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed U.S. solidarity Wednesday with the Nepali people, saying in a social media post that the department "stands ready to support the government of Nepal with needed humanitarian assistance."

In a series of social media posts, the U.S. Embassy in Nepal expressed "heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives in the devastating floods" and said it was "working to account for U.S. citizens who may have been affected." 

The embassy urged U.S. nationals in the region who were able to contact their families, hotels, guides or trekking or tour companies as soon as possible however they could, but it noted that communications were still severely disrupted.

The U.S. State Department said it was closely monitoring the situation and sending an adviser to the region to help with response efforts, as well as a $500,000 grant to Catholic Relief Services.

Leslie Crespi, a community liaison for the Isha Foundation, a volunteer-run group that promotes well-being founded by Indian spiritual leader Sadhguru Vasudev, told CBS News in an interview that about 80 people who were taking part in its pilgrimage in the region were missing.

"At this point we are awaiting word," Crespi said in a phone interview from McMinnville, Tennessee, of the missing pilgrims. "We have done as much outreach as we can through the State Department, through the embassy."

The 80 people are from 19 countries, Crespi said, including 22 from the U.S. Crespi said about 1,000 people in total were taking part in the pilgrimage. The 22 missing Americans were all adults, and included 13 women and nine men, the foundation later said in data it provided to CBS News.

She said the Isha Foundation has done pilgrimages for 21 years.

"In those 21 years, we have never lost a life," Crespi said. "And so we are shocked by it." 

U.S. citizen Deepak Dandu said his wife, Sridevi Vejella, is among those missing in Nepal. She had just finished a pilgrimage with the Isha Foundation to Mount Kailash in Tibet — a sacred site for Hindus, Buddhists and others — which he said was a "lifelong dream" for her, and was crossing from China into Nepal when the flood hit, he told CBS News. He said the foundation told him that she was part of a group that were present at the Gyirong Port immigration complex.

Dandu was getting ready to board a flight to Hyderabad, India, where his son is. 

"He is going through a lot, hearing all the news," Dandu said of his son. "I think he is really upset. I'm trying to go there and be with him."

One of the missing was 45-year-old Venus Rajnikant Patel, an Indian-born U.S. citizen who recently moved from St. Louis to Cincinnati to help his family. He was on a guided tour to Mount Kailash. 

Patel's brother, Dennis, said Venus called him and their parents a few hours before the floods, showing them his hotel room on the Nepalese side of the border and talking about how excited he was to cross into Tibet. He had been planning the pilgrimage for two years, his brother said.

Patel's friend Jolene Gosha said she and her friends knew Patel was in Nepal and were devastated when they realized his hotel was right along the border where the floods swept through.

"We're just hoping, hoping that by some chance he was able to climb his way out of it," Gosha said. "I don't want to give myself false hope because I know the reality is that he's probably not with us."

Search and rescue efforts intensify

Flash floods decimated villages, slamming into houses, roads, bridges and power plants. Videos broadcast by regional news outlets and posted on social media show violent torrents of water surging through valleys and mountain passes, tearing down bridges and dams and sweeping away buildings.  

Drone footage in Nepal on Wednesday showed roads destroyed and buildings buried by thundering water the color of wet cement.

The region's steep valleys are economic lifelines and travel corridors but are precarious when disaster strikes. Images showed what appeared to be the second floors of buildings in Nepal's hard-hit Nuwakot district slathered in mud after the torrent rushed by. Debris hung from tree branches and wires, vehicles were buried and some stunned survivors were caked in mud. The floods halted travel in some areas.

There was little time for anyone to flee.

"When I reached Dhunge bazaar, in half an hour, the flood came and damaged all the market. People were preparing to go to office then," resident Shoyam Rajbhandari said. "How many people are missing or dead, we don't know."

Army and private helicopters have been deployed. The Nepalese army rescued more than 100 people from flood-affected areas through helicopter operations on Thursday, army spokesperson Brig. Gen. Raja Ram Basnet said.

At least eight foreign nationals were airlifted to Kathmandu, he said, adding that army teams also evacuated people trapped inside facilities linked to the Trishuli hydropower project.

Rescuers found bodies about 62 miles downstream from the disaster zone in Chitwan district. Dozens of injured people have been transported to the country's capital, Kathmandu, for advanced medical care.

In Tibet, a mudslide that struck near the land border crossing of Gyirong Port on Wednesday left mud in the surrounding areas more than 5 feet deep on average, with some road sections exceeding 6 feet, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported Thursday. Roads leading to the port were all damaged, while communication was cut off, it said. With light rain continuing in the area, secondary collapses or landslides may occur, it added.

CCTV said a barrier lake has also been discovered in the direction of the port, posing challenges to the rescue operation. Chinese authorities deployed a large military transport aircraft to send a team to the region, it said.

Officials in Nepal had earlier said hundreds of foreigners were reported missing, including Indian nationals on pilgrimage to Mount Kailash.

Buddhist spiritual leader the Dalai Lama said Thursday that he was praying for all those killed in devastating floods in Nepal and Tibet, French news agency AFP reported. "I pray for all those who have lost their lives, and offer my sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the bereaved and to all those affected by this tragedy," he said in a statement.

Glacier collapse, not earthquake, seen as catastrophe's cause

The U.S. Geological Survey first reported a magnitude 4.4 earthquake early Wednesday, about 41 miles north of Kathmandu, near the border. The USGS later updated its analysis to say the seismic event it measured was a magnitude 5.2 glacial collapse that sent debris flowing downstream with catastrophic impact on communities. It said its determination was based on data from nearby seismic stations, long-period seismic waves and satellite imagery, and that no earthquake had occurred.

Climate experts at the Kathmandu-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development said an avalanche from a glacier likely caused Wednesday's flash flood.

"Hydrological observations indicate the exceptional speed and magnitude of the flood wave," they said in an emailed statement, noting that water levels at one point on the Trishuli River rose by as much as 27 feet over half an hour.

The Lhende Khola River, a tributary of the Bhotekoshi, had maximum flooding, they said.

Climate change's threat to region increasing

"The Lhende Khola has flooded twice in 14 months, this time triggered by an ice rock avalanche from a glacier on the Nepal side that blocked the river and released a sudden surge downstream," said Saswata Sanyal, a disaster risk reduction specialist at the climate research group.

He noted the importance of early warnings in "a warming Himalaya."

The disaster in Nepal and Tibet is not a one-off. The Lhende Khola River system has now flooded twice in just 14 months, and the increasingly unstable Himalayan ice system threatens communities, infrastructure and water supplies across one of the world's most densely populated regions.

It saw similar flash floods in August last year, when a glacial lake in Tibet overflowed because of high temperatures. Nine people were killed, and critical infrastructure, including a bridge connecting Nepal and China, was damaged. 

The Himalayan mountain range spans several countries in South Asia and has many of the world's highest peaks and remaining glaciers.

The steep slopes and the lush valleys below the Himalayan mountain range are especially vulnerable to flooding and landslides, and extreme weather events like intense monsoons and melting glaciers have become more common because of warming due to human-caused climate change.

Researchers in Kathmandu found earlier this year that glaciers across the Hindu Kush Himalaya region are melting faster, with ice loss rates doubling since 2000.

The threat from melting glaciers has become a global concern.

David Lugo earned a modest living as a mechanic throughout his life, supporting his mother and disabled sister, but three years ago, the 60-year-old's kidneys failed.

His health kept deteriorating, and after losing his income from being a caretaker for his disabled sister, he found himself homeless for the first time in his life.

"I never thought I'd be homeless like that, not in a million years," Lugo said.

After sleeping on a bus bench and a few trips to the hospital, Lugo landed at Holliday's Helping Hands, or HHH, a network of interim housing facilities started by nurse practitioner Katina Holliday. "All the sites are full to capacity," Holliday said.

The 2026 LA County homeless count revealed a nearly 14% increase in the number of adults over 55 compared to last year.

That's a quarter of the 73,000 total homeless population. Holliday says it's often caused by the death of a spouse, health crisis, fixed incomes and inflation.

"Our senior population they get $1,100 a month. You can't afford $3,000 with $1,100. The math ain't mathing," she said.

Lugo is now staying at HHH recuperative care, a 100-bed interim housing program with on-duty medical staff. Nearly all the beds are occupied by older clients, many of whom worked all of their lives.

"They're right. I don't belong here, but I'm here for a reason," Lugo said.

A University of Pennsylvania study estimates the number of homeless seniors in the U.S. will triple by 2030.

Holliday is brainstorming ways to hopefully reverse the trend. At the Downey facility, there are peer groups, therapies, workshops and they are developing a unique pathway to housing specifically for seniors.

"We really need to get creative on our housing model for them. They don't necessarily need to be in a nursing home environment or assisted living," Holliday said.

"Maybe shared living is a way for them where they cannot have to pay as much, it creates a community and I think it'll increase their lives."

In the meantime, Lugo hopes to improve his health, practice his faith and one day, return to his modest life. "See if I can get ahead and buy that home that I want," he said.

It's an unintended consequence of the prohibition implemented on Newport Mesa Unified School District campuses. The kids who still ride have resorted to parking their e-bikes on the street, frustrating some residents. One neighbor shared cell phone video of more than a dozen e-bikes parking in front her home. 

"The bikes have been parking in clumps of up to 20 bikes at a time," resident Janet Montgomery said. "They impact the ability to garden, to move your cars. In the beginning, they were blocking your walkways so you couldn't get in and out of your house."

Students' parents said homeowners have harassed some of the kids. Alex Williamson's son has been riding his e-bike and legally parking in the neighborhood.

"I think the kids are not safe as if they were parking on campus," Williamson said. "This was passed as a safety measure, and now they're being forced to park off campus. That forces them to interact with unknown adults that are outside the jurisdiction of the school. I don't like that. Their bikes are very vulnerable to theft out there."

Parent Tim Middleton said someone left a note on his son's e-bike saying the bikes will be impounded if they're parked in the same spot again.

"I've encouraged my son to continue to park responsibly," Middleton said. "Don't park in red areas. Keep the bikes tidy, close to the curb. Be respectful to the neighbors."

Two girls said their e-bike tires were deflated. Another student parked in the bike rack at nearby John Wayne Park and found a notice from Newport Beach Public Works stating that his e-bike will be confiscated if it's not removed within 24 hours.

Councilman Erik Weigand, whose wife is on the school board, supports the e-bike ban but said adjustments need to be made.

"I already have staff researching what can be done to find some middle ground," he said. "If we go so far to the extreme, then we may be hurting the residents. There could be some implementation for a one-hour parking zone or a two-hour parking zone but that could have ramnifications to the residents."

Dubbed the G.L.O.V.E., or Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter, the device operates as a conventional patrol glove until an officer activates its "electrical mode." Once activated, the device must make direct contact with a person's skin to deliver a painful shock designed to force compliance.

In contract paperwork released on a federal database Thursday, ICE describes the gloves as "conductive distraction and de-escalation devices," and says the new technology will offer personnel a lower-impact option during arrests, detainee transports and disturbances surrounding detention facilities. According to the agency's procurement rationale, the gloves may be used when a person is "actively or passively resisting" and an officer needs to gain control quickly.

Federal records show ICE signed the contract Wednesday with a Kentucky-based company known as Compliant Technologies LLC, but formally posted the award Thursday. The six-month deal includes the gloves, support equipment and services. The gloves themselves cost $2,495 apiece.

The agency argues the devices reduce agency reliance on physical force and, in more dangerous encounters, grant officers an alternative to resorting to a firearm.

"ICE does not currently have an empty hand use of force device to provide to the field amidst unprecedented levels of threats and violence against ICE officers and agents to help ensure they can de-escalate tense situations before they turn violent," the agency wrote in procurement documents.

ICE said the gloves would be deployed under approved policies, training requirements and accountability standards, though procurement documents do not account for those safeguards in detail.

Compliant Technologies' instruction manual says users of the gloves should "always give the subject(s) a reasonable opportunity to comply before force is used." It suggests using them for up to 15 seconds, unless the subject becomes more violent or endangers people. The company also states that the devices should not be used to punish people, and shouldn't be used on the elderly, pregnant women, small children or "the severely handicapped."

ICE first announced the planned purchase earlier this month. The plan has drawn opposition from congressional Democrats and civil rights advocates who question how the gloves will be used and whether ICE has adequate safeguards in place to prevent abuse.

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and 15 other Democratic senators urged ICE on Thursday to abandon the purchase, warning that a device capable of inflicting an electric shock during civil immigration arrests raises questions about proportionality, medical safety, constitutional rights and oversight. 

"A device capable of delivering an electrical shock through direct contact with an individual presents substantial risks if deployed during civil arrests," the senators wrote, adding that the risks would be heightened without clear limits, adequate training and comprehensive oversight. Lawmakers demanded that ICE disclose its rules for authorized uses, safeguards and procedures for reviewing deployments moving forward. 

The Department of Homeland Security has defended the purchase, accusing critics of trying to deny federal law enforcement officers safety equipment. In a statement to CBS News, a DHS spokesperson called the pushback from Democrats "despicable and a deliberate attempt to undermine and endanger our officers."

"ICE is constantly assessing the needs of our officers in the field to ensure they have the tools and equipment necessary to safely arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens from our country. Every decision is made with careful consideration and appropriately reviewed to ensure that any technology ICE utilizes is consistent with all applicable law enforcement policies and standards," the spokesperson said, adding that personnel are "highly trained in de-escalation tactics." 

CBS News has reached out to Compliant Technologies for comment.

The contract marks a meaningful expansion for the glove technology that up until this point has been used primarily by local police departments and jails. Critics argue the new tactic could make it easier for immigration officers to inflict pain during routine law enforcement encounters, with use of force even less visible to the public.

ICE has drawn scrutiny in recent months for its use-of-force practices, including attempted vehicle stops in Maine and Texas last month that ended with ICE agents fatally shooting two people.

Jurors are scheduled to return Monday for closing arguments before beginning deliberations in the only prosecution brought in the killing of the hip-hop icon. The presentation of evidence ended after nine days of testimony.

Davis, 63, did not take the stand.

Shakur was riding in a BMW on Sept. 7, 1996, when a white Cadillac pulled up next to it at a red light near the Las Vegas Strip and gunfire erupted. Shakur was shot multiple times and died six days later. The driver of the BMW, Marion "Suge" Knight, survived.

Years later, Davis would say he procured the gun and his nephew, who has since died, fired the shots. Prosecutors say Davis orchestrated the killing, and he faces life in prison if convicted of murder with a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang. He has pleaded not guilty.

Defense attorney Michael Sanft has argued that Davis fabricated or embellished his accounts of the killing for money and notoriety and that investigators failed to independently corroborate his claims.

Retired Las Vegas homicide detective Dan Long, the defense's final witness, testified that he tried unsuccessfully to verify several details Davis provided during a 2009 police interview.

Davis told Long that his nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, had gone to a Las Vegas hospital after being beaten by Shakur and others in a casino brawl hours before the rapper was fatally shot. Long said he was unable to find hospital records confirming Anderson was treated there.

Long also tried unsuccessfully to locate records for a white Cadillac that Davis said had been rented before the shooting.

Asked by a juror whether he had been able to verify that Davis was actually in the Cadillac the night Shakur was killed, Long said Davis himself told him he was in the car and that the shooting came from it.

On follow-up questioning by Sanft, Long acknowledged he had no independent facts outside of what Davis told him confirming he was in the Cadillac.

Prosecutors countered that Davis' account matched information already developed by investigators. On cross-examination, Long testified that Davis identified the same four men investigators already believed were in the Cadillac when Shakur was shot.

Long also said he returned to Las Vegas after interviewing Davis in 2009 intending to seek an arrest warrant for murder because he believed there was probable cause, but prosecutors at the time told him to stand down while they reviewed the matter.

The defense also called two former Las Vegas police officers who were assigned to keep the peace at Knight's home on the night of the shooting. They testified about vehicles entering and leaving the gated residence, including a cream- or white-colored Cadillac.

The case remained unsolved for decades before Davis' public interviews and 2019 memoir helped revive scrutiny of the killing.

Prosecutors rested Wednesday after calling 24 witnesses. They contend Davis orchestrated Shakur's killing in retaliation for the casino fight involving Anderson, and their case relied heavily on Davis' own accounts over the years, including interviews, his memoir and recorded jail calls.

"We're going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario, effective immediately, to Lake America," the president said before he signed the order.   

On Truth Social, the president said this week that the U.S. was giving "serious consideration" to changing the name and posted a map that crossed out the label "Lake Ontario." He also said the U.S. doesn't expect to be "doing much business with Ontario any longer." The announcement in the Oval Office Thursday is the president's latest move amid his trade war with Canada. 

The order directs Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to update the Geographic Names Information System to reflect the name change. The GNIS works with the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to standardize geographic names for federal use. The president can't force other countries or international bodies to call it "Lake America," but he can require the federal government to do so.

Mr. Trump later posted to Truth Social a letter from the director of the U.S. Geological Survey announcing that the change had been made and "will begin occurring in printed documents over the next several days."

The president was asked what message he's sending to Canada with this executive order. 

"No message," he said, but added, "As you know, Canada has been ripping us off for a long time on trade, very, very sadly. Even the military. You know, we defend Canada for nothing." 

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Lake Ontario is much older than the Declaration of Independence, and "naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario."

"The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word 'Ontari'io,' which, appropriately, means, 'the lake is beautiful, the lake is big,'" Carney said. "The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always."

In New York, the only U.S. state that borders the lake, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul said, "New York won't be calling it that."

On Saturday, 50% tariffs on some Canadian imports like wine and dairy kicked in, and on Monday, the president announced 50% tariffs on all Canadian steel and automotive imports starting in January. 

In response, Carney announced that starting Sept. 8, Canada will begin imposing matching tariffs of up to 50% on billions of dollars of U.S. goods. 

Mr. Trump also sought to change North America's highest mountain peak, Denali in Alaska, back to Mount McKinley. Although the federal government can't force other countries or private businesses to recognize the GNIS, when Mr. Trump sought to change the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America," some private entities adopted the new name. 

Still, the White House punished The Associated Press after it declined to use "Gulf of America," restricting its reporters' access to White House and presidential spaces available to other news outlets. 

On Thursday, Mr. Trump threatened to rename an ocean, too. 

"Now all we need is an ocean," he said. "So maybe we'll have to change the name of the Atlantic and — or — the Pacific."

The Rams announced the surprising deal Thursday before their final preseason game against the Chargers.

Los Angeles drafted Atwell in the second round in 2021, and he spent his first five NFL seasons with the Rams, even receiving a Super Bowl ring as an injured rookie. Atwell's big-play speed and ball skills were obvious when he was healthy and in the good graces of coach Sean McVay, and he had 81 catches for 1,045 yards in the 2023 and 2024 seasons combined.

Atwell frequently struggled to get regular playing time for McVay, partly because of his small size and perceived blocking deficiencies — yet the Rams shockingly re-signed Atwell before last season with a lavish $10 million deal.

He then played in just 10 games because of injuries. Even when he was healthy, McVay rarely let Atwell on the field, playing him on just 16.5% of the Rams' offensive snaps.

Atwell had only six receptions last season, but one of them was the NFL's longest catch of the season — a go-ahead, 88-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford in a comeback victory over the Colts.

Atwell signed with his hometown Dolphins last spring on a $1.4 million, one-year deal. Atwell briefly looked like a potential No. 1 receiver for rebuilding Miami and quarterback Malik Willis in training camp.

But no clear-cut No. 3 receiver emerged for the Rams behind All-Pro Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in training camp, and Atwell burned no bridges in Los Angeles by remaining a professional team player even when he couldn't get playing time. The Rams also realize they could be thin at receiver for an indeterminate period early this season if Nacua is suspended by the NFL for his offseason of misdeeds.

Los Angeles reacquired Atwell by shipping out Hunter, another promising prospect who never got playing time under McVay.

The Rams chose Hunter out of Auburn in the fourth round in 2025, but he didn't get a regular-season carry as a rookie while sitting behind Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and special teams contributor Ronnie Rivers. Hunter got playing time during the current preseason, but apparently didn't impress enough to threaten Rivers' status on the roster with the Rams' renewed emphasis on strong special teams.

Sasaki said the blister came on suddenly in the fourth inning. He exited the game after 3.1 innings pitched, having allowed four runs on six hits and two walks.

"When I was facing the first hitter in the fourth inning, I actually didn't feel anything coming beforehand," Sasaki said after the game through an interpreter. "My skin just ripped off, and then after that, it started getting worse."

Sasaki started the fourth by walking Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies, who made it home on a sacrifice fly from Austin Riley. Mike Yastrzemski and Sean Murphy each had hits before Sasaki's injury was assessed by an athletic trainer on the mound.

Edgardo Henriquez finished the fourth inning for the Dodgers.

Sasaki said after the game that he would talk to the trainer and pitching coach about whether it would impact his next start. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts ended all speculation, saying a stint on the injured list was unavoidable given the severity of the blister.

The second-year pitcher, who was in his best stretch in the majors, said he had experienced similar injuries in Japan, but typically there were warning signs.

"At the time, I felt something coming beforehand. This time it's kind of a different case," he said. "I thought I was able to manage at first because the skin was still there, but after that skin was getting worse, I think it affected my slider."

Roberts said left-hander Eric Lauer will return to the rotation as a result, though he wasn't yet sure when he would start. He also said the Dodgers will bring in a relief pitcher.
