00:02:44.320 president trump abruptly canceling plans yesterday to sign a bipartisan housing legislation package

00:02:52.160 passed by congress instead demanding lawmakers first deliver the election overhaul he has made

00:02:57.600 a centerpiece of his second term agenda the president announcing just 90 minutes before

00:03:02.660 the scheduled ceremony that the event was off writing on truth social quote today's housing

00:03:07.680 news conference and signing is hereby canceled until such time as we pass the desperately needed

00:03:13.580 Save America Act, which I consider to be a national emergency. The delayed legislation,

00:03:19.780 known as the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, designed to address the nation's housing shortage

00:03:24.960 by clearing regulatory barriers, accelerating construction, and limiting the number of

00:03:29.940 existing single-family homes large institutional investors can acquire. U.S. Senator from

00:03:35.260 Massachusetts, Democrat Elizabeth Warren, a co-author of the legislation, blasting President

00:03:40.100 Trump yesterday following the cancellation of the ceremony. We should be here today to celebrate

00:03:45.760 because we should have a housing bill that is now law. This may be a battle, but I guarantee

00:03:52.740 we will get this bill passed. We will get it passed while the Republicans are still in control

00:03:59.500 or damn it, the Democrats will take over and we will get it passed with the Democrats in control. 0.88

00:04:05.860 The president has not said he will veto the housing bill. 0.99

00:04:09.300 House Speaker Mike Johnson telling reporters after speaking with Mr. Trump that he still

00:04:13.000 expects the president to sign it within the constitutionally permitted 10-day window.

00:04:17.800 Absent a signature or veto, the measure would become law automatically once that period

00:04:22.940 expires, provided Congress remains in session.

00:04:25.840 The sudden cancellation marks the latest and most dramatic step in the president's campaign

00:04:30.440 to force the Save America Act through a resistant Senate.

00:04:33.820 The bill would require Americans registering to vote in federal elections to present documentary proof of citizenship.

00:04:40.780 The measure would also establish a nationwide photo identification requirement for federal voting,

00:04:45.860 impose new identification rules on mail-in ballots,

00:04:48.720 and direct states to take additional steps to locate and remove ineligible voters from their registration lists.

00:04:55.340 Democrats remain firmly opposed, arguing the requirements would create new barriers for eligible voters.

00:05:01.160 A recent attempt to advance the Save America Act as an amendment failing 48-50, with Republicans

00:05:07.600 Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Tom

00:05:13.180 Tillis of North Carolina joining Democrats in opposition, leaving the legislation short

00:05:18.460 of even full Republican support and far below the 60 votes normally required to advance.

00:05:23.920 The president nevertheless pressing Senate Republicans to find a way to pass it, bringing

00:05:28.780 that pressure campaign directly to Capitol Hill yesterday during a lunch with GOP senators.

00:05:34.440 CNN reporting lawmakers discussed several possible paths, including breaking the legislation into

00:05:39.700 smaller pieces or using budget reconciliation, a special process allowing qualifying legislation

00:05:44.960 to bypass the Senate's usual 60-vote threshold as long as it meets strict budgetary requirements.

00:05:51.840 The lunch reportedly growing tense at times, with the president also confronting several

00:05:56.260 Republican senators over recent votes against his agenda, though Mr. Trump offering a far more

00:06:01.460 upbeat assessment as he left the Capitol. I think we had a really great meeting and we're very proud

00:06:07.440 of the party. We like our leader. We like everybody really in the room. I don't like a few

00:06:13.100 people, but that's OK. I think you know who they are. But we I'll give you I'll give you that

00:06:17.840 information someday. But for the most part, we have a really well unified party. On the House

00:06:23.540 side, Speaker Johnson yesterday outlining how Republicans might give the Save America Act the

00:06:28.000 budgetary connection needed to qualify for reconciliation. We believe that if you create

00:06:32.840 a grant program that ties it to reconciling the budget and you allow blue states, if they come to

00:06:38.580 their senses and they want to avail themselves of election integrity proposals and ideas and

00:06:43.640 policies, they can draw down from a federal fund and and use those those funds. We're willing to

00:06:48.940 we're willing to invest heavily in that. And House Republicans will put together a reconciliation

00:06:53.400 bill, Reconciliation 3.0, that will have that. I talked the president through that in detail this

00:06:57.600 morning, as I have in the past, and he said, can we do it? I said, we can. If the Republicans will

00:07:03.060 stand together. Speaker Johnson set to meet with the president on this topic later today.

00:07:09.540 Eight members of what prosecutors identified as a North Texas Antifa cell receiving a combined

00:07:15.300 450 years in federal prison Tuesday for an armed ambush at an ICE detention facility that left a

00:07:22.180 local police officer shot in the neck. The sentences following the defendant's convictions

00:07:26.920 in March on charges involving rioting, explosives, material support for terrorism, obstruction, and

00:07:32.940 in one case, attempted murder. The attack unfolding late on July 4th of last year at the Prairieland

00:07:38.520 Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, near Dallas. According to testimony, roughly a dozen people

00:07:43.780 dressed in black military-style clothing arrived carrying firearms, body armor, and medical kits

00:07:49.040 equipped to treat gunshot wounds. Members of the group setting off fireworks and vandalizing the

00:07:54.440 facility, attempting to lure officers outside, according to prosecutors. When Alvarado Police

00:08:00.460 Lieutenant Thomas Gross arrived and began issuing commands, Antifa operative Benjamin Song could be

00:08:07.080 heard on police body camera footage yelling, quote, get to the rifles. Song then opening fire,

00:08:12.780 striking Gross in the neck as two unarmed detention officers ran for cover.

00:08:18.160 Gross has since made a full recovery.

00:08:20.920 Song escaping the scene and remaining on the run for 11 days before his capture.

00:08:25.860 A federal jury ultimately convicting nine defendants following a 12-day trial

00:08:30.340 featuring 46 witnesses and more than 210 exhibits.

00:08:34.760 The Justice Department calling these the first sentencings of defendants affiliated with Antifa

00:08:40.280 since President Trump designated it a domestic terrorist organization last fall.

00:08:44.880 The AP describing Antifa as, quote,

00:08:46.840 not a single organization, but rather an umbrella term for far-left militant groups

00:08:51.980 that confront or resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists at demonstrations.

00:08:57.420 That broad characterization, however, does not capture the level of organization

00:09:01.320 prosecutors documented within this particular North Texas cell.

00:09:05.360 Trial evidence showing the group had an identified leader,

00:09:08.100 recruited members, provided firearms and combat training, and held a gear check the night before

00:09:13.000 the attack. Participants also conducting reconnaissance at the facility, concealing

00:09:17.860 their identities, and disabling or shielding their phones to prevent tracking. The group

00:09:22.640 arriving with 11 firearms, body armor, and 11 military-grade medical kits equipped to treat

00:09:28.320 gunshot wounds. Chief U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor calling their actions, quote,

00:09:33.180 an assault on democracy. Song, who was convicted of attempted murder, discharging a firearm during

00:09:39.000 a violent crime, rioting, providing material support to terrorists, and carrying explosives

00:09:43.620 during the attack, receiving the longest sentence at 100 years. One defendant receiving 70 years,

00:09:50.000 five receiving 50 years each, and another receiving 30 years. A ninth defendant convicted alongside

00:09:55.580 the group is scheduled to be sentenced July 1st, along with seven others who pleaded guilty before

00:10:00.180 the trial to providing material support to terrorists. Each faces up to 15 years in prison.

00:10:06.500 SOG's attorney, Philip Hayes, speaking to the Associated Press after the sentencing.

00:10:10.500 Our issue with this case has always been, this isn't a bunch of terrorists. This is a bunch of

00:10:15.720 kids and young adults who really have a really big heart and really wanted their voice to be heard.

00:10:23.540 It was never intended anybody to get hurt. It was never intended that any shots would be fired.

00:10:28.320 They really just wanted their voice to be heard and to make the people who they felt were unjustly in prison, make them feel bad, make them know that they've got people out there.

00:10:37.880 Hayes says his client will appeal the sentence.

00:10:40.660 Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche releasing a statement, quote,

00:10:43.520 The sentences handed down today will make clear that Antifa terrorists who attack law enforcement and federal facilities will face swift and uncompromising justice.

00:12:26.360 Camp Mystic filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection yesterday,

00:12:30.340 almost one year after the devastating flooding that killed 25 campers,

00:12:34.380 two teenage counselors, and the camp's owner and director, Richard Dick Eastland. The case

00:12:40.120 filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Texas after months of investigations

00:12:44.900 and multiple wrongful death lawsuits accusing the camp of failing to protect campers and counselors.

00:12:51.320 Chapter 11 allows a business to keep operating while it works out how to pay what it owes under

00:12:55.780 the supervision of a bankruptcy judge. Per court records, Camp Mystic's managers authorizing the

00:13:01.220 company to pursue either a financial reorganization or the sale of its assets if the business cannot

00:13:07.460 continue. The filing covers Camp Mystic and several related companies, reporting between

00:13:12.880 $10 million to $50 million in debt and between $1 million and $10 million in estimated assets.

00:13:20.480 The document's providing little additional detail about the camp's finances. Camp Mystic is currently

00:13:25.660 facing five wrongful death lawsuits brought by families of children and counselors who died in

00:13:30.820 the July 4th flood. The cases each seek more than $1 million in damages, accusing the Eastland

00:13:37.020 family, which has owned and operated the camp for generations, of ignoring known flood dangers and

00:13:42.600 failing to move campers out of the lowest areas before the Guadalupe River overwhelmed the

00:13:47.260 property. Investigators finding Camp Mystic had no written plan for evacuating during a flood.

00:13:53.600 Counselors had received little emergency training, and camp leadership had become complacent about a

00:13:58.680 danger the property had faced for decades. Previous hearings detailing warnings that went

00:14:03.500 unnoticed or unanswered, and the decision to leave girls inside their cabins until rising water made

00:14:08.720 a safe evacuation nearly impossible. In March, a Travis County judge ordering Camp Mystic not to

00:14:15.380 demolish, repair, or rebuild the flood-damaged cabins and several other areas along the Guadalupe

00:14:20.740 River. The ruling requiring the camp to preserve those locations as potential evidence while the

00:14:26.480 family's lawsuits move forward. That order did not prevent Camp Mystic from reopening another

00:14:31.700 part of its property that escaped the worst of the flooding. The Eastland family was preparing

00:14:36.740 to welcome nearly 900 campers back this summer. However, that plan provoking outrage from victims'

00:14:42.860 families. Lawmakers also questioning whether the camp could safely reopen as legislative,

00:14:47.960 state, health, and law enforcement investigations remained underway. Camp Mystic ultimately deciding

00:14:53.640 in April to abandon plans to reopen. Now, the bankruptcy filing could dramatically change how

00:14:59.220 the family's legal cases proceed. Sarah Foss, the global head of legal and restructuring at

00:15:04.480 DebtWire, telling NBC News the lawsuits are now temporarily paused. Foss explaining, quote,

00:15:10.080 whether those lawsuits ultimately proceed in the bankruptcy court or the courts where they are

00:15:13.920 pending, victims' families will be treated as creditors who must seek compensation from a

00:15:19.420 limited pool of money in the bankruptcy case, rather than through individual jury verdicts.

00:15:24.780 Attorneys for the families making clear they intend to keep fighting. Paul Yetter, who represents

00:15:29.940 seven families suing over their daughter's deaths, telling the Austin American statesman, quote,

00:15:34.720 bankruptcy will not stop all responsible parties from being held accountable. These innocent girls

00:15:40.080 deserve justice. Mark Lanier, representing six families, telling the outlet his firm anticipated

00:15:45.380 the filing and is now reviewing whether it can ask the bankruptcy court to allow the lawsuits

00:15:50.020 to continue. Lanier accusing Camp Mystic's owners of trying to avoid scrutiny, adding,

00:15:54.780 we're fighting them every step of the way. A magnitude 5.6 earthquake rattling Northern

00:16:02.620 California yesterday morning, striking Mendocino County about 115 miles northwest of San Francisco.

00:16:09.160 The U.S. Geological Survey placing the epicenter roughly seven miles north of Redwood Valley.

00:16:14.240 The shaking beginning at 8.10 a.m. Pacific time, about 5 miles beneath the surface.

00:16:19.920 A magnitude 2.5 aftershock following roughly 7 minutes later,

00:16:24.240 with several additional smaller earthquakes subsequently recorded in the same area.

00:16:29.000 Residents reporting feeling the initial jolt across a wide stretch of northern California,

00:16:34.120 from Eureka, roughly 115 miles north of the epicenter, to Sacramento, about 110 miles southeast.

00:16:41.360 The earthquake triggering smartphone warnings for nearly 657,000 people across the region.

00:16:47.840 Ukiah resident Daniel Alonzo describing the moment the shaking reached his home to KTVU

00:16:52.960 Fox 2 San Francisco.

00:16:54.980 All of a sudden, everything just shook.

00:16:57.540 The curtains, the bed, the refrigerator, everything just shook.

00:17:01.420 And it was very severe, almost where I got very dizzy.

00:17:05.380 And it was very scary.

00:17:07.080 almost sound like a freight train was running right through our house.

00:17:12.260 So, yeah, it was very, it was very like a scary incident.

00:17:16.200 And then we had a little aftershock about maybe about a minute later after that.

00:17:21.360 The earthquake knocking out power to more than 7,400 homes and businesses across Mendocino County.

00:17:28.220 Yesterday's earthquake ranking among the strongest recorded in that region since 1900,

00:17:32.920 according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

00:17:34.540 The only larger Quake on record was a magnitude 5.9 near Leggett in Mendocino County in 1931.

00:17:43.800 That'll do it for your AM update. I'm Emily Droschinski, host of After Party.
