Good evening. Here’s the latest.
1. The head of Customs and Border Protection said that his agency had stopped handing over migrants with children to the Justice Department, until the two agencies can agree on a policy that would allow prosecutions without family separations.
And because there aren’t enough detention facilities for the arriving families, many of them will be quickly released, with a promise to return for a court date at some point in the future. That effectively revives the “catch and release” approach.
In the border town of Nogales, Mexico, our reporter found that migrants have not been deterred by the changes in American policy. Above, mothers and children camped out near a border entry point, waiting to request asylum.

2. Meanwhile, President Trump set his sights on the Virginia restaurant that refused to serve his press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, on Friday.
Ms. Sanders said that she had been asked to leave the Red Hen, a restaurant in Lexington, Va., because of her role in the administration.
Mr. Trump’s criticism of the restaurant — calling it “dirty” and “filthy” — was notably more animated than his defense of Ms. Sanders. (He called her “a fine person.”)

3. Harley-Davidson said it would shift some production of its iconic motorcycles overseas.
It’s a bid to avoid retaliatory tariffs imposed by the European Union in response to President Trump’s trade moves, and it shows how the administration’s policies could have unintended consequences.
Stocks slipped on trade policy fears. And there’s another big topic on Wall Street: The bond market’s yield curve is perilously close to predicting a recession — something it has done before with surprising accuracy.

4. The Supreme Court ruled that American Express did not violate antitrust laws by insisting in its contracts with merchants that they do nothing to encourage patrons to use other cards, even though other cards charge the merchants less.
The court also sent two closely watched cases back to lower courts: that of a Washington State florist who refused service to a gay couple, and a challenge to gerrymandering in North Carolina.

5. Dozens of people were killed in a chemical attack in Douma, Syria, in April — but to this day, Syrian officials claim it was all staged.
The Times set out to investigate what happened. We analyzed more than 60 videos, as well as images broadcast by Russian TV. We also interviewed dozens of witnesses and experts to reconstruct a virtual crime scene, a single building that was hit by a chlorine bomb.
The evidence exposes Syrian and Russian lies. Our conclusion: the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, used a chlorine bomb to attack his own people. Watch our video investigation here.

6. Against a backdrop of widespread repression and a weakened economy, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey was re-elected on Sunday, and his alliance won a majority in Parliament.
Mr. Erdogan now officially commands vast authority over the legislature and the judiciary. Above, supporters outside his party’s headquarters in Istanbul.
The result signals a new era for Turkey, a pivotal country straddling Europe and the Middle East. Here are five key takeaways.

7. “Heroic snoring” is a real thing.
So loud you can hear it through a wall, it may signal a dangerous condition. That’s obstructive sleep apnea, in which the upper airway collapses, leading to shallow or stopped breathing.
Without treatment, sleep apnea can be deadly, and not just for those who have it. Drivers who suffer from sleep apnea are nearly five times more likely to be involved in a motor vehicle accident than other drivers.
Our recently diagnosed columnist says there’s no reason to meekly accept sleep apnea, given the number of treatment options.

8. The group stage of the World Cup is almost over: All 32 teams have completed their second of three games of group play.
We did the math to determine what the teams who remain in the tournament must do to advance to the next round.
Here’s our full coverage of the tournament. And our Offsides newsletter brings updates and analysis straight to your inbox, twice a week.

9. Our pop music critic spent three days with Kanye West in Wyoming, where he’s been working on his eighth LP, “Ye” (above, the listening party), and producing records for other artists.
Kanye says that he’s “learning how to not be on meds” after his diagnosis of bipolar disorder and discussed the firestorm over his comments on slavery to TMZ.
“My existence is selvage denim at this point, it’s a vintage Hermès bag,” Kanye said. “All the stains just make it better.”

10. Finally, come visit China’s “first yoga village.”
That would be Yugouliang, a remote hamlet in northern China. The local Communist Party chief has been encouraging the practice among residents — many of them elderly farmers — to increase health and vitality. (There’s also the possibility of tourist money.)
“Before this, training the body was playing cards,” said 62-year-old Zhang Xiying, above on the right.
Have a great night.
