The Trump administration plans to file at least 250 denaturalization cases by October, significantly intensifying its effort to revoke citizenship from people naturalized in the United States, according to a senior Justice Department official. In less than two months this year, the Justice Department has filed 29 denaturalization cases targeting foreign-born Americans whom it accuses of fraudulently obtaining US citizenship. Civil litigators are actively reviewing additional cases to file as the department picks up a pace that has already surpassed previous years: Between 2008 and June 12, 2026, 166 denaturalization complaints were filed, an annual average of less than 10, according to Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.

With the World Cup now in full swing, many doctors warn that the risks of extreme heat extend far beyond the action on the field – especially at certain venues, potentially affecting millions of fans and thousands of workers. Summer always brings the heat, but the places that pose the greatest risk might surprise you. In the United States, experts are keeping an eye on stadiums in three host cities: Miami, Kansas City and Philadelphia. Some US host cities with hotter climates – Atlanta, Houston and Dallas – have air-conditioned indoor stadiums, which may afford fans and workers some protection. But Miami, Kansas City and Philadelphia are home to open-air stadiums, which means they have the potential to expose fans to “very high heat” and “very high humidity,” said Dr. Fabian Arous, a sports medicine physician at Children’s Health Andrews Institute for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine with a FIFA diploma in football medicine.

Ukraine has launched the largest drone offensive on Moscow of the full-scale war, in an attack that damaged a key oil refinery, caused fires, and sent debris raining down across the region. Air defenses shot down at least 194 drones bound for the Russian capital overnight into Thursday, according to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. That’s far higher than other days of heavy attacks in recent months, when drones only numbered in the double digits, and provides a stark example of Kyiv’s dramatically improved drone capabilities since Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country began more than four years ago. The barrage, which left at least 17 people injured, was part of a larger Ukrainian attack over a broad swath of Russia, with air defenses intercepting almost 1,000 drones, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense – including over the Sea of Azov.

When Elena Vladimirovna woke up around 4 a.m. to the sound of loud buzzing over her Moscow region apartment, she looked out of the window to see multiple drones overhead. The noise quickly faded, and she thought the danger had passed. But then came a loud bang from close by. “Below us, under the balcony, there is a canopy like a ledge. The drone fell on this canopy, and then it burst into flames, black smoke started coming,” she recalled. A room in her fifth-floor apartment caught fire.
