Some Guthrie ransom notes still investigated
The FBI has discounted some of the ransom notes that surfaced after the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie as extortion attempts. But the agency said Wednesday it's still evaluating others that might be legitimate.
The FBI did not specify how many ransom notes have been received, other than saying it's "several." Guthrie has been missing for five months.

ICE arrests 10,000 in 5 days in June surge
WASHINGTON -- Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested 10,000 people over a five-day period at the end of June.
That marks a major push by the agency tasked with carrying out the Trump administration's mass deportations agenda. The arrests translate into roughly 2,000 per day, a sharp increase over previous periods. In June, the number of people booked into ICE detention facilities climbed to roughly 39,000. ICE doesn't publicly release arrest data, making exact comparisons difficult.
