AP News, I'm Hyam Penjuanji. Justice Department has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt a new Texas law that allows police to arrest migrants who enter the country illegally. The AP's Lisa Dwyer. The emergency request sets up another legal showdown over the federal government's authority over immigration. Under the Texas law, state officers can arrest people suspected of entering the country illegally. Once in custody, people arrested can agree to a Texas judge's order to leave the country or be prosecuted on a misdemeanor charge. Migrants who do not leave after being ordered to do so could be arrested again and charged with a more serious felony. The law is set to take effect Saturday unless the High Court intervenes.

According to the settlement, two attorneys for then-President Donald Trump, Kenneth Chesboro and Jim Troopis, orchestrated a plan for fake electors to file paperwork falsely saying Trump won in Wisconsin. The two men turned over more than 1,400 pages of documents, emails, and text messages. It's a strategy used in six other states, including Georgia, where Chesboro has already pleaded guilty. There is no admission of wrongdoing or liability in the agreements in Wisconsin in which Chesboro and Troopis promise to never take part in similar efforts involving future presidential campaigns. Michigan and Nevada have criminally charged fake electors, but there's no known criminal investigation in Wisconsin. I'm Ed Donahue. And there's chaos and Haiti. Powerful gangs are attacking key targets like prisons in the main international airport as alliances are shifting. AP correspondent India Grant has more. But what happened to the weekend was a new descent into chaos with up to 4,000 prisoners freed when gangs stormed the country's two largest prisons. This is AP News. One of the most decorated offensive linemen of the modern era is retiring. Correspondent Gethic Koolba has more. Jason Kelsey has retired after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Burley Bushy had 36-year-old officially called it quits Monday, ending a career in which he became not only one of the greatest centers of his era, who played a key role in the franchise's lone Super Bowl championship, but also a beloved Philly personality and popular podcast host. The former sixth-round pick out of Cincinnati in 2011 earned six all-pro and seven Pro Bowl selections in 193 regular season games for the Eagles. I'm Gethic Koolba. NASCAR driver Raja Karuth, who won Friday night's truck series race. His first career NASCAR national series victory says he still hasn't come to grips with becoming just the third black driver to win at NASCAR's national level.
