Former President Donald Trump praised law enforcement officials for their response to an armed man outside of Trump International Golf Club.

Officials arrested Ryan Wesley Routh, who allegedly pointed a rifle toward the golf club while Trump was golfing on Sunday. Federal officials on Sunday called the incident an "apparent assassination attempt."

Sunday evening, Trump responded to the incident on his social media platforms.

"I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes - It was certainly an interesting day!" Trump wrote. "Most importantly, I want to thank the U.S. Secret Service, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and his Office of brave and dedicated Patriots, and, all of Law Enforcement, for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me, as the 45th President of the United States, and the Republican Nominee in the upcoming Presidential Election, SAFE. THE JOB DONE WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!"

The incident was the second known assassination attempt on Trump in recent months. In July, a gunman wounded Trump in the ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The shooter was fatally shot by Secret Service snipers seconds later.

The Secret Service took a lot of criticism for its preparations for the June rally. The department director, Kimberly Cheatle, resigned following intense questioning from lawmakers about the June incident.

In the time since, the Secret Service has instituted numerous changes to security protocols, including placing Trump behind protective glass during rallies.

People love their pets, but not necessarily the costs of caring for them. A recent survey found many people are getting priced out of owning a furry friend and can no longer afford them.

Bob Slusher struggles with the cost of feeding his four dogs.

"It's about $60 a week, and that's in wet food," he said. "It's kind of like raising a child. I mean, they don't need clothes or shoes, but the food and the vet bills (are expensive)."

In the latest consumer price index, the cost of purchasing animal and pet supplies and accessories was up a little more than 3% in the last year. Fortunately, food costs were up less than one percent compared to last year.

But that comes after three years of hefty increases.

Save on pet food

Noah Freed manages a pet store that specializes in food and accessories, the Delhi Pet Center. He has seen a dramatic rise in costs over the past four years. He says to keep food costs down, skip smaller bags at the grocery store, which are the easiest thing to purchase.

"Just because it's more convenient doesn't mean it's cheaper," he said.

Freed recommends buying the biggest bag you can carry and store. Pet supply stores typically stock 40-pound bags, which he says are the best deal.

"The best value is going to be your bigger bags," he said, "because you are going to get the most amount of food for the dollar."

He's a proponent of local pet stores that often have rewards.

"Those have rewards programs where if you buy a certain number of bags, you get one free," he said.

The site LendingTree came up with some unpleasant findings in a recent survey. It found that:

12% of Americans have surrendered a pet in recent years because they could no longer afford it 37% of people have gone into debt over a pet

Save on medical costs

LendingTree's Matt Schulz says a pet hospital visit can break the band.

"Medical emergencies are the primary cause of it," he said.

He suggests setting money aside for a pet emergency fund.

"They can be an amazing thing and they can help our health and our well-being, and just our overall feeling, but they're expensive," Schulz said.

The other option is pet insurance, especially policies designed to cover high-expense emergency visits.

Save on boarding

And dont forget about the cost of caring for pets while youre away.

Since kennels can be expensive, Checkbook.org suggests hiring a pet sitter to save money, or bringing your pet on trips with you, especially since many hotels are now dog-friendly.

"For a lot of families, taking the pet along is more convenient," Checkbook's Kevin Brasler said. "It's less costly and also it doesn't, you know, might not traumatize the pet so much.

Slusher has one last tip: Know what you are getting into before you buy or adopt.

"I would not tell anybody to get a dog if you're not going to put money into it," he said.

That way you don't waste your money.

The apples here at Detroit Farm and Cider are prime for picking and the owners are crossing their fingers they will be ready to open for the Fall 2024 season. But after a glimpse of hope, a years-long battle with the City of Detroit is now reaching its peak.

It was two weeks ago that I re-visited Detroit Farm and Cedar. Owner Leandra King, beaming with excitement and a touch of nervousness showing me the new additions to her property.

Well have live music over here, were going to have a clown," Leandra said. "Thursday well be doing snow cones, well be doing candy apples, fudge...

It was busy, with everyone in their matching company shirts working fervently, because the next day, Detroit Farm & Cider was scheduled to have a soft launch, its first opening since 2019.

"(I'm) really scared, nervous," Leandra said on the re-opening.

A food handling license, under her fiance's name was being delivered to the far, that day. Leandra believed it would give them the green light to open. But less than 24 hours later, a pile of citations, including a temporary restraining order, forced them to cancel once again.

"We are not looking for closure, we are looking for compliance," said City of Detroit attorney Conrad Mallet.

He claims a neighbor complaint prompted an investigation that found blight and several safety hazards.

We sent the Building and Safety Department and the Public Health Department to do an inspection, and we were refused entry," Conrad said.

Leandra denies inspectors were refused entry, but believes she should be exempt through the Michigan Right to Farm act, which gives protections to farmers from local government and neighbors who consider them a nuisance.

That case went to 36th District Court and it was decided against cider farm," Conrad said.

Mallet says the law does not apply here because it surrounds 12 or more homes. He also says owners of Detroit farm and cider are facing 15 previous misdemeanor for owning livestock without a proper permit.

"You can not ignore the law," Conrad said.

But still, Conrad insists the city will work alongside King to get into compliance.

We are not trying to be overly regulatory we are not trying to create a confrontation but what we are not going to do is just allow people to do whatever they want because they are well-intentioned, Conrad said.

Leandra, with mountains of certifications and perits, tells me her fight feels endless and patience is growing weary, as a foster child, whose only place of refuge was her annual trip to the cider mill, her dream of owning your own is growing faint.

I just want to build a legacy for my family. I want the same thing most families have, generational wealth, a legacy something to pass down," Leandra said.

Where Your Voice Matters

Tito Jackson, one of the brothers who made up the beloved pop group the Jackson 5, has died at age 70.

Tito was the third of nine Jackson children, which include global superstars Michael and sister Janet, part of a music-making family whose songs are still beloved today.

Its with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson is no longer with us. We are shocked, saddened and heartbroken. Our father was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being, his sons TJ, Taj and Taryll said in a statement posted on Instagram late Sunday.

The Jackson 5 included brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael. The family group, which was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, produced several No. 1 hits in the 1970s including "ABC," I Want You Back and Ill Be There.

RELATED STORY |Michael Jackson was more than $500 million in debt at the time of his death, court filing shows

The Jackson 5 became one of the biggest names in music under the guidance of their father, Joe Jackson, a steelworker and guitar player who supported his wife and nine children in Gary, Indiana. As the familys music careers took off, they relocated to California.

Born on Oct. 15, 1953, Toriano Adaryll Tito Jackson was the least-heard member of the group as a background singer who played guitar. His brothers launched solo careers, including Michael, who became one of the world's biggest performers known as The King of Pop.

Michael Jackson died at age 50 on June 25, 2009.

Speaking to The Associated Press in December 2009, Jackson said his younger brother's death pulled the family closer together.

I would say definitely it brought us a step closer to each other. To recognize that the love we have for each other when one of us is not here, what a great loss, he said, adding he would personally never be at peace with it.

Theres still moments when I just cant believe it. So I think thats never going to go away, he said.

In 2014, Jackson said he and his brothers still felt Michael Jackson's absence in their shows, which continued with international tours.

I dont think we will ever get used to performing without him. Hes dearly missed," he said, noting that Michael's spirit "is with us when we are performing. It gives us a lot of positive energy and puts a lot of smiles on our faces."

Days before his death, Jackson posted a message on his Facebook page from Germany on Sept. 11, where he visited a memorial to Michael Jackson with his brothers.

Before our show in Munich, my brothers Jackie, Marlon, and I, visited the beautiful memorial dedicated to our beloved brother, Michael Jackson. Were deeply grateful for this special place that honors not only his memory but also our shared legacy. Thank you for keeping his spirit alive," he wrote.

Tito Jackson was the last of the nine Jackson siblings to release a solo project with his 2016 debut, Tito Time. He released a song in 2017, One Way Street, and told the AP in 2019 that he was working on a sophomore album.

Jackson said he purposely held back from pursuing a solo career because he wanted to focus on raising his three sons, TJ, Taj and Taryll, who formed their own music group, 3T. Jackson's website offers a link to a single featuring 3T and Stevie Wonder titled, Love One Another.

Tito Jackson also is survived by his brothers Jermaine, Randy, Marlon and Jackie, his sisters Janet, Rebbie and La Toya and their mother, Katherine. Their father died in 2018.

Jackson's death was first reported by Entertainment Tonight.

We're focusing on a growing concern for families across the nation  parental stress. The challenges that parents face could have an impact on both their well-being and kids' health.

Parental stress, according to the U.S. Surgeon General, are being driven by factors such as the pandemic, economic pressures, and the ongoing demands of raising children.

In fact, nearly 70% of parents have reported feeling overwhelmed, and many are struggling to find support.

I went out to find out how parents are coping with the stress, and asked what advice they had to share for other parents.

"I like to go to the gym and relieve a little stress that way," Martell W. said.

"Even if you don't want to change, you have to be willing," Tyrone Powell Jr., added.

According to the recent report, 33% of parents over a one month period reported high levels of stress, compared to only 20% of other adults. 41% of parents say they're so stressed most days that they can't function, and another 48% find stress completely overwhelming, compared to 26% of other adults.

"Things I do for myself is studying the Bible and of course meditating on that," Martell added.

"We go by the plan. I know what time he has to be at school, then I go to work pick him up at a certain time, we're eating dinner at a certain time, we go to bed at a certain time," Shardai Webb said.

"If you raised them right and you have a trust in the Lord, that you have then they will see what they should do," Cathy Jorgenson said.

"Everyone deserves a second chance. Sometimes a third. Sometimes you shouldn't give up. don't give up you shouldn't give up," Powell added.

"You don't have to get angry and yell. Just talk to the kids they understand," Webb said.

"Learn from your mistakes. Strong responsibility and that what i have shared and passed down to my kids," Powell said.

"Set boundaries but be at it at a conversation let it be a conversation rather than preach," Jorgenson said.

Firefighters gained further ground over the weekend against three Southern California wildfires as authorities in northern Nevada lifted the last of evacuation orders for all homes Sunday.

More than 8,000 personnel combined are battling the three biggest fires burning in the state, all ignited during a triple-digit heatwave at the start of the month.

The largest blaze is the Bridge Fire at 85 square miles, which exploded dramatically through the Angeles National Forest east of Los Angeles at the start of the week. It has torched at least 49 buildings and forced the evacuation of 10,000 people. The fire was 9% contained Sunday morning, with firefighters gaining 4% overnight.

RELATED STORY | Yes, wildfires are actually becoming more intense and more common, study says

Officials said Sunday the focus continues to be on the northwest flank, where the fire is the most active, but upcoming rain and humidity will aid firefighting efforts.

That's not gonna stop this fire, what that is gonna allow is ... operation folks to go out there and be able to get that line constructed, said fire behavior analyst Garret Hazelton on Saturday.

The Line Fire in Southern California

The Line Fire, which grew slightly overnight to 60 square miles in the San Bernardino Mountains, was 36% contained Sunday.

Officials said it was active in the early morning due to a dry air mass in higher elevations, but cool weather conditions prevailed across the fire area. Light rain was possible late Sunday and into Monday.

RELATED STORY | As climate warms, wildfires could make air more deadly, study says

Authorities have said a delivery driver purposely started the Line Fire in Southern California on Sept. 5.

Arson-related charges have been filed against Justin Wayne Halstenberg, who is accused of starting the Line Fire. He is due to be arraigned on Monday, according to the San Bernardino County District Attorneys Office. Halstenbergs mother, Connie Halstenberg, told the Los Angeles Times that her son did not light that fire.

The Airport Fire in Southern California

The Airport Fire in Orange and Riverside counties remained at 37 square miles and 19% containment as of Sunday.

Were being helped by the weather and that weather will continue for a couple of days so were making good progress," said Orange County Fire Authority Operations Section Chief Albert Ward.

Firefighting efforts are expected to get a significant boost from thick fog and high humidity Sunday night, and from cooler temperatures and light rain Sunday and Monday, according to the fire authority.

RELATED STORY | Wildfires don't just hurt humans. Here's how they affect your pets

Crews were able to gain access to an area previously blocked by a rock slide. However, the southern edge of the fire is still marked by very rugged inaccessible country that will require helicopters to bring crews in or a long hike, Ward said Sunday.

Despite favorable weather, there is still fire risk above 4,000 feet in elevation, which remains dry. Smoldering vegetation up high can roll downhill and ignite unburned vegetation, the fire authority said.

The Davis fire in northern Nevada

In northern Nevada, Washoe County fire officials say evacuations will be lifted Sunday for all homes the last of nearly 20,000 evacuees.

The Davis fire was estimated at 77% containment on Sunday.

Officials said the fire now is classified as being in a state of mop-up with many restoration and repair projects underway. More than 600 personnel are currently working the wildland blaze that destroyed 14 homes and burned through nearly 9 square miles of timber and brush along the Sierra Nevadas eastern slope near Lake Tahoe.

Shogun could be in for an epic night, The Bear could clean up for the second time in less than a year, and Baby Reindeer has gone from dark horse to contender as the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards arrive on Sunday.

Back in their traditional mid-September spot after a single strike-delayed edition in January, the Emmys will air live on ABC from the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. The father and son duo of Eugene and Dan Levy, the winning stars of the 2020 Emmys with their show Schitt's Creek, will host.

RELATED STORY | Father-and-son team of Eugene and Dan Levy to co-host the Emmys

Here's a look at the how the evening could play out across the major categories.

How to watch and stream the Emmys

The show begins at 8 p.m. Eastern and is being shown live on ABC, which is available with an antenna or through cable and satellite providers.

The Emmys can be also streamed live through live TV streaming services that include ABC in their lineup, like Hulu+ Live TV, YouTube TV and FuboTV. For those without a live TV streaming service, the show will be streaming Monday on Hulu.

Who's nominated for drama series at the Emmys

It may be impossible to slow the roll of Shogun.

With its 14 wins at the precursor Creative Arts Emmy Awards last weekend, the FX series about lordly politicking in feudal Japan has already set a record for most Emmys for a single season of a series.

On Sunday night it can extend its record by six, and industry prognosticators are predicting it will get them all.

The show seized all the Emmy power in the top categories by shifting from the limited series to the drama category in May when it began developing more seasons. And it was in some ways Emmy royalty from the start. During the golden age of the miniseries, the original 1980 Shogun, based on James Clavell's historical novel, won three including best limited series.

If it faces any competition at all for the best drama prize, it could come for the sixth and final season of The Crown, the only show among the nominees that has won before in a category recently dominated by the retired Succession.

Veteran screen star Hiroyuki Sanada, up for best actor, and Anna Sawai, up for best actress, are in position to become the first Japanese actors to win Emmys.

Sanada could face a challenge from Gary Oldman, who has been quietly creating one of his career defining roles on Apple TV+ as schlubby spy chief Jackson Lamb on Slow Horses.

Sawai's competition comes from Emmy luminary Jennifer Aniston of The Morning Show, who has only won once before in 10 nominations. Imelda Staunton could win her first for playing Queen Elizabeth II on The Crown.

The comedy landscape at the Emmys

This looks to be the year of FX, which is also in for a likely victory lap for The Bear."

The Bear took most of the big comedy Emmys home in January for its first season, and is expected to do the same Sunday for its second, which includes nominations for best comedy series, best actor for Jeremy Allen White and best supporting actor for Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

Ayo Edebiri, reigning best supporting actress, moves to the lead actress category for a character who is essentially a co-lead on the culinary dramedy. That means she'll be up against Jean Smart, a two-time winner in the category for Hacks who is back in the competition after a year off.

Meryl Streep, among several Academy Award winners among the night's nominees, could win her fourth Emmy to go with her three Oscars. She's up for best supporting actress in a comedy for Only Murders in the Building.

Limited series categories at the Emmys

Another multiple Oscar winner, Jodie Foster, could get her first Emmy for best actress in a limited series for True Detective: Night Country.

The HBO show that features Foster as a police chief investigating mysterious deaths in the darkness of a north Alaskan winter was the top nominee among limited or anthology series. Kali Reis could become the first Indigenous woman to win an Emmy in the supporting actress category.

A few months ago it looked as though the show would vie with Fargo for the top prizes, but Netflix's darkly quirky Baby Reindeer surged on the eve of nominations and is now the popular pick for best limited series, best actor for creator and star Richard Gadd and best supporting actress for the woman who plays his tormentor, Jessica Gunning.

Gadd's category also includes Andrew Scott for Netflix's Ripley," and Jon Hamm, who has two shots at winning his second Emmy between his nomination here for Fargo and for supporting actor in a drama for The Morning Show.

Police say that it started as a fight and escalated into a shooting.

"This is ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous," White said after the shooting.

White said that there were officers in the area because of the large gatherings and tailgates, and that they actually heard the gunshots and responded.

According to White, they are looking at if they knew each other, but they are still investigating.

"Tailgating, drinking, guns, they don't mix," White said. "It's a beautiful day. It shouldn't have led to this."

The Oakland County Sheriff's Office said the suspect who barricaded himself and opened fire in a Farmington Hills neighborhood has been taken into custody after being shot.

According to police, Farmington Hills police responded to a home in the area of Middlebelt and 12 Mile on a report of a domestic violence assault in progress.

Donald Trump is safe following what law enforcement is describing as another assassination attempt on the former president.

"The FBI has responded to West Palm Beach Florida and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump," the FBI said in a statement to Scripps News.

A source familiar with the matter told Scripps News that Secret Service agents engaged with a suspect armed with a "long gun" outside the grounds of Trump International Golf Club.

According to the Associated Press, authorities have identified the person taken into custody as Ryan Wesley Routh.

During a Sunday afternoon press conference, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said the individual got into an SUV and fled before he was located nearby and taken into custody. The sheriff added that an AK-47-style rifle with a scope was recovered near the golf club.

Earlier in the day, the Trump campaign had said the former president was safe after shots were fired in his vicinity.

"Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER," Trump had said in a statement.

He later spoke out about the incident on Truth Social.

"I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes it was certainly an interesting day!" Trump wrote. "Most importantly, I want to thank the U.S. Secret Service, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and his office of brave and dedicated patriots, and, all of law enforcement, for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me, as the 45th President of the United States, and the Republican nominee in the upcoming Presidential Election, SAFE. THE JOB DONE WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!"

Trump running mate JD Vance said in a statement that he "spoke to him before the news was public" and said Trump was "amazingly, in good spirits."

"The Secret Service did exactly what they should have done. They provided exactly what the protection should have been and their agent did a fantastic job," said Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw.

RELATED STORY | New police video shows the moment officers realized there was a shooter at Trump rally

The person apprehended is scheduled to make a court appearance Monday morning. The White House said both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were briefed on the incident and were "relieved" to hear that Trump is safe.

"I commend the work of the Secret Service and their law enforcement partners for their vigilance and their efforts to keep the former President and those around him safe," President Biden said in a statement. "I am relieved that the former President is unharmed. There is an active investigation into this incident as law enforcement gathers more details about what happened. As I have said many times, there is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country, and I have directed my team to continue to ensure that Secret Service has every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure the former Presidents continued safety."

This comes just two months after former President Trump was wounded in an attempted assassination at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, that left one rallygoer dead and two other attendees injured.

Picture this: You are having a great out on a lake or a river, and then suddenly, you drop something valuable in the water and are left wondering how you will get it back?

That's where recovery diver Lisa Eick saves the day.

"Are you originally from Michigan?" I asked.

"Yeah I'm from the Clinton Township area. I do guided backpacking trips, I teach sea kayaking, but mostly, I do recovery scuba diving," said Eick.

"What does that entail?" I asked.

"Mostly, people lose things, and then they call me, I come out, and I find it. Sometimes it will be things like jewelry. A lot of times, it's cell phones. That's actually 40% of my business dropped cellphones. Then keys, glasses, wallets," said Eick.

Rings are also another common item that Lisa recovers. In fact, James Pause is one of Lisa's success stories. It happened at the Beacon Cove Marina on Lake St. Clair.

"A lot of boats going in and out, it's like how can you see down there? So I thought I would probably never find it. But let's try anyway. Then she arrives, gets her gear on, and literally she goes down, and in 30 seconds.. she comes back up," said Pause.

James marked his sixth wedding anniversary this year. The ring is a reminder of how the 41-year-old fought for his love.

"My wife, I chased her for a while. She would never give me the time of day," said Pause.

As for how the ring fell in the marina...

"It was time to clean the boat, I took my ring off, I set it on the seat, and I bring the hose in, spraying it down, and I go to yank the hose, the hose hits the ring, and the ring started rolling," said Pause.

"It must be really fulfilling," I said.

"Yeah, it's a lot of fun just to start with, but it's also so gratifying and rewarding; people are so happy to get their stuff back," said Eick.

This summer was Lisa's 4th season as a recovery diver, and she had some interesting calls for help.

"Pulled out a golf cart, somebody's dental bridge, a 3-foot propeller," said Eick,

Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) doubled down on a false claim that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating residents' pets during an interview Sunday morning on CNN's "State of the Union."

The claim, spread primarily by Vance and made more viral by former President Donald Trump during Tuesday's presidential debate, has been repeatedly debunked by Springfield's city officials and police.

"My constituents have brought approximately a dozen separate concerns to me. Ten of them are verifiable and confirmable and a couple of them I talk about because my constituents are telling me firsthand that they're seeing these things," Vance said during an interview with CNN's Dana Bash. "I could ignore them, which is what the American media has done for years to this community, or I can actually talk about what people are telling me. And of course, many of the things that the media says are completely baseless have since been confirmed. For example, I was told, Dana, by the American media that it was baseless, that migrants were capturing the geese from the local park pond and eating them. And yet there are 9-1-1 calls from well before this ever became a viral sensation of people complaining about that exact thing happening."

RELATED STORY | Trump amplifies false claim about migrants eating pets during debate

The conspiracy theory's origins on social media have also been linked to a Sept. 6 Facebook post that was later shared on X in which someone claimed their neighbor's daughter's friend's cat was seen at a house "where Haitians live," hanging from a tree and about to be eaten.

Per Scripps News' partner Politifact, the Facebook post was flagged as an unfounded claim by Meta, which is working to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.

One of the people whose social media post reportedly contributed to the rumor storm told NBC News on Saturday that it "exploded into something" that she didnt mean to happen.

I knew it wasnt normal, because everything else went silent, said Jim Bush, a neighbor who lives near I-75. Everything else went silent, all the cars stopped, there was no noise after that, so I kind of figured that something had gone wrong.

I heard a big bang it kind of scared me a little bit, and I got up and everybody was running back there, said another neighbor.

Police say the motor carrier officer was inside his patrol vehicle and seat-belted in when it was hit. He was pinned inside the vehicle and had to be extricated from it.

Police are reminding drivers of the Move Over Law, which requires drivers to slow down at least 10 mph and fully move over into an open lane when approaching a stationary vehicle with flashing, rotating or oscillating lights activated. If you can't move over due to traffic, weather or road conditions, slow down at least 10 mph below the posted speed limit and pass with caution, allowing the authorized vehicle as much space as possible.

Huge celebrations across the U.S. are expected to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month, an annual tradition that showcases the awe-inspiring diversity and culture of Hispanic people.

Celebrated each year from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, the month is a chance for many in the U.S. to learn about and celebrate the contributions of Hispanics, the country's fastest-growing racial or ethnic minority, according to the census. The group includes people whose ancestors come from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.

There are more than 65 million people identified as ethnically Hispanic in the U.S., according to the latest census estimates.

Heritage week embraces the sprawling histories of Latinos

Before there was National Hispanic Heritage Month, there was Hispanic Heritage Week, which was created through legislation sponsored by Mexican American U.S. Rep. Edward R. Roybal of Los Angeles and signed into law in 1968 by President Lyndon B. Johnson.

The weeklong commemoration was expanded to a month two decades later, with legislation signed into law by President Ronald Reagan.

"It was clustered around big celebrations for the community," Alberto Lammers, director of communications at the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute said. "It became a chance for people to know Hispanic cultures, for Latinos to get to know a community better and for the American public to understand a little better the long history of Latinos in the U.S."

The month is a way for Hispanics to showcase their diversity and culture with the support of the government, said Rachel Gonzalez-Martin, an associate professor of Mexican American and Latino Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.

Sept. 15 was chosen as the starting point to coincide with the anniversary of "El Grito de Dolores," or the "Cry of Dolores," which was issued in 1810 from a town in central Mexico that launched that country's war for independence from Spain.

The Central American nations of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica celebrate their independence on Sept. 15, and Mexico marks its national day on Sept. 16, the day after the cry for independence.

Also during National Hispanic Heritage Month, the South American nation of Chile observes its independence day on Sept. 18. Indigenous Peoples' Day, previously known as Columbus Day, is observed in the U.S. on the second Monday of October.

Over the past decade, the month has grown due to the larger Latino consumer base in the U.S., Gonzalez-Martin said. Gonzalez-Martin said visible support from the federal government, including celebrations at the White House, has also made it easier for Hispanics to celebrate.

"Hispanic Heritage Month was a way in which to be Hispanic and Latino but with official blessing," Gonzalez-Martin said. "It was a recognition of belonging and that became really powerful."

The four-week period is about honoring the way Hispanic populations have shaped the U.S. in the past and present, Lammers said.

"It gives us a chance to acknowledge how Latinos have been part of this nation for so many centuries," Lammers said. "I think that's what is great about this. It has allowed us to really dig deeper and a chance to tell our stories."

Not everyone who is Hispanic uses that label

Hispanic was a term coined by the federal government for people descended from Spanish-speaking cultures. But for some, the label has a connotation of political conservatism and emphasizes a connection to Spain. It sometimes gets mistakenly interchanged with "Latino" or "Latinx."

For some, Latino reflects their ties to Latin America. So some celebrations are referred to as Latinx or Latin Heritage Month.

Latin Americans are not a monolith. There are several identifiers for Latin Americans, depending largely on personal preference. Mexican Americans who grew up during the 1960s Civil Rights era may identify as Chicano. Others may go by their family's nation of origin such as Colombian American or Salvadoran American.

Each culture has unique differences when it comes to music, food, art and other cultural touchstones.

Celebrations are planned throughout the month

From California to Florida, there will be no shortage of festivities. The celebrations tout traditional Latin foods and entertainment including, mariachi bands, folklrico and salsa lessons. The intent is to showcase the culture of Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and other Latin countries.

Events highlighting Hispanic culture include a quinceaera fashion show in Dallas on Sept. 14, the New York Latino Film Festival, which runs from Sept. 17-22, and the Viva Tampa Bay Hispanic Heritage Festival on Sept. 28-29.

The Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., is offering a slate of activities elevating Hispanic heritage, including a celebration of the life of Celia Cruz and exhibits of art made in Mexico.

A scuffle between members of the groundbreaking alternative rock band Jane's Addiction came amid "tension and animosity" during their reunion tour, lead singer Perry Farrell's wife said Saturday.

The band is known for edgy, punk-inspired hits "Been Caught Stealing" and "Mountain Song" in the late 1980s and early 1990s as the alternative rock and grunge music movements were growing.

In videos posted on social media from Friday night's concert in Boston, Farrell, 65, is seen singing loudly into his mic and then lunging at guitarist Dave Navarro, bumping Navarro with his shoulder before taking a swing at Navarro with his right arm. Navarro is seen holding his right arm out to keep Farrell away before Farrell is dragged away by others on stage. The show ended shortly after.

"Perry's frustration had been mounting, night after night, he felt that the stage volume had been extremely loud and his voice was being drowned out by the band," Etty Lau Farrell wrote in an Instagram post Saturday morning.

She said her husband had been suffering from tinnitus and a sore throat and "by the end of the song, he wasn't singing, he was screaming just to be heard." She said her husband later broke down "and cried and cried."

The band posted a statement to its Instagram story following the incident, saying in part, "We want to extend a heartfelt apology to our fans for the events that unfolded last night."

The statement also said they'd be canceling Sunday night's show in Bridgeport and refunds would be issued."

The band's "Imminent Redemption" tour started in early August and has 15 dates left, including a show in Connecticut on Sunday night.

The band has not yet made a statement about the future of the tour.

A pastor at 2|42 Community Church was arrested for allegedly placing a hidden camera inside a bathroom at the church.

According to church leadership, a staff member discovered the hidden camera inside the unisex bathroom in the backstage area of the Brighton campus. We are not naming the suspect until he is officially charged.

They say the man, who was a worship pastor director, confessed to church leadership that he placed the camera in the bathroom.

Officials notified the Livingston County Sheriff's Office, and church leadership say he was arrested immediately and the church terminated him on Sept. 13.

"We are shocked and deeply saddened by this situation, as the protection, safety and privacy of every person who enters our church is our priority. 2|42 Community Church is cooperating fully with the Sheriffs Office investigation and is taking proactive steps, including engaging with a third party investigator, to ensure the safety of all our facilities," Eric Rauch, the executive pastor of ministry operations, said in a statement.

In an email to church members over the weekend, officials said that the sheriff's office doesn't have indication that cameras were placed elsewhere.

Also, they said church leadership searched the facilities and will continue to search them, along with hiring a third-party professional to search for more cameras.

We did reach out to the Livingston County Sheriff's Office, who said they would release more information on Monday.

The Biden administration on Friday asked an appeals court to revive a Trump-era rule that lifted remaining Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves in the U.S.

If successful, the move would put the predators under state oversight nationwide and open the door for hunting to resume in the Great Lakes region after it was halted two years ago under court order.

Environmentalists had successfully sued when protections for wolves were lifted in former President Donald Trumps final days in office.

Fridays filing with the 9th U.S. District Court of Appeals was President Joe Biden administrations first explicit step to revive that rule. Protections will remain in place pending the courts decision.

The court filing follows years of political acrimony as wolves have repopulated some areas of the western U.S., sometimes attacking livestock and eating deer, elk and other big game.

Environmental groups want that expansion to continue since wolves still occupy only a fraction of their historic range.

Attempts to lift or reduce protections for wolves date to the first term of former President George W. Bush more than two decades ago and have continued with each subsequent administration.

They once roamed most of North America but were widely decimated by the mid-1900s in government-sponsored trapping and poisoning campaigns. Gray wolves were granted federal protections in 1974.

Each time the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declares them recovered, the agency is challenged in court. Wolves in different parts of the U.S. lost and regained protections multiple times in recent years.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is focused on a concept of recovery that allows wolves to thrive on the landscape while respecting those who work and live in places that support them, agency spokesperson Vanessa Kauffman said.

The administration is on the same side in the case as livestock and hunting groups, the National Rifle Association and Republican-led Utah.

Its opposed by the Sierra Club, Center for Biological Diversity, Humane Society of the United States and other groups.

While wolves are protected, they do very well, and when they lose protections, that recovery backslides, said Collette Adkins with the Center for Biological Diversity. We won for good reason at the district court.

She said she was saddened officials were trying to reinstate the Trump administration's rule.

Efforts to restore wolves to date have been limited to a handful of regions. Federal officials earlier this year agreed to develop a first-ever national recovery plan, by December 2025, under a settlement in a separate lawsuit.

Kauffman declined to say whether that national plan would still be pursued if the government prevails in the 9th Circuit case.

But attorneys suggested in Friday's court filing that the government is ready to move on from gray wolf recovery, now that the species is no longer in danger of extinction.

The ESA (Endangered Species Act) is clear: its goal is to prevent extinction, not to restore species to their pre-western settlement numbers and range," U.S. Department of Justice attorneys wrote.

The 2022 ruling that restored protections said wildlife officials had failed to show wolf populations could be sustained in the Midwest and portions of the West. Officials also didnt adequately consider threats to wolves outside those core areas, said U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White in California.

The Great Lakes region has more than 4,000 wolves. More than 2,000 wolves occupy states in the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest.

Congress circumvented the courts in 2011 and stripped federal safeguards in the northern U.S. Rocky Mountains. Thousands of wolves have since been killed in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.

Lawmakers have continued to press for state control in the western Great Lakes region. When those states gained jurisdiction over wolves briefly under the Trump rule, trappers and hunters using hounds blew past harvest goals in Wisconsin and killed almost twice as many as planned.

Michigan and Minnesota have previously held hunts but not in recent years.

Wolves are present but no public hunting is allowed in states including Washington, Oregon, California and Colorado. Theyve never been protected in Alaska, where tens of thousands of the animals live.

The Biden administration last year rejected requests from conservation groups to restore protections for gray wolves across the northern Rockies. That decision, too, has been challenged.

State lawmakers in that region, which includes Yellowstone National Park and vast areas of wilderness, are intent on culling more wolf packs. But federal officials determined the predators were not in danger of being wiped out entirely under the states loosened hunting rules.

The U.S. also is home to small, struggling populations of red wolves in the mid-Atlantic region and Mexican wolves in the Southwest. Those populations are both protected as endangered.
