The United States shut its embassy in Tripoli on Saturday and evacuated diplomats to Tunisia under military escort as fighting between Libyan militias intensified. A State Department spokesman said personnel were relocated due to ongoing violence near the embassy. The move follows a new Libya travel warning urging Americans to depart immediately. The Pentagon noted fighter jets and other aircraft provided security during a roughly five hour operation.

Obama pushes border reform as Congress stalls

The plan, under debate, would fund under $1 billion and cover troops, judges, and faster removals, but faces slim chances of passage before the break. Meanwhile in Ukraine, forces near Donetsk gain ground as Moscow-backed rebels receive heavy artillery amid ongoing fighting and a stalled Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 investigation nearby.
