Riot police storm Hong Kong malls amid protests
Riot police stormed several malls in Hong Kong on Sunday to curb pro-democracy protests. A knife attack injured at least five people, with two in critical condition, and a district councilor lost part of an ear. Police dispersed crowds, blocked access to a park by Carrie Lam’s office, and clashes continued after a chaotic weekend. Lam travels to Beijing this week for talks on governance and the Greater Bay Area development.

Judge blocks health care rule for immigrants in Oregon
A federal judge in Portland halted a Trump administration policy that would require immigrants seeking visas abroad to prove health coverage or financial means for medical costs. The order delays the rule's effect, with no ruling yet on merits. The suit argues the rule would bar about two thirds of prospective legal immigrants and curb family-sponsored immigration.
