La Migra: Illegal immigrants braced themselves for immigration raids expected to take place in at least 10 major cities across the country today.

  The operation istargetting about 2,000 undocumented immigrants who crossed the border recently, many of them in family units. Also on the radar are people with outstanding deportation orders.

  On Friday, hundreds of protesters swarmed the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Aurora, Colo., taking down the  American flag and replacing it with the Mexican flag.

 Some have found temporary places to stay where immigration authorities will not find them and parents have held their children out of summer camp and daycare programs. Immigration advocates have encouraged parents whose children are US citizens to make custody orders in case they are deported.

  Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are not allowed to forcibly enter homes, but they have a bag of tricks to get people to reveal themselves. The day might end with a lot of sad stories. 

Baby Boom: Much of midtown Manhattan was enveloped in a blackout last night that utility officials at ConEd said was the fault of a mechanical failure.

  Thousands of people were trapped in subways and elevators. Street intersections had no working traffic lights. About 62,000 customers were left in the dark.

  The blackout happened on the same date that a massive power failure in 1977 plunged the city into darkness. Even Times Square was in the dark.

  And we know that the maternity wards were very busy nine months later. 

In Deep: The storm named Barry hit the Louisiana coast as a hurricane and quickly diminished to a tropical storm. Wind is less of a threat, but water is a problem. The storm could drop more than 15 inches of rain in parts of eastern Louisiana and southwest Mississippi. This could raise water levels on several rivers in southeast Louisiana to record heights, including in Baton Rouge.

Back Where You Came From:Demonstrating once again that he doesn’t care how Democracy or America works, President Trump tweeted today that the progressive Democrats resisting the power of their party’s leaders should go back where they came from.

  Trump wrote, “So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”

  Only one of the progressives came from another country. Rep. Ilhan Omar was born in Mogadishu, Somalia. The loudest voice, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, was born in the Bronx. Trump came from Queens, and it shows.

Center Court: In a 6-2, 6-2 defeat by Romania’s Simona Halep, tennis power Serena Williams was denied her an eighth Wimbledon championship.

  Halep is 27 and Williams is 37. The upstart Halep said it was the best match she ever played. “My stomach was not very well before the match. But I had no time for emotions.”

 Williams is still gunning for a 24^thGrand Slam title, but she’s struggling. She’s getting older for the game and only three women have won a title after having a baby.

The News Roundup: An American service member was killed in Afghanistan yesterday. That makes 10 for the year so far. No details were given — Interpol announced this week that over 26 days in June law enforcement officers around the world recovered dolphins and sharks, lion and tiger cubs, nearly two dozen primates and more than 10,000 reptiles, birds and marine animals. It was a major operation operation against wildlife traffickers.

The Java Beat: Starbucks announced that starting in September it will no longer sell newspapers. They haven’t explained why. They are also removing shelves that display whole bean coffee and snacks. A prize for anyone who figures out how all this is connected.

A Plan for That: Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has distinguished herself among Democratic presidential candidates as having a “plan” for every political possibility and contingency. Ask her about any problem facing voters and she’s got a plan for that.

  Warren’s plethora of plans has spawned a genre of internet “plan” jokes. A sampling:

• “ Need an omelette? Elizabeth Warren has a pan for that.”

• “Need a Spanish dessert? Elizabeth Warren has a flan for that.”

• “Need to forbid something? Elizabeth Warren has a ban for that.”

“Getting ready for summer? Elizabeth Warren has a tan for that.”

• “Need an electronic copy of a document? Elizabeth Warren has a scan for that.”

• “Need a ride? Elizabeth Warren has a sedan for that.”

  And maybe the cleverest: 

• “Need a subtractive primary color? Elizabeth Warren has a cyan for that.”
