Imperial County revisits environmental review rules

KYMA on July 10, 2026

Adrik Vargas

IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA) – Imperial County leaders are reviewing updates to the county’s environmental review rules as some residents question how the changes could impact the proposed data center project near Imperial.

The proposed updates focus on the county’s rules under the California Environmental Quality Act, also known as CEQA. The changes are meant to align the county’s procedures with state requirements, including how environmental decisions can be challenged.

County officials say the local CEQA rules were first adopted in 1979 and were last updated in 2017.

During Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, some residents raised concerns about changing the appeal process while questions surrounding the data center project remain.

Board Chairwoman Martha Cárdenas-Singh said the updates would not change past decisions.

“We must state clearly for the record that these rule changes do not apply retroactively to protect or alter any board approvals made prior to today,” Cárdenas-Singh said. “This is about alignment with state law moving forward, not shielding past actions.”

The Board of Supervisors continued the discussion and is expected to revisit the item at its July 28 meeting.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Gov. Mike Kehoe declared a state of emergency for the state on Friday because of recent storms and flooding.

Kehoe announced on his social media that he signed Executive Order 26-16. Severe weather went through Mid-Missouri on Thursday and continued into Friday morning, with more storms expected to enter the area in the evening, according to the ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Team.

“Over the past 24 hours, intense storms have created dangerous flash flooding across several regions of Missouri, resulting in multiple swift-water rescues,” Kehoe wrote online. “With additional heavy rain expected through the weekend, the threat is not over. If you’re camping, floating, or spending time near rivers and streams, move to higher ground and stay aware of weather conditions.”

Thousands of people near the Lake of the Ozarks were without power early Friday and it continued into the afternoon. Missouri Task Force 1 was activated and sent to Sikestone to assist with the flood response.

The executive order activates the state’s emergency operations plan. It is set to expire Aug. 10.

Missouri files appeal in recent abortion ruling to state’s Supreme Court

KMIZ on July 10, 2026

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Representatives of the State of Missouri filed an appeal on Friday to the state’s high court over a recent ruling involving abortion rights

Jackson County Judge Jerri Zhang last month in their 20-page ruling struck down a number of restrictions that were in place that were determined to be in violation of 2024’s Amendment 3, a voter-approved measure that enshrined abortion rights within the Missouri Constitution.

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway and Republican Gov. Mike Kehoea opposed the ruling, while groups like the ACLU and “No on 3, Stop the Ban” were in support of it.

Among those restrictions struck down included the restrictions on medical abortions and specific licensing requirements at facilities that provide abortions.

Medical provider Planned Parenthood began taking medical abortion appointments at the end of last month.

State lawmakers are asking voters again to give their insight on abortion rights this fall with the new Amendment 3. Its passage would increase restrictions.

Friday’s notice of appeal to the Supreme Court questions “the validity of a statute or provision of the Constitution of Missouri.”

Industry leaders in Juárez raise concerns over USMCA reviews

KVIA on July 10, 2026

CIUDAD JUÁREZ, Chihuahua (KVIA) — Several business and industry leaders on the border are raising concerns about the recent reviews of the United States-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade agreement, which will begin every year until it ends in 2036.

ABC-7 spoke with Marcelo Vázquez Tovar, the regional delegate in Chihuahua for the National Association of Importers and Exporters of the Mexican Republic (ANIERM), who shared his perspective on the challenges and opportunities this scenario presents for our local and national economy.

Vázquez Tovar said Mexico faces challenges and opportunities due to a possible non-renewal of trade agreements by the United States. In response, Mexico has an opportunity to transition to producing its own components for the maquiladora industry, thereby reducing dependence on external supplies.

Vázquez Tovar said this announcement, made as the USMCA draws to a close, creates a sense of uncertainty. However, he also described it as a turning point for seeking greater certainty and developing stronger, more reasonable strategies.

Despite potential trade shifts, Ciudad Juárez’s economy is expected to maintain its dynamism due to its robust productive capacity.

The city’s labor market is expected to undergo readjustment, similar to those experienced in other regions of Mexico. This regrouping presents an opportunity for Mexico to transition toward producing its own components for the maquiladora industry, rather than depending exclusively on external supplies.

To address this scenario, collaboration among various chambers of commerce, associations and the government is vital. This partnership will provide firsthand information to support ANIERM members in developing new components and establishing specialized workshops.

Vázquez Tovar also emphasized that although this situation presents significant challenges, it does not represent an “end of the world,” but rather a period of readjustment.

Mexico possesses the necessary elements to develop this productive capacity,” Vázquez said. “From ANIERM, the commitment is to keep members informed and work in coordination to strengthen the region’s productive sovereignty, transforming current challenges into a stage of industrial maturity for Mexico.”

This industrial transition is projected to take a 10-year period to complete. ANIERM plans to continue working in coordination to strengthen the region’s productive sovereignty.

Rolla police say ‘swatting’ call led to large response on Vichy Road

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A swatting call led to a large police response Friday morning in Rolla, the Rolla Police Department wrote on its social media.

Police wrote that it responded to “to a report of a domestic disturbance involving a firearm” on Vichy Road. Officers quickly learned the home was vacant and “no disturbance had occurred.”

“Our investigation has determined that this call was the result of a swatting incident,” police wrote. “Swatting is the intentional act of making a false emergency report to law enforcement in an effort to prompt a large police response to a specific location. These incidents unnecessarily place first responders and the public at risk while diverting emergency resources from legitimate calls for service.”

Police are continuing to investigate the incident.

Gas prices rise during summer travel season

KESQ on July 10, 2026

Kiera McKinney

PALM DESERT. Calif. (KESQ)- Gas prices climb as Palm Springs enters a busy summer travel season. For about a month, gas prices had been steadily dropping. Now, they’ve gone up by 3 cents in one day, the first jump since May.

Gas prices are on the rise again, as millions of people hit the road for summer vacations and weekend getaways. In a tourism-driven city like Palm Springs, higher prices could affect both visitors and locals.

Gas prices in Riverside County ticked up from roughly $5.36 to $5.38 per gallon overnight. The gain is driven by the end of a ceasefire in the Middle East and renewed U.S. strikes against Iran, which have disrupted global oil markets and caused crude prices to spike. Riverside County’s average gas prices dropped back to $5.23 a gallon by Sunday.

The national average rose by 5 cents to $3.84 per gallon. California’s average rose to $5.38 per gallon. AAA said the increase is due to the end of the ceasefire and renewed U.S. strikes against Iran.

Kandace Redd, AAA spokesperson, said, “Gas prices generally follow crude oil. Now, when crude oil prices surge, drivers can expect to pay more at the pump, especially since about 60% of what they pay is tied directly to the price of crude.”

“Things that happen globally can definitely impact us here in the States, right here in California, and here locally, ” Redd said.

BOISE, Idaho — Boise police have arrested a man in connection with the killing of 25-year-old Jordan Harbst, whose death along the Greenbelt sparked a homicide investigation earlier this week.

Ross Allen Wardlaw, 41, of Boise, was arrested on Thursday and charged with first-degree murder, according to the Boise Police Department.

Police said evidence indicates Wardlaw attacked Harbst shortly after midnight Monday while Harbst was traveling along the Boise River Greenbelt near 11th Street. Investigators said Wardlaw stabbed Harbst multiple times, leading to his death.

Detectives identified Wardlaw as the suspect following their investigation, and police said he was taken into custody around 3:30 p.m. He was later booked into the Ada County Jail.

Police said Wardlaw and Harbst were not known to each other and there was no known altercation before the stabbing.

“Our hearts are with the family and friends of Jordan Harbst,” Boise Police Chief Chris Dennison said in a news release. “Boise Police detectives, officers, and professional staff have been working around the clock to find answers and locate the person responsible for Jordan’s tragic death.”

Idaho News 6 previously interviewed Wardlaw

Idaho News 6 previously interviewed Wardlaw less than two weeks before his arrest as part of a story about cooling resources available to Boise’s unhoused population.

Wardlaw spoke with Idaho News 6 downtown neighborhood reporter Sahana Patel about Corpus Commons, a resource center that provides services to people experiencing homelessness near the Greenbelt. During that interview, Wardlaw said the organization had helped him through some of his hardest days.

“Everybody kind of like takes care of each other and stuff like that,” Wardlaw said at the time. “Sometimes I volunteer here and do the cleaning and stuff like that, just to try to pay it back — but I can never really pay it back, you know what I mean.”

Boise police confirmed to Idaho News 6 that the man arrested in connection with Harbst’s death is the same individual who was interviewed for the previous story.

About the victim

Harbst was 25 years old. His family and friends described him as someone who brought light to those around him.

A verified GoFundMe has been created to support Harbst’s family with funeral expenses and other costs following his death.

What’s next

Wardlaw is scheduled to appear in Ada County Court for an arraignment Friday.

The investigation remains ongoing. Detectives are asking anyone who may have had contact with Wardlaw in the days before or after the killing to contact Ada County Dispatch at 208-377-6790.

Idaho News 6 will continue following this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.

First-degree murder conviction upheld in Alamogordo police officer’s shooting death

KVIA on July 10, 2026

Gabrielle Lopez

ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (KVIA) — Friday, the New Mexico Department of Justice said the state’s supreme court upheld a first-degree murder conviction in a shooting that killed an Alamogordo police officer. Dominic De La O will continue serving a life sentence in prison without parole.

In July 2023, De La O shot and killed Anthony Ferguson with a sawed-off, unregistered shotgun after an attempted traffic stop, the NMDOJ said. Ferguson died to his injuries a day after De La O shot him.

NMDOJ said De La O discarded his shirt and the shotgun as he ran way, and Alamogordo police chased him and shot his leg.

Thursday, the court argued the appeal and affirmed all convictions against De La O, including first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, aggravated fleeing of an officer, resisting or evading an officer and criminal trespass. NMDOJ said.

Dominic De La O was also sentenced to eight years in prison for federal firearms offenses related to the murder in June 2025.

According to the NMDOJ, Ferguson was an 11-year veteran of the Alamogordo Police Department and a field training officer.

In October 2024, authorities sentenced 32-year-old Jonah Apodaca to six years in prison for providing De La O with the sawed-off shotgun. Apodaca pleaded guilty earlier that year in July.
