1. The Biden administration yesterday unveiled a proposed change in the asylum process that could allow immigration officials to deport some migrants within days. Under the policy, key eligibility determinations would shift from the interview stage, which currently can take years, to the initial screening stage.
2. Construction is beginning on the Union at Purple Heart Trail, a new affordable housing complex in east Wichita. It will be located at 300 s. 127th Street East and will offer 240 one, two and three-bedroom units to households whose income level is at or below 60% of the area median income. The anticipated opening is early 2026.
3. If you’re headed to KU commencement on Sunday, you could present your graduate with a unique, first of its kind, gift. The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled a very special, officially licensed Kansas Jayhawks 2022 Men’s Basketball Game Used Championship Court Bobblehead. It features Big Jay, standing on an actual piece of the court that Kansas played on when it came back and won the 2022 Men’s Basketball National Championship.
4. It’s no surprise that Google is always watching and knows what you’re searching for, that’s how they generate these fun reports. Like, the most popular travel destinations this summer by state. I am clearly part of the majority here in Kansas, because the top travel destination for the Sunflower State, is Italy.
5. And congratulations to the class of 2024 being inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame. The games that are a part of the 10th class of inductees are Asteroids, Myst, Resident Evil, SimCity and Ultima for their impacts on the video game industry and popular culture. The honor for Atari’s Asteroids comes 45 years after its 1979 debut in arcades, where it was Atari’s bestselling coin-operated game. And after 45 years, I still can’t make it past level 5…
and THAT’S TRENDING.
