WASHINGTON (AP) ¡ª A Texas congressman says he released video and photos of migrant women being held at a border facility in his state so the public could better understand "awful" conditions under President Donald Trump's policies.Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro said in an interview that he had no second thoughts about taking and sharing the images after officials had asked the lawmakers on a facility tour to leave their cellphones behind. He posted the images after visiting a station in El Paso."There's a reason these conditions are kept secret because these conditions are awful," Castro, chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, told The Associated Press.Castro said because lawmakers have oversight authority, they should not be denied access or the ability to share their findings.Castro said he holds out hope that Congress will impose standards of care and seek broader immigration reforms, though lawmakers have been unable to do so.Trump signed an emergency .6 billion border funding package into law this week after lawmakers split over putting restrictions on how the money can be spent. Some House Democrats wanted more standards on the facilities, but they ran up against resistance from centrist colleagues and those in the Senate. Republicans complained that Democrats delayed the funding.The Congressional Hispanic Caucus led a tour of migrant facilities this week and lawmakers decried the conditions inside the Texas centers.This moment captures what it¡¯s like for women in CBP custody to share a cramped cell¡ªsome held for 50 days¡ªfor them to be denied showers for up to 15 days and life-saving medication. For some, it also means being separated from their children. This is El Paso Border Station #1. pic.twitter.com/OmCAlGxDt8¡ª Joaquin Castro (@JoaquinCastrotx) July 1, 2019 1817

There's a little bit of something for everyone.For those craving a beach getaway, there is the Four Seasons Punta Mita.¡°it's a beautiful destination in the Mexican Pacific,¡± said Miguel Peregrina, the on-site communications and marketing director at Four Seasons Punta Mita.¡°We were thinking what should we do because on top of all that it was long stays,¡± Peregrina added. ¡°People are arriving for three weeks or longer stays.¡±This particular resort was the first of the of the Four Seasons to open in Latin America. After their post pandemic re-opening in early July, Peregrina said they started getting some interesting inquiries.¡°We are receiving a lot of requests for a study buddy, which is like a nanny with technical expertise familiar with operation in the resort that can stay with the kids while they¡¯re doing online classes,¡± Peregrina said. ¡°And we have professional tutors.¡±There's golf, tennis, and folklorico lessons if you're so inclined. You get to work in a cabana, while your kids do their work too.If you have mountains on your mind, you can head to the Poconos, where students are working on computers while wearing masks¡°They¡¯re doing their homework or they¡¯re online with their class at the moment, trying to stay engaged with their schoolwork,¡± Robert Howell, general manager of the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resorts, said.The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resorts has a "Monitored Learning Environment" for children.¡°Mom and dad are out and about; they could be on the porch having coffee, they could be on the golf course or sitting by the river, or swimming in the river,¡± Howell said.The historic Inn opened in 1911 and also boasts historic golfing."We have golf on an island in the middle of the Delaware River,¡± Howell said. ¡°When you cross the bridge, you¡¯re immersed in golf. Sam Sneed, Arnold Palmer, Walter Hagen, it has a storied history.¡±There are also hikes on the Appalachian Trail, river trips, or just fresh air on a patio.If your kids are craving a water park, there's the Howl N'Learn option at Great Wolf Lodge. For now, five of its 19 locations are offering a "schoolcation."¡°The parents who when they¡¯re at home with their kids really don¡¯t get a break to focus on their work,¡± Great Wolf Lodge communication director Jason Lasecki said. ¡°We gave them the opportunity to put them in this independent learning center and then the parents can go off and take those conference calls and do those work things that they¡¯re not able to do when they¡¯re doing the remote learning with their kids.¡±Lasecki says they realized last spring that parents were having a hard time making it all happen.¡°When you¡¯re done with your school, you¡¯ve got the water park there,¡± Lasecki said. ¡°You can go have fun in the water park that afternoon even if it's the day of your check out. You can stay and play in the water park until it closes that night so you¡¯ve got all those fun activities at Great Wolf that you can take advantage of.¡± 3196

WASHINGTON ¡ª A group of prominent Christians from both sides of the aisle, including a past faith adviser to former President Barack Obama, is forming a political action committee designed to chip away at Christian support for President Donald Trump. The new super PAC is called Not Our Faith. It plans to roll out six-figure TV and digital ads focused on Christian voters, particularly the evangelical and Catholic voters who helped power Trump to victory in 2016. Its first digital ad in Michigan and Pennsylvania takes sharp aim at Trump¡¯s claim to a foothold with Christians. The ad was shared with The Associated Press before its release. 651

Volkswagen has been fined another €800 million (6 million) over its diesel emissions scandal, this time because of failings at its Audi subsidiary.Volkswagen said Tuesday it accepted the fine imposed by German prosecutors, waving its right to appeal. It said the penalty would hit earnings this year."As a negative special item, [it will] reduce the group earnings for fiscal year 2018 accordingly," it said in a statement.The penalty by Munich prosecutors is just the latest consequence of the scandal that emerged in 2015 and initially wiped out billions off the company's value.Volkswagen admitted cheating on clean air rules with software that made emissions look less toxic than they actually were.The fine concludes the Munich prosecutors' investigation into the company. However, probes into executives, including Audi's former CEO Rupert Stadler, continue, the prosecutors said.The €800 million fine comprises a €5 million penalty for administrative offenses, the maximum allowed under German law.On top of that, prosecutors ordered Volkswagen to repay €795 million they said the company made from the cheating. The prosecutors said this included profits from the sales of affected vehicles.In this case, the diesel emissions cheating affected nearly 5 million cars sold by the Volkswagen group in Europe and the United States, prosecutors said. Specifically, it concerned V6 and V8 diesel engines manufactured by Audi and installed in Audi, Volkswagen and Porsche brands, and Audi vehicles equipped with EA 189 and EA 288 engine made by Volkswagen.Shares in Volkswagen (VLKAF) and Audi (AUDVF) were trading higher on Tuesday. Volkswagen stock is down 11 percent so far this year. 1699
