FIRST ON FOX:The Trump administration is proposing to slash Biden-era truck emissions regulations in a move officials say would save the trucking industry about $12 billion and ease supply chain costs that make everyday goods more expensive for Americans.

“Collectively, these savings will be passed on to American families through lower costs for food, household goods, and other products trucks deliver, while still maintaining strong environmental protections and ensuring clean air,” read the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) press release first viewed by Fox News Digital.

The EPA has proposed changes to heavy-duty truck emissions rules that would save truckers an estimated $12 billion, including up to $6,000 per new truck, helping lower transportation costs and prices for American families.

The proposal would eliminate DEF-related engine deratements and speed restrictions for new highway engines and vehicles, as well as new nonroad engines and equipment, including farm machinery, replacing them with warning alerts so operators can keep working until repairs can be made safely.

Previous policies “make delivering everything more expensive and so that’s going to all be passed on to the consumer as well. By making these trucks cheaper and more reliable, we are making sure that the supply chain stays as cheap as possible for the American people,” EPA air chief Aaron Szabo told Fox News Digital in an interview.

The proposal would also reduce costly emissions warranty requirements from the 2023 rule while keeping nearly 90% of the planned NOx emissions reductions and giving manufacturers more time and flexibility to meet the updated standards.

Szabo said the proposal addresses a major problem caused by DEF system failures, which can force trucks and farm equipment into “limp mode” by reducing their speed to just five miles per hour.

He said with more than 200 possible failure codes, the deratements can leave truckers stranded on the side of the road and farmers losing hours—or even days—of productivity during critical work like harvesting.

“We’re both making the products more reliable and decreasing the impact from DEF. And we’re also bringing down the price of the whole supply chain by reducing the cost of these new trucks,” Szabo said.

Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins told Fox News Digital in a statement that the issue has “shown the true cost of government overreach.”

“Our rural communities rely on diesel powered engines to deliver their food, families, electricity, and so much more to where it needs to go. The billions in savings will directly benefit those who feed, fuel, and clothe our nation,” Rollins said.

The latest proposal follows Trump’s broader pledge to roll back Biden-era green regulations after he returned to office.

“We will terminate the Green New Deal, revoke the electric vehicle mandate, and unleash American energy,” Trump said in his inaugural speech.

Szabo said the Biden administration tried to push Americans into electric trucks with rules it enforced.

“That’s what the Biden administration was doing. They were forcing people to not have choice anymore, taking away their freedom to choose what kind of vehicle and telling them you have to buy an electric vehicle,” he added.

Schiff launches inquiry into DOJ’s closure of probe into Abbott Labs over bacterial contamination at baby formula plant

July 9, 2026 / 3:05 PM EDT / CBS News

Washington— California Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff is launching a congressional inquiry into why the Justice Department shuttered a long-running criminal investigation into Cronobacter bacterial contamination at an Abbott Laboratories plant that made baby formula.

In a July 8 letter to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche reviewed by CBS News, Schiff said he is seeking answers about why senior DOJ officials did not follow prosecutors’ advice to pursue felony charges against the company and several of its executives.

“Under your management, DOJ does not consider a case involving deadly risks to medically sensitive infants, after a recommendation of a felony charge, to be worthy of criminal prosecution,” Schiff wrote.

“If prosecuting cases involving the risk of injuries or death to premature infants are not a priority enforcement matter, I have questions about what priorities the DOJ considers worthy of pursuing,” he added.

A Justice Department spokesperson confirmed receiving the letter from Schiff’s office.

In 2022, Abbott Laboratories recalled several of its popular powdered formula brands, including Similac, after consumers complained about infant illness related to products from Abbott Nutrition, in Sturgis, Michigan. The FDA in March said five infants had to be hospitalized due to reported bacterial infections which it said “may have contributed to death in two patients.”

In a statement, the company told CBS News that “no unopened, distributed Abbott infant formulas have ever tested positive for Cronobacter sakazakii” and said the Food and Drug Administration also separately confirmed in March 2022 that “the unopened product from homes of the infants under investigation at the time of the 2022 recall tested negative for Cronobacter.”

Further, Abbott said that in four of the cases, open containers of formula were tested, and three of the four were negative for Cronobacter. It said the fourth was positive for two strains of Cronobacter sakazakii, one of which was the same strain that caused the infection in the infant. But neither of the two strains was found at the Sturgis plant.

Abbott also said that it learned a year later, in March 2023, that Cronobacter sakazakii was found on breast pump parts in the home of one of the four cases.

Federal prosecutors wanted to pursue felony charges in the case, and they had the support of Tysen Duva, the assistant attorney general of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, according to sources with knowledge of the matter.

However, senior DOJ leadership ordered the case closed, the sources added. The Justice Department is working on a civil settlement with the company in a parallel False Claims Act case, according to a public May 12 docket entry, but no details have been made public.

A senior DOJ official told CBS News that the department believed that a civil False Claims Act resolution was “the best mechanism to achieve accountability, deterrence and protection of the public” in the matter.

The official added that the agreement reached in principle with Abbott includes a “significant” monetary penalty, and said that Abbott’s plans to possibly build a new $1 billion facility in Ohio played no role in its decision to drop the criminal investigation.

The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on the closure of the case. Bloomberg Government previously reported on Duva’s efforts to keep the case alive, and how the case has sparked broader concerns about a retreat of corporate prosecutions involving public health and safety.

A federal law known as the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act prohibits the sale, distribution or manufacturing of counterfeit, adulterated or misbranded drugs and medical devices, as well as food, supplements and cosmetics.

The law allows prosecutors to bring misdemeanor charges against companies and individuals under a strict liability standard, meaning they do not need to prove a defendant knowingly violated the law. But historically, the Justice Department has focused its efforts on investigating felony violations of the law.

In the public False Claims Act case, which was filed by numerous states and joined by the Justice Department, the company is accused of lying about the conditions under which the formula was manufactured to federal and state regulators.

“Abbott repeatedly lied to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (‘USDA’) and State agencies when it represented that it produced powder infant formula under conditions that complied with U.S. Food and Drug Administration … rules,” DOJ lawyers wrote in a February 2026 filing after the company asked a federal judge to dismiss the case.

“None of the misplaced arguments in Abbott’s motion can turn a years-long and widespread failure to manufacture compliant powder infant formula into a ‘regulatory disagreement’ or ‘record-keeping’ error.”

Schiff, in his letter to the Justice Department, pointed to some of the language in those court filings and questioned the department’s decision not to pursue a criminal case.

“For such serious allegations, a DOJ dedicated to enforcing the law — regardless of the political affiliation of its Attorney General — would likely insist on criminal charges and a civil penalty, not simply a settlement that is a cost of business for a corporation,” Schiff wrote.

He also raised questions in his letter about the fact that the company is represented by the law firm Kirkland & Ellis, which was one of the firms that struck a deal with the administration to provide pro-bono legal services to pro-Trump causes last year.

An attorney at Kirkland & Ellis who represents the company did not respond to a request for comment.

In his letter, Schiff asked Blanche to respond to a series of questions about the case, including whether he had personally reviewed it.

Schiff, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, will have an opportunity to ask the acting attorney general about the Abbott Labs case in person on July 15 — that’s when Blanche is scheduled to appear before the panel for his confirmation hearing to be attorney general.

SEE IT: ICE agents pause arrest operation to save woman in rollover crash

DHS officials praised the Milwaukee-area officers after they freed the pinned driver at 20th Street and Cleveland Avenue

By Charles Creitz Fox News

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

EXCLUSIVE: Quick-thinking Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Wisconsin who were preparing to conduct an arrest operation dropped everything to rush to the scene of a nearby rollover crash, saving a woman trapped inside her car, Fox News Digital has learned.

ICE agents have been maligned as “fascist” and “inhumane” by critics, while recent incidents have highlighted officers rescuing people in danger, including a case in which an agent leaped into a hotel pool to save a drowning child.

On June 29, agents were in the Milwaukee area preparing to make an arrest when one officer involved heard the sound of a car crash and hurried to investigate.

A car ran a stoplight at 20th Street and Cleveland Avenue, colliding with another vehicle. The impact caused one of the vehicles to roll over and crash into a light pole, pinning the 31-year-old woman inside.

The agent then contacted the rest of his team and told them to call 911 and come over to help free the woman in the interim.

Working as a team, the agents were able to remove the woman from the mangled car and render first aid until emergency medical technicians arrived.

“Our best of the best ICE officers put their lives on the line to arrest the worst of the worst,” a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital following the incident.

Acting Assistant DHS Secretary Lauren Bis said ICE agents like those involved, who remained anonymous, including in exclusive images, for their safety, exemplify the best in federal law enforcement.

“Despite smears and hoaxes spread by sanctuary politicians and the media, our officers put their lives on the line to make our communities safer,” Bis said. “They are heroes.”

“If you see an ICE law enforcement officer, thank them for all they do to protect our nation.”

In another case this year, while ICE agents were assisting TSA agents during the Democrats’ DHS shutdown, one ICE agent performed the Heimlich maneuver on a choking child, saving the child’s life.

Trump’s proposed arch needs structural revisions to earn final approval, planning commission says

July 9, 2026 / 3:55 PM EDT / CBS News

By Sophia Vlahakis

President Trump’s 250-foot proposed Triumphal Arch would require structural revisions to earn final approval, the National Planning Commission said Thursday.

The proposed Memorial Circle monument has a 166-foot mezzanine and 24-foot observation level, with a 60-foot statue of Lady Liberty on top. This would violate the 1910 Heights of Buildings Act, which seeks to preserve the Washington, D.C. skyline by limiting buildings to 130 feet, according to the National Planning Commission. The Department of Interior argued the act “does not apply to federal buildings” in a June memo.

The NCPC, however, said it “has historically held that the Height of Buildings Act is binding on federal buildings, and NCPC has consistently applied that position.”

The commission offered a compromise, suggesting the mezzanine and observation level be decreased to 130 feet and 20 feet, respectively. The remaining 40 feet could be added back to the statue. Under this proposal, Lady Liberty would be 100-feet tall, and the overall arch would still amass to 250 feet.

If construction goes forward as proposed, the arch would dwarf the 99-foot Lincoln Memorial, which is across the bridge. It would also be roughly 30 feet taller than the Plaza de la República in Mexico City, currently the largest arch in the world.

The arch has faced significant public criticism, which was on display as witnesses spoke for well over an hour at the meeting. A variety of reasons from public process to cultural presentation were cited, including passionate appeals about how the visual obstruction of Arlington Cemetery is offensive.

“My concern is not with commemoration itself, but with this specific proposal, its location, its scale, and its impact on a historic memorial landscape,” said Cynthia Morrison, a Gold Star mother. “The open space between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery is not just empty land. It is deliberately designed and historically significant memorial vista.”

blob:https://www.cbsnews.com/38c04383-98d6-4ffa-890b-5ccfd7da5dac

Michael Lemmon, a Vietnam veteran and plaintiff in the lawsuit against the arch, advocated for “a careful review by concerned stakeholders” such as residents, veterans, historians and legislators and raised concerns about how the arch may impede ceremonies, burials and visits to Arlington.

“As a combat veteran, I feel a duty to protect the memory and honor the sacrifice of my comrades and all those buried there,” Lemmon said, “This vainglorious monumental arch does neither.”

While the commission, chaired by Trump White House aide Will Scharf, did not pose any substantive challenges to the arch, it did leave a few stipulations.

Critics of the arch have also expressed concerns about the flight path to nearby Ronald Reagan National Airport.

Any recommendations by the Federal Aviation Administration must be incorporated, and the FAA still needs to conduct a full aeronautical study before construction.

The NCPC is asking for revisions to plans for pedestrian accessibility and lighting, as well. The commission is concerned the 32 proposed traffic poles will create clutter and about the brightness from eight 14-to-20-foot tall stanchions.

There is no date set for final review of the site and building plans. According to National Park Service documents filed to the federal registrar last month, federal officials are seeking an aggressive work schedule that would require 20 hours a day of construction over two years.

While many of D.C.’s monuments are constructed in natural stone such as marble and limestone, the arch is set to be built from concrete and finished with granite.

Man accused of shooting two National Guard members hospitalized after refusing to eat in jail

The man accused of shooting two National Guard members, killing one, in Washington, DC, in 2025 has been admitted to a city hospital after he refused to eat and sometimes drink in jail as he awaits trial.

During an emergency hearing Thursday, DC federal Judge Amit Mehta said Rahmanullah Lakanwal’s “health has deteriorated quite substantially.”

“Mr. Lakanwal’s health circumstances,” Mehta said, “is in some sense self-inflicted.”

Mehta added that Lakanwal has refused food and “sometimes water.”

According to prosecutors, Lakanwal was admitted to George Washington University Hospital at midnight. They say they were advised by the US Marshal Service of general health issues the defendant faced two weeks ago.

During the emergency hearing, Mehta said he would allow prosecutors to see Lakanwal’s medical records from the past 24 hours. Those records, prosecutors said, have been under seal and will help guide them on what the next steps should be.

Lakanwal, who traveled from Washington state to the capital city in late November before he allegedly ambushed the two officers, pleaded not guilty to the nine charges against him — including first-degree murder — in February.

Sarah Beckstrom, one of the National Guard members who was shot in the back of the head, was pronounced dead the next day. The other member, Andrew Wolfe, survived the attack.

Lakanwal worked with the CIA for over a decade in Afghanistan before the US military withdrew from the country. He came to the US in 2021.

The Justice Department has said it plans to seek the death penalty against Lakanwal.

伊朗同阿曼与土耳其通话 阿曼反对征收海峡通行费

伊朗外长阿拉格齐分别与阿曼和土耳其外长通话，讨论区域局势，特别是霍尔木兹海峡的最新局势发展。

路透社引述伊朗外交部星期四（7月9日）的声明说，各方强调需要利用外交渠道防止局势升级。

另据彭博社报道，阿曼对联合国航运机构国际海事组织说，不支持在霍尔木兹海峡征收通行费。这一立场可能使阿曼与伊朗出现分歧，后者正推动向过境货船收取费用。

阿曼在国际海事组织的一次会议上说：“阿曼重申，用于国际航行的海峡过境通行权受国际法保障。阿曼完全致力于这些法律原则，不支持对通过霍尔木兹海峡的船舶征收通行费。”

阿曼在国际海事组织上的表态，似乎更接近航运业、中东非伊朗能源生产大国，以及西方国家支持的立场。不过，阿曼同时指出，有理由探讨与航行支持服务相关的安排，这些安排可提升海上安全、安保和环境保护。

自2月底伊朗战争爆发以来，德黑兰一直主张对霍尔木兹海峡的控制权，并试图迫使船只走靠近伊朗海岸、位于航道北侧的路线。美国则支持一条靠近阿曼的替代航线。

阿曼说，任何收费安排都将参照其他地区做法，并遵循国际规范。

阿曼称：“这类安排可借鉴国际最佳实践，以及其他具有战略重要性的海上走廊的成功经验。”

因应台风巴威 官方对浙江福建启动地质灾害防御三级响应

随着超强台风“巴威”的逼近，中国官方对浙江福建启动地质灾害防御三级响应。

央视新闻客户端星期四（7月9日）引述中国气象部门预测，受今年第九号台风“巴威”（超强台风级） 影响，浙江南部、福建东北部等部分地区在星期四五至下星期一（7月10日至13日）的累计降雨量达150至300毫米，浙江东南部、福建东北部局地500至600毫米。

中国自然资源部地质灾害技术指导中心组织专家研判，受这次台风降雨过程影响，上述地区发生地质灾害的风险高。自然资源部于星期四晚上7时对浙江、福建启动地质灾害防御三级响应，并派工作组赴浙江、福建现场指导防御应对工作。

据央视新闻星期四消息，根据台风“巴威”防范应对保障需要，中国国家防灾减灾救灾委员会办公室、应急管理部会同国家粮食和物资储备局向浙江、福建调拨折叠床、夏凉被、家庭应急包等五万件中央救灾物资，全力支持做好群众避险转移和安置救助工作。

船只在霍尔木兹海峡遇袭 卡塔尔暂停液化天然气增产计划

卡塔尔暂停迅速恢复全球最大液化天然气设施产能的计划，因为旗下一艘液化天然气运输船在霍尔木兹海峡遇袭，加剧对这条关键航道通行风险的担忧。

彭博社引述知情人士说，卡塔尔能源公司的高层在星期二（7月7日）袭击事件发生后召开一系列会议，首席执行官萨阿德·卡比（Saad Al-Kaabi）决定暂停提高拉斯拉凡（Ras Laffan）综合体产量的计划。

部分知情人士称，出于安全考虑，该设施将维持最低限度运营，未来几天计划靠泊工厂的船舶数量也将减少。

这是本周局势升级带来的最受关注的影响之一。霍尔木兹海峡附近多艘船舶接连遭袭，美国又连续两天对伊朗发动空袭。

美国总统特朗普星期三（8日）甚至提及再次爆发全面战争的可能性，这对于正逐步从冲突影响中恢复的中东能源生产商而言将是最坏的情形。

卡塔尔能源公司未立即作出回应。
