SAN DIEGO (AP) — The U.S. Border Patrol has, at the last minute, canceled a plan to fly migrants from south Texas to California for processing. Two flights on Monday would have transported some 280 Central American migrants, and the flights were to have continued every three days. The government has been struggling to cope with a surge of Central Americans entering Texas' Rio Grande Valley. The Border Patrol has made more than 174,000 arrests since October.

EL CAJON, Calif. (AP) — An Iraqi immigrant could get life in prison for beating his wife to death in El Cajon, California. The case was first thought to be a hate crime when in 2012, Shaima Alawadi's daughter found a note near her mother's body that said "This is my country, go back to yours, you terrorist." Investigators later determined that the note was photocopied and possibly planted. Kassim Alhimidi (ahl-huh-MEE'-dee) is scheduled to be sentenced Monday.
