BALTIMORE (AP) — Even though the streets have been calm today in Baltimore, and students returned to classes, there's still some anger and anxiety hanging over the city. A few dozen protesters gathered outside the office of Baltimore's top prosecutor, calling for swift justice in the case of Freddie Gray -- a black man who suffered critical injuries while in police custody. An overnight curfew goes back into effect at 10 p.m. with about 3,000 National Guardsmen and police in the city to help enforce it.

HOUSTON (AP) — Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says 11 million immigrants who are in the country illegally should have an opportunity to stay. The Republican White House prospect waded into the immigration debate today for the second time in two days -- this time at the National Christian Hispanic Leadership Conference in Houston. He appeared in Puerto Rico yesterday. Speaking in both English and Spanish, he said that a successful immigration overhaul is more than simply strengthening the border.
