WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton is promising to expand upon President Barack Obama's executive actions on immigration if she's elected president. In a speech at the League of United Latin American Citizens' national convention, Clinton says she will put a comprehensive immigration bill before Congress in her first 100 days of office. She says she will create a "simple, straight forward system" in which people with sympathetic cases or a history of serving their communities can make their case and become eligible for deferred action.

Gingrich later posted on Facebook that he would hold a live chat at 2 p.m. Eastern time about the "vice presidential picks and the VP selection process."
DALLAS (AP) — A preliminary federal report finds that a train crew failed to obey a stop signal before the train barreled head-on into another freight train last month in Texas. Inspectors for the National Transportation Safety Board say a BNSF Railway train was traveling about 65 miles an hour when it passed the stop signal. Three people were killed in the June 28 collision northeast of Amarillo, which triggered a fireball and caused containers and cars to tumble onto one another in a pileup.
DETROIT (AP) — Consumer Reports magazine is calling on electric car maker Tesla Motors to change the name of its Autopilot semi-autonomous driving system. The magazine says calling the system Autopilot promotes a dangerous assumption that Teslas can drive themselves. It also says the automatic steering should be disconnected until it's updated to make sure a driver's hands stay on the wheel at all times. The calls come after a man died in a May crash with the Autopilot on. Tesla says it has no plans to change the name.
