Islamic State-backed rebels have attacked a Catholic church in eastern Congo, killing at least 34 people. A civil society leader reported the death toll, while local media suggests it could be over 40. The attack took place in Komanda town, where the rebels also burned houses and shops. The military confirmed 10 fatalities. The attackers, believed to be from the Allied Democratic Force, fled before security forces arrived. Eastern Congo has faced numerous deadly attacks by armed groups, including the ADF, which has ties to the Islamic State and often targets civilians.

More than half a dozen Army bases’ names were changed in 2023 because they honored Confederate leaders. Those same bases are reverting back to their original names, this time with different namesakes who share Confederate surnames. Critics of the latest name changes argue it undermines efforts to move away from Confederate associations. The issue has long split people who favor preserving an aspect of southern heritage and those who want slavery-supporting rebels stripped of valor. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's decision to restore the names is his latest move to align with Trump’s purging of diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

U.S. troops are sharing command stations and vehicles with civilian immigration authorities at the southern U.S. border under an emergency declaration from President Donald Trump. A two-star general general leads 7,600 border troops and an assortment of helicopters and drones. He says the military has been freed from maintenance work to help apprehend immigrants, protect newly designated militarized zones and disrupt smuggling cartels. Legal experts say the strategy flouts a ban on law enforcement by the military on U.S. soil and thrusts the armed forces into a potentially politicized mission. Some immigrants are part of the U.S. fighting forces at the border.
