Trump tweets, Barry, immigration: 5 things to know for July 15th

Barry, who crossed Louisiana on Saturday as a Category 1 hurricane, is now a tropical depression. The remains of the storm are slowly moving into northern Louisiana and Arkansas. There was flooding in Louisiana, but not the epic flood that many had feared. New Orleans did not see a catastrophic storm when Barry crossed the region. Life began to return to normal in the Big Easy yesterday, and the mayor of the city announced the reopening of municipal offices today. Barry is expected to touch the lower reaches of the Mississippi River Valley through parts of Arkansas, western Tennessee and northwestern Mississippi with an additional 3 to 6 inches of rain.

Raids targeting about 2,000 undocumented immigrant families – who have received a removal order – began yesterday, said a senior Trump administration official. But it has not been confirmed that migrants have been arrested, at least in Baltimore, Chicago, or New York, immigrant rights groups told CNN. The news of the raids has scared many undocumented immigrants. They buy groceries and plan to stay at home with the lights off and the blinds closed. Some stay at home after work. Others post posters inside their homes reminding them what to do if ICE agents come along. Not knowing where to turn, they flood the direct lines of calls.

The trade war weighs heavily on China. The country's economic growth has fallen to its lowest level in nearly 30 years. China's gross domestic product grew by 6.2 percent in the last quarter, the slowest quarterly growth rate since 1992. In the previous quarter, GDP grew by 6.4 percent. Things will not improve sooner, predicts the National Bureau of Statistics of China. The country's economy will continue to face "downward pressure" in the second half, the office said. The United States and China have recently decided to resume talks in their trade dispute that has lasted for several months, but observers and companies have generally agreed that an agreement is far away.

You may never have heard of Hodan Nalayeh. The Somali-Canadian journalist was a social media star. She used her many readers to tell positive stories about her country of origin, Somalia, a country long devastated by famine and war. But she is one of 26 people killed at the end of last week during a terrorist attack at a hotel in Kismayo, a port city of Somalia. Nalayeh, 43, was born in Somalia but moved with her family to Canada at the age of six. Eight weeks ago she had returned home to die in her husband's attack. The news of her death sparked a wave of grief over social media, with many young Somalis claiming that she had inspired inspiring stories about their country. The four terrorists involved in the bomb attack were killed by security forces. Three Kenyans, three Tanzanians, two Americans and one Briton were killed.
