Under pressure from political allies, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has agreed to a plan that would tighten immigration policy at the country’s borders. The Monday night compromise, a reversal from Merkel’s longtime open-border policy for refugees, reflects her efforts to hold together her coalition government in the face of growing anti-immigrant sentiment.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Monday ordered the Trump administration to end the systematic detention of asylum seekers and instead weigh on a case-by-case basis whether such immigrants pose a danger or flight risk. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ruled that administration officials were not abiding by a 2009 Immigration and Customs Enforcement directive that requires them to release, pending a judicial hearing, illegal immigrants who posed no risk and claimed a “credible fear” of persecution in their home countries.

UPDATE: Authorities charged suspected shooter Jarrod W. Ramos with five counts of first-degree murder in Thursday’s gun rampage at a Maryland newspaper office. Prosecutor Wes Adams said the attacker barricaded an exit in the newspaper office so victims couldn’t escape. Ramos allegedly used a pump-action shotgun that was purchased legally about a year ago. Police said Ramos, who appeared in court Friday via video and was denied bail, was “uncooperative” with interrogators, and court papers filed by authorities described him as “recalcitrant.”

The Supreme Court of Iowa on Friday struck down a state law that required women to wait 72 hours before undergoing an abortion procedure, overturning a lower court decision. The high court ruled 5-2 that the law violated the Iowa Constitution because the law’s “restrictions on women are not narrowly tailored to serve a compelling interest of the state.” The 72-hour waiting period was part of pro-life legislation that also protected most unborn children from abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy, a rule still in effect.

The family and attorney of Jahi McMath, the stricken teenager from Oakland, Calif., who became the center of a national controversy over brain death, say the girl died last week after complications from surgery. Jahi was 13 when she went into cardiac arrest as the result of nose and throat surgery in 2013, and the state of California issued her a death certificate after doctors declared her brain dead. But her family disputed the diagnosis, saying the girl could wiggle her fingers and toes on command.

The inspector general’s office of the Department of Health and Human Services announced Wednesday it was launching a broad review of conditions at shelters for immigrant children. The agency’s Office of Refugee Resettlement currently cares for about 12,000 immigrant children, including more than 2,000 who were separated from their parents after their families illegally crossed the U.S. southern border. The inspector general’s office said it planned to finish its probe and release a report by the end of the year.

Prosecutors in East Pittsburgh, Pa., on Wednesday charged a white police officer with criminal homicide in the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager. On June 19, East Pittsburgh Officer Michael Rosfeld pulled over a car that matched the description of a vehicle involved in a nearby drive-by shooting that had occurred 15 minutes earlier. While Rosfeld arrested the driver, 17-year-old Antwon Rose Jr. fled from the car along with a companion. Rosfeld fired several rounds, hitting Rose three times in the elbow, back, and face. The teen died from his injuries.
