Hurricane Erin has battered North Carolina’s Outer Banks with strong winds and waves, flooding part of the main highway and surging under beachfront homes. The unusually large hurricane slowly began to move away from the East Coast on Thursday. Forecasters say it will slowly weaken over the next few days while turning farther out to sea. The menacing waves closed beaches from the Carolinas to New York City on Thursday. Along the North Carolina shoreline, the storm breached sand dunes on Hatteras Island and damaged one waterfront motel. But it appears the low-lying islands dodged widespread destruction during its initial brush with Erin on Wednesday.

The number of people in the United States illegally surged to an all-time high of 14 million in 2023, a research group said Thursday, a major increase that still falls well short of estimates from President Donald Trump and some critics of immigration. The Pew Research Center's closely watched gauge rose from 11.8 million a year earlier and surpassed the previous high of 12.2 million in 2007. The increase was driven by some 6 million who were in the country with some form of legal protection. Trump has stripped many of those protections since taking office in January. Pew, whose estimates date back to 1990, said that, while 2023 is its latest full analysis, preliminary findings show the number rose in 2024, though at a slower rate after then-President Joe Biden severely restricted asylum at the border in June of that year. The number dropped this year under Trump, but is still likely above 14 million. The overall U.S. immigrant population, regardless of legal status, reached an all-time high of more than 53 million in January 2025, accounting for a record 15.8% of the U.S. population. The number has since dropped, which Pew said would be the first time it has shrunk since the 1960s. While the findings are unlikely to settle debate, Pew's report is one of the most complete attempts to measure illegal immigration. Nearly all the increase came from countries other than Mexico. Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and India accounted for the largest numbers after Mexico. Totals from Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Ukraine and Peru each more than doubled in two years. Trump said in an address to Congress in March that 21 million people “poured into the United States” during the previous four years, far exceeding estimates from Pew and what figures on border arrests suggest. The Federation for American Immigration Reform, a group largely aligned with his policies, estimated 18.6 million in March. The Center for Immigration Studies, a group that favors immigration restrictions, reported that there were 14.2 million people in the U.S. illegally last month, down from a peak of 15.8 million in January. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem touted the reported drop of 1.6 million in six months. “This is massive,” she said in a press release last week. Noem's own department, through its Office of Homeland Security Statistics, estimates there were 11 million people in the U.S. illegally in 2022, its most recent count. The Center for Migration Studies, author of another closely watched survey, most recently pegged the number at 12.2 million in 2022, topping its previous high of 12 million in 2008. Pew's findings, based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau survey and Department of Homeland Security, reflect an increase in people crossing the border illegally to exercise rights to seek asylum and Biden-era policies to grant temporary legal status. Those policies included a border appointment system called CBP One and permits for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans. Trump has ended those policies and also sought to reverse Biden's expansion of Temporary Protected Status for people already in the United States whose countries are deemed unsafe to return to. Mexicans were the largest nationality among people in the country illegally, a number that grew slightly to 4.3 million in 2023. The increase came almost entirely from other countries, totaling 9.7 million, up from 6.4 million two years earlier. States with the largest numbers of people in the country illegally were, in order, California, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey and Illinois, though Texas sharply narrowed its gap with California. Even with the increases in recent years, six states had smaller numbers in 2023 than in the previous peak in 2007: Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, New York and Oregon. Pew estimated that a record 9.7 million people without legal status were in the workforce, or about 5.6% of the U.S. labor force in 2023, with Nevada, Florida, New Jersey and Texas having the largest shares.

A former top aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams is among seven people facing new charges in the corruption investigation that has swirled around City Hall for two years. Prosecutors in Manhattan announced the new charges on Thursday. Adams himself has not been charged, but the case thrusts the corruption allegations that have dogged the Democrat back into focus while he runs for reelection. Among those facing new charges is Adams’ former chief of staff and closest confidant, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, her son Glenn D. Martin, former state Sen. Jesse Hamilton and two of Adams’ political donors, siblings Tony and Gina Argento.

The European Commission will keep pressing for a preferential tariff for wine and spirits exports to the U.S. that would spare the sector the 15% rate applied on most items under the EU-U.S. trade deal, the EU's trade commissioner said on Thursday. "This one we didn't get in. But I can tell you that there is clear commitment from the European Commission to put it on the table," Maros Sefcovic said when asked if a preferential rate for the sector had been secured. Sefcovic spoke after the European Union and the U.S. detailed commitments made in the deal reached last month, which includes a 15% U.S. tariff on most imports from the bloc, including autos, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors and lumber. The same rate also applies to EU wine and spirits exports, despite industry efforts to get a lower, or even zero rate. That means U.S. buyers of French Champagne, Irish whiskey and Italian Prosecco could face significant price rises, with the tariffs impacting some $10 billion worth of alcoholic beverage imports each year, analysts say. Brands affected include Diageo's Guinness beer and Pernod Ricard's Jameson Irish whiskey. The Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, an industry group representing spirits producers and marketers, has called for permanent zero tariffs by both sides and expressed disappointment that no preferential rate had been agreed. "Without a permanent return to zero-for-zero tariffs on spirits, American distillers do not have the certainty to plan for future export and job growth without the fear of retaliatory tariffs returning," it said. It added that it was "determined to continue engaging with the Trump administration to urge for additional negotiations". That message was echoed by Herve Dumesny, director general of European industry group spiritsEUROPE. "We urge both sides to remain at the negotiating table and deliver a swift, full return to zero-for-zero," Dumesny said. "This means reaffirming the support for our sector across the Atlantic by removing U.S. tariffs on EU spirits and lifting any suspended EU retaliatory measures on U.S. products." The EU announced a six-month suspension of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports, including distilled spirits and wine, on August 5, according to the U.S. spirits council.

Parts of the nation’s capital now look like occupied territory as President Donald Trump’s law-enforcement crackdown expands. Massive military transport vehicles dot the city and arrests are up by about 20%, not including the immigrants being taken away for deportation. Meanwhile, Trump's efforts to secure his power against a midterm voter backlash enters its next phase with California Democrats scheduled Thursday to pass a new congressional map for voters to consider that would create five more winnable seats for their party. It's a direct counter to the Republicans working to impose a new map on Texas voters at Trump's request.

Texas’ House of Representatives is approving a new map that creates up to five new, winnable congressional seats for the GOP. The map passed Wednesday after a push by President Donald Trump for Republican-controlled states to redraw their legislative maps to give his party a better chance of holding onto control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the midterm elections. The maps must be approved by Texas’ Republican-controlled Senate and Gov. Greg Abbott before they become official. The new maps are likely to trigger revised maps in California to create new Democratic-leaning seats later this week. Those would need to be approved by voters before becoming official.

An appeals court has thrown out the massive civil fraud penalty against President Donald Trump but upheld other punishments, such as banning Trump and his two eldest sons from serving in corporate leadership for a few years. A five-judge panel ruled Thursday in New York state’s lawsuit accusing the businessman-turned-politician of exaggerating his wealth. The decision came seven months after the Republican returned to the White House. The decision in New York’s mid-level Appellate Division altered a verdict that stood to cost Trump more than $515 million and rock his real estate empire. Trump denies wrongdoing and says the case and the verdict were political moves by Democrats. The New York attorney general's office hadn't commented.
