NEWS via @CBSNews: An Iranian drone attack in Kuwait that killed U.S. service members in the early hours of the war with Iran was more severe than previously known, with dozens suffering injuries that included brain trauma, shrapnel trauma and burns, per sources. More than 30 remained in hospitals yday with battle injuries — one at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, 12 at Walter Reed, and about 25 at Landstuhl in Germany, sources said.  Of those, about 20 arrived on a C-17 military transport aircraft at Landstuhl on Tuesday with injuries the military designated as “urgent” and requiring evacuation. More than 100 medical personnel were sent to Landstuhl to assist. Report here from @ellee_watson @JimLaPorta and me. cbsnews.com/news/strike-in…

We obtained footage showing a man who appeared to be refugee Nurul Amin Shah Alam being dropped off by Border Patrol outside a Buffalo coffee shop after 8pm. The shop locks its door at 7pm. He never made it inside, and was found dead five days later: wapo.st/3OCwNx8

@BtcLabe @Tesla @elonmusk Hi, hope you are doing okay. Layla here with CBS News. Could you send me a DM please? Thanks so much.

@Tesla @elonmusk I had my CyberTruck FSD engaged when this truck was going the wrong way. My CyberTruck pulled off to the left and saved my life. I then pursued the truck. I hailed the police and the illegal trucker was pulled over. Thank you Tesla!

@HollyKesler Thank you for letting me know, Holly!

Thank you for reaching out. Fortunately, I wasn't on this flight, though I know some who were and at the airport—I'd just returned home. Feel free to use these details. I have no further comments beyond my relief that everyone is okay and the pilot acted diligently. That said, if you ever need commentary on U.S. elections or the Islamic takeover in the U.S., I'd be happy to join and discuss. Thanks again!

Savannah - Hilton Head International ✈️🔥 What a relief and a huge shoutout to the incredible pilot and crew of Delta Flight DL1067—engines blew during takeoff en route to Atlanta—but they expertly looped back and landed everyone safely. The howling winds today have continued to fuel the fires around the Savannah Airport. Grateful beyond words for their skill and calm under pressure. Heroes in the sky today! 🙏✈️

@geoffthatcher Hi Geoff, are you doing okay? Layla here with CBS News. Did you film these videos? We were hoping to share them in our news reports, as per the terms below. Thank you so much!

Impressed with the crew of @Delta 1067 as they flew us back safely after a blown engine. They even told us not to worry about the fire on the grass! Stuff happens and that’s why you fly Delta. The best trained crews in the industry. #delta #safety

As Trump pressures Iran, he's spoken of an "armada" heading for the Mideast, but there's another massive movement of American fire power in the air. cbsn.ws/4skloAP

Today, we remember and uplift the legacy of civil rights leader, humanitarian, and politician Jesse Jackson. Born to a teenage mother in Greenville, South Carolina, Jackson grew up during the era of Jim Crow.

A dresser in the Merchant's House Museum, built in 1832, has been discovered as a secret link to the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years. NY1 received an exclusive first look at the concealed passage, which runs from the second floor down to a pantry hideaway in the basement. The passageway had been known about for decades, but its purpose was unknown to historians. Museum researchers recently discovered that the builder of the Merchant’s House, Joseph Brewster, was a passionate abolitionist who built false floors in integrated abolitionist churches and created this route in his own home to aid freedom seekers. @cherylwillsny1 @MerchantsHouse

CBS News Exclusive: An internal DHS document shows that less than 14% of nearly 400,000 individuals arrested by ICE in President Trump's first year back in power had violent criminal records. It's the most detailed look yet at who ICE has arrested. cbsnews.com/news/ice-arres…

@sugatito90 Hola, espero que estés bien. Me llamo Layla y trabajo en CBS News. ¿Podrías enviarme un mensaje? Gracias.

Agentes del ICE quisieron entrar a la fuerza al Consulado de Ecuador en Minneapolis, pero funcionarios lo impidieron advirtiendo que es suelo ecuatoriano. Imaginen si los gringos aplicaban como Noboa en Embajada de México en Quito?

Since federal agents shot and killed a Minnesota ICU nurse in south Minneapolis on Saturday, top administration officials have made claims about the encounter that are contradicted by bystander video and witness testimony. cbsn.ws/4qGPVs4
