A brush fire driven by California's prolonged drought continues to threaten coastal Orange County homes on Friday and has forced hundreds to evacuate as the fire remains just 15% contained.
Concerns loom that embers may restart the fire in the coming days as Southern California is expected to be plagued by abnormally high temperatures through early next week.
The fire, which has grown to about 200 acres, began Wednesday afternoon in the Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness park and quickly spread to the city of Laguna Niguel -- home to some of California's wealthiest neighborhoods -- according to Orange County Fire Authority Assistant Chief of Field Operations TJ McGovern.
President Joe Biden warned against a streak of “semi-isolationism” in the US as he stressed the importance of alliances during a symbolic visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery on Sunday, honoring the thousands of Americans who died in World War I at a site former President Donald Trump skipped during a 2018 visit to Paris.
Looking to shore up Latino votes in Nevada and Arizona for his reelection campaign, President Joe Biden is on the verge of soon following up last week’s executive action aimed at curbing border crossings with another move focused on providing legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants married to American citizens and without criminal records.
