Customs and Border Protection says it# should hav.. to start refunding invalidated tariffs# to hundreds of thousands of companies.
In a filing today, CBP told the Court# of International Trade that it couldn't## immediately comply with the judge's# order to refund the tariffs after## the U.S.
Supreme Court recently ruled# them illegal.
Many large companies,## including Costco, FedEx and Kohl's, have# sued the Trump administration for refunds.## Some have pledged to pass on any# compensation directly to customers.
Potentially dangerous storms are rolling# across the Central U.S.
with forecasters## warning of possible tornadoes across multiple# states.
More than seven million Americans from## Texas to Iowa are at a higher risk# of severe weather.
More heavy rain## and strong thunderstorms will stretch# into the Upper Midwest.
By tomorrow,## the risk will shift as far south as the# Gulf Coast and to the Eastern Great Lakes.
Authorities in Oklahoma say the storms have# already claimed the lives of two people.
A police## official there says a car crash involving a mother# and daughter appeared to be tornado-related.
Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales of# Texas is vowing to finish out his term## after announcing he won't seek reelection.
The# third-term congressman faced increasing pressure## after admitting to an affair with a staffer# who later took her own life.
Just yesterday,## House Speaker Mike Johnson and the Republican# leadership had called on him to withdraw,## and the House Ethics Committee had# launched an investigation into his conduct.
On Wall Street today, stocks limped to the end# of a week marked by war, economic concerns,## and rising oil prices.
The Dow Jones industrial# average lost around 450 points on the day.
The## Nasdaq fell roughly 360 points.
The S&P 500# closed out its worst week since last October.
Tributes have been pouring in following the# passing of civil rights activist Bernard## Lafayette.
The Florida native is best# known to history for his work in Selma,## Alabama, where he laid the groundwork for# the voter registration campaign there that## culminated with the passage of# the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Lafayette was also arrested during# his time as a Freedom Rider,## and he helped found the Student Nonviolent# Coordinating Committee.
His ties to the civil## rights movement ran deep.
Lafayette was# seminary roommates with civil rights icon## and future Congressman John Lewis.
He also# helped lead Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
's## Poor People's Campaign in 1968 and was with# King on the morning of his assassination.
In later years, Lafayette spoke# to the PBS program "American## Experience" about the importance of# Dr.
King's legacy of nonviolence.
BERNARD LAFAYETTE, Civil Rights Leader:# We always took the position that,## when we were faced with an avalanche of# violence, that we had to respond with## a macro nonviolence, and that somehow# we couldn't let violence rule the day.
GEOFF BENNETT: Lafayette's son said he died## Thursday morning of a heart attack.# Bernard Lafayette was 85 years old.
And thousands gathered in Chicago# today to pay their respects to the## late Reverend Jesse Jackson.
Choirs and# gospel singers provided the soundtrack## to a public celebration of life for the# late civil rights leader.
The event was## part of a series of memorials, including# in South Carolina, where Jackson was born.
Former President Barack Obama spoke# about Jackson's immense gifts for## creating racial progress in American politics and## how Jackson's two campaigns for# president helped inspire his own.
BARACK OBAMA, Former President of the United# States: And it was because of that path that## he had laid, because of his courage, his audacity# that two decades later a young Black senator from## Chicago's South Side would even be taken seriously# as a candidate for the presidential nomination.
GEOFF BENNETT: Obama was one of three# former presidents to speak today.## He was followed in his remarks by Joe# Biden and Bill Clinton.
All three men## knew Jackson personally and spoke about their# relationships and the example that he set.
JOE BIDEN, Former President of the United States:# Jesse kept hope alive for us in his lifetime,## and we have got a continue to do it# in our lifetime for our children,## because there's nothing beyond our capacity when# we work together, nothing, nothing, nothing.
BILL CLINTON, Former President of the United# States: He was always trying to lift people up.## So I'm here more as a friend than a former# president.
He was my friend when I needed him.
(APPLAUSE) GEOFF BENNETT: Former Vice President# Kamala Harris also spoke today about## how Jackson inspired her as a student# and later early in her legal career.## The Reverend Jesse Jackson died# last month.
He was 84 years old.
