(CNN) — As the suspect accused of killing two promising doctoral students in Florida faces murder charges, authorities have laid out disturbing and grisly details surrounding the students’ disappearance.

Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy, both 27 and originally from Bangladesh, were last seen nearly two weeks ago. Limon’s body was found a week after they disappeared, and investigators believe Bristy was also killed.

Hisham Abugharbieh, Limon’s roommate, has been charged with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder with a weapon in the deaths of the students. He is expected in court for a status hearing Tuesday.

Prosecutors filed a motion last week to keep Abugharbieh in jail while he faces the charges, laying out a detailed timeline of how investigators think the two students may have died as well as their and the suspect’s actions around the time they went missing.

Here’s a look at what they say unfolded.

April 16: Last contact with the two students

Friends of Limon and Bristy are in touch with them during the day, but they’re unable to reach them later despite repeated attempts, according to the motion filed by prosecutors Saturday in Hillsborough County Court.

Bristy is seen on surveillance video walking on USF’s campus around midday, according to the motion. A friend speaks to Bristy and agrees to bring her eyeglasses later that evening, but Bristy doesn’t show up and doesn’t answer the friend’s calls.

Bristy and Limon speak briefly on the phone several times, according to prosecutors. Limon’s phone location shows him in the vicinity of his home and campus before going to Clearwater – roughly 32 miles from his residence – around 7:43 p.m.

Abugharbieh’s white Hyundai Genesis G80 is seen traveling in the same area within about 10 minutes of that, according to prosecutors.

Phone and traffic data show consistencies between the suspect’s and Limon’s devices’ locations throughout the night.

About 10:30 p.m., a DoorDash order for trash bags, Lysol wipes and Febreze from CVS is placed from Abugharbieh’s phone and delivered to the apartment door about half an hour later.

Limon and Abugharbieh’s other roommate sees Abugharbieh using a rolling cart to move cardboard boxes from his room to a compactor dumpster at their apartment complex, according to the motion.

April 17: Students reported missing

Abugharbieh makes two separate trips to the Howard Frankland Bridge between 1 a.m. and 4:30 a.m., according to the affidavit, citing phone and traffic data.

Shortly before, a ChatGPT search on the suspect’s phone asked “are cars checked at the Hillsborough River state park,” the affidavit said.

Meanwhile, Limon and Bristy are officially reported missing.

The next day, police search Bristy’s campus workplace and find she left personal items including her lunchbox, a MacBook, and her iPad.

A passenger on a Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Portland recently gave birth mid-air to a healthy baby girl, with two paramedics on board assisting with makeshift tools. It just goes to show that even in an era of chronic flight delays, some arrivals still come ahead of schedule.

Here’s what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day.

1⃣ Royal visit

Britain’s King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, received a warm welcome in Washington on Monday as Charles began his first state visit to the United States. The royal trip comes as the monarch looks to steady US-UK relations strained by the war in Iran. In the coming hours, Charles will deliver a joint address to Congress, where he is expected to reference Saturday’s shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and reflect on the two nations’ shared history.

2⃣ Jimmy Kimmel

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is pushing back on calls from the White House for his firing after jokingly referring to first lady Melania Trump as an “expectant widow” during a skit on his ABC show last week. “You know sometimes you wake up in the morning and the first lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job? We’ve all been there, right?” Kimmel said during his monologue on Monday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” The controversy is the first major test for Disney’s new CEO, Josh D’Amaro, as he navigates political pressure and questions over how the company handles its high-profile talent.

3⃣ Storm outbreak

Parts of the South are facing the threat of damaging winds, destructive hail and possible tornadoes today, as a multi-day severe thunderstorm outbreak enters its sixth day. At least one person has been killed and hundreds of thousands have been left without power. Read more.

4⃣ Peace talks

A new peace plan has been submitted by Iran to the US to end the war, but sources tell CNN that President Donald Trump appears unlikely to accept the proposal. Tehran’s plan would reopen the Strait of Hormuz but leave questions about its nuclear program for later negotiations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the proposal is better than expected but reiterated that the strait must be fully and freely open. Read more.

5⃣ Deportations

The Trump administration is taking steps to accelerate the deportations of migrant children in US custody amid White House pressure to quickly move kids through the system, according to administration officials and lawyers for the children. Immigration hearings, where a judge will eventually decide whether a child can stay in the US or be deported, are being moved up by weeks or even months, CNN reports. Read more.

Según funcionarios de la administración y abogados de los menores, el Gobierno de Trump está tomando medidas para acelerar las deportaciones de niños inmigrantes bajo custodia estadounidense, en medio de la presión de la Casa Blanca para que los menores sean procesados ​​rápidamente.

Las audiencias de inmigración, en las que un juez decidirá si un niño puede permanecer en Estados Unidos o ser deportado, se están adelantando semanas o incluso meses, lo que dificulta que los abogados obtengan medidas de alivio inmigratorio para los menores en un proceso que ya de por sí es engorroso.

Niños de tan solo cuatro años se ven obligados a comparecer repetidamente ante el tribunal y a informar sobre el estado de su caso, en ocasiones sin asistencia legal, en cuestión de semanas.

Las frecuentes audiencias judiciales resultan alarmantes para los menores que apenas se están familiarizando con los tribunales y el sistema de inmigración.

Según Emily Norman, directora regional para la costa este de Kids in Need of Defense, los niños suelen sentir una enorme presión y algunos se orinan encima cuando tienen que ir a juicio.

Se trata de la última de una serie de medidas para centrar la aplicación de la ley de inmigración en los menores que llegaron a Estados Unidos sin acompañantes o que han regresado a la custodia del Gobierno debido a operaciones del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) que resultaron en la detención de sus tutores.

Esta iniciativa ha generado alarma entre abogados y defensores, quienes argumentan que los plazos apresurados podrían provocar que menores vulnerables sean enviados de vuelta a las condiciones de las que huían.

“Todos ellos están, en cierto modo, confundidos, asustados y frustrados”, afirma Scott Bassett, abogado director del Programa Infantil del Centro Amica para los Derechos de los Inmigrantes.

Un niño de 5 años que llegó solo a Estados Unidos tenía programada una audiencia de inmigración para dentro de una o dos semanas.

En Texas, las audiencias de 300 niños que residían en albergues se adelantaron abruptamente, a veces con muy poco aviso.

Un caso se adelantó varias semanas, de un jueves al martes siguiente. Norman comentó que una audiencia programada para 2027 se programó repentinamente para menos de una semana después.

En declaraciones a CNN, Andrew Nixon, portavoz del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos, afirmó que el departamento “se centra en resolver los casos que involucran a menores no acompañados de la manera más rápida y eficiente posible, de conformidad con la ley”.

“Muchos de estos niños corren el riesgo de ser víctimas de trata y explotación, y en algunos casos son trasladados a través de la frontera por cárteles en condiciones peligrosas y coercitivas. Agilizar los casos ayuda a desmantelar esas redes y garantiza que los niños regresen a entornos seguros lo antes posible. Reducir el tiempo de detención también disminuye los costos para los contribuyentes y asegura que el sistema funcione según lo previsto”, agregó Nixon.

Un funcionario de la Casa Blanca declaró a CNN que la administración Trump “está trabajando para desarticular los planes de los cárteles y devolver a los niños víctimas de trata a sus hogares y familias lo más rápido posible, de forma humanitaria”.

CNN también se puso en contacto con el Departamento de Justicia, que supervisa los tribunales de inmigración del país, para obtener comentarios.

Funcionarios de la administración Trump han hablado frecuentemente sobre el paradero de menores no acompañados que ingresaron a Estados Unidos durante el mandato del expresidente Joe Biden, argumentando que miles de ellos están

(CNN) — Parts of the South are facing the threat of damaging winds, destructive hail and possible tornadoes on Tuesday, as a multi-day severe thunderstorm outbreak enters its sixth day, killing at least one person and leaving hundreds of thousands without power.

The latest rash of severe storms Monday into early Tuesday produced more than 200 reports of wind damage and large hail, especially from Missouri and northern Arkansas to Indiana. There were a few reports of tornadoes, but the ingredients to fuel the higher-end threat of twisters that was expected in the region didn’t come together.

A Level 3 of 5 risk of severe thunderstorms is in place Tuesday afternoon and evening for much of Arkansas and parts of southern Missouri, southeastern Oklahoma, northeast Texas, northern Louisiana and central and northern Mississippi. Multiple rounds of damaging winds, large hail and a few tornadoes threaten millions across a broader zone from the lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys Tuesday.

Damage in the dark

A tornado moved through several towns in Clinton County, Illinois, including Germantown and Carlyle, Monday evening. This storm damaged homes, knocked down trees and power lines and blocked roads, according to Clinton County Emergency Management Director Timothy Schleper. The American Red Cross was responding to help displaced residents. No injuries or deaths were reported, and damage assessments are expected to continue Tuesday.

Just before 11 p.m. CT, the National Weather Service in Little Rock, Arkansas, issued a Particularly Dangerous Situation tornado warning for an observed destructive tornado moving through Hanover and surrounding communities in Stone County. The tornado appeared to stay on the ground in Arkansas for about 10 miles, with debris lofted high into the air and wrapped around the back side of the storm.

The Stone County Sheriff’s Office reported damaged homes and vehicles, downed power lines and fallen trees blocking roads as emergency crews responded across the area overnight. No injuries or deaths have been reported.

Some areas in Michigan and Wisconsin saw damage from a weather phenomenon called a wake low, which is a relatively small weather system that contains a potent line of high winds. Wake lows form behind showers or thunderstorms, as one did after rain moved through the Upper Midwest on Monday morning.

A 39-year-old man was killed in Kent County in western Michigan after a tree fell on him during strong winds Monday evening, the sheriff’s office said in a news release. Friends of the man told authorities he warned them of the falling tree, an action they said saved lives, the release said.

The northern part of the county has seen downed trees and power lines but no other injuries, said Scott Dietrich, public information officer with the Kent County Sheriff’s Office.

Some structures and a trailer were also damaged after trees fell in Calhoun County in south-central Michigan, but there are no injuries reported, said Dis

(CNN) — Xavier Becerra’s rise in the California gubernatorial race was made clear in a recent debate when a rival went after him.

“Mr. Becerra, you have all these lovely plans, but there are never any numbers, any revenue plan, any details, anything that pushes on the status quo,” former Rep. Katie Porter said during a discussion on lowering housing costs.

Becerra, as he’s done for much of his campaign, cited his experience to defend himself.

“That’s very rich to hear from someone who’s never had to actually run a government,” he responded to Porter.

In the wake of former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s exit from the governor’s race, Becerra’s campaign is drawing support as a potential safe harbor for Democrats lacking a clear front-runner. Becerra offers a long record in state and federal government as well as a steady, if understated, presence amid a race shaken by scandal.

A CBS poll published Monday had Becerra at 13%, with Republican Steve Hilton at 16% and Democrat Tom Steyer at 15%. The top two finishers in the June 2 nonpartisan primary will advance to the November election.

It’s a marked shift for a candidate who for months failed to catch on. The former congressman, California attorney general and Health and Human Services secretary only qualified for last Wednesday’s Nexstar debate due to a poll released a few days prior.

The question now is how he’ll withstand increased scrutiny from voters and rivals, particularly over his record at HHS and criticism from both inside and outside former President Joe Biden’s administration.

Becerra has already faced attacks on his record from San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan and Steyer, the latter of whom released a new ad targeting Becerra.

“When you see that big of an explosion of movement towards Becerra, and there isn’t an underlying, quantifiable polling reason or explanation for it … you have to ask yourself the question, is this a durable, sustainable voting bloc?” said Mike Madrid, an anti-Trump GOP consultant based in California. “Or is it going to go away just as fast as it came?”

Becerra’s campaign announced he’d raised over $1 million in the week that ended April 18, a much-needed infusion. Last week, he was endorsed by more than a dozen state legislators, including Robert Rivas, the speaker of the State Assembly. On Friday, Becerra launched a seven-figure ad campaign.

Becerra’s campaign staff attributes his rise to smart planning and the candidate’s resume. They waited until late March to launch their initial TV ad and recently beefed up their social media operation.

Becerra argues that he’s already taken on many of the roles expected of the next governor, saying he’s balanced budgets and managed large, complex agencies as HHS secretary. As California attorney general, he sued President Donald Trump’s first administration more than 120 times.

“I’m running on my record, not on inflated promises,” Becerra told CNN earlier this month. “The experience that I bring to the table, no one has.”

But a long record can also be a gold mine for opponents. Allies say he’s a workhorse who avoids the spotlight and doesn’t care who takes the credit for wins. Critics, particularly those of his time as Health and Human Services secretary, said he wasn’t proactive enough in a critical role.

“All of them are going to work overtime to try to sully Xa
