From ABC News, World Headquarters, and New York, this is World News Tonight. Good evening, everyone. Thanks so much for joining us on this Sunday. I'm Linsey Davis. We begin tonight with the 4th of July travel rush and what's. expected to be the busiest travel week in 15 years. As some of the nation's airports are already. grappling with lingering delays and cancellations, of air storms forcing Delta Airlines to cancel. hundreds of flights at its largest hub in Atlanta. Travelers were temporarily stranded as other major travel.

hubs, including Dallas, DC, and Charlotte were hit. with delays, cancellations, and ground stops. Multiple tornadoes hitting Minnesota and South. Dakota this weekend. As more severe storms are on the way to the plains and. upper Midwest, our weather team is standing by. with the forecast. But first, ABC's Faith of Bubei leads us off from New. York's LaGuardia Airport. Tonight, millions on the move ahead of another potential. record-breaking holiday travel crush, AAA predicting 72 million.

Americans are expected to travel at least 50 miles from. home for 4th of July celebrations. One of the nation's biggest airlines dealt to off to a bumpy. start to the holiday getaway. Carole full storms in Atlanta, Friday, crippling. Delta's operations, causing the airline to. divert more than 90 flights to other airports. Some air traffic controllers at the world's. busiest airport evacuating due to strong winds. "The power room is, you guys have to evacuate to towers, that's correct.". Delta briefly pulling more than 100 aircraft.

for damage inspections and cancelling hundreds of flights. due to strong winds in hail. For a third day, frustrated flyers left waiting at airports. for hours. I'm very tired trying to just get some sleep. Those travel troubles now appear to ease Delta telling. ABC News that its operations were stable today with no. additional impacts expected. The FAA, anticipating this could be the busiest week in the. skies in 15 years. A majority of holiday travelers, however,

Avoiding the airports and hitting the road, more than 61. million Americans are expected to travel by car, with gas. prices dropping by $3 since last week, the lowest 4th of July. average since 2021. But severe weather could put a damper on some plants, multiple. tornadoes hitting Minnesota and South Dakota this weekend. and the air. And Lindsay, a massive test ahead for the airports and. the airlines Thursday expected to be the busiest travel day. this holiday with more than 50,000 flights in the air.

So word to the wise, try to avoid travel on Thursday. Thank you. Let's get right to meet our Rogers Danny Bexram from our. New York station, W-A-B-C. Good evening to you, Danny. Can you time this all out for us? Yeah, tonight another round firing up with parts of the. Upper Midwest and the planes in in the bullseye. We're talking multiple rounds. across multiple states. severe thunderstorm watches in effect right now. from Denver, Colorado, up through Green Bay, Wisconsin. Our primary concern going to be damaging. wind gusts, but these storms can also produce.

torrential rain that can trigger flash flooding, a flash flood watch in effect in Kansas City as. well. Here's a look at the threat zone. We expect multiple rounds to take. us right into Monday morning's commute. Now, pushing ahead into the holiday. week for a lot of the country, it's a fairly, fairly seasonable setup. That means summer like heat and scattered storms. That could create some issues for fireworks on Friday. in parts of the plains in Southeast Coast. But here in the Northeast, Lindsey, things actually. look really fantastic heading into the forest. - All right, fingers crossed, Danny. Thank you. Now to the drama and all-nighter on Capitol Hill,

the Senate narrowly advancing President Trump's. so-called big, beautiful bill. But much more work is ahead to get the tax cut. and spending bill across the finish line. And one Republican senator is feeling the pressure. after opposing the legislation, here's ABC's J.O. Brian back on Capitol Hill tonight. - Tonight on the eve of a marathon series of votes. on President Trump's so-called big beautiful bill, a stunning twist. One of the bill's most outspoken GOP opponents, drawing Trump's eye and announcing he will not run.

for re-election. Senator Tom Tillis, one of two Republicans. who voted against advancing Trump's signature bill. So last night, writing his decision not to seek a third. term is not a hard choice. Just hours earlier, Trump blasting the GOP Senator for his. opposition to the legislation in a lengthy social media. post, threatening to support primary challengers against him, and saying he made a big mistake for America. Till is concerned over the bill's proposed. cuts to Medicaid, now warning that lawmakers. who embrace bipartisanship and independence are,

quote, "becoming an endangered species.". Following a standstill on the Senate floor, Trump's mega-bill finally inching forward, clearing. a key procedural hurdle just before midnight after one GOP-. opponent Senator Ron Johnson flipped from no to yes. "3211 of the National Nuclear Security Administration Act.". Democrats lacking the numbers to block Trump's agenda, delaying. the final vote in the Senate by forcing a reading of the. entire roughly 1000-page bill all night long.

It took more than 15 hours. Once Adam had it, he wants the bill passed by July 4th, Trump now acknowledging that may not be possible. I don't know. I mean, I can't tell you that if we're two days late or five. days late, everybody says, oh, you can't have. tremendous failure. whatever it is, as long as we have it, it's very important. The centerpiece of the president's legislative. agenda, the bill includes roughly $4 trillion. in tax cuts and fulfills some key campaign promises like no. taxes on tips and over time.

Republicans trying to cover the cost with cuts. to programs like Medicaid, leading to an estimated. And it lifted 11.8 million Americans potentially. losing their health coverage over the next decade. And by slashing Biden-era clean energy incentives. like solar panel tax credits, vital to small. businesses like Micah Goldmark Hell's in Philadelphia. Some of his employees voted for Trump, he says. "And I'm concerned that we would have to have. the size of our company.". We're talking about 30 jobs. At least you have 60 jobs.

That's right. I mean, it hurts to say that. Billionaire Elon Musk, meanwhile, once again bashing the bill, concerned about non-partisan. estimates that it would add more than $3 trillion. to the national debt and call and cuts to wind. and solar initiatives quote, "utterly insane. and destructive.". J.O. Bryan joins us now from the Capitol J. We're hearing late word from President Trump tonight. with a new warning for any more Republicans who. would oppose this bill. What's he saying?

Yeah, Lindsay, after that surprise announcement from. Tillis President Trump, delivering a message to. any hard-line Republicans who might oppose this. spending in this bill, warning, remember, quote, "You still have to get reelected. Don't go too crazy.". Senate Majority Leader John Thune can only afford to lose. three Republicans on that final. to drag well into tomorrow. And if it gets out of the Senate, this bill will have to. go back to the house where the original version only passed. by a single vote. Lindsey. >> Thank you. Now to the protests.

Over a new detention center in the Florida Everglades dubbed. "alligator alcatraz.". Indigenous leaders are at the forefront of the protest. Sengeting crotches on sacred lands that are protected. Environmentalists are also opposing the construction. Here's ABC Senior White House Correspondent Selina Wang. and the most important thing is. that the able to get the. best of the day. streets protesting plans to turn a remote. airfield into the Everglades into the. latest migrant detention facility. Officials say operations will start on. Tuesday and eventually hold up to.

5,000. White tents are. ready visible. >> Our lives depend on this everglades. And bringing this facility here is. disrupting everything. Environmental activists, joining Native. Americans took call for the protection of their ancestral. homelands. As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis pushes ahead. Clearly from a security perspective, if someone escapes, you know, there's a lot of alligators you're going to have.

to content. No one's going anywhere, you know, once you do. that, it's as safe and secure as you can be. The Department of Homeland Security teasing their. plans for the so called alligator. Alcatraz. The facility, part of President Trump's. efforts to ramp up deportations by expanding. detention capacity. In highly controversial moves, Trump. has already sent migrants to Guantanamo Bay and a. mega-present in El Salvador. In recent weeks, more violent arrests caught on camera from.

coast to coast. This man thrown to the ground and arrested. by ICE agents in California. His three sons all US Marines. And just days ago the Supreme Court ruled to dramatically. limit the ability of federal judges to check presidential. power, allowing Trump to move forward with. plans to end birthright citizenship, though the. legal battle continues. I spoke to this pregnant undocumented mother who did not. want to show her face on camera. She tells me she's uncertain and scared, even though her.

baby will be protected from the ruling since she's part. of one of the plaintiff groups in the case. But she says she's afraid for all the other children born on. U.S. soil who may not become citizens. In Lindsey, the Trump administration is ending. temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands. of Haitian immigrants claiming that the country is now safe. enough for them to return to. But the State Department is still warning Americans. not to travel to Haiti because of gang violence,

murder, and crime. "Linsey, Selena Wang from the White House. Thank you.". We have breaking news tonight for our viewers in the West. Reports of a shooting near Cordalain, Idaho, as firefighters were responding to a brush. fire. Let's get right to ABC Zareen Shaw in Los. Angeles tonight. Zareen, what can you tell us? Both of them believe to be firefighters. All of this taking place in rural Northern Idaho. near Cordelein. They say they cannot neutralize the suspect. soon. This could go on for days. They say the suspect or suspects are currently.

Dozens of members of law enforcement are. now on the scene and the FBI is assisting. Local residents have been told to. shelter in place.

Next tonight, President Trump is calling for the end to. the war in Gaza. The president posted on a social media. platform, "Make the deal get the hostages back.". Let's get right to ABC's Marcus More. in Tel Aviv for us tonight. And Marcus, give us context for why the timing. on this is so unique. Well, Lindsey, it is unique because the ceasefire.

between Iran and Israel has renewed hope. that there could be a ceasefire in Gaza. And the Prime Minister Netanyahu is sending one of his top. advisors to meet with officials in Washington. As you know, President Trump is calling for an immediate. ceasefire in Gaza as casualties mount there. The health ministry says more than 80 people have been killed. in the last 24 hours in Israeli air strikes and 18 people have. died trying to reach eight eight distribution centers in. Gaza so Lindsey the situation remains dire. And Marcus, while we have you, what's the latest on the damage.

assessment at one of the runs nuclear facilities that was. targeted in the US mission just over a week ago? Yeah, just a week ago, Lindsey, the US the US sent B2 bombers. that dropped a dozen bunker buster bombs on the 4-0 nuclear. facility and it's notable that But the head of the. International Atomic Energy Agency has said. that it's the agencies believe that Iran could. resume enriching uranium in a matter of months. That's certainly very different than the assessment that. President Trump has shared. And the IAEA's comments come as a satellite images show new.

activity at the photo nuclear site. And Lindsey, it's also worth noting that in response to. the strikes, Iranian lawmakers have suspended their. cooperation with the IAEA. - Marcus Moore in Tel Aviv for us tonight. Marcus, thank you.

Investigators say neighbors reported hearing a loud boom. at around five in the morning. Rocky Dotson lives nearby. I'm sitting down in the liver and watch a TV and all of a. sudden I heard like a boom. The blast was so powerful that it blew the front. door off across the street. Debris can be seen on top of nearby homes. Windows and doors blown out at houses up and down the block. the loud sound came from the properties collapsing or.
