Welcome to the first Weekend Briefing in October. More than half a million school-age migrant children have arrived in the U.S. since 2022. Our survey of school districts offers the most extensive view to date of how public schools are coping. You'll want to read this one, whether or not you have children or live in the United States.
Special Report: Tehran is roiling the West with attempted hits and kidnappings against targets in Europe and the U.S. Since 2020, there have been at least 33 assassination or abduction attempts in which local or Israeli authorities allege an Iran link.
Leader blames victims: The dead, felled by automatic rifles, included three infants. The head of the Gran Grif gang said residents in Pont-Sondé failed to act when police or vigilantes killed his soldiers.
On the campaign trail: Donald Trump is using increasingly graphic and insupportable commentary on immigrants in the presidential race. He falsely claimed at a recent campaign stop that migrants were slaughtering people across the U.S.: "These are people at the highest level of killing… They grab young girls and slice them up right in front of their parents."
Duties: The EU will press ahead with tariffs on China-made electric vehicles, even after Germany, the bloc's largest economy, rejected them. The idea is to counter what the EU sees as unfair Chinese subsidies. Still, it's going to hurt: German carmakers made a third of their sales last year in China. A 100% U.S. tariff on Chinese electric vehicles went into effect a little more than a week ago.
Back to work: East-coast and Gulf Coast ports reopened after dockworkers and port operators reached a wage deal to settle the industry's biggest work stoppage in nearly half a century. Everybody was relieved except for investors who poured their money into shipping companies as the strike began.
