Summary
Tennessee executions are paused after a lethal injection failed to quickly end Krista Gale Pike's life, prompting legal challenges over her sentence. The Supreme Court will review the administration's mandatory detention policy for migrants, while Israeli officials question how an Omani co-pilot, accused of sabotaging a flight, passed security vetting. Meanwhile, NASA's Crew 13 launched to the ISS, and Vice President JD Vance joined President Trump on the campaign trail to rally support for Republicans ahead of the midterms.
