White House spokesman Josh Earnest says most of them are not likely to qualify for humanitarian relief that would keep them from being deported. Still, he says the immigration review process will be allowed to take place. And the nation’s homeland security secretary has suggested that those proceedings might be delayed for quite a while.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Southwest District Judge William Herauf ruled to dismiss the state’s case against Thomas Sander without prejudice.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prosecutors charged Sander, 30, with arson and endangering by fire. They said he started a fire that destroyed Trinity High School on March 3 and endangered the life of a teacher who lived in an apartment at the school. Sander pleaded not guilty.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prosecuting attorney Tom Henning filed the motion to dismiss Thursday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Herauf had ruled two days earlier that Sander was not read his rights before part of a police interrogation and that some of his statements were coerced.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Joshua Clark is facing a murder conspiracy charge in the May 2013 death of 18-year-old John Swain.\u00a0 \u00a0Swain had recently moved from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to Bismarck.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities allege Clark and Theo Crowe lured Swain into a Bismarck home, hit him with a hammer, cut off his legs and hid his body. Swain’s body was found in June 2013 at the home of Crowe’s grandmother in Poplar, Montana.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Clark had previously sought to have his case dismissed. Judge Bruce Haskell denied the request but moved Clark’s trial from August to July.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Crowd pleaded guilty in October of 2013.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Manure spreaders typically start in the spring once the ground thaws, spreading the fertilizer until crops are planted. They pick up again after harvest, until the ground freezes again.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Farmers in the Dakotas have been planting more late-season crops such as corn and soybeans in recent years because of high market prices. That and recent long winters mean manure spreaders have had far less time to do their work.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Roughrider Manure Spreading owner Dale Reindelsays \u00a0when manure spreaders can get in the field, it’s “just go, go, go.”<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraqi political leaders remain deadlocked — and the country’s parliament has now postponed its next session until mid-August.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NOVOBAKHMUTIVKA, Ukraine (AP) – Rebels in eastern Ukraine are apparently trying to slow down any effort by government forces to clear them out of the city of Donetsk. Three bridges on key roads leading into the city were blown up today. Separatist fighters who had been driven out of other eastern towns by Ukraine’s army had regrouped in Donetsk, where pro-Russia rebels have declared independence.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LOS ANGELES (AP) – A trial in Los Angeles involving the Los Angeles Clippers has been delayed. It’s supposed to determine whether the estranged wife of Donald Sterling has the authority to sell the team for $2 billion to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. It was supposed to start this morning, but attorneys for Sterling have delayed the start of the trial by filing a motion seeking to move the case to federal court.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 KENTWOOD, Mich. (AP) – Officials in western Michigan confirm that it was a tornado that knocked down trees and power lines, ripped the roofs off some houses and sent two people to hospitals for treatment after their homes collapsed last night.
