  In Ceuta, Spain, preparations are being made
• 0:09
  for burials following an immigration crisis earlier
• 0:11
  in August. Ninety plots have been prepared for
• 0:14
  those who lost their lives after 72 ,000 immigrants
• 0:17
  pressed themselves into the town of Ceuta. More
• 0:20
  migrants are expected to be buried this week,

  all of whom are unknown. Protests and a legal
• 0:26
  fight are intensifying over a proposed ICE facility
• 0:29
  near Gilroy, California. Construction is paused
• 0:32
  until September 9, while California and Santa
• 0:35
  Clara County challenge the project. While state
• 0:39
  and county officials estimate the site would
• 0:40
  hold up to 150 people, federal officials say
• 0:44
  that the site would hold no more than 10 detainees
• 0:46
  at a time. Attorneys on behalf of Santa Clara

  County and the state of California claim that
• 0:52
  the site bypasses environmental reviews, and
• 0:55
  could violate agricultural zoning laws. San Jose's

  historic Century 21 dome could get another life

  since 2014, but its size and design could make
• 1:09
  it suitable for a premium large -format cinema.

  Originally opening in 1964, the Century 21 was
• 1:16
  also declared a San Jose historical landmark
• 1:18
  in the same year of its closing. The Willamette

  restructuring amid a financial crisis. 33 bus
• 1:31
  lines are projected to be altered, two will be
