We wrap up with an airline poaching another airline's routes.

MLB.com Brewers Beat Writer Adam McCalvy talks about The Miz’s “disjointed” season thus far, the newly-released 2026 Brewers schedule, how he felt about the Celebration of Life for Bob Uecker over the weekend, and Quinn Priester’s haircut.

ABC News Investigative Reporter Peter Charalambous talks about how Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongly deported in March before being brought back to the U.S. to face new criminal charges, was taken into immigration custody after checking in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement at its office in Baltimore on Monday morning and is currently being held at a detention center in Virginia, where he is again facing deportation. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, who has been overseeing his deportation case, said at a habeas hearing Monday afternoon that the federal government is "absolutely forbidden" from deporting him for the time being. Judge Xinis also said she is also considering extending a temporary restraining order blocking Abrego Garcia from being deported to Uganda, where the government has indicated he may be sent despite his designated country of choice being Costa Rica. The judge also said she will make sure he has access to counsel.

1. The Wisconsin kayaker, who made news across the country for faking his own death and leaving the country, is due in court this afternoon for his plea and sentencing hearing. 45-year-old Ryan Borgwardt is charged with a misdemeanor for "obstructing an officer." Borgwardt was initially reported missing last August when he didn't return home from kayaking on Green Lake. Police searched for him for nearly two months. Investigators with the Green Lake County Sheriff's Office ended up tracking him down in Europe. Borgwardt eventually returned to the U.S. on his own, saying he came back for his family. He was married at the time and has kids. Borgwardt and his wife have since divorced. He's now living in the Appleton area. His plea and sentencing hearing is set for 3:30 this afternoon. The obstruction charge comes with a maximum penalty of nine months in jail and a fine of up to $10-thousand dollars if convicted.

2. More money for MPS. After releasing $16.6 million dollars in state aid to MPS last week, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction will be releasing additional dollars, according to MPS Superintendent Dr Brenda Cassellius. The $16 million released is specifically for special education and programs for students who are also parents, and it was tied to the 2022-23 fiscal year. The district repeatedly missed deadlines for submitting required financial reports, including the 2022-23 and 2023-24 school year audits, as a result, roughly $42 million dollars in state aid were withheld. Under Cassellius, the state and MPS created a corrective action plan to overhaul the district's finance office.

3. Cracker Barrel says it "could have done better" with the rollout of its new logo and interior design.

The company now says Uncle Hershel will still be on its menus and road signs. They're calling him "family." Business strategist Kathleen Griffith says Cracker Barrel needs to modernize without losing its soul.
