'All parts of the Model 3 production system are now above 500 and some are almost at 700 cars already. Congratulations to all on making so much progress!' wrote Musk in the email, which was obtained by CNBC . He went on to say however that 'radical improvements' were needed in order to 'achieve sustained, 700+ per week on the body line.' It was just a few minutes before midnight on Sunday that employees received a second email from Musk, this time accusing an employee of 'making direct code changes to the Tesla Manufacturing Operating System under false usernames and exporting large amounts of highly sensitive Tesla data to unknown third parties.' That employee is now being investigated for corporate espionage.

A Guatemalan asylum-seeker sued the Trump administration on Tuesday for 'forcibly' separating her from her seven-year-old son after they crossed the border in May. Beata Mariana de Jesus Mejia-Mejia was never indicted for illegally entering the country, but officials won't tell where her son Darwin is, according to her lawsuit filed Tuesday in Federal District Court in Washington, D.C. against 6 federal agencies and 10 senior officials. Mejia-Mejia's lawsuit is believed to be the first to challenge the government's removal of a specific child from a parent in the course of upholding federal immigration law. It opens up a new legal front in what has become an all-out battle with the White House on one side and a combination of Democratic lawmakers and immigration activists on the other. In the suit she describes a heart-wrenching scene when uniformed agents entered her holding cell and took away the boy, who screamed for his mother. Mejia-Mejia and her son entered the U.S. near San Luis, Arizona on approximately May 19 and turned herself in to U.S. Border Patrol agents, requesting asylum because of spousal abuse at the hands of a violently alcoholic husband who she says threatened to kill her.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham has been slammed on Twitter as she spoke about Trump's separation policy on Monday.

Others show children sleeping on floors and covered only by emergency space blankets to keep them warm.

Colbert joined the chorus of celebrities, public figures and politicians who have spoken out against the 'inhumane' policy since it gained more attention through heartbreaking photographs this week. On his Late Show on Monday, he took particular aim at Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen who had said that the government 'does not have the luxury' of presuming that everyone who comes across the border as an apparent family are in fact related.

It’s the laughter that sickened me most. Ten children, some thought to be as young as four, can be heard repeatedly sobbing ‘Mami’ and ‘Papa’ in fear and desperation after being separated from their parents by U.S. immigration authorities. That harrowing noise alone would be appalling enough. But it’s what followed next - on an audiotape secretly recorded by ProPublica inside a Customs and Border Protection Facility – that made my stomach churn with rage and revulsion. ‘Well,’ chuckles a Border Patrol agent, ‘we have an orchestra here. What’s missing is a conductor!’ An orchestra? Pictured right agents taking Central American asylum seekers into custody near McAllen, Texas. Inset a grab from the audio.

Track Palin, 29, the son of former Alaska Governor and GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, will plead guilty to misdemeanor criminal trespass in Anchorage Veterans Court today.

President Donald Trump directed the US Trade Representative to prepare new tariffs on $200billion in Chinese imports on Monday as the two nations moved closer to a potential trade war. The tariffs, which Trump wants set at a 10 per cent rate, would be the latest round of punitive measures in an escalating dispute over the large trade imbalance between the two countries. Trump recently ordered tariffs on $50billion in Chinese goods in retaliation for intellectual property theft. The tariffs were quickly matched by China (pictured is China's President Xi Jinping) on US exports, a move that drew the president's ire. China is retaliating by raising import duties on $34billion worth of American goods, including soybeans, electric cars and whiskey.

The Bulls. He asked Michael Jordan - he asked the team for Michael Jordan. And Michael said, no,' said Rodman. 'He asked Scottie Pippen. "No, I'll pass that one." He asked me, "I said, okay, I'll go." As blind as I was, I think I'm going for another gig, shaking hands, taking pictures and stuff like that. I didn't know anything about.'

They said that Ivanka was a 'relatively normal teenager' before she began to carefully manage her public image.
