A member of an Iraqi volunteer force holds a weapon during training in the Shiite holy city of Karbala, 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday, June 24, 2014. Iraq's top Kurdish leader warned visiting Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday that a rapid Sunni insurgent advance has already created "a new reality and a new Iraq," signaling that the U.S. faces major difficulties in its efforts to promote unity among the country's divided factions. The U.N., meanwhile, said more than 1,000 people, most civilians, have been killed in Iraq so far this month, the highest death toll since the U.S. military withdrew from the country in December 2011.

A corrugated steel warehouse is shown Tuesday, June 24, 2014, in McAllen, Texas, that the U.S. government plans to turn into a processing facility for unaccompanied children who have entered the country illegally, according to construction permits. The permits show plans for four fence-enclosed pods inside the warehouse that could eventually accommodate about 1,000 children. The Border Patrol has been overwhelmed by more than 52,000 unaccompanied minors that have been arrested since October 2013, after entering the Unites States illegally. (AP Photo/Christopher Sherman)
