Dynamo rally late, edge San Diego FC in stoppage time
Ezequiel Ponce scored a pair of late goals, including the go-ahead score in the 10th minute of second-half stoppage time, as the visiting Houston Dynamo rallied to earn a 4-3 victory over San Diego FC on Saturday. Dynamo rally late, edge San Diego FC in stoppage time Ethan Bartlow sent a pass to Ponce, who delivered the game-winning strike with his left foot from the top of the penalty area to put the Dynamo up for good. Ponce had just earned a chance from the penalty spot late in the second half and scored on a penalty kick in the 87th minute to tie the score 3-3. That goal came after he was fouled by San Diego FC goalkeeper CJ dos Santos, who came away with a bloody nose. The injury delay for dos Santos created 17 minutes of second-half stoppage time. Houston goalkeeper Jonathan Bond made four saves to help push the club above the playoff line in the Western Conference. Milan Iloski, Luca Bombino and Onni Valakari scored goals for San Diego FC, who saw a four-match winning streak come to an end, while still extending their run of at least three goals to four consecutive matches. San Diego FC received one save from dos Santos. The expansion club remained in first place in the West while losing at home for just the second time. San Diego took a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute when Iloski scored from near the penalty spot. The Dynamo got even in the 36th minute when Ennali scored in his first career MLS start. Houston jumped in front 2-1 in the third minute of first-half stoppage time when Escobar scored on a blast from outside of the penalty area. San Diego tied it 2-2 in the 54th minute when Bombino scored on a left-footed swinging strike through Bond's arms. In the 67th minute, San Diego regained the lead 3-2 when Anders Dreyer's shot toward goal rebounded off the leg of Valakari and into the goal.

Southern California mother deported after immigration hearing
Loved ones are heartbroken after a Southern California mother was detained and deported after a routine immigration hearing. Maria Valeriano Perez, 52, is a mother of three children who has lived in the U.S. for 35 years. She had been working as a custodian in Ventura County for years. Her family said she attended an immigration appointment on June 4 and, instead of receiving an update on her case, she was immediately handcuffed and taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). She was transported to a federal detention center in downtown L.A. and was eventually deported to Oaxaca, Mexico. Maria's daughter, Erika Perez, said she was not only in shock over her mother's detainment, but also by the reportedly heartbreaking conditions her mother had witnessed. 'She told me about women inside banging doors, begging for food,' Erika told KTLA's Sandra Mitchell. 'They were so hungry that they would pretend they were drinking [and eating.]' Erika said her mother described the detention facility conditions as bleak — a place where men, women and children were crowded into a single room for processing. 'The women would crawl under benches and start crying just to escape the nightmare that they were going through,' Erika said. Kamilla Ponce, whose uncle was also detained by ICE, said he was not provided with much information during the process. 'They didn't even ask if they had papers or if they were documented or had proof of ID, they just rounded them all up,' Ponce said. Her uncle, Rodolfo Ponce Flores, was taken into custody during a raid in the Garment District in downtown L.A. on June 6. She said in just a few days, he had been moved to at least three different facilities across three different counties in SoCal. 'We tried to go see him, but they said, 'No,'' Ponce said. 'They were not letting anybody in, not even the lawyers.' Although Erika said her mother has accepted her fate that she may never gain U.S. citizenship, it doesn't change the effect her absence will have on her friends, loved ones and community members. 'She told me to take care of my siblings and that it's going to be okay,' Erika said of her last conversation with her mother before she was deported. 'I'm just devastated. She's gone now. She left me alone to raise my two other siblings.' Under a new policy from the Trump Administration, Maria would not be able to apply for re-admission into the U.S. for another 10 years.

Mimmo's Mozzarella Italian Cafe and Market is a cheese lover's delight
There's a little corner of Italy hidden away in North Miami. Mimmo's Mozzarella Italian Cafe and Market is a family-owned gem that's been drawing cheese lovers from across South Florida for 12 years. Bruno Ponce and his wife Graciana have been serving up handcrafted Italian specialties to a devoted following of locals who consider this place their best-kept secret. "I love the comfortability, the food, the atmosphere — everyone is always so pleasant and peaceful here," said longtime customer Alessandro Patricolo. His favorite?: "The burrata on the focaccia." Phillip Jakubiszen, another frequent visitor, raves about the consistently high quality. "Everything is so fresh, [and] delicious," he said. "I mean, so many of the different paninis we've had, the gnocchi, I mean everything. You can't go wrong, it's second to none, honestly." What sets Mimmo's apart isn't just the food. It's the fact that everything you taste here is made from scratch, starting with the star of the show - fresh mozzarella. Every morning, Ponce pulls mozzarella using traditional techniques, transforming simple cheese curds into creamy perfection with no additives. His dedication to freshness means early mornings and careful attention to detail. "We start every day at five in the morning to meet the production," Ponce explained. "We start to keep them fresh." Though Ponce hails from Argentina, his grandfather was Italian, and that influence is evident in every corner: from the market filled with imported authentic products to the fascinating cheese-aging cooler, which showcases the traditional process. Some of their aged cheeses require patience. "We have to wait two months [for] aging, and then the cheese is coming ready," Ponce said. Mimmo's offers take-out, delivery and sit-down dining. Their classic cheese platter features freshly made creamy burrata with Parma Cotta ham and four other house-made cheeses, served with incredible homemade focaccia bread. The experience transports diners straight to Italy. The restaurant's classic panini sandwich with fresh mozzarella, tomato, prosciutto di Parma, and pesto sauce on a baguette perfectly captures the essence of Italian simplicity and quality. Mimmo's is open seven days a week, and a significant part of their business involves selling their delicious products to hotels and restaurants throughout the area. For those interested in learning the craft themselves, they also offer cheese-making classes by appointment only. Located in North Miami, this family-owned Italian cafe and market continues to build its reputation one handcrafted cheese at a time, proving that authentic Italian flavors don't require a trip across the Atlantic.
