• England is staying in Prairie Village, but local Brits say don't expect influx of team's notoriously rowdy fans (ransonfinancial.com) — England’s national soccer team will be based in Prairie Village while training for the World Cup, but local British fans don’t expect big crowds of rowdy supporters to follow. Because England’s matches are scheduled in other cities, any fan presence here will likely be limited to low-key locals hoping for a rare glimpse of the squad. 
• Local developer's ties to ICE upend Port KC vote on tax breaks for apartments (kansascity.com) — A Prairie Village-based developer’s reported ties to a potential ICE detention center in Texas have complicated its bid for tax breaks on a Kansas City apartment project. After concerns were raised citing earlier protests in Prairie Village, Port KC’s development committee advanced the incentives to the full board without a recommendation, seeking more information before a final decision.
