Local stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom: The U.S. State Department has ordered Tarrant County to stop issuing passports. Federal officials are investigating a “possible infraction” in how the county handled applications.

This week in Breakthroughs, we’ll look at a type of brain rehab designed to help those who suffer from a traumatic brain injury.

And in the soccer world, the U.S. men’s soccer team beat Honduras 2-1 last night in the opening round of the 2015 Gold Cup.
