The initial cases were discovered last week in two calves located within a few miles of each other in South Texas.
These latest ones were found hundreds of miles apart, one in a calf near San Antonio, another in a goat near Austin, and a third in a dog in New Mexico.
In a press conference today, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said every effort is being made to control any further cases.
BROOKE ROLLINS, U.S.
Secretary of Agriculture: We now know what the enemy looks like.
We now understand what we have to do.
This is not a virus.
It is not a disease.
It is a pest.
And so we obviously are treating it as such.
AMNA NAWAZ: Agricultural officials have sounded the alarm about the threat of infestation since a case was detected in Mexico in late 2024.
The insect was a scourge for cattle ranchers for years until it was largely eliminated in the U.S.
in the 1960s.
In Boston, a federal judge struck down President Trump's hefty fee on H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers.
U.S.
District Judge Leo Sorokin called the $100,000 fee an unlawful tax that Congress never authorized.
Before Trump announced the charge last September, employers typically paid between $2,000 and $5,000 in fees.
The H-1B program was created in 1990 and offers visas to some 85,000 people each year, many involved in the tech sector.
The Trump administration had argued that the program aims to replace, rather than supplement, American workers.
In New York City, an investigation is under way into a stabbing at Penn Station that left six people injured, one of them seriously.
Authorities apprehended a suspect, but did not immediately release details about the person's identity or potential charges.
It happened yesterday evening in one of the nation's busiest transportation hubs located just below Madison Square Garden, the site of tonight's game three of the NBA Finals.
President Trump is set to be there, becoming the first sitting president to attend a Finals game.
A local watch party was canceled due to the increased security, and police officials are asking city residents to avoid the area.
JESSICA TISCH, New York City Police Commissioner: The message is simple.
Celebrate the Knicks, but avoid the MSG area tonight if you do not have tickets for the game or some other valid reason to be there tonight.
AMNA NAWAZ: Tonight is the first time that Madison Square Garden is hosting an NBA finals game since 1999.
The New York Knicks lead the San Antonio Spurs in the best of seven series two games to none.
College quarterback Brendan Sorsby won a temporary injunction today against the NCAA, despite his history of gambling on games.
That means the 22-year-old could play for Texas Tech this fall.
Sorsby had been suspended after admitting to gambling on college football games, including during his time at Indiana when he was on the roster.
Current NCAA rules call for a permanent loss of eligibility for players who bet on their own team, but Sorsby only faces a two-game suspension.
In response, the organization set it -- quote -- "strongly disagrees with the ruling," saying it -- quote -- "undermines and corrupts the integrity of sports."
In the Philippines, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake has killed at least 35 people and injured more than 200 others.
The offshore quake caused extensive damage in southern coastal areas.
It also triggered tsunami warnings in Indonesia, Japan and Australia, though they have since been lifted.
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
ordered classes to be canceled and disaster response agencies to begin helping affected areas.
The U.S., France and other nations have also offered their support.
On Wall Street today, stocks steadied a bit after Friday's sell-off.
The Dow Jones industrial average slipped about 80 points to start the week, but the Nasdaq rose more than 200 points, or almost 1 percent.
The S&P 500 also managed a modest gain.
And a new musical which pokes fun that the golden age of musicals was crowned best musical at last night's Tony Awards.
WOMAN: "Schmigadoon!"
(CHEERING) AMNA NAWAZ: In his speech, "Schmigadoon!"
producer and "SNL" creator Lorne Michaels said -- quote -- "Sometimes, singing, dancing, a lot of jokes, and a happy ending is really all you need."
"Ragtime" won best musical revival, and its star, Joshua Henry, earned his first Tony Award after three prior nominations.
And the Arthur Miller classic "Death of a Salesman" raked in the most awards of the night, six in all, including best revival of a play.
