The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul have been on edge since before the Department of Homeland Security announced it had launched an operation expected to include as many as 2,000 ICE agents.

The president has been very open and clear with all of you and with the world that he views it in the best interest of the United States to deter Russian and Chinese aggression in the Arctic region.

Levitt says U.S. ownership of Greenland would allow for more control in the Arctic region. But Denmark has repeatedly insisted that Greenland is not for sale. And its prime minister says any military force to take the land would effectively dissolve NATO. That's NPR's Deepa Shivaram.

Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old charged with killing his parents, famed director Rob Reiner and wife Michelle Singer Reiner, will have to find a new lawyer. At an arraignment today in Los Angeles, Reiner's attorney announced he had withdrawn from the case. Steve Futterman with details.

When court convened, Alan Jackson, who's been representing Nick Reiner, Jackson being a very high-profile attorney, told the court he is withdrawing from the case. He did not give any explanation, but Dill did tell the court he had no choice. I have to say this was a surprise. No one expected this. A public defender was then appointed to represent Nick Reiner.
