Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. The U.S. is urging American citizens in Iran to leave as massive street protests continue. Iran's government is cracking down hard on the demonstrations. The security forces have now killed several hundred people, according to human rights groups.
Chapter 2: What recent events are occurring in Iran related to protests?
NPR's Greg Myrie has more.
The traditional playbook is to unleash the Revolutionary Guards to crush the protests. That worked previously. It may work again. But it doesn't address the fundamental grievances on living standards, and that will keep eroding any support the regime might have left. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah al-Khamenei, is 86. He's been in power 37 years.
He's been good at holding power, but he's failed to meet the day-to-day needs of Iranians.
NPR's Greg Myrie reporting. Minnesota officials are suing the Trump administration over the immigration crackdown in the state. It comes after an ICE agent fatally shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in her car. Local officials say the enforcement action amounts to a federal invasion. Here's Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey.
What we are seeing right now is not normal immigration enforcement. We are not asking ICE not to do ICE things. We are asking this federal government to stop the unconstitutional conduct that is invading our streets each and every day.
The lawsuit alleges immigration agents interrogate residents about their citizenship without reason to believe they're in the U.S. illegally. Illinois and Chicago also filed a lawsuit today over the crackdown there. The two people shot in Portland, Oregon last week while fleeing a U.S. Border Patrol traffic stop are facing criminal charges.
As Oregon Public Broadcasting's Conrad Wilson reports, both have been released from the hospital and into federal custody.
The U.S. Department of Justice charged Luis Nino Moncada for aggravated assault on a federal officer with a deadly or dangerous weapon and depredation of federal property. According to a charging document filed in court by the FBI, the immigration agents feared they could be hit by the truck he was driving. One agent fired two shots into the driver's side window.
Yolanas Zambrano Contreras, the passenger in the vehicle, was also wounded. Court records show she was the target of the immigration operation. She's charged with illegal entry. The Department of Homeland Security says the two are connected to a Venezuelan gang. Court documents show the FBI has not found video of the incident. For NPR News, I'm Conrad Wilson in Portland.

Chapter 3: How is the Trump administration impacting immigration enforcement in Minnesota?
NPR's John Ruich reports this comes amid pressure on Apple by critics who think it's been slow to hop on the AI bandwagon.
Apple has been promising AI-enabled features in its products for months, but those plans have been hobbled by delays. Now the company is poised to team up with Google to use its Gemini AI technology, which is already among the world's most popular. In a joint statement, the companies say Google's technology provides, quote, "...the most capable foundation for Apple's underlying AI models."
Critics have blasted Apple for being slow to develop and adopt AI. Companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google have poured billions of dollars into developing AI models and chatbots, leaving Apple in the dust. Apple and Google say the tie-up is a multi-year collaboration, though the announcement did not disclose the terms. John Rewich, NPR News.
Monkeys are on the loose in St. Louis, and AI images are complicating the effort to find them. The vervet monkeys were first spotted last week near a park in the northern part of the city. The discovery prompted rumors, and then people started posting fake pictures of them. It's unclear who owns the monkeys, how they got loose, or exactly how many there are. This is NPR News from Washington.
