Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston.
Chapter 2: What is the investigation involving Minnesota Governor Tim Walz about?
The Justice Department is investigating whether Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey obstructed federal immigration enforcement. State Attorney General Keith Ellison says the probe sends a dangerous message.
When powerful leaders use it and weaponize it against people who are just doing their jobs as their voters elected them to do, that's a very sad day in America.
Both Walz and Frey are pushing back, calling the investigation an intimidation tactic. Nearly 3,000 federal agents have been deployed to Minnesota to arrest immigrants without legal status and investigate alleged fraud.
Chapter 3: How is ICE funding affecting immigration enforcement in the U.S.?
Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a statement on Friday saying no one is above the law. Immigration Customs Enforcement is now the highest funded U.S. law enforcement agency. But as NPR's Bill Chappell reports, there are questions about how the Department of Homeland Security is using that money.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of President Trump's tariffs on Greenland?
Last summer, President Trump's spending and policy package, what he dubbed his Big Beautiful Bill, gave ICE an extra $75 billion.
It's larger than the annual budget of all other federal law enforcement agencies combined.
That's Lauren Brooke Eisen, the senior director of the justice program at the Brennan Center. She says billions of dollars are going to detaining people, but far less goes to ensure oversight and due process.
Chapter 5: How are U.S. airlines being warned about satellite interference?
After an ICE officer killed Renee Macklin Good in Minneapolis, Democrats are calling for changes to how ICE operates as Congress looks at new immigration-related spending for 2026. Bill Chappell, NPR News.
President Trump is floating the idea of imposing tariffs on countries that oppose his push for control of Greenland. He's citing national security concerns as the latest reason for why the U.S. should take over the territory which is part of Denmark.
Chapter 6: What happened to the Beth Israel congregation after the arson attack?
NPR's Deepa Shivaram reports.
Officials in Denmark and Greenland have repeatedly said they do not support any method of the U.S. obtaining the territory. Other countries in the European Union and in NATO have also spoken out, warning against any threats the U.S. is making against Greenland and Denmark.
Chapter 7: How are social media platforms in Australia addressing underage users?
President Trump now says he'd consider punishing those nations with tariffs, but he didn't offer a specific plan.
I may put a tariff on countries if they don't go along with Greenland because we need Greenland for national security.
Earlier this week, foreign ministers from Denmark and Greenland met with Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington. Deepa Shivaram, NPR News, the White House.
The Federal Aviation Administration is warning U.S. airlines about potential satellite interference when flying over parts of Mexico, Central and South America, and the Eastern Pacific. The alert follows nearly four months of U.S. military strikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats in the region. The Trump administration says the strikes have killed at least 115 people.
This is NPR News in Washington. Members of the Beth Israel congregation in Jackson, Mississippi, came together for the first time since their synagogue was damaged from an arson attack last week. Shamira Muhammad with Mississippi Public Broadcasting has more.
The service was held in Northminster Baptist Church, one of dozens of churches that have offered their facilities to the Beth Israel congregation. Rabbi Benjamin Russell wore a telis he says may be one of the last artifacts from the synagogue's library.
Our sanctuary may smell like smoke. Our library can burn. Our offices can be damaged. But that is not the end of Beth Israel. Not even close.
According to court documents, 19-year-old Stephen Pittman has confessed to law enforcement to setting the synagogue on fire last week because of its Jewish ties. For NPR News, I'm Shamira Mohamed in Jackson, Mississippi.
Social media platforms in Australia have blocked nearly 5 million accounts flagged as belonging to minors. The move follows a new law passed in December that bans users under the age of 16. Companies like Facebook, YouTube and X are facing steep fines for noncompliance. Regulators in France, Malaysia and Indonesia say they're planning to introduce similar rules. Some states in the U.S.
