Chapter 1: What social media messages did President Trump release overnight?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. President Trump released a lot of social media messages online overnight. They included purported and private messages from the leaders of NATO and France. French President Emmanuel Macron said simply to Trump, I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland. Trump returned from Florida overnight and again demanded control of Greenland.
We have to have it. They have to have this done. They can't protect it. Greenland is protected by NATO. Greenland is also controlled by U.S. ally Denmark, and both Greenlanders and Danes say they reject any U.S. control of the island. Trump is leaving today for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he is expected to discuss the matter further.
Today marks one year since President Trump returned to his second term in office. This past year has seen immense government upheaval, but NPR's Tamara Keith reports there's been less turnover among Trump's cabinet and top-level staff as there was in his first term.

There are more questions about the tactics used by ICE in Minnesota to detain people. On Sunday, federal agents broke down the front door of Chongli Scott Tao, a naturalized American citizen in St. Paul. Agents forced him outside in snow and sub-freezing temperatures, wearing only his underwear.
Tao said agents eventually realized he was an American with no criminal history, and then they drove him home. NPR's Kat Lonsdorff purports from Minneapolis federal agents continue to arrest people.
The Department of Homeland Security has not released a breakdown of the number of arrests made by federal immigration officers here in Minneapolis. But in a tweet, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem says there have been 3,000 in the six weeks since the federal surge began. NPR has not been able to independently verify that number.

Chapter 2: What has been the impact of Trump's second term on his cabinet stability?
Miami was a different story. The Hurricanes' pass rush put serious pressure on Indiana's Heisman-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, and the Hoosiers managed just 10 points in the first half. But after halftime, Indiana blocked a Miami punt, turned that into a touchdown. Then Mendoza took control with two late-game fourth-down conversions.
one of them a touchdown from a heroic leap into the end zone. The win completes a historic turnaround for the Indiana football program. The Hoosiers were long the bottom feeder of the Big Ten Conference. Then the arrival of coach Kurt Cignetti changed it all. He steered Indiana to an 11-2 record last year, and this year a perfect 16-0. Becky Sullivan, NPR News.
