Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. The head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement says federal agents may enter private property without a warrant from a federal judge. As Matt Sepik of Minnesota Public Radio reports, the directive is outlined in a memo from a top Immigration and Customs Enforcement official that was leaked by a whistleblower.

NPR's Tamara Keith reporting. A New York judge is ordering the state to redraw its congressional map before this year's midterm election. As NPR's Hansi Lo Wong reports, the ruling gives Democrats a chance to pick up an additional seat in the nationwide redistricting fight.
The New York State judge found that a U.S. House district in New York City currently represented by a Republican violates the state's constitution by diluting the collective power of Black and Latino voters.
