What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News, I'm Corva Coleman. The Trump administration is moving a top Border Patrol officer out of Minneapolis and out of his leadership role. Minnesota Public Radio's Matt Sepik reports Greg Bovino has been the face of the Trump administration's immigration efforts.
What recent changes have occurred in the Trump administration's immigration leadership?
Bovino was the commander-at-large of the agency. He's made himself visible on the streets during operations here in Minnesota and elsewhere. Governor Tim Walz says Bovino is leaving Minnesota. Now he's returning to his old post in California and is expected to retire soon. This is effectively a demotion because he's no longer leading the administration's multi-state operation.
Matt Sepik reporting. A federal judge has ordered the acting leader of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appear in court this Friday in Minneapolis. U.S. District Judge Patrick Shillitz wants to know if Lyons should be held in contempt. That's because ICE has violated the court's order to release a detained man or provide him with a bond hearing. The federal government faces a partial shutdown after Friday unless Congress passes a spending bill. Senate Democrats want to strip out funding for homeland security. NPR's Claudia Grisales reports this follows the killing of Minneapolis protester Alex Preddy last weekend.
The House passed a spending package on a bipartisan basis last week. It left for recess with the expectation the Senate would do the same. The bill needs to pass by Friday to avoid a shutdown of portions of the government. However, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the DHS funding plan is woefully inadequate and fails to keep ICE agents in check in the wake of Freddie's death. Democrats are demanding Republicans pull the DHS funding from the overall $1.3 trillion bill, which also funds the Departments of Defense, Labor and Health and Human Services, among others. Republicans are pushing back, but many are also calling for a full investigation into Pretty's killing. Claudia DeSales, NBR News.
Top federal safety investigators meet today to consider the mid-air collision between a U.S. Army helicopter and a passenger jet near Washington, D.C. NPR's Joel Rose reports investigators will detail all the things they found that likely played a role in the deadly crash.
The National Transportation Safety Board will meet nearly a year after the mid-air collision that killed 67 people. It was the deadliest aviation disaster in the U.S. in more than two decades. The NTSB is not likely to identify a single cause. Instead, investigators will lay out all the things that went wrong in the lead-up to the crash, and the board will recommend changes to help prevent a similar tragedy from happening again. Already, the Federal Aviation Administration has taken the temporary restrictions it imposed after the crash and made them permanent. to ensure planes and helicopters don't once again share the same airspace around Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Joel Rose, NPR News, Washington.
You're listening to NPR News. There have been few details released about the small plane crash at the airport in Bangor, Maine Sunday night. Airport officials say six people were aboard and all are presumed deceased. The officials say an investigation continues. Forecasters are warning of life-threatening cold temperatures in the deep south this morning.
What legal action is being taken against the acting leader of ICE?
This comes after a powerful winter storm plowed through much of the country over the past few days. At least 30 people have been killed. The National Weather Service warns temperatures will remain frigid all week in much of the country. It says this could be the longest duration of cold weather some regions have seen in decades. More states are restricting how artificial intelligence can be used in mental health care. NPR's Windsor Johnson reports that's raising new questions about patient privacy and whether chatbots belong in the therapy room.
Mental health providers are using artificial intelligence to lighten their administrative load, from summarizing notes to managing patient records. Doug Newton is the chief medical officer at Rula, a behavioral health company.
