Chapter 2: What recent changes have occurred in the Trump administration's immigration leadership?

15.978 - 37.682 Matt Sepik

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 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.

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.

137.782 - 151.636 Joel Rose

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.

152.096 - 167.451 Joel Rose

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.

Mental health providers are using artificial intelligence to lighten their administrative load, from summarizing notes to managing patient records.
