What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. Today's show host Savannah Guthrie has posted a video message on social media asking anyone who might be holding her 84-year-old mother to provide proof that she's alive.
We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. want to hear from you and we are ready to listen.
What urgent message did Savannah Guthrie share about her mother?
Guthrie appeared in the Instagram video with her brother and sister. Their mother, Nancy Guthrie, vanished from her home near Tucson, Arizona over the weekend. President Trump says he spoke with Savannah Guthrie by phone Wednesday in a post on his social media platform. Trump said he has directed federal law enforcement resources to be at the disposal of the family and local authorities. Two Minnesota schools and the state's teacher union are suing the Homeland Security Department over the Trump administration's surge of federal agents to the state. From Minnesota Public Radio, Elizabeth Shockman reports.
The complaint was submitted by the Fridley and Duluth school districts, as well as Education Minnesota. It claims the Trump administration violated the Administrative Procedures Act when it rescinded a DHS policy that designated schools safe zones when it comes to immigration enforcement. June Hoytel is a partner at Zimmerman Reed, the law firm helping handle the case.
For decades, federal immigration enforcement followed one basic principle, which was keep enforcement away from schools. and school bus stops so children can learn safely. But last year, however, DHS, the Department of Homeland Security, scrapped that policy without explanation, without using the proper procedures.
The suit asks the court to declare schools and bus stops as safe zones again. For NPR News, I'm Elizabeth Schachman in St. Paul.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries are laying out their demands for change at Homeland Security. The demands come in the form of a letter to Republican leadership Democrats threatening to block funding for DHS unless there are dramatic changes. Supreme Court will allow California to use newly redone congressional voting maps. The California map had been challenged by Republicans as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. Here's NPR's Nina Totenberg.
In refusing to intervene in the California redistricting, the justices, without explanation and without any noted dissents, left in place the state's mid-decade redistricting, which could result in five additional House seats in Congress for Democrats. California's push for a new map began last summer in response to a similar and overtly partisan mid-decade redistricting plan by Republicans in Texas. And now the Supreme Court, as it had done before in the Texas case, has left in place the new redistricting in California. The end result is that the two states may well cancel out each other's partisan gains. Nina Totenberg, NPR News, Washington.
