Chapter 1: What are the latest updates on the Department of Homeland Security funding?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. There seems to be little common ground over funding the Department of Homeland Security ahead of Friday's midnight deadline when it faces a partial government shutdown. Democrats and some Republicans are demanding changes to immigration enforcement. Here's House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
They lied to the American people. The Trump administration is not targeting violent felons. They're targeting American citizens. communities throughout this country, and law-abiding immigrant families.
Jeffries has called for banning federal agents from wearing masks and requiring judicial warrants before making arrests. The Trump administration is urging Americans to get vaccinated against measles as outbreaks spread across the state. NPR's Maria Godoy reports on remarks by Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Oz's comments came Sunday during an interview on CNN's State of the Union. When asked what his message about the measles vaccine is, Oz replied, Take the vaccine, please.
We have a solution for our problem. Not all illnesses are equally dangerous and not all people are equally susceptible to those illnesses. But measles is one you should get your vaccine.
Oz is the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He denied that the Trump administration's actions have undermined confidence in vaccines, and he argued that his boss, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has been supportive of the measles vaccine. Kennedy has a long history of being skeptical of the safety and efficacy of vaccines. Maria Godoy, NPR News.
Skier Lindsey Vonn says she suffered a complex tibia fracture in the Olympic downhill race yesterday. The 41-year-old Team USA star was attempting a comeback but crashed just 13 seconds into the race. NPR's Becky Sullivan has more.
Vonn says the injury will require multiple surgeries to fix properly. She was competing in Sunday's race despite having torn her ACL late last month, an unfortunate injury that came as she was mounting a remarkable career comeback out of retirement. Vonn says in a post on social media that the ACL tear and other past injuries had, quote, nothing to do with her crash.
Her determination to compete made Sunday's race one of the most anticipated events of the Olympics, but... Just 13 seconds into the race, she hooked her right arm and shoulder around a gate and crashed hard onto the slope. It wasn't the ending she'd dreamed of, she wrote. Still, she says, she has no regrets about competing. Becky Sullivan in PR News, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
