Chapter 1: What are the latest developments in the U.S.-Ukraine-Russia talks?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. Officials say a second day of talks among the U.S., Ukraine and Russia has ended abruptly in Geneva. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had criticized the discussions earlier. He said yesterday's talks were hard and that Russia is dragging them out.
Indonesia says it's preparing to deploy peacekeeping troops to Gaza as part of President Trump's Board of Peace. NPR's Katerina Barton reports Indonesia is the only country to publicly commit peacekeepers to the effort.
Chapter 2: How is Indonesia contributing to peacekeeping efforts in Gaza?
Indonesia's military says it is offering up to 8,000 peacekeeping troops to support Trump's ceasefire plans in Gaza. And 1,000 among them could enter the war-torn area as soon as early April. The Indonesian president, Praboyo Subianto, is in Washington this week. He's expected to meet with Trump at the inaugural Board of Peace summit on Thursday.
Indonesia's involvement in Gaza has faced criticism from human rights groups, saying this could undermine the country's longstanding support of Palestinian independence. Katerina Barton, NPR News.
A federal law allows local police to be deputized for immigration enforcement duties. They're partnered with ICE officials. The use of these agreements has soared in President Trump's second term. NPR's Jacqueline Diaz has more.
Under the 287G program, state or local police can get the power to question, investigate, or arrest people for civil immigration violations. Data reviewed by NPR shows that as of February 13th, Immigration and Customs Enforcement had reported more than 1,400 such agreements with police. In 2019, there were just 45 such deals.
The Trump administration sees it as a major tool in its immigration agenda. Critics of the program are warning that 287G powers heighten the risk of racial profiling and civil rights violations by local police who get little training in complex immigration law. Jacqueline Diaz, NPR News.
Parts of Northern California are getting their first big winter storm of the season. From Jefferson Public Radio, Jane Vaughn reports it's bringing snow and some hail.
Heavy snowfall has mainly impacted higher elevations across the region, while lower areas are getting hit with rain. James White is a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Eureka. He says this storm signals the return of winter.
We're far below average for snowfall across most of Northern California. So this would be kind of more of a moderate, typical winter storm. It's particularly notable just because we've had so few this year.
The region is facing a variety of weather warnings and advisories. For NPR News, I'm Jane Vaughn.
