The largest nurses union in the country is organizing nationwide protests today against federal immigration authorities. From member station KALW, Anna Casalme reports the protests are planned in several states.
National Nurses United, which represents more than 200,000 registered nurses, is demanding that Congress abolish ICE and use that funding for services like Medicare and Medicaid. They say immigration enforcement agencies have become a threat to public health. Pomi Neal is a registered nurse in Santa Clara, California.
Hospitals are places of sanctuary, and to nurses, nobody is illegal. And nobody should, you know, put off seeking care because of the threat of ICE.

A jury in Los Angeles heard testimony yesterday from the CEO of big tech company Meta. Mark Zuckerberg is defending against a lawsuit that alleges some social media platforms target children younger than 13 years old. NPR's Bobby Allen says the outcome of this civil lawsuit will affect others.
This case is tied to 1,600 other pending cases. They were filed by parents, by school districts, all of them saying that social media caused all these mental health issues. They've been consolidated into one case.
And depending on how this verdict in Los Angeles comes down, you know, that could potentially shape outcomes in all these other cases, meaning there's billions of dollars in monetary damages on the line and potentially major changes to the social media landscape.

Netflix is the latest media giant to push back against ByteDance this week when it sent the Chinese company a cease and desist letter. Netflix accuses ByteDance of allowing its latest AI video creation tool, Seedance 2.0, to generate hyper-realistic imitations of characters from such Netflix-owned shows as Bridgerton and Squid Game.
Industry stakeholders, including the Motion Picture Association, have also joined the backlash. The uproar began last week after a video depicting a fight scene between two figures closely resembling Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt went viral. In an email to NPR, ByteDance said it respects intellectual property rights and is taking steps to strengthen current safeguards, but did not say how.
