Chapter 2: What are the latest developments in the U.S.-Iran conflict?
NPR's Anthony Kuhn reports that Japan's government is in a tight spot between friendly relations with Iran and its alliance with the U.S.
Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi told Parliament that both detained individuals are safe and the government is in contact with them. The government has not revealed the identity of the second detainee. The Committee to Protect Journalists says the first one is public broadcaster NHK's Tehran bureau chief. Prime Minister Sanae Takeuchi has aligned Tokyo more closely with Washington.
She says Iran getting nuclear weapons is unacceptable, but she's also refused to comment on whether U.S. attacks on Iran are legal, saying she doesn't have enough information. Japan's balancing act may get even tougher when Takeuchi meets with President Trump at the White House in less than two weeks. Anthony Kuhn, NPR News, Seoul.
A routine court filing in an immigration case in Texas has revealed a nationwide government policy to detain undocumented family members who try to get their children out of immigration detention. Mark Bettencourt has more.
Migrant advocates say it's the first hard evidence of a formal Department of Homeland Security policy to arrest and deport the relatives of detained migrant children. The DHS document says, Operation Guardian Trace led to the arrest of an undocumented Venezuelan man late last year during an interview about getting his teenage children out of federal custody.
Michonne Rowe is an attorney at the National Center for Youth Law. She says the government is legally required to release detained children to their relatives as soon as possible. By arresting the relatives when they try to collect the children, she says it's violating that law.
This confirms what we have known for months, that the government is explicitly and deliberately using children as bait.
DHS did not respond to questions about the policy. For NPR News, I'm Mark Betancourt.
