Chapter 2: What is happening with the El Salvador migrant deportation case?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. The president of El Salvador is meeting with President Trump at the White House today. Nayib Bukele says he has no intention of returning a migrant from Maryland who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador. NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports.
Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen who had lived in Maryland for about 15 years, was deported to El Salvador despite being granted protections by an immigration judge. He is now in custody in Bukele's mega-prison known as SICOT. The Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return. A reporter asked Bukele if he'd return Abrego-Garcia.
Chapter 3: What is Nayib Bukele's response to the deportation controversy?
The question is preposterous. How can I dismantle a terrorist into the United States? I don't have the power to return him to the United States.
Chapter 4: What are the latest developments regarding the deported Salvadoran man?
The administration has acknowledged that Abrego Garcia was deported due to an administrative error. But now, Trump aide Stephen Miller is saying he was not mistakenly deported. Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR News, the White House.

Chapter 6: What is NVIDIA's plan for new AI computer factories in the U.S.?
A magnitude 5.2 earthquake has struck near Julian, California, in San Diego County with multiple aftershocks. As of now, there are no reports of injuries or major structural damage. The semiconductor company, NVIDIA, says it's going to build new AI computer factories in the U.S. over the next four years. NPR's Emily Fang reports it's an investment worth about $500 billion.
Chapter 7: How are U.S. government controls affecting NVIDIA's AI chip sales to China?
Under the Biden administration, some NVIDIA products used in artificial intelligence computing have come under U.S. controls that banned their sale to China. It's a move to prevent China from acquiring dominance in AI. NPR reported last week the U.S.
Chapter 8: What is the significance of NVIDIA's CEO attending a Mar-a-Lago event?
had been mulling more controls on one of NVIDIA's most advanced chips, but paused them after NVIDIA's founder and CEO attended a $1 million-a-person dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Trump this month. This week, NVIDIA said it'll build two new supercomputer factories in Texas, their first such facilities in the United States. Most of their manufacturing is currently in Taiwan.
Chinese companies have been buying up NVIDIA products in case of a U.S. ban, and China is one of NVIDIA's biggest markets. Emily Fang, NPR News, Washington.
A federal judge is ordering the White House to unfreeze funding that was allocated to the state of Maine from the Department of Agriculture. The money was withheld after President Trump clashed with Governor Janet Mills over the issue of transgender athletes. Mills told MSNBC the administration doesn't have the power to ban these athletes from girls' and women's sports.
Every fifth-grade civic student knows that there are three branches of government and that the chief executive is required by the Constitution to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, not to make the laws.
The state of Maine had filed a lawsuit to stop the government from freezing federal money. On Wall Street, the Dow was up 326 points. This is NPR News. A Blue Origin rocket brought an all-female crew to the edge of space on Monday morning. NPR's Rachel Treisman reports the flight was brief but noteworthy.
The six-person crew included singer Katy Perry, journalist Gayle King, and Lauren Sanchez, who is the fiancé of Blue Origin owner Jeff Bezos. This was the first all-female flight since 1963, when a Soviet cosmonaut became the first woman in space. The Blue Origin flight took just over 10 minutes. The capsule reached about 62 miles above sea level before parachuting back down to West Texas.
Passengers all said the experience has inspired them, in Perry's case, to write a new song. Rachel Triesman, NPR News.
The Federal Aviation Administration says the company that operated the sightseeing helicopter, which crashed in New York City last week, has shut down. All six people were killed when the helicopter broke apart and plunged into the Hudson River. New York Senator Chuck Schumer is calling for tighter safety regulations on tour companies, including surprise inspections.
I'm demanding the FAA increase what are called ramp inspections at other helicopter tour companies. A ramp inspection is a surprise inspection. They show up unannounced.
