What recent developments occurred regarding the war in Iran?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Rahm. Today's planned talks in Pakistan on the war in Iran are canceled. President Trump said he told his negotiators not to go to Islamabad, saying there is tremendous infighting and confusion within the Iranian leadership and nobody knows who's in charge.

This case centers on a DACA recipient who was detained by Customs and Border Protection while boarding a domestic flight last summer.
She was later released from immigration detention in October, and a federal immigration judge said that her DACA status protected her from deportation. The Department of Homeland Security has appealed. It argues that DACA protections are not absolute and are subject to discretion. Ximena Bustillo, Empire News.
