Chapter 2: What events are taking place during King Charles and Queen Camilla's visit to New York City?
After a well-received speech to both houses of Congress with a call for democracy and the rule of law, King Charles and Queen Camilla will spend today in New York City, as Bruce Convisor reports.
The royal couple's first stop will be a visit to Ground Zero. 25 years after the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, the king and queen will attend a wreath-laying ceremony. They'll meet first responders and family members of those who were killed. Mayor Zoran Mamdani has been invited to attend the ceremony, but no private meeting with the king is planned.
Security, which is always tight for a royal visit, is expected to be heightened in the aftermath of the weekend shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Traffic jams are expected from one end of Manhattan to the other. The subway stop at the World Trade Center will be temporarily closed.
After the morning ceremony, King Charles will travel up to Harlem to see how a grassroots organization educates young people on urban farming and food security. For NPR News, I'm Bruce Kahnweiser in New York.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will be on Capitol Hill today. He's appearing before the House Armed Services Committee and will likely be questioned about the Iran war and his firing of top generals and other military leaders.
The Supreme Court hears arguments today testing whether the Trump administration can move forward with mass deportations of individuals living and working legally in the U.S. under a law that provides temporary legal status for people unable to return safely to their home countries because of natural disasters, armed conflicts, and other extraordinary and temporary conditions.
Here's NPR's Nina Totenberg.
In 1990, Congress enacted a law to establish criteria for selecting, processing, and registering those eligible to remain in the U.S. with vetting and renewal required every 18 months. Currently, 17 countries are designated as covered under the law, but the Trump administration is trying to do away with it,
maintaining that under the explicit terms of the statute, its actions simply are not subject to review by the courts. Nina Totenberg, NPR News, Washington.
