Why is the Department of Homeland Security planning to use military bases for migrant detention?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Kristen Wright. NPR has learned the Department of Homeland Security is preparing to use military bases to detain migrants who've entered the country illegally. NPR's Tom Bowman reports.
The bases include the National Guard's Camp Atterbury, Indiana, and also the active duty Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey. And both locations will be used for temporary housing for those who have connections to transnational criminal organizations or criminal drug activity. Now the military airfield at the New Jersey location will be used for, I'm told, removal operations. I'm told the Pentagon will allow up to two contracted commercial flights by ICE at a time.
ICE, or Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is also planning to increased the number of migrants detained at the U.S.
How could Texas’s special‑session redistricting map affect the 2024 House balance?
Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay. State lawmakers in Texas began a special session today that's set to produce a controversial new map of congressional voting districts. As NPR's Hansi Lo Wang reports, Texas is one of multiple states that may hold next year's midterm elections using new voting maps.
Redistricting is usually a once-a-decade process after a census. But four years after the release of the results from the 2020 headcount, Republican Governor Greg Abbott has called a special session of the Republican-controlled legislature to redraw Texas' congressional map with the support of President Trump.
Just a very simple redrawing. We pick up five seats.
There are a handful of other states in the South, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, North and South Carolina, plus Utah and Wisconsin, that may end up with new congressional maps soon through lawsuits. And Ohio has to redistrict for its seats in the U.S.
What authority does former President Trump claim to intervene in the Commanders’ stadium deal?
House because of a state law. With a narrowly divided Congress, it all means that any changes with voting districts could make a big difference in whether Republicans keep control of the House or lose it to the Democrats. Anzi Luong, NPR News.
President Trump says if Washington, D.C.' 's NFL team, the Commanders, doesn't change its name back to its original name, then he'll intervene in the deal for the team's new stadium in the city. NPR's Deepa Shivaram has more.
Over the weekend in a post to Truth Social, his social media platform, Trump called the commander's name, quote, ridiculous and said they'd be more valuable as a team if they went by their old name, which was a slur for Native Americans. He said he may put a, quote, restriction on the team's new stadium deal that is poised to move them from Maryland back into D.C.,
Which foreign ministers issued a joint statement condemning the Gaza situation today?
What authority Trump has to get involved in a matter determined by the D.C. City Council is unclear. But today, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt said the president was serious about his remarks. Trump also said Cleveland's baseball team, the Guardians, should revert back to their original name, the Indians. Deepa Shivaram, NPR News.

What were the circumstances surrounding Malcolm Jamal Warner’s death?
As NPR's Anastasia Tsiyoulkis reports, he was best known for playing the teenaged Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show.

The country's Judicial Investigation Department says he got caught in a current he could not escape. Fellow beachgoers pulled him out, but he could not be revived. Warner gained fame in the mid-1980s for his role as the only son of the Cosby clan. Terry, your ear looks red. If I want to put an earring on my ear, that's my business.
