What’s driving the renewed fighting on the Thailand‑Cambodia border?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Rahm. Fighting erupted for a third day today between Thailand and Cambodia along their disputed border. At least thirty people have been killed since Thursday. President Trump said he spoke with the leaders of both countries today and told them to stop. He said he won't make trade deals with either country if they're fighting. The president is in Scotland to discuss trade with British and European leaders. Some Democratic leaders say they're preparing to counter a controversial push by President Trump and other Republicans to redraw Texas' map of congressional voting districts. MPR's Hanzi Luong reports on the political fight that could determine which party controls the U.
S.
How could the proposed Texas congressional map affect the 2026 House balance?
House of Representatives after next year's midterm election.
The Texas Republican Party has said redrawing the boundaries of congressional districts is quote an essential step to preserving GOP control in Congress and advancing President Trump's agenda. And Trump himself said this month he wants a new Texas map that helps Republicans pick up five more seats in the U.S. House.
There could be some other states we're gonna get another three or four or five in addition.
House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York says Democrats are preparing to sue. This
is a five alarm fire. Now is the time for us to act.
Any democratic push to redo congressional maps may face legal hurdles.
Why is Florida’s governor accelerating deportation flights from the Everglades detention center?
In California, an independent commission, not the legislature, is responsible for redistricting. And in New York, redrawing maps at this point of the decade is not allowed unless ordered by court. Hanzi Lewong, NPR News.
The governor of Florida says deportation flights have begun from an immigration detention center in southern Florida. NPR's Greg Allen reports, elected officials and lawyers for detainees have filed lawsuits after being denied access to the facility.
Governor Ron DeSantis says a hundred detainees who had final removal orders have been deported from the facility, located at an airport in the heart of the Everglades.
This provides an ability uh to enhance the mission to increase the number and frequency of deportations.
DeSantis says hundreds more have been flown from the facility to other locations in the U.S. before being deported.
What happened during the University of New Mexico shooting and its aftermath?
Several lawsuits are challenging operations at the facility, including one filed by attorneys who've been denied access to their clients. Florida's emergency management director says the lawyers weren't allowed to speak to their clients for technology issues, but that on site representation will be possible by Monday. Greg Allen in PR News, Miami.
The University of New Mexico in Albuquerque was locked down for several hours yesterday after a shooting. A fourteen year old boy was killed and a nineteen year old man was wounded. University of New Mexico police chief Joseph Silva says it happened early yesterday morning in a dorm room.
It appears that at this time that the uh uh individuals were playing video games in a uh residence that did belong to a uh a UNM student.
After several hours an eighteen year old man was taken into custody.
Why are thousands protesting in Kuala Lumpur demanding the prime minister’s resignation?
This is NPR News in Washington. Thousands of people demonstrated in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur today, demanding the Prime Minister resign. It's the largest protest since Anwar Ibrahim took office in twenty twenty two. People say he didn't bring about promised reforms and has not addressed the high cost of living. In letters to Congress and in public protests in recent days, former National Park Service employees are warning that President Trump's large cuts to the agency will devastate the parks environment and the local economies around them. NPR's Kirk Ziegler reports from one tourist
town outside Glacier National Park. National parks have faced billions of dollars in backlogs for maintenance and infrastructure projects for a decade now. But tourism boosters like Zach Anderson, who runs Explore Whitefish, are worried that the Trump administration's latest cuts could erode the park experience so much that tourists will start going elsewhere.
