What recent events led to the deployment of National Guard troops in Chicago?
President Trump has authorized 300 National Guard troops to Chicago, where the Department of Homeland Security says officers in a neighborhood on the south side of the city shot an armed woman and injured her on Saturday. Chicago police say the incident is now under federal investigation. At the scene of the shooting, protesters gathered.
I go home! I go home! I go home!
In the crowd of his alderman, Byron Sigjo Lopez, standing at Chicago's 25th Ward.
...to go and terrorize families in the middle of the night, ziplocking kids, getting people naked in the middle of the street. Is that public safety? Is this public safety? Ended up with a shooting?
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said on social media that she's sending additional special operations to control the scene in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood. As Israel and Hamas inch towards a peace agreement, there's cautious optimism that the Trump administration's proposal could finally bring an end to the war. But the conditions in Gaza remain desperate. And Perez Michael Levitt reports.
Humanitarian organizations say that the need for aid corridors to the besieged territory remains urgent. It's been over a month since famine was declared in Gaza. UNICEF spokesperson James Elder says the need goes beyond food supplies. He spoke to NPR from Gaza, where he has been visiting hospitals.
painkillers have not been allowed in, or it's hygiene kits, or it's hygiene pads for girls, or it's incubators. I just was at a hospital two days ago. You're talking about three premature babies on a bed sharing oxygen. What possible reason is there to deny incubators?
Elder says there is hope among Palestinians amid news of progress on a peace deal. Hope, he says, is literally all they have. Michael Levitt, NPR News.
The party of a billionaire christened the Czech Trump has taken the top spot in Czech elections. Terry Schultz reports.
Populist ex-Prime Minister Andrei Babich has made a political comeback, with his party winning more than a third of the votes cast in a two-day election for Parliament. Babish, who even adopted a MAGA-like red baseball cap with white lettering for the campaign, has pledged to reduce his country's support for Ukraine and to oppose some EU policies on migration and environmental protection. Center-right Prime Minister Petro Fiala conceded defeat but vowed continued activism. I will not give up the fight against populism and extremism, he told supporters. I'm not giving up the fight. A Czech online research group found hundreds of anonymous TikTok accounts were getting millions of views for pro-Russian anti-government posts in the run-up to the vote.

This is NPR. A candlelight vigil was held outside of Dallas City Hall Friday evening to mourn the loss of two migrants killed in last month's shooting outside the Dallas Ice Field office. From member station KERA, Priscilla Rice reports the message was to remember the victims.
The vigil included remarks from community activists, a prayer, and candles to honor the victims. Norlan Guzman Fuentes from El Salvador died in the attack, and Miguel Angel Garcia Hernandez from Mexico died almost a week later from his injuries. Immigration attorney Eric Cedillo represents Garcia's wife. He told the audience much of the focus following the shooting has been on law enforcement.
But the reality of this shooting was that the victims... are the names right over there and the families that they've left behind.
A third man, Jose Andres Bordones Molina of Venezuela, was injured in the shooting and moved to a detention center after his release from the hospital. For NPR News, I'm Priscilla Rice in Dallas.
