Chapter 2: What legal actions are being taken against the Trump administration regarding National Guard deployment?
Federal District Judge Karen Immergut Sunday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying any National Guard units to Oregon. Trump says Portland is crime-ridden and Guard members are needed to protect federal property. But city officials say he's wrong. The ruling came after Trump ordered California Guard members to deploy to Oregon.
From member station OPB, Joni Audenland reports that decision came after the same federal judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon National Guard troops to Portland.
Chapter 3: How is the Supreme Court addressing presidential power this term?
On Saturday night, more than 100 California National Guard members landed in Oregon, says the state's governor, Tina Kotek. That same day, a federal judge had issued a restraining order preventing Trump from deploying the Oregon National Guard. Judge Karen Emmerget said the federal government lacked the justification to take control of the state's National Guard.
Governor Kotek said in a statement that the Trump administration was attempting to circumvent the restraining order. Trump has repeatedly described Portland as war-ravaged by protests around the city's ICE detention facility.
Chapter 4: What negotiations are taking place regarding President Trump's peace plan for Gaza?
The governors of California and Oregon have promised to fight the deployment. For NPR News, I'm Joni Audenland in Portland, Oregon.
The Supreme Court begins its October term this week, and a number of the cases before the justices involved the standard the court set last term concerning the scope of presidential power. NPR's Kerry Johnson.
One case involves the president sweeping tariffs. Two others involve the firing of a Democratic commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission and Trump's attempt to fire Lisa Cook on the Federal Reserve Board.
Chapter 5: What recent developments have occurred in the Gaza conflict?
There are a few more cases on the emergency docket now that could get a full hearing from the Supreme Court. A White House spokeswoman, Abigail Jackson, says the Supreme Court has consistently upheld the Trump administration's policies despite an unprecedented number of legal challenges.
She says the president will continue to carry out the policy agenda the voters elected him to pursue, and that he will be vindicated by higher courts.
That's NPR's national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson with our report. Negotiations begin in Egypt tomorrow over President Trump's peace plan for Gaza. It's a pivotal moment in a war that's lasted almost two years, and there's a lot left to negotiate.
Chapter 6: How are Jewish communities commemorating the anniversary of Hamas attacks?
NPR's Daniel Estrin has our reports.
President Trump asked Israel to stop bombing Gaza at this stage of negotiations, and yet Israel's bombardment does continue there. Gaza health officials say scores of Palestinians were killed just in the last day in Israeli strikes, and NPR's Anas Baba recorded this overnight. So you hear the sound of a war plane and an airstrike.
An Israeli official told us that Israel is limiting its activity now in Gaza to defensive activities, not offensive. We don't know how exactly that is being defined, but there really is now hope in Gaza and in Israel that this could be the beginning of the end.
That's NPR's Daniel Estrin, and you're listening to NPR News. Jewish groups are holding events Tuesday to mark the second anniversary of the Hamas attacks on Israel. Those attacks left about 1,200 people dead and 250 others were taken hostage.
As Chuck Kornbach reports, attendees in Milwaukee are hoping a proposed U.S.-backed peace agreement between Israel and Hamas will end the fighting that the attacks prompted.
About 200 people sang the Israeli national anthem at the Jewish Community Center in the Milwaukee suburb of Whitefish Bay. The Sunday afternoon event also included prayers and remembrances. Donna Kleiner says this year's ceremony comes as a proposed peace agreement between Hamas and Israel leaves her cautiously optimistic.
You know, I think it's the world finally and the region coming together.
But Kleiner says she's also aware that other peace proposals have failed to end the war. For NPR News, I'm Chuck Quirmbach in Milwaukee.
