President Trump insists he has the authority to possibly deploy federal troops next to San Francisco under the Insurrection Act because he says the city has deteriorated in recent years. Returning to Washington on Air Force One, Trump clarified his earlier remarks he made Sunday on Fox News.
We're trying to do it in a very nice way. I'm allowed, as you know, as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. They can use that. And everybody agrees you're allowed to use that. And there's no more court cases. There's no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner. But we can always use the Insurrection Act if we want.
The Brennan Center for Social Justice says the Insurrection Act has not been invoked since the 1992 Los Angeles riots. Israel has carried out its fiercest wave of airstrikes since a ceasefire took effect almost a week ago in its war in Gaza. At least 35 Palestinians were killed.

Chapter 2: What authority does President Trump claim regarding federal troops in San Francisco?
The wave of Israeli airstrikes began early Sunday after Israel's military said it was attacked in southern Gaza by Hamas militants. The military later confirmed two Israeli soldiers were killed by Hamas. Gaza's health officials say among the dozens of Palestinians killed were two children.
An Israeli official speaking to the media on condition of anonymity said Israel halted the movement of all trucks inside Gaza, but later a spokesman said the military will abide by the ceasefire. Israeli officials say they have also closed the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza indefinitely until Hamas returns bodies of deceased hostages at a, quote, reasonable pace.
Hamas says it needs heavy equipment and international help to reach more bodies. Carrie Khan, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
China is accusing the United States National Security Agency of launching a long-term cyber attack on the agency that sets the broadcast for the country's official time. Asha's Valentine's reports the U.S. has not commented on the allegations.
China's Ministry of State Security says the attack on its National Time Service Center started three years ago. U.S. intelligence allegedly used 42 types of cyber weapons to spy on staff members' cell phones and computer networks and steal private information from the agency.
Besides setting the time, the center broadcasts information that's vital for China's communications, power, finance, and even defense. China and the U.S. have increasingly traded allegations of cyber attacks over the past few years. Each paints the other as one of its primary cyber foes. For NPR News, I'm Ashish Valentine in Taipei.
