Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh. The Supreme Court will weigh in on President Trump's bid to roll back automatic birthright citizenship for nearly everyone born on U.S. soil. Trump wants to limit it to those who have at least one parent who is a permanent resident or citizen. The man accused of planting two pipe bombs near the U.S.
Capitol the night before a mob of Trump supporters stormed the building nearly five years ago was in federal court today in Washington, D.C. This was Brian Cole Jr. 's first court appearance since his arrest yesterday. Here's NPR's Ryan Lucas.
Brian Cole Jr. is charged with transporting an explosive device with intent to kill and with attempted malicious destruction with explosive materials. At his initial court appearance, Cole was dressed in a beige jumpsuit and glasses. He stared at the table in front of him as the magistrate judge read the charges against him, and Cole answered yes when asked if he understood.
Prosecutors said Cole had spoken with law enforcement for more than four hours Thursday following his arrest, but they didn't provide any details in court on what he said. The judge set a detention hearing for later this month. Ryan Lucas and BR News, Washington.

Chapter 2: What Supreme Court case is being discussed regarding birthright citizenship?
NPR's Rob Stein reports on why the advisory panel decided to re-examine the long-established vaccinations for infants.
This committee was put together by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has long questioned many vaccines and has launched a major review of all childhood vaccinations.
Some members of this CDC committee argue that there's insufficient evidence that giving all newborns the vaccine when they're so young is really necessary, given that the hepatitis B vaccine is often spread through sex or drug use. They also question whether it's safe to immunize babies so early in life.
Rob Stein reporting. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the president does have the constitutional power to fire members of two independent agencies at will, despite federal laws to the contrary. More from NPR's Andrea Hsu.
In a two-to-one decision, the court ruled that President Trump's firings of National Labor Relations Board member Gwen Wilcox and Merit Systems Protection Board member Kathy Harris were lawful, despite federal laws that state they can only be fired for cause.
The appeals court found that a 1935 Supreme Court decision limiting the president's power to remove officers at multi-member independent agencies like theirs doesn't apply here because both agencies wield substantial executive power. On Monday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a similar case.
The Trump administration has asked the court to strike down that 1935 precedent and recognize that the president has unlimited power to remove those who assist him in carrying out his duties. Andrea Hsu, NPR News.
