Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.689 - 19.105 Ryland Barton

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. President Trump and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the fragile ceasefire in Gaza at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida today. Trump says he wants to get to the next phase of the plan quickly, as NPR's Franco Ordonez reports.

That phase includes the disarmament of Hamas, which of course they've been resisting.

Chapter 2: What recent discussions have taken place regarding the ceasefire in Gaza?

23.312 - 41.879 Franco Ordonez

It also means reconstruction and establishing a new governing structure. But the so-called ceasefire has really been rocky, with violence breaking out between Israeli defense forces and Gaza militants. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed as a result, many of them children, according to health officials.

Also, while almost all of the hostages have been released, one final hostage has not been returned.

NPR's Franco Ordonez reporting, a new Texas state law requiring most sheriff's offices to enter into an agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement goes into effect next month. Priscilla Rice of member station KERA reports some local immigration advocates worry it'll keep migrants from reporting crime.

Senate Bill 8 requires sheriff's offices that operate a county jail to participate in a 287G agreement with ICE, which would permit ICE to task local officials with enforcing immigration law. Migrant advocacy groups like Vecinos Unidos DFW and El Movimiento want North Texas sheriffs to reject the agreement.

Asael, a community organizer with both groups who asked to only use his first name, says the law will increase fear and distrust in migrant communities.

I think it would drive victims and witnesses of crimes into the shadows. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their communities without being targeted.

Supporters of the bill say it increases public safety. For NPR News, I'm Priscilla Rice in Dallas.

A retired public school teacher is suing San Francisco and the city's police department, arguing its use of flock safety license plate reader cameras amounts to unconstitutional mass surveillance. Rachel Miro has more from KQED.

The federal complaint argues San Francisco is feeding a surveillance dragnet accessible by federal agencies, including ICE. Similar lawsuits have been filed against Oakland and San Jose. If successful, the San Francisco suit could have implications far beyond the city, as license plate reader systems are now used by thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country.
