Immigration officers have clearance to make arrests in schools and churches, places previously considered off-limits. We're getting them out of the country. They're going to be gotten out of the country first. How do the new rules change law enforcement? I'm Steve Inskeep with Leila Fadl, and this is Up First from NPR News.
The president's pick to lead the Pentagon faces one more round of criticism. Pete Hegseth denied many accusations about his personal conduct and also spoke of his redemption. Now his former sister-in-law has sent an affidavit adding to the allegations. How's that affect his nomination?

President Trump's administration is rolling out its immigration actions day by day.
The federal government is broadening the number of people targeted for deportation and widening the locations where agents may arrest them.
NPR immigration policy reporter Ximena Bustillo has been following all these developments. She's in our studios. Ximena, thanks for coming by.
Good morning.
OK, we've heard things the administration is saying and gradually we're finding out how far they will go. Just a few weeks ago, December 16th, an advisor to the president was on NPR and was played a prediction about, quote, businesses being raided and, quote, kids not in your schools. And Mary Louise Kelly asked Jason Miller what he thought. Jason Miller, is he wrong?
And I chuckle not because I'm taking the issue lightly, because it is such a bat, you know what, insane comment for this gentleman to make.
So dismissing the idea of people vanishing from schools, what are we learning now?
Well, the administration has now cleared the way for arrests in schools. The old rule said that schools as well as places of worship, health care facilities and a list of other areas were off limits to arrests of people suspected of being without legal status. Now the acting secretary of Homeland Security has rescinded those guidelines, which the Trump administration says limits law enforcement from doing its job. My colleague Brian Mann spoke with Bishop Matthew Hyde, who leads the Episcopal Diocese of New York. And Hyde disputes the idea in the administration's announcement that criminal migrants were, quote, hiding in schools and churches.
This ministry of sanctuary is central to who we are. Our congregations and our service programs welcome everybody. This is what our faith calls us to do.
But we don't know yet how immigration enforcement agencies are planning to ramp up their operations.
Okay, so we'll keep watching that to see how far it goes. What else is the administration saying about immigration?
The department also issued two notices to start the process of implementing some of Trump's executive actions. One includes phasing out humanitarian parole programs. This includes the program that granted permission for certain people from Nicaragua, Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela to be in the U.S.
