The Trump administration's put together a 15-point ceasefire plan for Iran, this was first
“reported by the New York Times, and Israel's channel 12, which published a summary.”
And Pierre has not seen the plan, but has learned some changes have been made to that early version of the plan. Meanwhile, paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division are preparing to deploy to the mid-East. This could signal an escalation, and possible use of ground troops in the war.
Pierre's Quill Lawrence has more. Two to 3,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne, based in Fort Bragg North Carolina have received written orders to deploy to the Middle East, according to a U.S. government official who is not authorized to speak publicly. The soldiers will come from the Division's immediate response force, which is able to mobilize
worldwide with an 18 hours to do a variety of missions. Along with two marine expeditionary units already sailing toward the Persian Gulf, this could
“bring about 6 to 8,000 American ground troops in close proximity to Iran.”
President Trump has alternately said he would not put boots on the ground, and that he won't rule it out. Quill Lawrence and Pierre news. There appears to be a plan to fund the Department of Homeland Security, but President Trump has said he's not happy with the deal, and Senate Democrats want changes.
After federal immigration agents shot and killed to American protesters in Minneapolis, the partial DHS shutdown means TSA agents are not getting paid for airport security, hundreds are calling out or quitting. The President has sent ICE agents to some major airports, but Puerto Rico Democratic Congressman Pablo Jose Hernandez says ICE agents may be scaring passengers.
We're concerned that they are still in fear that, you know, the ACLU has stated concerns that they're turning domestic terminals into international terminals, and that there
“have been so-called consensual encounters, where they ask people about their citizenship status.”
Despite ICE agents going to some airports, long lines are still being reported at security. The artificial intelligence company, OpenAI, says it's discontinuing a tool for making AI video. And Pierre's Jeff Brumfield reports, this tool was widely used to generate fake videos of real events.
OpenAI says it's discontinuing its Sora tool, which could generate 10 second videos of virtually anything imaginable, like this fake video showing Venice, Whalen, celebrating in the streets after the U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro.
Those celebrations never happened, neither did scores of fake videos of ICE agents, attacks
on Israel and Iran, or countless other so-called news events generated by Sora, experts say even if the app has gone AI video is here to stay, and it's making it harder than ever to tell what's real and what is fake. Jeff Brumfield and Pierre News. You're listening to NPR.
The head of the National Transportation Safety Board is urging patients in the investigation into the deadly crash at New York's Laguardia Airport Sunday night. Two pilots were killed. CBS B. Chair, Jennifer Hammondie, says it's too early in the investigation to make assumptions that air traffic controllers were distracted.
She says quote, "This is a heavy workload environment." A network of families that is helped scientists understand Alzheimer's disease is facing an uncertain future, and Pierre's John Hamilton reports. The family's carry very rare gene mutations that cause Alzheimer's to appear in Middle Age.
For nearly two decades, the National Institutes of Health has funded research on these families through a group called the "Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's Network." Dr. Tammy Benzinger of Walsh Umedicine says it's unclear whether that will continue amid cuts in research by the Trump administration. The network that's been built up without funding all of that would fall apart.
In 2025, the NIH rejected a grant application that would have brought about $13 million in
the first year. Instead, the network got about $8 million and no money for international sites, which account for about half of its families. The current funding is scheduled to run out on June 30, John Hamilton and PR News. The National Weather Service says a heat dome is expanding from the west coast into the central
U.S. The service says more than 200 record or near record heat temperatures are predicted across the southern half of the U.S. through the end of the week. John record temperatures are expected to persist in the southwest. I'm Corva Coleman, NPR News.
