Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Wednesday about birthright citizenship.
“President Trump argues that citizenship should not be guaranteed if the parents came to”
the U.S. illegally as NPR's Dominican Montenaro explains public opinion is split on the matter. It's complicated and nuanced. I mean, Americans are heavily in favor of granting citizenship to children born to parents who were also born in the United States, or those who emigrated to the U.S. legally,
but they're split on or much less in support of automatic citizenship for children born to parents who emigrated illegally. For example, a few research centers survey found 9 and 10 are for it for children born to U.S. citizens, but they were split 50 to 49 for babies born to those without legal status or who cross the border illegally.
You go, found it to be even lower than that. And I'll note that there's a wide range of percentages when you look at other polls on this, even among a very reputable surveys.
“NPR's Dominican Montenaro reporting in Lebanon officials say more than 1,200 people have”
been killed during an Israeli invasion, more than 1 million have been displaced, and 3 UN peacekeepers have been killed in the past 24 hours. The UN hasn't determined yet who is responsible, but has condemned the attacks as NPR's Michelle Kalman reports. The head of UN peacekeeping jump here, LaQuasse, as two Indonesian peacekeepers were killed
in an explosion that hit a logistics convoy. Another Indonesian was killed Sunday when a UN base was held. LaQuasse is both incidents are under investigation, and it's not clear if the latest attack was a shelling or a roadside bomb.
We strongly condemn these unacceptable incidents, and peacekeepers must never be a target.
LaQuasse is in constant contact with the Israeli military, which has expanded what he described as a buffer zone inside Lebanon, as it tries to push his blow off for their north. The UN is constrained in what it can do LaQuasse's, the UN's mandate there ends this year. Michelle Kalman and PR news, the State Department.
NASA says preparations are going smoothly for a Wednesday launch attempt for the Artemis 2 mission, as NPR's NL Greenfield boy reports. It's the first moon mission since the 1970s. The four-person crew is in quarantine at Kennedy Space Center, where a 322-foot tall rocket is being readied at the launch pad.
The crew includes a few firsts for a moon mission, the first person of color, the first
woman, and the first non-American, a Canadian space agency astronaut named Jeremy Hanson.
At a press briefing, Hanson said their flight is actually a collaboration with lots of international partners. "It's not just three Americans in a Canadian, it is people literally around the world and it's a beautiful thing." Their space journey is expected to last about 10 days.
They'll test out their capsule systems close to Earth, and if all looks good, they'll go on a looping trip around the moon and back. NL Greenfield boys and PR news. This is NPR News.
“A deadly gang attack in one of Haiti's most important farming regions is raising new concerns”
about the spread of violence, Harold Isaac reports as many as 80 people were killed. Residents say, heavily armed fighters, stormed communities in the Artibanid Valley, before dawn on Sunday, setting homes on fire and shooting at civilians. Some victims were reportedly burned alive. Local authorities have confirmed, at least 16 deaths, but the United Nations says, the
toll could be significantly higher. The assault is being blamed on the concrete gang, which says it was retaliating against a rival group. Aid workers and residents say gang members blocked roads and destroyed bridges.
The attack highlights how insecurity is spreading into rural areas, critical to Haiti's
food supply, far beyond the capital. For NPR News, I'm Harold Isaac, in Porter Prince.
