Live from NPR News in New York City, I'm Duahli Psycho Town, a $70 billion im...
package is headed to the house after narrowly passing the Senate Friday.
“The measure would provide billions in additional funding for ICE and Border Patrol through”
the remainder of President Trump's term, and appears when Sir Johnston reports. The bill cleared the Senate, after an overnight debate that stretched into the early morning hours on Friday. The reporter say the funding is needed to strengthen border security and expand immigration enforcement operations.
Democrats oppose the measure, arguing it lacks sufficient oversight and could lead to a significant expansion of detention and deportation efforts. The debate was further complicated by controversy surrounding a separate fund, critic said could benefit some Trump allies, though Republican leaders insisted the focus should remain on immigration enforcement.
The house is expected to take up the measure next week. When Sir Johnston and P.R. News, Washington. Israel's Supreme Court has ordered the Israeli government to lift a ban on visits by the International Red Cross to Palestinian prisoners, from Gaza City, and Paris, Anos Bamba, has details.
“The Supreme Court ruled this week that barring prison visits by the International Committee”

And this is NPR from New York City. Northwest Charies are about to ship out across the globe.
This year, about 19 million boxes worth of sweet cherries have ripened up as Northwest public
broadcastings and a King reports. Northwest Charies are already coming off trees. It will be a good harvest, as long as it doesn't rain. Close to picking time, warm rain can pool in the divot near the stem. That can split the fruit, rendering it worthless.
Eric Patrick, the president of the Northwest Cherry Commission, says this year, cherries will be sent to at least 20 different countries. Canada is our largest export country and then we're going to Mexico, but then we also are going to Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Japan. Chilean, Black Pearl and Coral Champaign Charies are some of the varieties that ripened first.
For NPR News, I'm Anna King, in Richland, Washington. Pope Leo has arrived to Spain for the start of a seven day pastoral visit that will take him to Barcelona and the Knaire Islands. At the airport, he was welcomed by the King in Queen of Spain and later at Plaza de Lima in Madrid, he was greeted by tens of thousands of young people waving the country's flag,
which is three horizontal colors, red, yellow and red. Some of the young believers shouted this is the youth of the Pope. Ahead of his visit aboard the papal plant, Leo had joked with reporters that he's competing with another VIP visiting this weekend, Bad Bunny, who has two shows in the capital.
