Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton.
On his first day of his second term, President Trump tried to bar citizenship for babies born
“in the U.S. if their parents entered the country illegally, or were only living here temporarily,”
the Supreme Court ruled against him today, but NPR's marginalized and says Trump succeeded in making birthright citizenship a political issue. Trump has really succeeded in pushing the overton window, in other words, changing the parameters of the debate. For this birthright citizenship was outside the parameters, it was a settled matter.
Now it's inside, and even though the Supreme Court reaffirmed the executives' control over immigration policy in other cases, they drew the line at birthright citizenship. And in a weird way, that could be a political boon for him, because if they had ruled for him, there would have been a tremendous amount of chaos to sort out which babies were citizens and which were not.
And now, he can just keep the message without the headaches of implementation. NPR's marginalized and reporting, last week, 146 Venezuelans were deported from the U.S. to Caracas.
“The day to devastating earthquake struck, today, we're learning dozens of them are among”
the nearly 2,000 people killed by the Quakes, and NPR's Sergio Martinez-Baltron reports. That group included men, women, and children. They were in a guided hotel in La Guida, where they were being processed by Venezuelan authorities
when the powerful twin earthquake struck the building pancake.
Now, it's unclear how many people inside survived, reports range from 1,000 to 1,000, but what we do know is that many have died and others remain missing. Angelo Mejia Melendez was 27, he was among those killed, he had promises friends and family to celebrate with them up on his return. Victor Juaní Patoyo is 32 years old, he is missing, his brother is hoping for a miracle to
find him under the rubble. Said heo Martinez-Baltron and P.R. News Americans who lack a trusted healthcare provider or who often turn to social media or AI for health information are more likely to believe vaccine myths, those are among the findings of a new poll from the nonpartisan research group KFF and P.R. Maria Cadoy has more.
At a time when vaccination rates are sliding in the U.S., and measles cases are rising,
the poll found that several common vaccine myths remain pervasive.
For example, at least three in 10 parents said the false claim that the MMR or measles mumps in Rebelle vaccine causes autism is probably or likely true. Liz Hamill of KFF says that belief was strongest among parents who skipped or delayed vaccines for their kids. "So there's a big correlation there between the decisions people are making and their views
on some of these vaccine myths." Overall, the poll found at least half of American adults were not sure what to believe when it comes to vaccine myths. Maria Cadoy and P.R. News Americans' attitudes toward these "the economy" improves slightly this month as gas prices
declined, but their outlook is still mostly negative by historical standards. This is NPR. Thousands of immigrants are leaving South Africa because of a rise in anti-migration anger. Attacks have coincided with a series of protests and marches by anti-immigration groups. Those groups set a deadline of today for the government to take action against unauthorized
immigrants. They haven't specified what will happen when it passes, but authorities have been on high alert. Black Bears are running into people more often in Tennessee. State wildlife officials have reported a higher volume of incidents of bears breaking
car and house windows, Caroline Eggers from Embersation P.W.P.L.N. reports from Gatlinburg. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park has been in some level of drought since November. It's one factor affected by the warming climate that scientists say pushes bears towards human sources of food. This year, Tennessee Wildlife Biologist Janelle Messers says the state has received more than
800 calls about bears.
“I think we have seen really high levels, especially this year, of some extreme human bear”
conflict, stuff that we really honestly haven't even seen in the past. What's really unusual is how often these bears have broken car windows or opened cabin doors. For NPR News, I'm Caroline Eggers and Gatlinburg. Abron James will not be back with the Los Angeles Lakers and plans to play a record extending 24th NBA season elsewhere.
