"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
President Trump says his "board of peace" has reached a deal with the militant group
“Hamas to completely disarm, but Hamas is disputing that, and his really prime minister”
Benjamin Netanyahu has so far been silent. If he has Franco or Donus, has more." Like so many of these things, a lot comes down to the details, and obviously the execution
of those, the problem seems to be a disagreement over what comes first, whether it's Israel
pulling out of Gaza or Hamas handing over their weapons. Now the board of peace says, quote, "Withdraw must move in lockstep, with the decommissioning, but a senior Hamas official told NPR that they would only give up their weapons if Israel withdraws from Gaza first." And here's Franco or Donus.
This as Trump and Israel are still involved in another war against Iran, which a new poll from the AP finds most Americans, nearly two-thirds, say, isn't worth it. Body cam footage from federal immigration agents out on patrol in Los Angeles captures them using racial slurs about Latinos they're targeting for arrest. The videos are part of a federal lawsuit accusing ICE and border patrol agents of racial profiling.
The following from NPR's Adrian Floreto includes audio of the slurs.
In this video from last year, two agents are talking after an immigration raid.
"I checked one guy's ID. There's a guy, I'm pretty sure he's wet, you just sit in them, anyway." There was a guy, I'm pretty sure he was wet when Agent says, a shortened version of wet-back, a racial slur for Mexicans. In another video, an agent points out the driver of a nearby car.
"Look, look, look, look like it's on the driver's seat." Tonk is a derogatory term for a migrant, it refers to the sound when an agent's flashlight strikes a migrants' head. The ACLU obtained the footage as part of a lawsuit accusing immigration agents of targeting people because they look Latino. The government says its agents don't racially profile.

"AI has become closely associated with layoffs, but a recent study suggests some companies may have cut workers too quickly, and peers Windsor Johnston has more." A recent study by the business management group, Gartner, predicts that by 2027, half of the companies that cut customer service jobs because of AI will hire people back and similar roles. Researchers say many businesses misjudged the transition. Kathy Ross is
a vice president analyst at Gartner.
“"I think in some cases we've overestimated how easy it might be for AI to automate entire”
roles, and it's continuing to evolve, but not at the pace to where it can actually thrive complete role elimination." The study also found only 20% of customer service leaders have actually reduced staffing because of AI, Windsor Johnston and PR News. You're listening to NPR News from Washington.
After winning an emergency nominating convention last weekend, Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson is sprinting to assemble his campaign team for his run against Republican incumbent Susan Collins. Steve Misler from Member Station, Maine Public has more." Jackson became the Democrats nominee after a battle to Graham Platner stepped aside after allegations of sexual misconduct, but Jackson is hoping he can harness the voter enthusiasm
generated by Platner's run. "I do think that we are on the right side of this, that people are energized because of the poor government that we have, and I think it's possible." Jackson's political career was launched nearly 30 years ago during a labor protest at the Canadian border.
He has fewer than 100 days to mount a campaign against Collins, who was seeking her sixth term. For NPR News, I'm Steve Misler, and Brunswick Maine. The State Department is raising the number of special commemorative passports featuring President Trump's image on the inside cover.
