FBI: DNA recovered from glove found near Guthrie home that appears to match glove worn by suspect

The FBI says a glove containing DNA was found about two miles from Nancy Guthrie’s Arizona home and appears to match those worn by a masked person outside her front door the night she vanished. The glove, found in a field near the side of the road, was sent off for DNA testing. The discovery was revealed days after investigators had released surveillance videos of the masked person outside Guthrie’s front door in Tucson. Guthrie is the mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie and was last seen at her home on Jan. 31. Purported ransom notes were sent to news outlets, but two deadlines for paying have passed.

Trump's border czar says 'small' security force will remain in Minnesota after enforcement drawdown

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 1,000 immigration agents have left Minnesota’s Twin Cities area and hundreds more will depart in the days ahead as part of the Trump administration’s drawdown of its immigration enforcement surge. That word comes from White House border czar Tom Homan. He tells CBS' “Face the Nation” that a “small” security force will stay for a short period to protect remaining immigration agents and will respond “when our agents are out and they get surrounded by agitators and things got out of control.” He didn't define “small.” The Trump administration announced last week it was drawing down its immigration enforcement surge in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Suspect in mass shooting at Bondi Beach Jewish festival appears in court

SYDNEY (AP) — A man accused of killing 15 people in a mass shooting at a Jewish festival on Sydney’s Bondi Beach has appeared in court for the first time since his release from the hospital. Naveed Akram did not enter pleas to the charges against him, including murder and committing a terrorist act. Monday's court appearance focused on extending a gag order that suppresses the identities of victims and survivors of the attack who have not chosen to identify themselves publicly. Defense lawyer Ben Archbold told reporters that it was too early to indicate any intention of pleas. Akram was wounded and his father Sajid Akram was killed in a gunbattle with police after the shooting in December.

No clear path to ending the partial government shutdown as lawmakers dig in over DHS oversight

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Lawmakers and the White House are offering no signs of compromise in their battle over oversight of federal immigration officers. That impasse has led to a pause in funding for the Department of Homeland Security. A partial government shutdown began Saturday after congressional Democrats and President Donald Trump’s team failed to reach a deal on legislation to fund the department through September. Democrats are demanding changes to how immigration operations are conducted after the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by federal officers in Minneapolis last month. Congress is on recess until Feb. 23, and both sides appear dug into their positions.

US military boards another oil tanker in Indian Ocean after tracking it from the Caribbean

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military says it's boarded another sanctioned oil tanker in the Indian Ocean. The Pentagon said in a statement Sunday that U.S. forces boarded the Veronica III after tracking it from the Caribbean Sea. Venezuela had faced U.S. sanctions on its oil for several years and relied on a shadow fleet of tankers. President Donald Trump ordered a quarantine of sanctioned tankers in December to pressure then-President Nicolás Maduro before Maduro was captured in a U.S. military operation. The Defense Department says U.S. forces boarded the Veronica III overnight. The Pentagon’s social media post doesn't say whether the ship was formally seized.

On Friday, Wall Street steadied after investors reassessed their AI fears. The S&P 500 rose less than 0.1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.1%, while the Nasdaq composite fell 0.2%. Stocks also got some help from a report showing inflation cooled last month.

Rubio meets Orbán in Budapest as US and Hungary are to sign a civilian nuclear pact

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is meeting Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Budapest as the two countries move to sign a civilian nuclear cooperation deal. Rubio's stop in Hungary comes after visiting Slovakia on Sunday following the Munich Security Conference before that. The trip puts him in friendly territory with leaders who back Donald Trump and resist stronger support for Ukraine. Orbán maintains close ties with Russia and continues buying Russian energy, and has received an exemption from U.S. sanctions on Russian oil from Trump's administration. Trump has endorsed Orbán ahead of elections in two months, and U.S. conservatives admire Orbán’s hard line on immigration and LGBTQ+ rights, including a ban on Budapest Pride.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump says that members of his newly created Board of Peace have pledged $5 billion toward rebuilding Gaza and will commit thousands of personnel to international stabilization and police forces for the territory.
