Pima County Sheriff Faces Scrutiny Over Handling of Savannah Guthrie’s Mother’s Disappearance

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says he’s navigating unfamiliar territory as national attention intensifies around the disappearance of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother. Eighty-four-year-old Nancy Guthrie was reported missing from her Tucson-area home on Jan. 31. Since then, Nanos has held multiple press briefings, attempting to balance public transparency with protecting investigative details — an approach he admits hasn’t always landed smoothly. “I’m not used to everyone hanging onto my every word,” Nanos told reporters, acknowledging the heightened scrutiny. The sheriff has faced criticism over several decisions, including allowing Guthrie’s home to be returned to the family after investigators processed the scene. Before authorities resecured the property, journalists photographed what officials later confirmed were droplets of Guthrie’s blood near the front door. He also drew backlash for attending a University of Arizona basketball game while the search was ongoing. Nanos defended the decision, saying investigators cannot work nonstop and he needed time to decompress. The case entered its second week with investigators releasing surveillance video showing a masked person wearing a gun holster and backpack approaching Guthrie’s home. The footage does not show what happened to her or whether she is still alive. Authorities briefly detained a man following a traffic stop south of Tucson, but he was later released. Nanos, a longtime law enforcement official who has led the sheriff’s office since 2015, says his team remains fully committed to solving the case as public pressure continues to mount.

Senators Push Aircraft Tracking Tech After Deadly D.C. Collision

Key senators and the families of the 67 people killed in a mid-air collision near Washington, D.C., say the tragedy may have been preventable. Aviation experts have long recommended advanced aircraft locator systems that allow pilots to track nearby air traffic in real time, improving situational awareness and reducing the risk of crashes. The Senate Commerce Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing today to examine whether the technology should be required on aircraft operating around the nation’s busiest airports.

Immigration Officials Grilled On Capitol Hill After Minnesota Shootings

Top Trump administration immigration officials faced intense questioning on Capitol Hill Tuesday during a congressional oversight hearing sparked by the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota and the recent shooting deaths of two Americans by federal officers. Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons, along with leaders from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, defended agency practices while taking sharp questions from lawmakers. Democrats criticized the controversial enforcement tactics, including ICE officers wearing masks during arrests, and called for greater accountability and reforms. The hearing marked the first session since the deadly confrontations in Minneapolis — where federal agents shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti during Operation Metro Surge — igniting public outrage and nationwide debate over immigration enforcement inside American cities. Republicans largely supported the administration’s approach, emphasizing border security and the need for strong enforcement. Lawmakers also discussed concerns about a potential Department of Homeland Security funding shutdown as talks continue in Congress. The session highlighted deep partisan divides over the federal role in interior immigration operations and the broader direction of U.S. immigration policy.

Bondi To Face Lawmakers Over Epstein Files

Attorney General Pam Bondi is set to appear before Congress amid growing scrutiny over the Justice Department’s handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Lawmakers are expected to question how sensitive victim information was exposed despite efforts to redact it. The hearing marks Bondi’s first appearance before Congress since a contentious session in October, when she repeatedly deflected Democratic criticism and responded with her own political attacks. Bondi faces a wave of criticism as additional Epstein-related documents were released, with victims calling the disclosures sloppy and incomplete. Congressional leaders say they will press the attorney general on what measures were taken to protect victim privacy and ensure proper oversight of the Justice Department’s handling of the case.

Instagram Chief To Testify In Youth Addiction Trial

Instagram head Adam Mosseri is set to testify in court Wednesday over claims that the social media platform’s design is contributing to a mental health crisis among young people. The case involves a 20-year-old California woman who says she became addicted to Instagram as a teen because of features like the app’s “endless scroll,” which she says made it difficult to disengage. Mosseri’s testimony could have far-reaching implications for hundreds of similar lawsuits filed against social media companies across the U.S. Meta, Instagram’s parent company, said it “strongly disagrees” with the allegations and believes the evidence will show its commitment to supporting young users. The trial will examine internal company documents, with plaintiffs arguing that Meta was aware of potential harms to children. Experts have warned that social media design features can affect teens’ ability to disconnect, and countries including Australia, Spain, and France are considering regulations to limit access for children.

Walz: Immigration crackdown may end soon

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says the federal immigration crackdown in his state could be winding down within days, not weeks or months, following recent talks with senior Trump administration officials, including border czar Tom Homan and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Walz, a Democrat, spoke at a press conference where he repeated his stance that the surge of federal immigration agents — which has drawn criticism from local leaders and civil rights advocates — may soon conclude. He said he expects updates “in the next day or so” on the operation’s future and described the situation as a “trust but verify” phase. The crackdown — part of a larger federal operation that brought thousands of immigration officers into Minnesota — has sparked controversy and drawn scrutiny after deadly encounters between federal agents and local residents. Walz also emphasized the need for cooperation on joint investigations into the fatal shootings involving federal officers, a point of tension between state and federal authorities.

Grand Jury Won’t Indict 6 Democrats In Military Video Case

A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., has declined to indict six Democratic lawmakers in connection with a video message they released urging U.S. military members to refuse “illegal orders,” according to people familiar with the matter. The Justice Department had opened an investigation into the video, which featured Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin and four other Democratic members of Congress reminding service members to follow established military protocols and reject orders they believe to be unlawful. Grand jurors refused to sign off on charges against the lawmakers — all of whom previously served in the military or intelligence agencies — marking a rare rebuke of prosecutors in politically charged cases. The decision comes amid broader controversy over the government’s handling of the matter, which drew condemnation from some Democrats as an attempt to punish political opponents and sparked debate about free speech and military discipline. No charges have been filed, and it remains unclear if prosecutors will try again.
