1 Ryan Routh Sentenced To Life In Prison For Trump Assassination Attempt
Ryan Routh was sentenced to life in prison yesterday for trying to kill Donald Trump at his Florida golf course in September 2024. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon handed down the sentence, plus seven more years for a gun charge, in federal court in Fort Pierce, Florida. Cannon called Routh's plot "evil" during the hearing. Routh was found guilty last year of trying to assassinate Trump, who was running for president at the time. His attorney argued that Routh never pulled the trigger and asked the judge for a 20-year sentence instead of life. This was Routh's first time back in court since he tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen after his guilty verdict was read last year.
2 Savannah Guthrie And Her Siblings Release Video Pleading For Mother's Safe Return
Police in Arizona say they still don't know where Nancy Guthrie is or who took her. Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, was likely taken from her home near Tucson early Sunday morning. Savannah and her siblings released a video yesterday, pleading with whoever took their mother to return her safely, saying to the kidnappers in a likely reference to reports of a ransom note, “We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her.”
3 Tom Homan Says Administration Withdrawing 700 Immigration Agents From Minnesota
The Trump administration will pull 700 federal immigration agents out of Minnesota, border czar Tom Homan said yesterday. More than 3-thousand agents had flooded Minneapolis in recent weeks as part of "Operation Metro Surge." The move comes after agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens during the operation, sparking protests. Homan said the drawdown is partly because local jails are now working with federal officials. He stressed that immigration enforcement will continue across the country, saying, "If you're in the country illegally, you are not off the table."
