Good evening. Here's the latest at the end of Monday.
Trump said he intended to use 'military assets' for deportationsPresident-elect Donald Trump confirmed today that he intended to declare a national emergency and use the U.S. military to assist in his plans to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. He responded "TRUE!!!" to a post by a conservative activist summarizing the strategy. Similar plans were described during the campaign by Stephen Miller, Trump's top immigration policy adviser. Miller said that the military would be used to build "vast holding facilities" for migrants as their cases progressed, and suggested that Trump might invoke a public health emergency power to curtail hearing asylum claims. Trump's team also shared plans to stop issuing passports to the newborn children of undocumented immigrants in a bid to end birthright citizenship. Trump's team said it had developed a plan to significantly increase the number of deportations without new legislation from Congress. They anticipate legal challenges, but presidents have broad power to declare national emergencies. Trump has already signaled his intent to follow through on mass deportations by naming a team of immigration hard-liners, including Miller and Thomas Homan, in top White House policy roles. We're covering Trump's appointments and transition plans.
Ukraine is poised to strike Russia with U.S. weaponsUkrainian officials suggested that they planned to launch American-provided missiles into Russia soon and without warning. Permission to do so was recently granted by President Biden. The Kremlin said today that Biden's decision was a major step toward a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO. The missiles, known as ATACMS (pronounced "attack 'ems"), are likely to be initially deployed against Russian and North Korean troops in territory Ukraine has captured in the Kursk region of western Russia, U.S. officials said. The strikes could help the Ukrainians safeguard the land so it can be used as leverage in peace talks. In related news, Biden used what is likely to be his last summit with global leaders to push for even stronger support of Ukraine.
Texas will decide on Bible-infused lessons in schoolsEducation officials in Texas are set to vote today on whether to approve a new elementary school curriculum that infuses teachings on the Bible into reading and language lessons. The move would test the limits of religious instruction in public education. School districts would receive a financial incentive to adopt the optional curriculum. The initiative has already ignited protests in Texas, which has emerged as a leader in the highly contested push to expand the role of religion in public schools. It could become a model for other states.
Climate negotiators worry about falling short of a dealOfficials from nearly 200 countries went to the U.N. climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, with the main goal of providing funding to developing countries suffering from climate change. But with just four days to go, many attendees fear that this could be the first summit since 2009 to conclude without a deal. Negotiators said that one impediment was that diplomats from Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, were working to foil any agreement that would renew a pledge to transition away from fossil fuels. Any agreement must be endorsed by all 198 participating nations. More top news
Cher turns back timeCher has been a household name for six decades. She was 19 when she had her first No. 1 single with Sonny Bono. She has won an Oscar, an Emmy and a Grammy, and she still works with her 96-year-old voice coach. So it should be no surprise that she split her memoir, "Cher," into two parts, the first of which is out tomorrow. "Too much life," she said in an interview. In the first volume, she explores her difficult childhood and her fraught marriage. But Cher hasn't actually read the final version, which was written by two ghostwriters in just four months.
This is a big week for the art marketAfter two years of declining sales, auctioneers are hoping that the ultrarich will see the election of Donald Trump, who has promised to cut taxes, as a signal to begin buying expensive art again. That theory will be tested this week in New York, where the November auction season begins. Several highly coveted pieces are on the block, including an exceptional painting by René Magritte that is expected to fetch at least $95 million and a six-foot-high version of Monet's "Nymphéas." An eye-catching banana duct-taped to a wall is expected to sell for more than $1 million.

Life lessons from coaching 6-year-oldsMy colleague Rory Smith has spent decades reporting on soccer. He knows the game as well as anyone, but never aspired to be a coach. So, when he was asked to help lead his son's under-7 soccer team, he was exposed to a new way of experiencing the sport. The three months spent coaching were a revelation, Rory wrote. He learned many things, including that some people take youth sports very seriously. But mostly, he learned about himself and "how much it can mean to be there with your child as they start to do this thing that you love, that you have loved, for so long, and to see it start to bring them the joy that it has brought you." Have a joyful evening. Thanks for reading. I'll be back tomorrow. — Matthew Philip Pacheco was our photo editor today. We welcome your feedback. Write to us at evening@nytimes.com.

To Encourage a Teenager Discovering His Style
"My teenage nephew just turned 13 and lives in a remote town in Australia. He's newly interested in clothes and he's got a pretty clear idea of the style he's into: Ralph Lauren polos, athleisure wear. It feels like a good time to encourage his style. But I'm having a hard time finding anything for this age group that's not plain basics, or eBay (where sizing is a gamble but the vintage styles are great). Can you suggest cool brands for my favorite teen?" — Stella, Sydney, Australia; budget: $20 to $100 Teenagers are tricky to shop for; sizing is a moving goal post, and it can be tough to find affordable pieces with character that don't sacrifice quality. For a young fan of Ralph Lauren, consider a cotton jersey with nostalgic embroidery from the Americana-inspired label Found. Closer to home, the Australian streetwear brand Barney Cools offers relatively inexpensive men's staples like this pair of shorts featuring cargo pockets that extend past the hem of each leg; a drawstring waist should provide a bit of longevity for a growing boy. Accessories could also be a fun way to encourage your nephew's sense of style and eliminate sizing stress. The American men's wear brand Noah's tricolor paisley-printed bandanna would add a pop of color to any outfit (and could offer protection from the sun). For a classic maritime touch, Sperry's hybrid boat shoe-sneakers can be worn anywhere without forfeiting a traditional dockside look. — Jameson Montgomery To Brighten the Home of an Already Colorful Relative
"I need a gift for my niece who's over 60 but identifies as much younger. She's very definite in her tastes and interested in home décor. She likes quirky knickknacks that have sentimental value, especially images of insects, bees and spiders. Her houseplants are small and when they show signs of aging, she throws them out and starts over. She's also interested in colorful cushions, outdoor exercise and cooking Key lime pie. She's hard to shop for because she has a small house and the shelves and walls are almost filled up." — Karen, Bay Area, Calif.; budget: $30 to $50 First, your niece sounds like a woman after my own heart — I, too, love Key lime pie and colorful cushions. For the latter, I often turn to Etsy, which is where I found these kilim pillow covers in various colors from Bahe Kilim, an Istanbul-based company that sources vintage covers in many sizes. These enamel splatter trays by Crow Canyon are the perfect size for a classic Key lime pie and will help keep the pie chilly when it's out of the fridge. To accompany the tray, or as a stand-alone gift, you could also go for this Sabre Paris cake server in the classic bistro style or the more playful one with stripes. For the outdoors, I love the lightness and versatility of the Arc'teryx Mantis 1 waist pack but if your niece is into longer distance hikes, I would suggest the Gregory Nano 16, which she might like in the bright teal or yellow. — Carla Valdivia Nakatani To Bring Comfort and Joy Amid Sickness
"I'm challenged to find a gift for my 84-year-old mother. She's survived for the past four years with inoperable pancreatic cancer. Before her health failed her, she was an avid traveler and enjoyed supporting the educational pursuits of her grandchildren, including sponsoring family adventures to Europe. Now she's confined to her home, the chemo-chair and her bed. Her taste buds have been affected by her treatment, so simple things like edibles are tricky, and gifts that are "permanent" (objects) are just stacked in a house already bursting with her collections. What to buy for the dying that brings joy?" — Katherine, New York, N.Y.; budget: under $100 Your mother is lucky to have a daughter who wants to make her remaining time joyful. Hearing poetry read aloud is one of the few things that makes my grandmother feel connected to the world in her final months. She's Irish and loves Yeats, and he's hard to beat for poignancy and lyricism; I also like jisei, the pithy, sometimes funny parting verses written by Japanese poets and Buddhist monks. Plants can be another source of daily pleasure, and a way to feel in tune with the larger scheme of things. With enough light, potted citrus trees grow well inside, yielding fragrant white blossoms and delicate fruits without much human intervention. For something more practical, a plush robe or a bright wool throw might help your mother feel warm and elegant. Less elegant but more fun: There are companies that allow you to print a favorite drawing, for example one by a grandchild, on a very soft fleece blanket. You might also help her feel surrounded by loved ones by buying a beautiful set of notecards and distributing them among friends and family members — the company Papier allows you to order ones with pre-addressed envelopes — suggesting that they send your mother an update, a memory or just something to make her laugh. — Alice Newell-Hanson To Perk Up Colleagues' Coffee Breaks
"I'm looking for a gift for all the colleagues in my office. We're a group of six people — five men, one woman — in the finance industry, ranging from 20s to 60s. We all work from home. Everyone has worked for us for 10 to 20 years. We've been giving presents twice a year and are running out of ideas. We've given tech, clothing and sports equipment. We like the presents to be useful and something they wouldn't buy themselves." — Stephanie, Short Hills, N.J.; budget: $100 to $200 Given you all work from home, without the industrial-size coffee machine that typically comes with an office, I suggest getting your co-workers a neat, new kettle to liven up their morning caffeination routines. Fellow's smoky green or matte black electric kettles are especially sleek, and Great Jones carries a version of the pour-over pot in a striking electric blue. For a pop of color at a lower price point, the MoMA Design Store has an electric kettle from Bodum that comes in a sunny lemon yellow. Throw in a container of Dado Tea's balhyo black matcha, which is sourced from small growers in South Korea, so your colleagues have something fresh to prepare using their new pot, and a kitchen timer from Alessi — the designer Michael Graves's Pop Art-inspired windup model from 1992 is still sold today — to ensure the brew is just right. — Coco Romack To Surprise the Friends Who Like Finer Things
"I want one gift that I can get my three friends in Brooklyn for the holidays. They're women, ages 30 to 33. They're challenging to shop for because we're at the point in our lives where we can afford any midpriced item that we want. If it's easy to buy online (i.e., at a major retailer) and practical, it wouldn't be the right gift because odds are they've seen it and if they didn't get it themselves, they don't want it. So, it needs to be a totally crazy, impractical, luxury gift or difficult to obtain. They love clothes, art, home goods, their dogs, friendship, experiences." — Mo, Los Angeles; budget: $75 to $100 As a lover of impractical gifts, I'd be delighted to receive a pea pod-shaped drawer pull from the Los Angeles home company Block Shop. It's sold at Petra, the shop created by the Sight Unseen co-founder (and T contributing editor) Monica Khemsurov, which specializes in eye-catching home hardware, so even if your friends aren't the farm-to-table types, they might appreciate a wiggly sky blue D handle or a chrome spiral knob. I also love the idea of giving each of your friends a bottle of wine you've enjoyed together sometime in the past year, but since an increasing number of women are sober curious or participating in Dry January, you could go for an inventive (and no less luxurious) nonalcoholic alternative. The Norwegian brand Villbrygg makes one that sparkles like a pét-nat and has notes of marzipan without being too sweet. Pair it with a Champagne glass that telegraphs celebration no matter what's in it. Ichendorf Milano makes one with a curving stem of snowbells, while the Copenhagen-based Akua Objects' blue-accented Noam glass is handmade in the Czech Republic and doubles as a dessert dish. — Ella Riley-Adams FROM T'S INSTAGRAM The New York Steakhouse That's Served Everyone From Theodore Roosevelt to Liza Minnelli
On West 36th Street, a few blocks from the clamor of Penn Station and Madison Square Garden, a brown awning with white lettering beckons diners into Keens Steakhouse, a fixture in midtown since 1885. New York was well ensconced in the Gilded Age when Albert Keen, a producer who ran the Lambs Club, a hangout for theater folk, set up his namesake restaurant (originally called Keen's English Chop House) in the middle of Manhattan. It too was frequented by thespians, writers and composers, many of whom worked nearby. Theodore Roosevelt was another patron — the white clay churchwarden pipe he smoked at Keens is on display in the restaurant's front hall near the maître d's stand, along with pipes smoked by other regulars, including "Buffalo Bill" Cody and Babe Ruth. (The collection runs to about 90,000, many of them hanging from the ceiling of the main dining room.) Too delicate to travel, the pipes reserved for members of Keens's Pipe Club were stored at the restaurant so that when a customer returned, his or her — Dr. Ruth Westheimer and Liza Minnelli were honorary members — pipe was delivered to the table. "I remember when I first came to Keens," says Bonnie Jenkins, the restaurant's general manager. "It was like opening a secret door to New York's past."
