Fewer ad interruptions. All in one place. Ad-free articles, podcasts and full episodes of NBC News Shows Ad-free live news, streaming on NBC News NOW Subscriber-only video briefings and newsletter LEARN MORE ▼ The Lead Backlash to Trump emboldens Democrats on DHS and ICE Americans are souring on the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, complicating an already messy dynamic on Capitol Hill as Democrats are more emboldened to draw a hard line against another short-term funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security. Days before funding runs out on Friday, key members of the Senate Democratic Caucus say they won't support another continuing resolution to prevent a DHS shutdown. This includes members who voted with Republicans to reopen the government last fall. "What ICE is doing is unconscionable, and it's got to be reined in. I can't, in good conscience, vote for it," said Sen. Angus King, a Maine independent who caucuses with Democrats.  King said the situation is different now because most of the government is already funded. "So if DHS isn't funded, you're talking about ICE and TSA and the Coast Guard and FEMA" being shut down, he said. "It's not the same as it was in the fall, where you were talking about food stamps, support for research and development, medical care, all of those things," he added. A Quinnipiac University poll, conducted from Jan. 29 to Feb. 2, found 38% of registered voters approve of President Donald Trump's handling of immigration issues, compared with 59% who disapprove. In addition, 63% said they disapprove of ICE. How Democrats plan to use their leverage this week.  More politics news: Members of Congress are fleeing the job, with the highest number of retirements this century. The Department of Justice moved to dismiss its long-running criminal case against Steve Bannon. The longtime Trump ally had previously appealed his 2022 conviction to the Supreme Court. Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell refused to answer questions from the House Oversight Committee yesterday, but her attorney said she would speak "fully" if Trump grants her clemency. More than a year after Attorney General Pam Bondi created a "Weaponization Working Group" meant to root out "abuses" by federal law enforcement officers in their investigations of Trump, the DOJ is still scrambling to produce a report. Vice President JD Vance landed in Armenia — a country that no sitting U.S. vice president or president has visited before — as the Trump administration offered economic opportunities while it works to advance a U.S.-brokered deal aimed at ending a decades-long conflict with Azerbaijan. ▼ Top Stories Olympics recap: What you missed and what to watch Skier Lindsey Vonn said she'll need multiple operations on her leg after crashing during competition when her arm hooked inside one of the gates, adding that her earlier ACL tear "had nothing to do" with her fall. Her father, a former skier, said he believes her crash marks "the end of her career." After Trump criticized Olympic snowboarder Hunter Hess for expressing mixed feelings about representing the U.S. during a period of immigration crackdown, snowboarder Chloe Kim expressed support for her teammate when asked about the incident.  "We are allowed to voice our opinions on what's going on, and I think that we need to lead with love and compassion, and I would love to see some more of that," she said. After winning gold in the team event, "Quad God" Ilia Malinin will begin his men's short program today as the man to beat. And the U.S. and Canadian women's ice hockey teams will face off in the group stage in one of the Games' biggest rivalries.  Today's medal events include a gold medal curling game between the U.S. and Sweden, and the women's team combined alpine skiing, which pairs downhill champ Breezy Johnson and two-time winner Mikaela Shiffrin for the new Olympic event. Today's winners might want to take particular care of their medals, however. Some athletes have said theirs fell apart during celebrations.

One superfan recounted what it was like to bundle up. Savannah Guthrie appeals to public for help  Savannah Guthrie made an appeal to the public for help in the search for her mother Nancy, who has been missing for more than a week, in what she described as the family's "hour of desperation." In an Instagram video yesterday, the "TODAY" co-host thanked people for their prayers and said, "We believe our mom is still out there." FBI officials said that they are not aware of any continued communication between the Guthrie family and suspected kidnappers and have not identified a suspect or person of interest.

But at 15, she's the youngest U.S. Olympian. How were you spending the winter you turned 15? Chances are, not competing at the Olympics like Abby Winterberger of Truckee, California. The freestyle skier is the youngest member of Team USA at the Milan Cortina Olympics, and the second youngest American to ever qualify in her event. I wanted to meet her because making it this far not only constitutes a sports story, but also one of dedication and sacrifice — Winterberger doesn't go to high school with her friends because she travels nearly year-round, for instance. Winterberger was so low-key during our interview that I marked how unaffected she seemed. That's just because it has not fully hit her yet she was an Olympian, she said, calling the experience "definitely really cool." — Andrew Greif, reporter ▼ NBC Select: Online Shopping, Simplified Select editors rounded up over 200 Black-owned businesses to shop year round.

February 10, 2026   |   Listen Online   |   Read Online Minnesota Counties Quietly Agree To Turn Over Violent Illegal Aliens Nearly all Minnesota counties agreed to transfer violent illegal aliens from jails to federal custody, signaling a quieter but consequential enforcement move.   Tyler Flores What Happened According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt , nearly all counties in Minnesota have reached agreements to transfer violent illegal aliens from local jails into federal custody rather than releasing them back into the community. Leavitt said that the effort was coordinated by 'border czar' Tom Homan. Under these arrangements, county sheriffs and jail officials notify federal authorities when an inmate who is in the country illegally and has a violent criminal record is being held. Instead of being released after serving local time or posting bond, those inmates are transferred to federal immigration custody for removal proceedings. The cooperation reportedly covers nearly all counties in the state, including jurisdictions that previously resisted immigration-enforcement partnerships. Leavitt said the agreements were reached through direct coordination with local officials rather than through new legislation or mandates. Details about the exact legal mechanisms vary by county, but the core principle is the same: local jails hold qualifying inmates long enough for federal authorities to take custody, preventing their release back into local communities. Why It Matters Immigration enforcement has long been shaped as much by local cooperation as by federal policy. But when counties decline to work with federal authorities, immigration violations go unaddressed once an inmate leaves local custody. That dynamic has been especially controversial in cases involving violent offenses. Current Investors: Act By 2/26 With our first phase of growth completed, EnergyX is offering current investors a limited-time opportunity to reinvest at $11/share by 2/26 as we drive towards the future.* With lithium demand projected to grow 5x by 2040, we're advancing our technology at Project Black Giant™ and moving toward commercialization. With one of the lowest cost lithium production models in the world, our economic edge means a more resilient cost structure and positions us to be a leader in an industry vital to defense system technology, AI power storage, and renewable energy. Reinvest at our website before 2/26. The Minnesota agreements point to a more practical arrangement rather than a major policy rewrite. Counties will continue to run their jails, while federal authorities take responsibility for immigration enforcement once custody is transferred. The idea is to keep individuals with violent records from being released without asking local law enforcement to expand its role. The agreement and all the conflict that preceded it also highlight the long-standing disconnect between immigration law and its day-to-day enforcement. Detainers and transfer requests exist under federal law, but they only work when local jurisdictions choose to cooperate. Where that cooperation breaks down, individuals with unresolved immigration violations can still end up back in the community. By securing county-level cooperation, federal officials reduce reliance on street-level arrests and workplace raids. Instead, enforcement focuses on individuals already in custody for serious crimes, a strategy often described as lower-risk and more targeted. How It Affects Readers Moving forward, any individuals accused or convicted of violent crimes who are also in the country illegally are far less likely to be released back into local communities. The agreements may also reduce pressure on local agencies, since transferring custody to federal authorities allows counties to avoid prolonged detention costs and limits the risk of reoffending by inmates who might otherwise be released. Beyond Minnesota, the development could influence how other states decide to approach similar arrangements with ICE in their communities. If the model proves workable, it may be quietly adopted elsewhere, especially in jurisdictions seeking to balance public safety concerns with political pressures. The focus on violent offenders reflects an enforcement priority that polls consistently show has public support. Concentrating resources on individuals with serious criminal records may shape future debates about immigration enforcement more than headline-grabbing actions at the border. But the agreements do raise questions regarding consistency and transparency. Because they are negotiated at the county level, practices may differ across jurisdictions, and public awareness may lag behind policy changes.
