Los Angeles County election officials say that the Justice Department's list of 20,000 "likely" noncitizens registered to vote is "unreliable," based on their preliminary analysis. They also say some of the individuals on the list have indicated they were born in the U.S. and may be citizens. State and local officials disclosed these new details in court filings yesterday, in response to a federal lawsuit demanding that California investigate thousands of voters before their ballots are counted. The DOJ wants the state to segregate ballots associated with these individuals. California officials say the DOJ's request is unfeasible so close to the election and may violate federal and state election laws.

The U.S. was the only major economy that saw an increase last year in planet-warming pollution. The report also found that, among G20 countries, the U.S. is tied with Russia for the highest per capita emissions. While China emits more total greenhouse gases annually than the U.S., China's population is more than four times that of the U.S. The rise in U.S. emissions was fueled by increased electricity demand and Trump administration policies that support burning fossil fuels. Arrests for low-level crimes, including vagrancy and drug possession, increased in the U.S. from 2024 to 2025, according to a new analysis of federal data from the criminal justice and immigration reforms advocacy group FWD.us.

The report also highlighted a 188% increase in immigration violations. This comes as violent crime rates, including homicides, dropped to historic lows. The report examined publicly available FBI and immigration arrest data and does not include details about whether charges were dropped or if people served any time in jail or prison. This data covers the first full year of Trump's second term, during which his administration emphasized a tough-on-crime approach. Zoë Towns, the executive director of FWD.us, told NPR ahead of the report's release that the rising trends signal a "really troubling return to some of the extreme law and order policies that defined the American criminal justice system during the '80s and '90s."

Petersburg today to meet with Kremlin officials and explore potential solutions for ending Russia's war on Ukraine. Witkoff also met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy this week in Norway. Trump has accused Zelenskyy of obstructing a peace deal. The Ukrainian president says he is again seeking direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The results of the 2026 midterm elections will shape the final two years of President Trump's second term and serve as a precursor to the 2028 general election.

Both states are among those Trump visited this week as he continues to campaign for Republicans vying to keep control of the Senate and House. Inskeep explored how the Trump administration's policies have affected public research in both states. Trump has eliminated hundreds of jobs from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is headquartered in Atlanta. Universities and research firms in North Carolina's Research Triangle lost millions of dollars in federal grants last year. Inskeep spoke with people affected by these changes. Listen to what they had to say. The NPR App has all of NPR's election coverage in one place — from the biggest stories across the country, to the issues that matter close to home.
