Guthrie’s mother

missing in Arizona

(AP) — An Arizona sheriff says the disappearance of the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie over the weekend is being investigated as a crime based on what authorities saw at her home.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says there are signs at the home indicating Nancy Guthrie did not leave on her own. Nancy Guthrie was last seen around 9:30 p.m. Saturday at her home in the Tucson area. Her family reported her missing midday Sunday. Nanos says Nancy Guthrie has physical ailments, but no cognitive issues.

He says the homicide team is also involved, which isn’t standard for such cases.

Haitian migrants

receive support

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Faith leaders and hundreds of supporters have gathered at a church in Springfield, Ohio, to support Haitian migrants fearing the end of their Temporary Protected Status in the U.S.

The event Monday at St. John Missionary Baptist Church called for an extension of TPS, which is set to expire Tuesday. Last year, the Department of Homeland Security announced plans to end TPS for hundreds of thousands of Haitians, citing improved conditions in the Caribbean island country.

The Springfield Haitian community remains anxious, fearing deportation and anti-immigrant sentiment. Many are staying home, stockpiling supplies and signing caregiver affidavits that might keep their children out of foster care if they themselves get detained or deported.

Rafah border

crossing reopens

CAIRO (AP) — A dozen Palestinian returnees were allowed into Gaza and a few medical evacuees exited to Egypt Monday after the long-awaited reopening of the Rafah border crossing was marred by delays. The reopening of the crossing is a key step in ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, but it is mostly symbolic at this point.

Few Palestinians will be allowed to cross in either direction daily. About 20,000 Palestinian children and adults needing medical care hope to leave devastated Gaza via the crossing, according to Gaza health officials. Thousands of other Palestinians outside the territory hope to enter and return home. The crossing had been closed since Israeli troops seized it in May 2024.
