It now faces hurdles in the Senate. 

The controversial spy tool, known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, is set to lapse Thursday. Congress approved a 10-day extension ahead of the original April 20 deadline. 

After House GOP opposition forced days of delay, the lower chamber advanced the measure earlier Wednesday in a procedural vote that was held open for about two hours as leaders worked to convince holdouts to flip their votes. 

The House passed the measure — which is formatted as an amendment to an unrelated bill — in a 235 to 191 vote later in the day. 

Section 702, which was first authorized in 2008, allows the government to collect the communications of noncitizens located outside the U.S. without a warrant, though it can also sweep up the data of Americans who are in contact with the targeted foreigners. The FBI is able to search Americans' data gathered through the program without a warrant. 

National security officials have long argued that the law is vital for disrupting terrorist plots, foreign espionage, international drug trafficking and cyber intrusions. 

House Republicans released their latest proposal late last week aimed at appeasing conservative holdouts that would extend Section 702 for three years. It outlines several guardrails to protect civil liberties, but does not include a warrant requirement for searches of Americans' data that is scooped up in the program — a major point of contention.

To appease conservatives, GOP leaders agreed to attach a bill preventing the Federal Reserve from creating a central bank digital currency to the reauthorization bill before it is sent to the Senate. The House passed the central bank digital currency bill last year. 

But the inclusion of a central bank digital currency ban complicates passage in the Senate. 

Senate Republicans have been teeing up their own three-year extension. But some senators have also demanded a warrant requirement. A procedural vote was initially expected Tuesday afternoon to advance the measure, but has been delayed until later in the week. 

On the other side of the Capitol, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, told reporters another short-term extension may be needed. 

"I don't like doing another punt," he said. "We need a longer-term solution in place, but we obviously have to play the hand we're dealt."

The House's three-year extension would require the FBI to submit monthly reports to oversight officials justifying searches related to Americans' data collected under the surveillance authority. It also seeks to ensure that members of Congress and staff have access to Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court proceedings and expands criminal penalties for abusing the law. 

GOP Rep. Rick Crawford of Arkansas, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, called on the Senate to take up the House-passed bill "immediately." 

"Many of us understand the significant advantage 702 provides to U.S. national security and the fervent need to protect Americans' privacy and civil liberties. We should not sacrifice one for the other, and this legislation, passed by the House, strikes that balance," he said in a statement Wednesday. 

President Trump had pressed Republicans to accept an 18-month reauthorization of the law without any reforms ahead of the April 20 expiration date. But the strategy faced stiff opposition from privacy-minded lawmakers in both parties, as well as from members who cited a number of other reasons they could not support it. 

House GOP leaders repeatedly delayed votes on an extension earlier this month as they lacked enough support from their own members to advance the legislation. A number of Republicans, mostly conservatives, helped sink a proposal that would have extended the law by five years, as well as the 18-month renewal without reforms. That led both the House and Senate to approve a short-term extension via unanimous consent just days before its expiration. 

The high court upheld a lower court ruling that found Louisiana mapmakers relied too heavily on race when they redrew the state's voting boundaries to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. In a 6-3 decision authored by Justice Samuel Alito, the Supreme Court's conservative majority found that compliance with Section 2 could not justify the state's use of race in redrawing its House district lines.

"Because the Voting Rights Act did not require Louisiana to create an additional majority-minority district, no compelling interest justified the state's use of race in creating SB8," Alito wrote, referring to the map. "That map is an unconstitutional gerrymander, and its use would violate the plaintiffs' constitutional rights."

The decision has implications far beyond political representation in Louisiana. The Voting Rights Act's protections have been key for voters seeking to challenge redistricting plans that they argue are racially discriminatory. The ruling will likely make it more difficult for minority voters and voting rights groups to successfully challenge voting maps under Section 2. 

The decision and Kagan's dissent

The high court's conservative majority altered the legal framework courts use when evaluating claims of vote dilution brought under the voting rights law, raising the bar plaintiffs must meet to prove a violation. The "updated" standard, Alito said, "reflects important developments" since it was first adopted by the Supreme Court 40 years ago.

"In short, Section 2 imposes liability only when the evidence supports a strong inference that the State intentionally drew its districts to afford minority voters less opportunity because of their race," he wrote. "Not only does this interpretation follow from the plain text of Section 2, but it is consistent with the limited authority that the Fifteenth Amendment confers." 

Justice Elena Kagan, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, wrote in her dissent that the majority "eviscerates" Section 2. She warned that as a result of the Supreme Court's decision, the law is "all but dead-letter."

"Under the Court's new view of Section 2, a State can, without legal consequence, systematically dilute minority citizens' voting power," she wrote. Kagan read a summary of her dissent from the bench.

Kagan said that under the conservative majority's new test, plaintiffs challenging a redistricting plan must show that legislators acted with a racially discriminatory motive, which she said is "well-nigh impossible." She warned that minority voters in Louisiana and other states will lose the equal opportunity to elect their preferred candidates, leading to a sharp decline in minority representation. 

"I dissent because the Court betrays its duty to faithfully implement the great statute Congress wrote," she said. "I dissent because the Court's decision will set back the foundational right Congress granted of racial equality in electoral opportunity."

The decision comes just months ahead of the November midterm elections. Candidates have already filed to run across Louisiana's six congressional districts, and the time for state Republicans to mount a late attempt to redraw the map appears to have run out. Party primary elections are set for May 16, with early voting beginning Saturday.

Still, the decision could be a boon for Republicans across the country, who have had to craft majority-minority districts in some states in order to comply with the Voting Rights Act. The question before the court was whether race-based redistricting violates the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution.

Louisiana's map, which was also used in the 2024 election cycle, includes four majority-White districts and two majority-Black districts. It had been invalidated by a three-judge district court panel as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.

The White House cheered the Supreme Court's decision, calling it a "complete and total victory" for voters.

"The color of one's skin should not dictate which congressional district you belong in," Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, said in a statement. "We commend the court for putting an end to the unconstitutional abuse of the Voting Rights Act and protecting civil rights."

The NAACP, which represented a group of plaintiffs that defended Louisiana's map with two majority-minority districts, said the ruling should motivate voters to turn out for the midterm elections to protect minority representation.

"Today's decision is a devastating blow to what remains of the Voting Rights Act, and a license for corrupt politicians who want to rig the system by silencing entire communities," NAACP President Derrick Johnson said in a statement. "The Supreme Court betrayed Black voters, they betrayed America, and they betrayed our democracy. This ruling is a major setback for our nation and threatens to erode the hard-won victories we've fought, bled, and died for."

The ruling from the Supreme Court joins recent decisions from 2013 and 2021 in which the conservative justices have chipped away at the Voting Rights Act. Voting rights groups had warned that the ruling in the Louisiana case could impact the upcoming midterm elections by leading some states with later primaries to quickly redraw their congressional districts, ultimately resulting in a decline in minority representation in Congress.

It's unclear whether Republicans in certain states will mount 11th-hour attempts to redraw congressional voting lines. Lawmakers in several places, including Texas, California, North Carolina, Virginia and Missouri, have already undertaken a mid-decade redistricting, though with political motivations. 

Louisiana's map

The protracted legal battle over Louisiana's congressional map began in 2022, when state Republican lawmakers adopted new House district lines in the wake of the 2020 Census. That map consisted of five majority-White districts and one majority-Black district. Nearly one-third of Louisiana's population is Black, according to Census data.

A group of African-American voters filed a lawsuit arguing the map violated Section 2 because it diluted Black voting strength and deprived minority voters of the opportunity to elect their preferred candidate. A federal judge in Baton Rouge ruled for the voters and ordered the state to enact a remedial map with a second majority-minority House district.

The re-drawn plan was adopted by Louisiana's legislature in 2024 and reconfigured the state's 6th Congressional District to ensure the map complied with the Voting Rights Act. Republicans in the state said they also crafted the map with a political goal: to protect powerful GOP incumbents in the House, namely Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Rep. Julia Letlow, a member of the Appropriations Committee.

Rep. Cleo Fields, a Black Democrat, was elected to represent Louisiana's 6th Congressional District in November 2024.

But the new map drew its own challenge from a group of 12 self-described "non-African-American" voters, who argued it was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. A divided panel of three judges invalidated the new district lines and found that the state legislature relied too much on race when it crafted them.

Louisiana Republicans and Black voters appealed the decision to the Supreme Court in its last term and urged the justices to keep the re-drawn map intact. But the high court scheduled the case for re-argument in June and asked the parties to address whether race-based redistricting comports with the Constitution.

When the case was before the Supreme Court last year, Louisiana officials defended the new voting boundaries and urged the high court to leave them in place. But after the court said it would weigh the legality of race-based redistricting, the state reversed course and said its intentional creation of a majority-minority district violated the Constitution.

Reaction to the court's decision

The Supreme Court's decision swiftly drew responses largely divided along party lines, with Democrats decrying the ruling and Republicans cheering it.

President Trump hailed the ruling, calling it a "BIG WIN for Equal Protection under the Law" in a Truth Social post. The president specifically thanked Alito and called him "brilliant."

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, a Republican, said the court's ruling vindicates the state's position. She said she will work with the governor and state legislature to provide guidance regarding a map that complies with the Constitution.

"The Supreme Court has ended Louisiana's long-running nightmare of federal courts coercing the state to draw a racially discriminatory map," she said in a statement. "That was always unconstitutional — and this is a seismic decision reaffirming equal protection under our nation's laws."

GOP Rep. Richard Hudson, who leads the National Republican Congressional Committee, applauded the decision. The group is tasked with defending the Republican majority in the House.

"The Supreme Court made clear that our elections should be decided by voters, not engineered through unconstitutional mandates," he said in a statement. "For too long, activists have manipulated the redistricting process to achieve political outcomes, dividing Americans instead of bringing them together. This ruling restores fairness, strengthens confidence in our elections, and ensures every voter is treated equally under the law."

Ken Martin, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, lambasted the ruling, calling it a "gut punch."

"Today is a dark day for America — the Supreme Court just rolled back the clock on the Civil Rights Movement," he said in a statement. "The GOP-captured Supreme Court just effectively killed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, a major step back in the fight for racial justice and fair representation."

According to the latest information from the National Park Service (NPS), the Highway 41 Fire in west Miami-Dade has grown to a staggering 8,653 acres and is still 0% contained.

It's burning in the northeastern corner of Everglades National Park and is located south of U.S. Route 41 (Tamiami Trail) and east of Shark Valley.

Flames are visible from Tamiami Trail as well as parts of Florida's Turnpike, and the orange glow seen early Wednesday morning is also lighting up the thick plumes of black smoke that have been filling the sky.

The NPS has closed parts of Everglades National Park, and that includes several businesses in the area like Coopertown Airboats, Safari Park and Gator Park.

According to the latest information from officials, at least eight structures are now being threatened by the Highway 41 Fire.

Tamiami Trail remains open at this time, but officials are urging drivers to use caution in the area, reduce speeds and use low-beam headlights in smoky conditions.

It's also advised to allow for extra travel time and be alert of emergency crews in the area who are continuing to try and extinguish the fire.

Officials also warned that road closures may be implemented if conditions in the area worsen.

Businesses owners nearby share how they are impacted by the ongoing blaze

For the past two days, Tomas Rodriguez, a tour guide at Coopertown Airboats, has been sitting idle. The business is closed because a large brush fire in the Everglades is burning along their trail.

"You can't go out there, you're shut down for a couple of days," Rodriguez said. "You have to wait for the smoke to clear, and after that, we'll be able to go out".

The fire was further back from Tamiami Trail on Wednesday, but it had reached some of the businesses on Tuesday.

"It's something that is always going to happen during this time of the year. It's part of the process here in the Everglades," Rodriguez said. "It kills dead vegetation, then it just brings back the new Florida".

Meanwhile, tourists like Banu Teja and his friends, who were hoping to take an airboat ride, are now making other plans.

"We feel sad, but that's how it goes," said Banu Tena, a tourist. "Everything does not go as planned".

As firefighters battle the blaze, tour guides like Rodriguez are also keeping a close eye on the Highway 41 fire, another issue they are now dealing with.

"Besides us being shut down, this season has been one of the driest in over 15 to 20 years, I believe," Rodriguez said. "There's just places out there that you can't go, and now with the fire coming out of those places that are dried up, it just picks up the fire a little bit more".

The owner of Coopertown Airboats says they are monitoring the fire and are in contact with park rangers. He is hoping they will be back open tomorrow. They are giving refunds to those who bought tickets and will not be able to come on a later date.

Smoke from Highway 41 Fire may impact parts of Miami-Dade, Broward counties

While flames from the Highway 41 Fire are still contained within Everglades National Park, impacts from the blaze could affect area of Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

"It's all about the wind, right? The wind has lightened up," CBS News Miami NEXT Weather meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez said.

The wind is expected to change directions, and that will lead to impacts across portions of South Florida.

"Some of that smoke may start to move into parts of Broward and Miami-Dade counties as we head into later (Wednesday) as the winds will be shifting more out of the south and then eventually out of the southwest (Thursday)," Gonzalez continued.

And, unfortunately, there's no rain in the forecast to help out the fire crews working to put out the Highway 41 Fire.

Through Wednesday morning, the wind will keep the wildfire smoke to the south and west. Then smoke is expected to move toward the west and eventually the northwest later on Wednesday.

With the wind shifting to the north and northeast later on Wednesday night, that will then allow smoke from the Highway 41 Fire to start to move into parts of Broward and Miami-Dade counties.

More details of the Highway 41 Fire will be posted on the NPS website.

Facing two bankruptcies since 2024 and rising fuel prices due to the Iran war, Spirit has sought a lifeline from the federal government. 

The Trump administration has offered to come to the airline's aid, weighing a deal in which the government would lend Spirit $500 million in exchange for the right to take control of 90% of the company, CBS News has previously reported.

But the deal — which would make the government the senior bondholder, meaning it would get paid back before others — won't happen unless Spirit's creditors sign off.

Some of Spirit bondholders continue to balk at a government deal, sources said.

Ken Griffin's Citadel submitted a counterproposal, but it was rejected by the government. 

Two other creditors — Ares Management Corp. and Cyrus Capital — are also opposed to the government plan, two U.S. officials told CBS News.

A bankruptcy hearing planned for Thursday was postponed, according to a Wednesday court filing that noted conversations on the government bailout package are continuing. 

Last week, it was revealed in a bankruptcy court hearing that Spirit skipped an interest payment, which could put the airline in default on its debtor-in-possession agreement with creditors. The creditors have not delivered notice that they plan to enforce a default, according to a Thursday court filing. Spirit has $250 million in cash, but creditors have a lien on it. 

President Trump has said he is open to a government takeover of Spirit "for the right price," arguing the move could save thousands of jobs and telling reporters the airline has "some good aircraft" and "some good assets." Spirit leased most of its planes as of the end of 2025, and has moved to shrink its fleet this year as part of a bankruptcy reorganization process.

The Trump administration is considering invoking the Defense Production Act's emergency powers to extend a loan to Spirit, CBS News was first to report last week. 

The airline's excess capacity would then be used for military operations like transporting troops and cargo. The company would then likely be sold to another airline when it emerges from bankruptcy.

Trump administration spokespeople and representatives for Spirit Airlines didn't immediately respond to CBS News' requests for comment Wednesday.

The PGA Tour is back in Doral for the first time in a decade, this time as a 72-player, $20 million signature event. Some in the field are playing Doral as pros for the first time, and the overwhelming majority of players in this week's field didn't play in the most recent tour event on the Blue Monster in 2016.

Scheffler — the world's No. 1 player — is among the first-timers. After a couple of practice rounds at Doral this week, he seems to know what awaits over the next 72 holes. Figuring it all out, well, that's another story.

"There's not really many tricks to this golf course," Scheffler said. "It's just very, very difficult. It's a flat piece of land. There's just a lot of bunkers, a lot of water and the golf holes are long. So, with that combination, it's going to be tough."

Indeed, it is a tough course and a field including 10 of the world's top 15 players. Even more of the world's best likely would have been at Doral if it wasn't such a jam-packed time on the golf calendar, with either five signature events or majors within this current six-week span that started with the Masters and ends with the PGA Championship in mid-May.

Among those not playing this week: back-to-back Masters champion Rory McIlroy.

"If I had it my way I would play every single week out here," Scheffler said. "But just (with) the nature of our sport and the demand on our time and everything, it's not really possible. I have to set up my schedule in certain type of cadence."

When did Doral enter the PGA Tour schedule? 

Doral first became part of the PGA Tour schedule in 1962. It became a World Golf Championship in 2007, and then the PGA Tour struggled to find a title sponsor when President Donald Trump bought the resort. LIV Golf has played events at Trump National Doral in the past, and now the PGA Tour returns.

The last PGA Tour winner on the Blue Monster was Adam Scott in 2016. That tournament was called the WGC-Cadillac Championship; this one is the Cadillac Championship, and no, Scott isn't the defending champion. Technically, this is a new event.

"Good memories for me," said Scott, who beat Bubba Watson by a shot to win at Doral a decade ago. "Obviously winning the last time we were here, but I've always enjoyed playing this golf course. It's a challenge. It's called the Blue Monster for a reason. It's a big golf course, very penal. The wind can blow, and that's the biggest challenge out here. So, you've got to strike it well, just demanding tee to green. It's great that we're back and looking forward to this week."

Justin Rose is also a past winner at Doral, after winning the WGC-Cadillac in 2012. He's one of 18 players in this field who have competed in PGA Tour events at the course in the past — though Rose noted the course has undergone a few changes since then.

He, like Scott, beat Watson by one shot for his win at Doral. Rose made bogey on the 72nd hole that year, then exhaled when Watson missed an 8-foot birdie putt that would have forced a playoff. And the 18th hole now, just like then, is still so brutal that when Rose saw it for the first time this week said he asked his caddie how many balls they still had in the bag.

Into the wind, Scheffler said, he might be hitting 4-iron into the green. Wind at his back, it might be a wedge. And the fairway opens up considerably if it is playing downwind.

"You're in the lap of the gods there in terms of the lie you get, what have you. Just a very narrow tee shot, and then obviously hazards along the way," Rose said. "You're trying to manage the risk really on that hole. To play it properly you have to stand up and make two great swings."

The bill now goes to DeSantis' desk for final approval. The votes happened hours after the Supreme Court narrowed a section of the Voting Rights Act, which could result in Republicans nationwide working to redraw congressional districts with a majority of Black or Latino voters that tend to favor Democrats. At least one of the districts that DeSantis had redrawn was a majority Hispanic district in central Florida. 

Florida is currently represented in the U.S. House by 20 Republicans and seven Democrats, with one Democratic-leaning seat vacant after Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned earlier this month. DeSantis' proposed map aims to eliminate or shrink Democratic-leaning districts in Tampa, Orlando and parts of the state's southeast coast. 

The Senate voted 21-17, with four Republicans and one independent voting with all the Democrats.

The state House voted along party lines, with no Republicans opting to debate it in the roughly 90-minute session. Democratic state Rep. Angie Nixon, who is challenging Republican U.S. Sen. Ashley Moody, tried to interrupt the proceedings with a pink bullhorn to stop the final vote, but it went ahead anyway. 

During the debate of the bill, Democratic Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell asked for a two-hour break to read the Supreme Court decision, but was denied. 

DeSantis posted on social media that the Supreme Court decision "invalidates the below provisions of the FL Constitution requiring the use of race in redistricting: 'districts shall not be drawn with the intent or result of denying or abridging the equal opportunity of racial or language minorities to participate in the political process or to diminish their ability to elect representatives of their choice.'"

In committee hearings on Tuesday, attorney Mohammed Jazil did not answer if the maps complied with that provision. But there were other objections that the proposed map violates a 2010 provision to the Florida Constitution known as the Fair Districts Amendment. That law bans partisan gerrymandering. 

In a letter sent to legislators by DeSantis' general counsel David Axelman, he argues that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision against Louisiana's map helps his case against racial requirements for redistricting in Florida's own constitution, as determined by its "Fair Districts" amendments.

"Much like Louisiana's 'intentional compliance with the court's demands constituted an express acknowledgement that race played a role in the drawing of district lines,' Florida's intentional compliance with the [Fair Districts Amendments] would constitute such an acknowledgement," Axelman wrote.

"Florida cannot do so. We therefore continue to urge you to enact the proposed congressional map," he added.

Any potential legal challenges would face an uphill battle since DeSantis appointed six of the seven justices on Florida's Supreme Court. 

D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro filed a memorandum making the request and included a new photo of Allen with his weapons that officials say he took shortly before the attack Saturday night. 

"At approximately 8:03 p.m., while back inside his hotel room, the defendant used his cellphone to take a photograph of himself in the mirror," the memorandum states, pointing out items including a gun holster, sheathed knife, and ammunition bag in the photo. He wore a black dress shirt, black slacks, and bright red tie.

About half an hour later, authorities say, the suspect sprinted past the magnetometers and fired a shotgun blast before falling down and being restrained by officers.

The memorandum provided more details about Allen's actions in the weeks and days leading up to the dinner, alleging that Allen's attack involved "extensive planning and preparation" dating back to at least April 6, when he searched on his phone for "white house correspondents dinner 2026." Hours later, Allen booked a two-night stay at the Washington Hilton, the memorandum said, and on April 16, Allen again searched for articles on the dinner, including the event's host, schedule and expected attendees.

According to prosecutors, on the day of the dinner, Allen left his hotel room multiple times. Around 6:26 p.m., he allegedly used his phone to check the president's schedule on a site called CivicTracker. At 8:03 p.m., he took the selfie in the mirror, and about 10 minutes later, he visited the CivicTracker webpage again, according to the memorandum. He exited the hotel room around 8:15 p.m.

Minutes before the alleged attack, prosecutors said, Allen looked at a media outlet's video called "WATCH LIVE: President Trump, first lady en route to White House Correspondents' Dinner" on his phone. He then visited a website with live coverage of President Trump exiting his car for the dinner, followed by a web search for "trump white house correspondents dinner." Around 8:30 p.m., prescheduled emails went to Allen's friends and family with "Apology and Explanation" in the subject line.

"Shortly thereafter, the defendant rushed the screening checkpoint on the Terrace Level of the Washington Hilton with a raised shotgun," wrote the prosecution, discarding a black coat under which he had concealed a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun. He sprinted through a magnetometer and ran toward the stairs to the ballroom, shotgun in his hands.

Prosecutors said that six shots were fired — one by Allen, who allegedly fired his shotgun in the direction of the stairs leading down to the ballroom. Then, a Secret Service officer drew his service weapon and fired five times at Allen. Allen fell, injuring his knee, but he had not been shot. He was restrained by law enforcement and arrested.

"At the time of his arrest, the defendant was in possession of a Mossberg 12-gauge pump action shotgun with one spent cartridge in the barrel and eight unfired cartridges in the magazine tube," the filing said.

Allen was charged Monday in federal court with three counts, including attempting to assassinate the president. The other two charges involved the use and transport of firearms.

The memorandum noted that Allen, if convicted, faces a possible maximum life sentence in prison.

"The defendant's actions were premeditated, violent, and calculated to cause death," the memorandum said. "Considering the relevant statutory factors, there is no condition or combination of conditions that will reasonably assure the safety of other people or the community if the defendant were released from custody. The Court should detain the defendant pending trial."

The president told reporters after the call that he thinks Putin might go with his suggestion, and might announce something about it. Russian state news agency TASS reported that Putin told Mr. Trump he was ready to declare a ceasefire for Victory Day, a Russian holiday on May 9 commemorating the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in 1945. 

"I had a long talk with President Putin," the president told reporters in the Oval Office, flanked by astronauts from the Artemis II expedition for an event celebrating their accomplishments. "I suggested a little bit of a ceasefire and I think he might do that. He might announce something having to do with it."

At the same time, Mr. Trump said he doesn't know whether the Russia-Ukraine war or the U.S.'s war with Iran will end first. He mused about the possibility that the Ukraine and Iran wars could have a "similar timetable." Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than four years ago.

"Which war would end first? I don't know, maybe they're on a similar timetable," the president said when asked, calling it an "interesting question." 

Mr. Trump said he thinks Putin would like to see a solution, and "he was ready to make a deal a while ago." The U.S. president has pushed Russia and Ukraine to reach a deal for months, but little apparent progress has been made. 

"I think we're going to come up with a solution relatively quickly," he said on Ukraine, although it's unclear how or when.

TASS said Mr. Trump and Putin spoke for over 90 minutes. 

During his call with Putin, Mr. Trump said the Russian president offered to help with "enrichment" in Iran, seemingly meaning to help remove Iran's enriched uranium. 

But Mr. Trump said he told Putin he'd rather he focus on Ukraine.

"He told me he'd like to be involved with the enrichment, if he can help us get it," Mr. Trump said. "I said, 'I'd much rather have you be involved with ending the war with Ukraine.' To me, that would be more important." 

On Wednesday, federal investigators said that a body discovered in "Coastal Georgia" was identified as 41-year-old Alejandro Jacomino Gonzalez. Authorities have not shared any specifics about the location or the cause of death.

On April 16, Gonzalez picked up multiple vehicles from the Port of Brunswick in Georgia and headed South toward his drop-off location in Miami. The FBI said that is the last time anyone heard from him.

Investigators said Gonzalez pulled over into a rest area in Brevard County, just east of Orlando, around 1:21 a.m. on April 17 and rested for several hours. Later that morning, GPS data showed the truck heading south for one exit before turning north toward Jacksonville. 

"Soon after, Gonzalez became unreachable and the truck was reported missing," the FBI reported.

The truck was found later that day in Port Wentworth, Georgia. 

Officials said that Gonzalez was not in the truck, and several of the vehicles were missing. Three of those vehicles have since been found in Florida, but the location of the others remains unknown.

Authorities are asking anyone with information about Gonzalez's disappearance and death to contact the FBI at 1-800-225-5324, by to reach out to a local FBI office or American embassy, or to submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.

It will be mainly dry with only isolated showers and we need the rain, especially with the Highway 41 Fire continuing to burn along Tamiami Trail west of Krome Avenue.

As of the latest update, this fire has burned 8,653 acres and is 0% contained.

Air quality is good as of Wednesday morning, but that could change later in the day as the winds will be shifting.

The smoke from this fire is moving southwest but will be steered to the west and northwest later this afternoon as the winds will be more out of the south.

Later on Wednesday night, some of the smoke may move into some of the metro areas because the winds will start to shift in from the southwest.

As high pressure dominates our weather pattern, a drier and hotter weather pattern will be in place the rest of the week as highs soar to 90 degrees Thursday with plenty of sunshine.

We'll kick off the month of May on Friday with temperatures above average in the low 90s and the potential for near-record highs.

The breeze will build on Saturday, and the rain chances will rise on Sunday with the potential for scattered showers and thunderstorms.

More rain is expected early next week on Monday into Tuesday with highs closer to normal in the mid-80s.

President Trump and his administration have moved to end the relief, known as Temporary Protected Status, for 1 million immigrants from 13 countries since the start of his second term. The push to revoke TPS is just one aspect of Mr. Trump's immigration agenda, a pillar of which is mass deportations.

The cases before the court, known as Mullin v. Doe and Trump v. Miot, stem from then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem's decisions to end TPS for roughly 6,000 Syrians and 350,000 Haitians. In both cases, Noem determined that after consulting with other agencies and reviewing conditions in the two countries, they no longer met the criteria for TPS.

Syria's designation was set to end last November and Haiti's in February. Immigrants from the two countries had roughly 60 days from Noem's announcement to when their deportation protections would expire. 

But TPS holders from Syria and Haiti filed two lawsuits challenging the administration's terminations as unlawful, and judges in New York and Washington, D.C., agreed to postpone the effective dates. After appeals courts declined to put the lower court decisions on hold, the Trump administration sought emergency relief from the Supreme Court.

The high court said last month that it would consider the government's efforts to roll back the protections for Syrians and Haitians, but it left the programs for the two countries in place while it considers the case. Last year, the Supreme Court twice allowed DHS to revoke protections for hundreds of thousands of migrants from Venezuela, putting them at risk of arrest and removal.

Oral arguments

The justices appeared to wrestle with whether the Trump administration satisfied the requirements of the TPS law when deciding to scrap the protections for Haitians and Syrians, namely whether the secretary of homeland security engaged in adequate consultation with the State Department before deciding that the nations were safe for immigrants to return to. A key question in the cases is whether courts can even review the claim that the secretary violated federal law when she moved to end TPS for Syria and Haiti.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett pressed Ahilan Arulanantham, who argued on behalf of the Syrian plaintiffs, on whether judges could scrutinize the secretary's decision to end TPS even if the State Department said conditions in a country were poor.

If consultation between agencies is a "box-checking exercise," she said, why would Congress allow courts to review the steps taken to reach a determination, when the crucial issue is whether the protections would be extended or ended?

Chief Justice John Roberts raised the plaintiffs' arguments that the secretary was influenced by political considerations in deciding to rescind the protections — namely direction from Mr. Trump to pause the program. He questioned how courts could determine how much political influence is "too much."

Enacted by Congress in 1990, the TPS program gives the homeland security secretary the power to provide temporary, country-specific relief to foreign nationals who cannot safely return to their home countries because of war, natural disaster or other "extraordinary and temporary conditions." 

Relief is limited to 18 months, but the secretary can provide extensions if he determines that a country is not safe for immigrants to return to.

The Trump administration has interpreted the TPS statute broadly to bar judicial review of the ultimate decision to designate, terminate or extend the relief program, as well as the steps and analysis taken by the secretary in the lead-up to a determination.

Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the justices that those determinations are best left to the political branches.

In court filings, Sauer accused the lower courts of substituting "their own views for those of the Executive as to procedures, country conditions, and foreign-policy objectives." He rejected claims that Noem failed to consult with the appropriate agencies, namely the State Department, before concluding that Haiti and Syria were safe for immigrants to return to. 

That consultation requirement, he said in court papers, "does not invite district courts to sit in judgment of when agencies have communicated enough. All the statute requires is that DHS solicit and receive other agencies' views; Congress left the Executive Branch to resolve how that process happens and how much detail other agencies provide."

Sauer argued to the justices that both Haiti and Syria have "emerged from difficult times" and are now led by new governments.

He also rejected the lower court's finding that the Trump administration's decision to end TPS for Haiti rested on racial animus, calling it a "legal and factual nonstarter."

The plaintiffs, though, argued that the homeland security secretary failed to engage in adequate consultation with the State Department, violating the TPS statute's requirement for interagency discussions on the conditions in countries whose nationals are shielded from deportation.

Geoffrey Pipoly, who argued on behalf of the Haitian plaintiffs, told the justices that documents show that the DHS review of conditions in the country was a "sham."

The legal teams noted that the State Department has issued Level 4 travel advisories for both Syria and Haiti, warning Americans against traveling there because of kidnapping, terrorist activity and unrest. The plaintiffs' lawyers said those advisories highlight the inconsistencies with Noem's TPS determinations that the countries are safe.

Lawyers for both the Haitian and Syrian immigrants warned that if the Supreme Court finds that courts have no role to play, it would shield from scrutiny the secretary's actions regarding TPS.

The plaintiffs take a more narrow view of the TPS law and argue that it bars judicial review only of the secretary's determination as to the safety of a country, and whether the protections should therefore be ended or extended. Courts, however, can scrutinize the process taken to reach that conclusion and whether the secretary applied the criteria laid out in the law, they said.

The TPS holders also cited public statements from the secretary and Mr. Trump, which they said demonstrate that Noem moved to end TPS to help the president achieve his goal of rolling back the deportation programs, regardless of whether a country was safe to return to.

Syria was first designated for TPS in 2012 by the Obama administration, which cited "extraordinary and temporary conditions" stemming from former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's crackdown on anti-government protests.

Haiti, meanwhile, was designated for TPS for the first time by the Obama administration in 2010 because of a devastating earthquake, which affected roughly one-third of Haiti's population of 9 million people. The Biden administration extended TPS for Haiti several times because of economic, health and political crises in the wake of the assassination of its president in 2021.

Here are some of the standout moments and photos from their visit:

Charles gifts Trump WWII-era submarine bell

The king presented Mr. Trump with an original bell that once hung aboard the HMS Trump, a British submarine used during World War II. The bell bore an inscription that read "Trump 1944."

In remarks at the dinner, Charles focused on the relationship between the U.K. and U.S. that has grown over the 250 years since America declared independence from Britain. He praised America's "audacious and visionary act of self-determination" when it broke from the British Empire and said he was there "to renew an indispensable alliance."

"Our people have fought and fallen together in defense of the values we cherish," the king said.

Charles also cracked a few historical jokes. In one, he referenced the ballroom Mr. Trump is looking to build on the grounds of the White House after the demolition of the East Wing.

"I cannot help noticing readjustments to the East Wing. I'm sorry to say that we British, of course, made our own small attempt at real estate development in the White House in 1814," the king quipped.

State dinner guests included justices, tech leaders

Tuesday's state dinner was a highly anticipated event on the British monarchs' travel itinerary, with a formal dress code and a  guest list including a roster of tech industry giants, business moguls and government leaders. 

On the list, released by first lady Melania Trump's office, were the Supreme Court's six conservative justices, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, outgoing Apple CEO Tim Cook and Paramount CEO David Ellison, among others. (Paramount Skydance is the parent company of CBS News.)

Administration officials in attendance included Vice President JD Vance, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Three of the president's children, Eric, Ivanka and Tiffany, were also there with their spouses.

At the dinner, Charles referenced previous comments by Mr. Trump aimed at European allies he claims are not paying their fair share on defense.

"You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German," the British monarch said, adding: "Dare I say that, if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French."

Charles addressed Congress

The king became the first British monarch in more than three decades to address Congress, when he delivered a speech Tuesday before a joint meeting at the U.S. Capitol. He and Camilla received a standing ovation from a packed House chamber when they arrived.

"America's words carry weight and meaning, as they have since independence. The actions of this great nation matter even more. President Lincoln understood this so well, with his reflection in the magisterial Gettysburg Address that the world may little note what we say, but will never forget what we do," the king said in his speech, which lasted almost 30 minutes. 

"And so, to the United States of America, on your 250th birthday, let our two countries rededicate ourselves to each other in the selfless service of our peoples and of all the peoples of the world."

Charles' congressional remarks also included some levity. He kicked off the speech with a joke: "And for all of that time, our destinies as Nations have been interlinked. As Oscar Wilde said, 'We really have everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language!'"

A military flyover and cannon salute at welcome ceremony

Charles and Camilla were welcomed to the White House with an arrival ceremony on the South Lawn, which included a military flyover and cannon salute. 

Mr. Trump delivered remarks at the ceremony, sharing that his late mother "loved" the royal family and referencing the "special relationship" between the U.S. and U.K. 

"That understanding of our nation's unique bond and role in history is the essence of our special relationship," the president said. "And we hope it will always remain that way."

Oval Office meeting

After finishing his remarks at the arrival ceremony, Mr. Trump, the first lady and the British royals observed a military procession and then entered the White House for talks that were closed to members of the press.

The president and the king entered the Oval Office just before noon, with the first lady and the queen following behind. Mr. Trump and Charles held a bilateral meeting, which the president later called "really good."

"It was a really good meeting. He's a fantastic person. They're incredible people and it's a real honor," he said.

A spokesperson for the airline said the incident occurred on Monday aboard Delta Flight 1323, which was scheduled to depart from Miami International Airport for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport that afternoon.

According to the spokesperson, crew members repeatedly tried to get a passenger to hang up while the plane was taxiing out.

Instead of ending the call, the spokesperson said that the customer "became disruptive," causing the aircraft to head back to the gate, where they were removed.

The flight took off about an hour after it was scheduled to depart.

"The safety of our customers and crew comes before all else, and Delta has zero tolerance for disruptive behavior," the Delta spokesperson said. "We apologize to our customers for this experience and delay in their travels."

London's mayor said the "appalling attack on two Jewish Londoners" was part of a "series of shocking antisemitic attacks" in the British capital, and he said police would increase patrols in the area. 

The suspect was seen running along a main road in Golders Green, long home to a large Jewish population, "armed with a knife and attempting to stab Jewish members of the public," according to a statement by Shomrim, a community group that runs a volunteer neighborhood watch program.

The group said members "responded immediately and detained the suspect," until police "attended and deployed a taser" to take the man into custody. 

The London Metropolitan Police said counterterrorism officers were leading the investigation and they confirmed a 45-year-old man had been placed under arrest on suspicion of attempted murder. 

A few hours after the stabbing, the head of the Metropolitan Police's counterterrorism unit, Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, confirmed during a news conference that the attack "has now formally been declared a terrorist incident."

"We are also working with our partners in the security services to ensure we have a full intelligence picture and one of the lines of inquiry is whether this attack was deliberately targeting the Jewish community in London," he said. "That community are strong, but they will be incredibly concerned to see and hear what has happened today, particularly in the wake of other incidents in recent weeks." 

Through an intermediary, a shadowy group called Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia claimed responsibility for the attack. The group has claimed it was behind several recent antisemitic attacks in London and Europe, and a representative recently told CBS News it would continue to target "U.S. and Israeli interests worldwide."

"Shocking antisemitic attack"

Both victims of the stabbing, men aged 34 and 76, were in stable condition, the police said. They were initially treated by Hatzola, a Jewish volunteer emergency response organization, according to Shomrim. 

Another local group, the Community Security Trust, said in a social media post that there "has been a knife attack today in Golders Green. The suspect has been arrested," offering thanks to Shomrim, Hatzola and the London police "for their swift response."

Speaking in parliament Wednesday, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described the attack as "deeply concerning."

"There is now a police investigation and I think we all need to do everything we can to support that ... and be absolutely clear in our determination to deal with any of these offenses, the like of which we've seen too much recently," he said.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan, in a social media post, confirmed "an appalling attack on two Jewish Londoners in Golders Green." 

"London's Jewish community have been the target of a series of shocking antisemitic attacks. There must be absolutely no place for antisemitism in society," said Khan, adding that police had "stepped up high visibility patrols in the area."

The attack comes after a string of incidents over the past month targeting Jewish communities in north London, including an arson attack that saw several of Hatzola's ambulances destroyed in the same area.

After another incident, an attack on a synagogue in northwest London on April 18, the U.K.'s chief rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis, said the "sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community is gathering momentum."

On Tuesday, after an attempted arson attack in the same area, the head of policing in northwest London said: "We recognize that this incident will heighten concerns in the Golders Green area, where residents have already faced a series of attacks."

"Since last month's attack in Golders Green, we have stepped up our work to reassure communities," he said. "This includes armed police patrols as well as deployments of officers from Project Servator, who are specially trained to spot anyone who may be planning or preparing to commit criminal acts."

Washington — Dahlia Doe felt as though her world was shaken.

A Syrian national who came to the U.S. more than a decade ago for college, Dahlia, a pseudonym, has received legal protections through Temporary Protected Status, a program that provides relief from deportation to people from certain countries beset by conflict, natural disasters or other extraordinary circumstances.

But in September, the Department of Homeland Security moved to end TPS for more than 6,000 Syrians, giving those authorized to live and work in the United States 60 days to leave the country or risk arrest and deportation.

"I knew that TPS was being targeted. I knew that the Trump administration was going after TPS country after country. But giving us only 60 days was an even further shock and heartbreak for me," Dahlia told CBS News. "It shows how little our lives matter."

Dahlia, who is in her 20s, received TPS in 2021. She works as a research director and lives in the Bronx, New York, caring for her father, who has Parkinson's disease. Her parents are lawful permanent residents and her sister is a U.S. citizen. 

A Syrian citizen and passport holder, Dahlia was born in another Middle Eastern country and has never lived in Syria. But if the Trump administration is allowed to move forward with ending TPS for Syrian nationals — an issue that the Supreme Court will weigh Wednesday — Dahlia fears she is at risk of being removed to a country where she has never lived and where she has no immediate family. She and six other Syrian nationals filed a lawsuit last year seeking to stop the Trump administration from stripping away their deportation protections.

"My life would turn into a constant state of fear and uncertainty. Everything I've built, my entire adulthood, would vanish right in front of my eyes," she said. "It's not just a legal change. It's not just a policy. It's disrupting entire lives overnight for people like me who have been here a decade or more."

The end of TPS for Syria and Haiti

Syria is one of 13 countries for which the Trump administration has moved to roll back temporary protections. The Supreme Court on Wednesday is set to consider the Department of Homeland Security's effort to terminate TPS both for Syria and Haiti, in a pair of cases known as Mullin v. Doe and Trump v. Miot.

The Justice Department and those defending the administration have argued that TPS is supposed to provide temporary relief from deportation. They said the decision to scrap the program for Syrians and Haitians was rooted in protecting national security and public safety.

The Supreme Court last year allowed DHS to revoke protections for hundreds of thousands of migrants from Venezuela, putting them at risk of removal. Other nations targeted by the Trump administration include Afghanistan, South Sudan, Yemen and Nicaragua.

Congress enacted the TPS program in 1990. It gives the homeland security secretary the power to provide temporary, country-specific relief to foreign nationals who cannot safely return to their home countries because of war, natural disaster or other "extraordinary and temporary conditions."

Relief is limited to up to 18 months, but the secretary can provide extensions of TPS designations, and Congress did not limit how many times the protections can be re-upped. Congress also restricted who can receive TPS, deeming ineligible foreign nationals who have been convicted of a felony or more than one misdemeanor; engaged in drug trafficking; belong to a terrorist group; or whose presence in the U.S. would endanger national security or foreign policy.

The Obama administration first designated Syria for TPS in 2012, citing "extraordinary and temporary conditions" stemming from former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's crackdown on anti-government protests.

Haiti, meanwhile, was designated for TPS for the first time by the Obama administration in 2010 because of a devastating earthquake, which affected roughly one-third of Haiti's population of 9 million people. The Biden administration extended TPS for Haiti several times because of economic, health and political crises in the wake of the assassination of its president in 2021.

But soon after Mr. Trump took office, then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem moved to end the programs for more than 6,000 Syrian immigrants and 350,000 Haitians. In both cases, Noem found that after consulting with other agencies and reviewing conditions in the two countries, they no longer met the criteria for TPS.

Syria's designation was set to end last November and Haiti's in February. Immigrants from both countries had roughly 60 days from Noem's announcement to when their deportation protections would expire. But the administration's terminations were challenged by TPS beneficiaries from Syria, led by Dahlia, and Haiti in two separate lawsuits, and judges agreed to postpone the effective dates.

In the case involving Syria, U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla found in part that the termination was motivated by "undue political influence." She cited statements from Mr. Trump about the legality of the TPS program and an executive order directing DHS to rescind policies that he said contributed to illegal immigration. 

Failla said during a November hearing that Noem "endeavored to terminate TPS status whenever presented with an opportunity to do so, resulting in termination decisions that are ground not in law and not in fact, but that are in political considerations simply not relevant under the TPS statute."

In the case brought by Haitians protected by the program, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes found there was sufficient evidence that Noem's decision to terminate TPS for Haiti was motivated in part by "anti-Black and anti-Haitian" animus. Reyes cited derogatory statements about Haiti from Mr. Trump, including his comment calling Haiti a "s**thole country," and his amplification of a conspiracy theory that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating residents' pets.

The Trump administration sought review from the Supreme Court after appeals courts declined to pause the rulings in favor of the Haitian and Syrian immigrants. The high court said in March it would consider the government's efforts to roll back the protections for Syrians and Haitians, but it left TPS for the two countries in place while it considers the case.

The dispute before the Supreme Court

Before weighing whether the secretary of homeland security acted unlawfully, the Supreme Court must first decide whether courts can even review the claim that the secretary violated federal law when she moved to end TPS for Syria and Haiti.

The Trump administration has interpreted the TPS statute broadly to bar judicial review of the ultimate decision to designate, terminate or extend the relief program, as well as the steps and analysis taken by the secretary in the lead-up to a determination.

"Congress forbade federal courts to second-guess TPS determinations, no matter whether courts would cavil with the final outcome, the Secretary's decisional process, the substantive reasoning, or something else," Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in a Supreme Court brief. "Any contrary approach would reduce Congress's robust judicial-review bar to a minor speedbump while installing district courts as the ultimate foreign-policy superintendents of temporary status."

Sauer argued that Congress imposed several procedural checks on the secretary's TPS decisions, such as by limiting designations to 18 months and requiring them to be reviewed at regular intervals.

He accused the lower courts of "substituting their own views for those of the Executive as to procedures, country conditions, and foreign-policy objectives."

Sauer also called the suggestion that the Trump administration's move to end TPS for Haiti rested on racial animus a "legal and factual nonstarter." He rejected claims that Noem failed to consult with the appropriate agencies, namely the State Department, before concluding that Haiti and Syria were safe for immigrants to return to.

That consultation requirement, he said, "does not invite district courts to sit in judgment of when agencies have communicated enough. All the statute requires is that DHS solicit and receive other agencies' views; Congress left the Executive Branch to resolve how that process happens and how much detail other agencies provide."

Documents produced in court cases involving TPS show that when DHS reached out to the State Department about the protections and country conditions, a State Department official stated there are "no foreign policy concerns" with ending the programs for Haiti and Syria. The official also noted that the Trump administration lifted sanctions on Syria last year following the collapse of the Assad regime in late 2024.

The challengers, though, argued that the email exchange was not adequate consultation, violating the TPS statute's requirement for discussion between the DHS and State Department on the conditions in countries whose nationals are shielded from deportation. 

They noted that the State Department has issued Level 4 travel advisories for both Syria and Haiti warning Americans against traveling there because of kidnapping, terrorist activity and unrest. The  plaintiffs' lawyers said those advisories highlight the inconsistencies with Noem's TPS decisions.

"In the statute, it says that these decisions need to be made based on country conditions and after consulting with appropriate agencies, which is here the Department of State," Lupe Aguirre, a lawyer with the International Refugee Assistance Project, which is representing the Syrian nationals, told CBS News. "They simply did not do that here or in Haiti or in the numerous other countries that have systematically terminated TPS status for."

Lawyers for both the Haitian and Syrian immigrants warned that if the Supreme Court finds that courts have no role to play, it would insulate the secretary's actions regarding TPS from scrutiny and lead to an expansion of his power.

"Congress could not possibly have envisioned writing a statute where the government could very unabashedly violate the law, the mandates that they themselves created, and not have to account for it," Aguirre said. "It's extremely important that the judiciary exercise its duty to check the Trump administration's efforts to wield unfettered power and strip away the status of over 1 million people that have been here lawfully and cannot return to unsafe countries."

The plaintiffs take a more narrow view of the TPS law and argue that it bars judicial review only of the secretary's determination as to the safety of a country, and whether the protections should therefore be ended or extended. Courts, however, can scrutinize the process taken to reach that conclusion and whether the secretary applied the criteria laid out in the law, they said.

Pointing to public statements from the secretary and Mr. Trump, lawyers for the challenges said they show that Noem moved to end TPS to help the president achieve his goal of rolling back the deportation programs, regardless of whether a country was safe to return to.

"The Trump administration came into office with the plan to try to de-document — that is, strip away the lawful status of as many immigrants as possible," Aguirre said. "TPS was on the chopping block, and as we have seen with every systematic termination, that has come to bear."

The efforts to end TPS for more than 1 million immigrants are just one aspect of Mr. Trump's second-term immigration agenda, a centerpiece of which is mass deportations. The president has invoked a wartime law known as the Alien Enemies Act to summarily deport Venezuelans his administration alleges are gang members and attempted to suspend access to the asylum system for migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. 

Mr. Trump also signed an executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship for babies born to undocumented immigrants or people in the U.S. temporarily, though the Supreme Court appears poised to invalidate the directive.

Six people were aboard the 145-foot ship, called the Mariana. Divers on April 21 recovered one crew member's body from the overturned ship.

"We are deeply saddened to announce that despite widespread efforts, we have made the difficult decision to suspend our search for the missing crew members of the Mariana," Cmdr. Preston Hieb of the U.S. Coast Guard Oceania District said in a video posted online. "We offer our heartfelt condolences to the families of the Mariana crew, as well as the entire Saipan community."

The search lasted more than 100 hours and covered an area larger than the state of California, he said.

Last week, officials released dramatic video and photos showing members of the U.S. Air Force and Coast Guard searching for the missing crew. The footage and images showed pararescuemen preparing to conduct dive operations. The teams also used a remotely operated underwater drone to search the interior of the ship.

The search was stopped two weeks after the crew notified the Coast Guard that the ship had lost its starboard engines and needed assistance as Super Typhoon Sinlaku battered the Pacific island chain. The Coast Guard lost contact with the vessel the next day.

Heavy wind hindered initial search efforts, but the overturned ship was eventually spotted April 18 about 40 miles northeast of Pagan, one of the islands that make up the Northern Marianas, which is a U.S. territory.

The Coast Guard said debris included a partially submerged inflatable life raft was spotted about 110 miles from the ship.

"The five remaining crew members are still missing," Hieb said.

Super Typhoon Sinlaku battered the Northern Mariana Islands, causing wind damage and flooding. Sinlaku had sustained winds up of to 150 miles per hour when it battered Saipan and Tinian, according to the National Weather Service. CBS News meteorologist Nikki Nolan said it was the strongest storm to develop in 2026.

Hisham Abugharbieh, 26, the roommate of Limon, was arrested over the weekend and charged with two counts of premeditated murder. Limon's body was found on the Howard Frankland Bridge in St. Petersburg. Human remains were found Monday in the search for Bristy, but they have not been officially identified. Bristy's family told CBS News that police said she is also likely dead.

Abugharbieh allegedly used ChatGPT extensively in the days leading up to the crime, according to court documents released Sunday. Among the questions he allegedly asked in the days leading up to the pair's disappearance was how to dispose of a body.

Among those questions, on April 13: What would happen if someone was "put in a black garbage bag and thrown in dumpster." The AI chatbot responded that it sounded dangerous, prompting Abugharbieh to allegedly ask, "How would they find out."

On April 15, the day before the doctoral students went missing, Abugharbieh allegedly asked ChatGPT, "Can a VIN number on a car be changed?" and, "Can you keep a gun at home with out a license," according to court documents. On the same night his phone pinged near the location where Limon's body was found, the suspect asked ChatGPT if cars are "checked at the Hillsborough River state park."

A spokesperson for OpenAI, the developers of ChatGPT, said in a statement to CBS News: "This is a terrible crime, and our thoughts are with everyone affected. We're looking into these reports and will do whatever we can to support law enforcement in their investigation."

Abugharbieh was held without bond following an initial court appearance on Tuesday. He has yet to enter a plea.

Florida opens investigation into ChatGPT

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced last week that his office had launched a criminal investigation into OpenAI after reviewing conversation logs between ChatGPT and a Florida State University student who opened fire on the campus in April 2025. The shooting killed two people and left several others injured. 

"My prosecutors have looked at this and they've told me if it was a person on the other end of that screen, we would be charging them with murder," Uthmeier said during a news conference on April 21, saying the AI tool offered "significant advice" to suspect Phoenix Ikner.

An OpenAI spokesperson said the company identified an account believed to be associated with Ikner and shared it with law enforcement. The company added ChatGPT "did not encourage or promote illegal or harmful activity" and the bot provided responses to questions with information found in public sources on the internet. 

"Last year's mass shooting at Florida State University was a tragedy, but ChatGPT is not responsible for this terrible crime," OpenAI said in its statement.

Dr. Jill Schiefelbein, an AI strategist and professor at the Muma College of Business at the University of South Florida, said if politics are taken out of it, the investigation could lead to solutions on issues such as what is a reasonable time for a technology to report someone who violates their terms and conditions. 

"I wouldn't blame the technology any more than I would blame a vehicle that gets into an accident by a human driver," she told CBS News. "It's how these tools are used, whether it's a firearm, whether it's a vehicle, whether it's a tool that helps you retrieve information, it's the user intent behind it that's the issue."

"Does that mean I believe that there shouldn't be stricter guardrails in place? Absolutely not," she said.

While OpenAI rejected any responsibility for the Florida State University shooting, the company has not been silent on all crimes involving the AI tool.

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, issued an apology last week to a community in British Columbia where eight people were killed by a teen who had previously exhibited concerning behavior on ChatGPT. Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18, allegedly opened fire on Feb. 10 at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, killing a teacher and five students, before dying from a self-inflicted gunshot, police said. Van Rootselaar had earlier killed her mother and 11-year-old half-brother at their home.

"The pain your community has endured is unimaginable," Altman wrote in a letter shared on social media by British Columbia Premier David Eby. "I have been thinking of you often over the past few months."

Altman wrote in the letter, dated April 23, that Van Rootselaar's ChatGPT account had been banned in June 2025. The account was flagged by automated abuse detection tools and human investigators who identify potential misuses of ChatGPT for violent activities, OpenAI told CBS News in February. OpenAI said the account was then banned for violating its usage policies. 

OpenAI said the company had weighed whether to flag the account to law enforcement, but had determined at the time it did not pose an imminent and credible risk of serious physical harm to others, so it failed to meet the threshold for referral.

Altman wrote in his letter that OpenAI will remain focused on preventative efforts "to help ensure something like this never happens again."

"I want to express my deepest condolences to the entire community," he said. "No one should ever have to endure a tragedy like this."

The FCC said in its order that it is investigating ABC stations for "possible violations" of the Communications Act of 1934 and the agency's prohibition on unlawful discrimination. An FCC official told CBS News that the order is related to the agency's investigation into Disney's diversity, equity and inclusion practices, which the official said has been ongoing since March 2025.

In a statement to CBS News, Disney said it has received the FCC's order for an accelerated review of its ABC-owned television stations. 

"ABC and its stations have a long record of operating in full compliance with FCC rules and serving their local communities with trusted news, emergency information, and public‑interest programming," a Disney spokesperson said. "We are confident that the record demonstrates our continued qualifications as licensees under the Communications Act and the First Amendment and are prepared to show that through the appropriate legal channels."

The ABC licenses were originally scheduled for renewal between 2028 and 2031. The company owns eight TV stations, including WABC-TV in New York and KABC-TV in Los Angeles.

Trump calls for Kimmel firing

The FCC order comes after President Trump and Melania Trump urged ABC to fire Kimmel after he made a joke during his April 23 show in which he described the first lady as having "the glow of an expectant widow." In the program, Kimmel pretended to deliver a comedy routine at the upcoming White House Correspondents' Dinner. His program aired two days before the event.

In the aftermath of the dinner, in which an alleged gunman shot a Secret Service agent outside the Washington, D.C., ballroom where the Trumps were present, the first lady said that ABC should "take a stand" against Kimmel.

"Wow, Jimmy Kimmel, who is in no way funny as attested to by his terrible Television Ratings, made a statement on his Show that is really shocking," Mr. Trump wrote in an April 27 post on social media. "I appreciate that so many people are incensed by Kimmel's despicable call to violence, and normally would not be responsive to anything that he said but, this is something far beyond the pale."

He added, "Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC."

Kimmel defended his joke during his Monday night monologue, describing the routine as centering on the Trumps' 23-year age difference. The routine was "a very light roast joke about the fact that he's almost 80 and she's younger than I am. It was not by any stretch of the definition a call to assassination. And they know that," Kimmel said.

Mr. Trump, who turns 80 in June, is the oldest U.S. president to take office. His wife, a former model who was born in Slovenia, is 56.

Kimmel also defended his First Amendment rights, saying, "Donald Trump is allowed to say whatever he wants to say, as are you and as am I, as are all of us, because under the First Amendment, we have as Americans the right to free speech."

Festering feud

The issue marks the second clash between the FCC and Disney within the last year, with ABC preempting "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in September after criticism of comments Kimmel made on his late-night TV show following the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. 

At the time, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr referred to Kimmel's comments as "some of the sickest conduct possible," and said there was a "path forward for suspension over this."

The FCC doesn't have the authority to cancel broadcasters' licenses "because of their perceived political views," Jameel Jaffer, executive director at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, said in an email to CBS News.

The National Association of Broadcasters also spoke out against the FCC's latest demand. 

"The FCC's broadcast license renewal process must be grounded in predictability, fairness and transparency, principles reflected in the license terms Congress established and later extended," NAB president and CEO Curtis LeGeyt said in a statement. "The Media Bureau's nearly unprecedented request for one company to quickly reapply for all of its licenses — rather than utilize its traditional enforcement process — runs contrary to these principles and creates significant uncertainty for all broadcasters."

Donald Trump's is attending Saturday's annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington for his first time as president, putting his administration's often-contentious relationship with the press on full public display. Also in attendance Saturday was Vice President JD Vance. 

Mr. Trump will be watched closely at the event held by the organization of reporters who cover him and his administration. Past presidents who have attended have generally spoken about the importance of free speech and the First Amendment, adding in some light roasts about individual journalists.

The Republican president did not attend during his first term or the first year of his second. He came as a guest in 2011, sitting in the audience as President Barack Obama, a Democrat, made some jokes about the New York real estate developer. Mr. Trump also attended as a private citizen in 2015.

Past dinners have also featured comedians who poke at presidents. This year, the group opted to hire mentalist Oz Pearlman as the featured entertainment.

Mr. Trump's planned appearance is rekindling a longer running debate about the dinner and events like it — in particular, whether it is poor form for journalists to be seen socializing with the people they cover. The New York Times, for example, stopped attending the dinner more than a decade ago for that reason.

"What was once (a fairly long time ago) a well-intended night of fundraising and camaraderie among professional adversaries is now simply a bad look," wrote Kelly McBride, ethics expert at the Poynter Institute, a journalism think tank.

A contentious relationship

Between berating individual reporters, fighting organizations like the Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Associated Press in court and restricting press access to the Pentagon, the administration's animus toward journalists has been a fixture of Mr. Trump's second term.

On the eve of the dinner, nearly 500 retired journalists signed a petition calling on the association "to forcefully demonstrate opposition to President Trump's efforts to trample freedom of the press."

"The White House Correspondents' dinner reinforces the importance of the First Amendment in our democracy," said the WHCA president and CBS News' senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang. "As we mark America's 250th birthday, our choice to gather as journalists, newsmakers and the president in the same room is a reminder of what a free press means to this country and why it must endure. Not for the media or the president, but for the people who depend on it."

Many reporters who attend, however, consider it a valuable opportunity to get story ideas and establish personal connections with those in government, one that may pay dividends with returned telephone calls in the future.

Some news organizations invite sources as guests

Journalists often invite sources as guests at the dinner. It will be noticed Saturday whether administration officials who have also expressed hostility to the press will attend, and with whom they will be sitting.

The AP has invited Taylor Budowich, a former White House deputy chief of staff who left last fall for the private sector. The invitation is notable because Budowich, in his role crafting White House communications policy, was a named defendant last year when the AP sued the administration after it reduced its access to the president because the news outlet did not follow Mr. Trump's lead in renaming the Gulf of Mexico.

"We maintain professional relationships with people across the political spectrum because we are nonpartisan by design — focused on reporting the facts in the public's interest," AP spokesman Patrick Maks said.

The White House correspondents will also hand out awards for exemplary reporting. That includes some stories that displeased Mr. Trump, such as one from the Journal about a birthday message Trump once sent to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The story led to a presidential lawsuit.
