Judge Paulozinis has ordered that should Abrego Garcia be released from custody in Tennessee while he awaits his criminal trial, he must be transferred to the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Baltimore. Kilmer Abrego Garcia is currently detained in Tennessee while he faces federal human smuggling charges. He has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers and federal officials argued he could be arrested by ICE and immediately deported if he is released ahead of his trial. But Abrego Garcia cannot be deported to his native El Salvador because of a prior court order. If the government wants to deport him to a country that is not El Salvador, they must provide him with at least 72 hours of notice, the Maryland judge said. Ximena Bustillo, NPR News, Washington.

I'm telling you to look at the evidence. Look at the evidence and you will know the truth.

Tulsi Gabbard
Gabbard says the documents she's published show that Obama administration officials lied about Russia hacking the election in favor of Trump. Critics say Gabbard's claims are false and that the intelligence community never said Russia hacked the election. Senator Mark Warner of Virginia called the new release desperate and irresponsible and argued that broad declassification could endanger U.S. sources in Russia. Jenna McLaughlin, NPR News.

That's according to a person briefed on the matter who was not authorized to speak publicly and requested to speak on condition of anonymity. Palestinian American Bishop Shara Bahbah, who is close to the Trump administration and has been taking part in talks with Hamas, said in a statement that mediators have been waiting for days for Hamas's response to a ceasefire proposal.

You're listening to NPR News. A new poll of healthcare workers around the country finds that nearly two in five are thinking of leaving their jobs due to concerns for personal safety. And previous data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that even though healthcare workers make up 1% of the workforce, they face nearly half of all non fatal injuries due to workplace violence. NPR's Ritu Chatterjee reports.

70% of healthcare workers surveyed by the Harris poll said they'd experienced or witnessed threats and aggression from patients, and over half said they felt threatened by their patients or their families. The survey also found that nurses were twice as likely as doctors to be physically assaulted at work. Despite the growing concerns around workplace safety, nearly three quarters of those surveyed said they see no change in security in their workplace. The new poll confirms previous research showing that workplace safety is one of the main reasons for healthcare workers leaving the work workforce. Ritu Chatterjee, NPR News.

The Environmental Protection Agency is trying to reverse a long standing decision that's the basis for much of US climate policy. In 2009, the agency determined that greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels endanger public health and the environment. Power plants, vehicles and the oil and gas industry are regulated based on that finding. But the current EPA says the previous administrations overstepped their legal authority. The public will be able to comment on the proposal. New numbers from Tesla. The EV maker says its profits and sales fell in the latest quarter. Revenue dropped 12% and profits dipped 16.
