In today's newsletter: ICE raids begin in some locations as Donald Trump tackles immigration. Pete Hegseth is confirmed as defense secretary after a tie-breaking vote from JD Vance. And two Mississippi police officers are indicted in the shooting of a woman in the head during a car chase.

Here's what to know today.

While on the campaign trail, Donald Trump promised voters that his first day in office would see mass deportations bigger than any in American history. In reality, it hasn’t happened that quickly, though raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have taken place.

One was at a seafood wholesaler on Thursday in Newark, New Jersey, where three undocumented workers were arrested. Employees who are U.S. citizens were also detained and questioned. The raid was met with backlash from city and state officials as well as immigration rights advocates who said federal authorities acted without a warrant.

And on Friday, officers arrested 593 migrants, according to ICE. Arrests this week took place at 19 cities across the country in states such as California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York and Utah. There is heightened fear in immigrant communities that they could be next.

Trump, in his first days back in the White House, has set in motion efforts to carry out the mass deportations he promised. He rescinded executive orders that former President Joe Biden enacted on immigration, including those that built legal pathways for record numbers of migrants arriving at the border in recent years. He also signed orders declaring an emergency on the southern border. In addition, 1,500 Army and Marines personnel are being sent to the southwest border, and deportation flights have already taken off.

Already, there has been some resistance. His order seeking to revoke birthright citizenship was temporarily blocked by a federal judge. And Mexico refused to accept a deportation flight, sources said.

But added together, the Trump administration's actions signal to immigrants in the U.S. and beyond that the president is taking a tough line on the issue.

JD Vance casts tie-breaking vote to confirm Pete Hegseth

Pete Hegseth was confirmed as defense secretary in a 51-50 vote in the Senate, with Vice President JD Vance casting a tie-breaking vote and delivering a victory for President Donald Trump. Three Republicans — Sens. Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins — joined all 47 Democrats in voting no. It marked only the second time in history that a vice president needed to break a tie for a Cabinet-level nominee (the other time was in 2017 for Betsy DeVos’ confirmation as education secretary).

Just last month, Hegseth’s nomination appeared to be on the verge of collapse after allegations of alcohol abuse, sexual assault and financial mismanagement, all of which Hegseth has denied. Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor and Army combat veteran, continued to face scrutiny in the days leading up to the vote. Ultimately, McConnell’s vote was a stunning rebuke of Hegseth — and Trump — but it wasn’t enough to tank Hegseth’s confirmation.

Four female Israeli hostages released by Hamas in prisoner exchange

Four female Israeli soldiers who have been held captive in Gaza for 15 months have been released as part of a prisoner exchange under the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal.

The four hostages arrived at a military reception point in southern Israel on Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces have confirmed.

The four captives are being exchanged for 200 Palestinian prisoners. Of the 200 prisoners set to be released, 121 were serving life sentences, and 79 were serving long sentences.

A large deployment of Hamas militants, as well as crowds of civilians, gathered at Gaza City's Palestine Square as the hostages were being handed over, according to NBC News' team there.

Israel has accused Hamas of not keeping its end of the deal by releasing the female soldiers ahead of a civilian hostage, Arbel Yehud, with the Prime Minister's office saying the IDF will not allow Gazans to return to the north of the strip until her release.

Mississippi police officers accused of shooting mother in head during car chase

Two Mississippi Capitol Police officers have been charged in the shooting of a mother during a car chase in 2022, which left her with a partially paralyzed face, permanent memory loss and damaged sight and hearing, the state Attorney General’s office announced. Officer Michael Rhinewalt and former officer Jeffrey Walker were each indicted by a state grand jury on aggravated assault charges, accused of shooting Sherita Harris “under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life.” Rhinewalt and Walker were also accused of shooting at Harris’ friend, Sinatra Jordan, who was driving. Rhinewalt’s lawyer said he was confident the officer would “be vindicated at trial.” Walker’s lawyer said Walker “maintains his innocence.”

Harris has no recollection of the shooting. The officers’ account of what happened during the August 2022 incident differs from Jordan’s.

For Harris, the two-year wait for charges in the case has brought some relief. “It’s been so long, I thought they forgot and were going to sweep it under the rug,” Harris told enterprise reporter Jon Schuppe, her speech halting and slurred from the gunshot wound. “It brings me a little joy.”

More than a donation drive

The stories of communities and residents coming together to support those who lost their homes and belongings in L.A.’s recent wildfires have been inspiring, and this spotlight on Altadena Teen Boys Fire Recovery, modeled after a similar event for teen girls, is no exception. The six-day donation drive for young men and their families displaced by the Eaton Fire provided everything from shoes, hoodies and sunglasses, to shampoo and shaving supplies. There were custom skateboards, haircuts and hamburgers. More than anything, it was a space for those who experienced loss to find a sense of normalcy. Enterprise reporter Tyler Kingkade spoke to organizers and families about the event’s impact.
