The Guthrie family, desperate for information, issued a video message on Thursday, February 5, 2026, pleading with the potential kidnappers of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie to make contact. The family, including Camron Guthrie, brother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, urged the abductors to reach out and provide proof of Nancy Guthrie's well-being, as her whereabouts remained unknown days after her suspected abduction from her Arizona home. The FBI is jointly investigating the case and is offering a $50,000 reward, according to ABC News.
The family's plea comes amid ongoing concerns about safety and security, as highlighted by other news developments. In Boston, Mayor Michelle Wu ordered the public release of surveillance and body camera footage related to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions, accusing federal immigration agents of conducting "unconstitutional" operations in the city, according to Fox News. Wu's move aims to hold federal agents accountable for alleged acts of violence.
Simultaneously, tensions surrounding immigration enforcement continue to escalate. In New Jersey, Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced the launch of a portal to monitor ICE officers, prompting criticism from the White House and conservatives. Sherrill encouraged residents to film federal immigration enforcement operations, stating, "We want documentation, and we are going to make sure we get it," according to Fox News.
These actions follow the Trump administration's promise to remove 700 federal law enforcement officers from Minnesota. However, residents reported little change, with sightings of ICE agents remaining frequent, according to the NY Times. One community organizer in Minneapolis noted that reports of ICE agents on her Signal chats were as common as ever.
These events highlight the complex interplay of law enforcement, public safety, and political tensions across the country. The Guthrie family's urgent appeal underscores the human cost of these issues, while the actions of local and federal officials reflect ongoing debates about the role and accountability of law enforcement agencies.
