Authorities detained and questioned an individual in Arizona in connection with the suspected abduction of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Savannah Guthrie, who was last seen on January 31st, according to ABC News. The FBI is investigating the disappearance, which has prompted an extensive search in Guthrie's neighborhood, and multiple unverified ransom notes have surfaced.
The arrest in Arizona follows the news of an 18-year-old U.S. citizen in Oregon who was arrested for allegedly planning to attack ICE officials with Molotov cocktails and a gun, as detailed in a Fox News report. The suspect's alleged plot was outlined in a manifesto. Following the arrest, Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell challenged the Acting ICE Director to resign or be seen as supporting violence, while the Department of Homeland Security condemned the rhetoric against ICE, according to the same source.
In other news, a new villain has emerged in right-wing discourse: the Affluent White Female Urban Liberal, or AWFUL, according to Vox. Talking heads on Fox News and right-wing YouTubers describe AWFULs as smug, entitled, and even a cancer on the nation. The argument is that AWFULs are the reason for certain issues.
Meanwhile, contrasting policy shifts are evident in the U.S. and England. According to a multi-source report from Vox, new government guidance in England requires schools to inform parents when children question their gender. In the U.S., the government is ending its immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota.
