Border czar Tom Homan announced Thursday that Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota is concluding, while the FBI increased the reward for information regarding the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie. Additionally, Speaker Mike Johnson expressed concerns over the Department of Justice's tracking of lawmakers' search history related to unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files, and Mexico faces a potential loss of its measles elimination status. Finland's ski jumping coach, Igor Medved, was also ousted from the Olympics due to a team rule violation.
Operation Metro Surge, which involved federal immigration officers, will conclude next week, according to CBS News. Homan stated the decision was made after considering the number of arrests related to "public safety threats" and a decline in the need for quick response teams. "That is a good thing. That is a win for everybody, not just for the safety of law enforcement officers," Homan said.
The FBI is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the safe return of Nancy Guthrie, who was reportedly kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1, according to ABC News. The FBI released photos and videos of a masked individual tampering with a security camera at her home.
Speaker Johnson voiced concerns about the DOJ's surveillance of lawmakers' search history related to the unredacted Epstein files, as reported by ABC News. He questioned whether the surveillance was intentional or a mistake, even though the data was compiled for the attorney general's research binder. "I don't think it's appropriate for anybody to be tracking that," Johnson said.
Mexico is at risk of losing its measles elimination status, with over 9,100 confirmed cases since the beginning of last year, ABC News reported. At least 28 deaths have been reported. The majority of cases have occurred in children between ages 1 and 9.
Finally, Finland's ski jumping coach, Igor Medved, was removed from the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics due to an alcohol-related team rule violation, according to Fox News. The Finnish Olympic Committee cited Medved's behavior as a violation of team conduct policies.
