Two separate investigations involving law enforcement agencies are underway, one concerning the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie in Arizona and the other involving potential misconduct by ICE officers in Minnesota. Additionally, Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna brought attention to redactions in the Jeffrey Epstein files, raising questions about the Justice Department's handling of the case.
The search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, is intensifying after she was reportedly kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1st, 2026, according to ABC News. The FBI released photos and videos of an armed person in a mask tampering with a security camera in front of her home. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos defended sending evidence in the case to a Florida lab for DNA testing rather than the FBI's lab in Quantico, Virginia, as reported by CBS News. Nanos stated that the results from DNA testing have not yet led to a suspect.
In Minnesota, the acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced that two ICE officers may have made "untruthful statements" about a shooting involving a migrant, as reported by ABC News. The officers have been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons stated that a joint review by ICE and the Department of Justice revealed inconsistencies in the officers' sworn testimony.
Meanwhile, Rep. Ro Khanna addressed the House floor, reading out the names of six men initially redacted from the Jeffrey Epstein files, as reported by CBS News. The Justice Department later clarified that several of the men had no apparent connection to Epstein. Khanna expressed concern over the redactions, accusing the Justice Department of shielding the names of "wealthy, powerful" people "for no apparent reason." The files, which have been partially unredacted, do not directly implicate the six men in any crimes.
In other news, a 10-year-old boy recounted fleeing an ICE operation near his school bus stop in Lindenwold, New Jersey, according to CBS News. The boy, a U.S. citizen named Dylan, said he and his classmates were frightened when ICE agents began an operation near their school. "We all were scared," Dylan said.
