Law enforcement activity intensified late Friday night in Tucson, Arizona, near the home of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, who was reportedly kidnapped on February 1st. The Pima County Sheriff's Department confirmed the activity was related to the Guthrie case, and the FBI is involved in the joint investigation.
According to CBS News, the activity occurred at a location about two miles from Guthrie's home. Sheriff Chris Nanos told CBS affiliate KOLD that investigators were "actively working a lead," but could not provide further details. The Pima County Sheriff's Department later issued a brief statement, stating that law enforcement activity was underway at a residence near E Orange Grove Rd and N First Ave. Due to the joint investigation with the FBI, no additional information was available.
The search for Guthrie has been ongoing for nearly two weeks. ABC News reported that the FBI released photos and videos of an armed person in a mask tampering with a security camera in front of her home. FBI Director Kash Patel released a surveillance photo on February 10, 2026, showing a potential subject in the investigation.
In other news, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officially shut down on Saturday after Congress failed to pass a bill to fund its operations. This partial government shutdown, as reported by CBS News, is centered on the DHS due to a stalemate over the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies. Democrats had sought to restrain the government's immigration crackdown, including demands for a "masks off, body cameras on" policy for federal agents, new use-of-force standards, and judicial warrants before entering private property.
The shutdown will impact agencies under DHS's umbrella, including the Transportation Security Administration, the Coast Guard, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The impasse has arisen from disagreements over immigration enforcement, particularly after federal agents fatally shot Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota.
Adding to the scrutiny of immigration enforcement, ICE announced that two of its officers may have lied under oath about the shooting of a migrant in Minnesota. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons stated that a joint review of video evidence revealed "untruthful statements" in sworn testimony provided by the officers. Both officers have been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation, according to ABC News.
