A judge ordered the Trump administration to restore a slavery exhibit at the President's House Site in Philadelphia, while federal agents responded to a reported shooting at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island, and authorities continue to search for an 84-year-old woman kidnapped in Tucson, Arizona. These are among the top news stories unfolding across the nation.
In Philadelphia, Senior Judge Cynthia M. Rufe issued a ruling on Monday, ordering the defendants, including Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, the Department of the Interior, and the National Park Service, to reinstall the exhibit about slavery at the President's House Site. The order mandates that the site be restored to its condition on January 21, the day before the signage was removed. The defendants must also maintain the site, including the grounds, and cannot install any "replacement materials" without mutual agreement with the city of Philadelphia while the litigation is ongoing or before another order from the judge, according to CBS News.
Meanwhile, in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, federal agents from the ATF responded to reports of a shooting during a high school boys' hockey game at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena on Monday afternoon, CBS affiliate WPRI reported. The Coventry Public Schools superintendent confirmed that all students were accounted for and safe, according to an email to the Coventry Public Schools community. Details regarding the number of injuries or fatalities were not immediately available, and the investigation is ongoing.
In Tucson, Arizona, the search continues for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, who was reportedly kidnapped from her home in the early hours of Sunday, February 1. The FBI released photos and videos of an armed person in a mask in front of her home, appearing to tamper with a security camera, according to ABC News. The search is ongoing, and the FBI is investigating the disappearance.
In other news, an injured seabird sought help by pecking at the door of an emergency room at a hospital in Bremen, Germany, prompting its own rescue. Medical staff and firefighters removed a triple fishing hook from the cormorant's beak and treated the wound before releasing it back into the wild, according to The Associated Press.
Additionally, Tom Homan, the border czar appointed by President Donald Trump, suggested that the administration may still deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in other sanctuary cities, depending on their cooperation with federal immigration efforts. "I think it depends on the situation," Homan said in an interview with CBS on Sunday. "I've said from day one that, you know, we need to flood the zone and sa," according to Fox News.
