Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. A five-year-old boy was taken by ICE agents in

Minnesota and is now in federal custody in Texas. NPR's Sarah Ventry reports he's the fourth

child detained from the same school district of the last few weeks. The child, Liam Conejo-Ramos,

was taken from a running car in the family's driveway when federal

immigration agents came to arrest his father. That's according to Zena Stenwick, the Columbia

Heights Public School superintendent, the district with a boy as a student. She claims the child was

used as bait to bring his family members out of their home. In a post on X, DHS says the child was abandoned by his parents, and that's why he was taken.

They've confirmed that both the child and his father are being held at the Dilley Detention Center outside of San Antonio in Texas.

DHS continues to say that it's taking dangerous criminals off the streets of Minneapolis

and that its officers

have made over 3,000 arrests in the last six weeks. Sarah Ventry, NPR News, Minneapolis.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith defended his investigations of President Trump as he fielded

questions from congressional Republicans today. NPR's Carrie Johnson reports.

Jack Smith presided over two criminal indictments of Trump for attempting to overturn the 2020

election and for hiding secret documents at his Florida resort. Neither case got to a jury before

Trump returned to the White House last year. Smith says he had proof beyond a reasonable doubt in

both cases and that he was not

motivated by politics. He says if he had any regrets, it was not expressing enough support for the

prosecutors and FBI agents who worked on the cases. Many of those public servants have been

fired by the Trump administration. Some have faced threats, he says, for doing their jobs.
