Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. Tulsi Gabbard is resigning as President Trump's Director of National Intelligence. She says she's leaving to support her husband who's battling a rare bone cancer, as NPR's Franco Ordonez reports.

In a letter to President Trump, Gabbard thanked the president for the opportunity to lead the office of the director of national intelligence,

but she said she needed to be there for her husband. She wrote, I cannot in good conscience ask him to

face this fight alone, while I continue in his demanding and time-consuming position. Cabbert is the

latest in a series of cabinet officials to leave the Trump administration. Other departures

include Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome and Attorney General Pam Bondi. Trump commended

Gabbard for doing a, quote, incredible job and said he will miss her. He added that

principal deputy director of National Intelligence, Aaron Lucas, will serve as acting director of

National Intelligence. Franco, Ordonez, and Pierre News, the White House. A federal judge has

cleared Kilmar Obrigo Garcia of all charges. The court found that the Trump administration's

case against him may have been retaliation after his wrongful deportation to El Salvador gained national

attention. Mariana Bakial from Member Station WPLN reports. Prosecutors charged Obrego Garcia

with human smuggling based on a two-and-a-half-year-old traffic stop in Tennessee. In his ruling,

Judge Waverly Crenshaw found issue with the delay in prosecution.

Abrago Garcia's federal investigation began only after the Supreme Court ordered he be returned to the U.S. He also pointed to a senior prosecutor who resigned from the DOJ after

his recommendation not to charge Abrago Garcia went unheeded. For NPR news, I'm Mariana Baca Yao in Nashville.

We are going to be standing down from a launch.

They're trying again tonight.
