The Donald Trump administration is giving immigration officers broader authority to detain legal refugees seeking green cards as part of expanded national security vetting efforts. A new memo from the Department of Homeland Security requires refugees to return to government custody one year after arriving in the United States for additional inspection and re-screening. Officials say the policy is aimed at strengthening post-admission vetting, aligning refugee reviews with other immigration processes, and promoting public safety as applications for lawful permanent residency move forward.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Wednesday that more than 20 countries would participate in the gathering. She added that the president would give details on the financial package: "He will announce that member states have pledged more than $5 billion towards the Gaza humanitarian and reconstruction efforts and have also committed thousands of personnel to the international stabilization force and local police to maintain security and peace for Gazans." Asked about the Vatican's decision not to participate in the initiative, Leavitt called the move "deeply unfortunate."

One of the most promising leads yet in the investigation into the abduction of Nancy Guthrie proved a disappointment on Tuesday when DNA from a glove found near her Arizona home failed to score a match in a national database of genetic profiles. The outcome, announced by the Pima County Sheriff's Department and FBI, marked a major setback for investigators as the search for the 84-year-old mother of television journalist Savannah Guthrie stretched into its 17th day. Investigators had hoped a DNA sample retrieved from the glove last week would produce what forensic experts call a "hit" when it was submitted for comparison with known DNA profiles stored in a national database called CODIS, short for the Combined DNA Index System. The glove, found discarded in a roadside field about 2 miles from the elder Guthrie's Tucson-area house, resembled a pair worn by an armed man in a ski mask seen in video footage trying to disable her doorbell camera in the early morning hours shortly before she was abducted. Sheriff Chris Nanos has said he believes the man in the video, who was also wearing an over-stuffed backpack and a handgun in a holster, is the likely perpetrator of the abduction and the primary suspect authorities are looking for. But the sheriff's department said on Tuesday that the glove DNA failed to trigger a match in CODIS or with DNA found at the Guthrie property. "At this point, there have been no confirmed CODIS matches in this investigation," the sheriff's office said, adding that additional DNA evidence recovered at Guthrie's residence was still being analyzed. "CODIS is one option of many databases that are available," the agency said. Guthrie's disappearance, treated by authorities as an apparent kidnapping for ransom, has drawn intense public interest around the globe, with news media outlets following every twist and turn in the case. Much of the probe involved old-fashioned detective work, including investigators working with managers of Walmart retail outlets to pinpoint a person who purchased the backpack seen in the video, the sheriff's office said. Phillip Martin, co-owner of a Tucson gun store, told Reuters on Tuesday that an FBI agent who acknowledged he was working on the Guthrie case visited his shop with a list of fewer than 20 potential customers and asked if any had purchased a weapon there. Martin said he checked but none had. The visit to this gun shop was more than a week ago, and law enforcement continue to refine lists of potential persons of interest. The list being shown to gun stores was developed from cross-referencing backpack and holster purchases and other data points, a law enforcement official told Reuters. In other efforts, the sheriff's department said its investigators had been using a "signal sniffer" technology that produces a heat map to identify potential search targets within a given area. Parsons Corp, which designed the system, said it has been used by search teams in the Guthrie case operating by helicopter, ground vehicles and on foot. Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31 when she was dropped off at her home near Tucson by her family after she had dined with them, and was reported missing by relatives the following day, authorities have said. Nanos has said the elder Guthrie was extremely limited in her physical mobility and could not have left her home unassisted, leading investigators to conclude early on that she had been taken against her will. At least two purported ransom notes have surfaced since she vanished, both of them delivered initially to news media outlets. There has been no known direct contact between any suspects and Guthrie's family or authorities. Savannah Guthrie, 54, co-anchor of the popular NBC News morning show "Today," has posted several video messages, along with her brother Camron Guthrie and sister Annie Guthrie, pleading for their mother's return and appealing for the public's help in solving the case. On Sunday, Nanos released a statement declaring that immediate family members - all siblings and their spouses - have been ruled out as suspects in the case, saying "The Guthrie family are victims, plain and simple." Traces of blood found on Guthrie's front porch were confirmed by DNA tests to have come from Guthrie, officials said last week. Law enforcement and family members have described her as being in frail health and in need of daily medication to survive. She also has a pacemaker. Nanos told Reuters last week that no proof of life has surfaced since the abduction, but added that "there's not been any proof of death either," saying his working presumption is that Nancy Guthrie remains alive.

Two days of peace talks in Geneva between Ukraine and Russia ended on Wednesday without a breakthrough, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accusing Moscow of stalling U.S.-mediated efforts to end the four-year-old war. Ukraine has faced repeated pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to agree to a deal that could mean painful concessions, as Russian forces pound its power grid and slowly advance on the battlefield. As the delegations met for a second day at a hotel in the Swiss city, under the mediation of U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, Zelenskyy had called the first day "difficult". "We can state that Russia is trying to drag out negotiations that could already have reached the final stage," he wrote on X. Moments after his statement, the delegations broke off the talks and said they would meet again in the future, without providing a date. Russia's chief negotiator, former culture minister Vladimir Medinsky, described the talks as "difficult, but business-like". Medinsky - whom Ukrainian officials have accused of engaging in history lectures rather than substantive talks - spoke with the Ukrainians for nearly two hours after formal talks ended, according to a representative of Kyiv's chief negotiator, Rustem Umerov. A spokesperson for Zelenskyy said the formal part of the talks had addressed territory in Ukraine's east and the fate of the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, both sticking points since the beginning of the process. Moscow wants Ukraine to cede the roughly 20% of the eastern region of Donetsk that Russian forces have been unable to conquer - something Kyiv has repeatedly rejected. Kyiv, meanwhile, wants Zaporizhzhia, Europe's largest nuclear plant, to be operated by the U.S. and Ukraine, which Russia has said is unacceptable. Tuesday is the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion, which has killed hundreds of thousands, driven millions from their homes, and ravaged Ukrainian cities, towns and villages. Russia denies deliberately targeting civilians. Trump has twice suggested in recent days that it is up to Kyiv to make sure a deal is agreed quickly. He had told reporters on Monday: "Ukraine better come to the table fast. That's all I'm telling you." In an interview with the U.S. news outlet Axios, Zelenskiy was quoted as saying that it was "not fair" that Trump kept publicly demanding concessions from Ukraine, not Russia. Zelenskyy also said any plan requiring Ukraine to give up territory that Russia had not captured in the east would be rejected if put to a referendum. "I hope it is just his tactics and not the decision," Zelenskyy was quoted as saying. The Geneva meeting follows two rounds of U.S.-brokered talks in Abu Dhabi that made no breakthrough. Both Zelenskyy and Umerov have made a point of repeatedly thanking the U.S. for its mediation in recent weeks. Zelenskyy has expressed concern that U.S. Congressional mid-term elections in November could draw Washington's attention away from efforts to end Europe's biggest conflict since World War Two. Kyiv is also seeking strong U.S.-backed security guarantees to prevent future Russian attacks in the event of a peace deal. U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll and Brigadier General Michael Adamski took part in three-way military negotiations on Wednesday, according to a U.S. official. Russian news agencies quoted a source as saying that Tuesday's six hours of talks had been "very tense". Umerov had said his delegation in Geneva had no "excessive expectations". In all, Russia occupies about 20% of Ukraine's national territory, including Crimea, seized and unilaterally annexed in 2014. It is advancing slowly along the roughly 1,200 km (750-mile) frontline; analysts say it has gained about 1.5% of Ukraine since early 2024. However, its recent airstrikes on energy infrastructure have left hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians without heating and power during an exceptionally harsh winter. Ukraine is pushing for its European allies to become more involved in the peace process. Delegations from France, Germany, Britain and others were present in Geneva and were briefed on the talks, but did not take part directly.
