Family members of Israeli hostages held in Gaza spoke with President Trump who told them over the phone that their loved ones will be “coming back on Monday.” The call came after Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of Trump’s plan for Gaza, a ceasefire and hostage deal that would see the release of all remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas.

Oct. 9, 2025, 5:00 AM EDTBy Dareh GregorianPresident Donald Trump’s efforts to deploy National Guard troops in states that don’t want them will be tested in two different courts Thursday.Lawyers for Chicago and Illinois will go before a federal judge to try to block troops from being deployed in the country’s third most populous city, while attorneys for Portland and Oregon will urge a federal appeals court to leave in place a restraining order against troop deployments there.The hearings — in Chicago and San Francisco — are set to begin at noon ET in courthouses about 2,000 miles apart.“We’re looking for the courts to do the right thing,” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, told reporters Wednesday.Trump defended his actions in both states. “Everything we’re doing is very lawful. What they’re doing is not lawful,” he said at the White House later Wednesday.Illinois sued Monday seeking to block the administration from deploying federalized National Guard troops on the streets of Chicago, contending it’s illegal, unconstitutional and unnecessary.Trump ordered the deployment over the weekend. U.S. Northern Command said that 500 National Guard members have been mobilized — 300 from Illinois and 200 from Texas — and that some of the troops from Texas were on duty “in the greater Chicago area” as of Wednesday night.“These forces will protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other U.S. Government personnel who are performing federal functions, including the enforcement of federal law, and to protect federal property,” Northern Command said in a statement.The lawsuit argues that there’s no emergency in Chicago and that the administration has been trying to provoke unrest by increasing the presence of federal law agents who are using “unprecedented, brute force tactics for civil immigration enforcement.”Those tactics include shooting “chemical munitions at groups that included media and legal observers” at an ICE facility outside Chicago and staging a dramatically produced raid at an apartment building in which agents rappelled down from Black Hawk helicopters.“The community’s horror at these tactics and their significant consequences have resulted in entirely foreseeable protests,” the suit said.“The deployment of federalized National Guard, including from another state, infringes on Illinois’s sovereignty and right to self-governance” and “will cause only more unrest,” it added.The White House has maintained that Trump is trying to keep American cities and federal personnel safe. Trump said this week that if the courts wind up derailing his efforts to use the National Guard, he could invoke the Insurrection Act, which would empower him to use the U.S. military domestically.Trump floats invoking Insurrection Act amid showdown with Democratic-led cities12:07″The Trump administration is committed to restoring law and order in American cities that are plagued by violence due to Democrat mismanagement. And President Trump will not stand by while violent rioters attack federal law enforcement officers,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement Wednesday.The administration is expected to make similar arguments to a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit of Appeals in San Francisco, which it’s asking to pause a federal judge’s order in Oregon over the weekend blocking the state’s National Guard from being federalized and deployed.The “extraordinary” order by U.S. District Judge Karen Immergut “improperly impinges on the Commander in Chief’s supervision of military operations, countermands a military directive to officers in the field, and endangers federal personnel and property,” Justice Department attorneys contended in their court filing.They also noted that the 9th Circuit blocked a similar restraining order this year involving National Guard troops in Los Angeles and held then that the president’s judgment about whether troops are needed should get “a great level of deference.”White House expects it will win lawsuit challenging deployment of National Guard to Portland12:06Immergut, a Trump appointee, said in her order that the Portland case is different from the California one, in part because it appears Trump was acting in bad faith with his exaggerated claims of violence in the city, including that it was “war ravaged” with “ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa” and “crazy people” who “try to burn down buildings, including federal buildings” every night.While there had been some violent protests in June, demonstrations “were not significantly violent or disruptive in the days — or even weeks — leading up to the President’s directive on September 27,” Immergut wrote, describing the protests as mostly “small and uneventful.””On September 26, the eve of the President’s directive, law enforcement ‘observed approximately 8-15 people at any given time out front of ICE. Mostly sitting in lawn chairs and walking around. Energy was low, minimal activity,’” her order said.Dareh GregorianDareh Gregorian is a politics reporter for NBC News.

Sept. 30, 2025, 9:13 PM EDTBy Tim StellohThe sister of a Texas man whose wife allegedly killed him with a fatal dose of insulin testified Tuesday that before his 2023 death she’d grown increasingly worried about him after learning of Sarah Hartsfield’s ominous past.Jeannie Hartsfield took the stand in a courtroom east of Houston on the first day of testimony in Sarah Hartsfield’s murder trial in the death of Joseph Hartsfield, 46, and described learning of an alleged murder plot targeting another husband.The revelation came after Sarah Hartsfield, who has pleaded not guilty in Joseph Hartsfield’s death, disclosed to her sister-in-law that she’d also fatally shot a former partner in self-defense, Jeannie Hartsfield testified.Sarah Hartsfield in court.Rebeccah Glaser / DatelineThe sibling initially didn’t think much about the self-defense shooting, she testified. But she said she grew very concerned after Sarah Hartsfield told her that she’d been investigated by the FBI in an alleged murder plot.“Things didn’t seem right,” Jeannie Hartsfield said from the stand. More on Sarah HeartsfieldAfter 5-time bride is charged in husband’s murder, other deaths get a fresh lookSarah Hartsfield’s marriages and romances often ended under grim circumstancesMurder suspect’s son has been waiting for his mom’s arrest his whole lifeHartsfield fatally shot her fiancé in 2018The apparent plot referred to allegations that Sarah Hartsfield attempted to enlist her fourth husband to kill her third husband’s new wife in Sierra Vista, Arizona.The allegations, which Sarah Hartsfield has denied, were made by the third husband, Christopher Donohue, in an affidavit in support of a protection order that he filed in 2021. The fourth husband, David George, has said that he had no intention of carrying out the murder.A spokesman for the Sierra Vista Police Department has previously said a federal agent asked the department to monitor Donohue’s home with a “close patrol.” No charges were filed in the case. The FBI has not commented on the case.Donohue and George have both been subpoenaed to testify in Sarah Hartsfield’s murder trial.The self-defense shooting referred to the 2018 killing of Sarah Hartsfield’s fiancé, David Bragg. During a bond hearing in 2023, Sarah Hartsfield testified that she fatally shot Bragg in self-defense after an argument over her third husband’s decision to visit their children in Minnesota outside of normal visitation. After Sarah Hartsfield’s indictment in Joseph Hartsfield’s death, the county attorney who cleared her in Bragg’s killing — he previously said she had “no reasonable possibility of retreating” — said the case was “active” again. Victim Joseph Hartsfield.KPRCDouglas County Attorney Chad Larson has not responded to requests for comment on the status of that investigation.Tuesday’s testimony came after prosecutors began laying out their case against Sarah Hartsfield, described by Chambers County Assistant District Attorney Mallory Vargas as a performer whose “true identity” was concealed by her whirlwind relationship with Joseph Hartsfield.Within a year, the prosecutor said, the pair’s relationship had soured. As Joseph Hartsfield was preparing to leave her, Vargas alleged, Sarah Hartsfield intentionally caused his death.Officials have said that Joseph Hartsfield — who had diabetes — died on Jan. 15, 2023, from complications of toxic effects of insulin, the life-saving medicine that helps regulate blood sugar and has been used as a difficult-to-detect murder weapon. Joseph Hartsfield’s manner of death was listed as undetermined. Defense lawyer Case Darwin said that prosecutors were “telling a story” and suggested that Joseph Hartsfield’s death could be linked to poor management of his health issues. He didn’t take care of himself, Darwin said, and he’d previously been hospitalized for diabetes-related complications. Joseph Hartsfield had administered his own insulin, Darwin said, and there was no evidence showing who gave him the fatal dose.Sarah Hartsfield talks a lot, Darwin said, and she is “adamant she didn’t do this.”Tim StellohTim Stelloh is a breaking news reporter for NBC News Digital.Susan Leibowitz contributed.
