The 84-year-old mother of U.S. journalist and television host Savannah Guthrie was reported missing over the weekend after vanishing from her home near Tucson, Arizona, the Pima County sheriff's department said on Monday.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home on Saturday night, when she was visited by her children, and was reported missing on Sunday afternoon. She has limited mobility and could not have left her home unaided, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told reporters. He and her family were especially worried because she needs to take daily medication.
"She's 84, she needs her meds, her family needs her too," Nanos said, imploring the public to send in tips. "This is not dementia-related, she is as sharp as a tack. The family wants everybody to know this isn't somebody who just wandered off."
Nanos says the homicide team is also involved, which isn't standard for such cases.
Savannah Guthrie did not appear in her usual seat on NBC's "Today" show on Monday morning, which broadcasts from New York City.
"Right now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear mom," the presenter said in a statement read out by her colleagues.
Punxsutawney Phil, the legendary groundhog of Pennsylvania, has forecast six more weeks of winter. On Monday, Phil emerged from his tree stump at Gobbler’s Knob in rural Pennsylvania and saw his shadow, signaling that winter weather will continue before spring arrives.
The tradition dates back more than a century and has roots in European farming customs. It has grown in popularity over the years, especially following the 1993 movie Groundhog Day. Every year, crowds gather to watch the groundhog’s prediction, making it one of the most highly anticipated weather events of the season.
The mayor of Portland, Oregon, has demanded that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) pull its agents out of the city after federal officers used tear gas and other crowd-control munitions against demonstrators at a protest outside an ICE facility.
Mayor Keith Wilson characterized Saturday’s protest as largely peaceful and said the majority of those present posed no threat to federal agents. He criticized the use of chemical agents, calling it a “trampling of the Constitution” and urging ICE employees to resign and federal officials to leave Portland.
Witnesses reported that tear gas, pepper balls and rubber bullets were deployed as thousands of marchers gathered on the South Waterfront. Local police monitored the demonstration but did not make arrests, and paramedics treated protesters on scene.
The protest was part of nationwide demonstrations against the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement actions. President Donald Trump has instructed federal agents to be vigilant in protecting government property during protests, even as local leaders push back against their presence.
Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, have returned to Minnesota after being released from a Texas detention facility following a federal judge’s order.
The pair were detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a Minneapolis suburb on January 20 as part of a broader enforcement operation and transported more than 1,300 miles to the Dilley family detention center.
Their release came after a judge ruled they should be freed, and Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro personally escorted them back to Minnesota over the weekend.
The detention drew widespread attention after images of Liam wearing a bunny hat and a Spider-Man backpack circulated online, sparking public outrage.
The U.S. government says the father entered the country illegally, while the family’s attorney maintains they legally sought asylum and have a pending claim
President Donald Trump says he has instructed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem not to intervene in protests in Democrat-led cities unless local authorities specifically request federal assistance.
Trump emphasized that federal forces will focus on protecting government property, amid ongoing debates over federal operations in cities such as Minneapolis, where protests have followed controversial enforcement actions and confrontations involving federal agents.
The announcement clarifies the administration’s approach to managing demonstrations while maintaining federal oversight of critical infrastructure.
President Donald Trump announced that Washington’s Kennedy Center will close for up to two years starting in July for major renovations. The announcement comes after several performers canceled appearances following changes in leadership and the addition of Trump’s name to the building.
Trump says the planned upgrades are designed to preserve the center and strengthen its future, and the proposal is subject to approval by the Kennedy Center board, which now includes his appointees.
Iran’s leadership has warned the United States of a potential regional conflict if attacked, as tensions rise over Tehran’s nuclear program and domestic crackdown on protests. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Iranians “will not be intimidated” but do not seek to attack other countries, while pledging a strong response if provoked.
Despite the standoff, both sides signaled willingness to resume negotiations. Tehran’s top security official said talks were underway, and President Donald Trump confirmed that Iran is “seriously talking” with the U.S. about a deal that would prevent nuclear weapons.
Iran’s parliamentary speaker also announced plans to label EU armies as terrorist organizations and potentially expel EU military attaches, following the European Union’s recent designation of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards as terrorists.
Protests over economic hardships continue to challenge the Islamic Republic, with rights groups reporting thousands of deaths, though the figures could not be independently verified.

The Senate has voted to fund most of the government through the end of September after President Donald Trump made a deal with Democrats to carve out Homeland Security funding and allow Congress to debate new restrictions on federal immigration raids across the country. With a weekend shutdown looming, Trump made the rare deal with Senate Democrats on Thursday in the wake of the deaths of two protesters at the hands of federal agents in Minneapolis. It will now head to the House, which is not due back until Monday. That means the government could be in a partial shutdown temporarily over the weekend.
