(CNN) — Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC’s “Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie, has been reported missing from her Arizona home, officials said.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen Saturday night at approximately 9:30 p.m. near her residence in the Catalina Foothills area near Tucson, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said at a news conference late Sunday. A family member called 911 around noon Sunday to report her missing, the sheriff added.

Nancy Guthrie has some physical ailments, but the family reported she has not had any cognitive issues, Nanos said.

“The scene at the house also has some concerns for us,” the sheriff said, without providing further details.

Search and rescue teams, including volunteers, dogs, border patrol agents and helicopters, have been dispatched overnight.

“We’ve pretty much just thrown everything at this as we can,” Nanos said.

Detectives from the homicide team are investigating and haven’t ruled out possible foul play, Nanos said.

“We can confirm this is a missing persons case, and the family is working closely with local law enforcement,” an NBC News spokesperson said. “The family is grateful for the outreach, thoughts and prayers.

Savannah Guthrie, who lost her father before her senior year of high school, has spoken highly of her mother and their close relationship.

When the anchor was offered her first news job in Butte, Montana, at the age of 21, her mother encouraged her to pursue the role, despite the distance from home.

“It’s not because she didn’t want me to stay. Of course she wanted me to stay,” the TODAY anchor recalled. “But she’s like, ‘I’m not going to stand in the way of your dreams.’”

Happy Groundhog Day! Punxsutawney Phil will emerge from his burrow today to predict whether we’re in for an early spring or six more weeks of winter. But take it lightly — the famed rodent is only right about 40% of the time.

Here’s what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day.

1⃣ Government shutdown

A partial government shutdown is underway, and lawmakers are racing to limit its impact. The shutdown began Saturday and is expected to last until at least Tuesday, when the House is set to hold critical votes on a group of bills to fund the federal government. The proposed package would fund most departments through September but provide only a two-week extension for Homeland Security as lawmakers discuss potential reforms to federal immigration enforcement. Even a brief shutdown is already taking a toll: more than 10,000 FAA employees will be furloughed, and air traffic controllers will be required to work without pay until the government reopens.

2⃣ Grammy Awards

The music industry’s biggest stars gathered Sunday in Los Angeles for the 68th Grammy Awards. Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny took home the top prize, album of the year, for “Debí Tirar Más Fotos (I Should Have Taken More Photos).” He opened his acceptance speech with a declaration of “ICE out,” which drew a lengthy round of applause before criticizing the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. Rapper Kendrick Lamar was another major winner, taking home the most awards of the night, including record of the year for “Luther” featuring SZA. The winner of best new artist was Olivia Dean, whose summertime hit “Man I Need” went viral online.

3⃣ Epstein files

President Donald Trump responded to a jab Sunday by Grammys host Trevor Noah regarding his friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!! I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close,” Trump posted on social media today. On Friday, the Justice Department released more than 3 million Epstein-related documents, which reference Trump more than 1,000 times, along with other prominent figures. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche signaled on CNN Sunday that the DOJ will not pursue new charges related to the Epstein case.

4⃣ Immigration protests

Massive protests took place across the US over the weekend, with demonstrators calling for ICE agents to leave their cities. The rallies and marches came after a nationwide strike on Friday prompted a shutdown of schools, workplaces and businesses from coast to coast. Many people continue to voice their solidarity with Minneapolis, where the deadly shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good have transformed the national conversation on immigration enforcement and appear to ha

Many people continue to voice their solidarity with Minneapolis, where the deadly shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good have transformed the national conversation on immigration enforcement and appear to have driven a tone shift from the White House in recent days. Some top Republicans are also encouraging the administration to shift its strategy, warning that the optics of ongoing protests and violence in M

Estos hermanos sacrifican una vida adolescente normal para vigilar a ICE en Minneapolis, y dicen que no se arrepentirán

Los nombres de los adolescentes son Sam y Ben, pero para los agentes federales de inmigración con los que interactúan a diario, los dos chicos que manejan teléfonos celulares y anotan números de placas son un dúo conocido como “los hermanos”.

Estos hermanos de Chicago, de 16 y 17 años, dijeron que se han ganado una variedad de apodos desde que se convirtieron en testigos dedicados que documentan la Operación Midway Blitz de la administración Trump, la ofensiva inmigratoria turboalimentada que arrasó los vecindarios de Windy City a partir de septiembre.

Ahora, los jóvenes siguen de cerca a los agentes en Minneapolis, epicentro de la aplicación de las leyes de inmigración en Estados Unidos, que se ha desplazado hacia el norte, a las ciudades de St. Paul y Minneapolis. Forman parte de una creciente oleada de observadores en todo el estado, donde la tensión se ha disparado durante los enfrentamientos entre miles de agentes federales y manifestantes, firmes y furiosos, tras las muertes de Renee Good y Alex Pretti.

Sam y Ben Luhmann son observadores capacitados de ICE que documentan las acciones de los agentes federales de inmigración con videos de celulares y alertan rápidamente de su ubicación con silbatos y bocinas. Sus esfuerzos reflejan un movimiento creciente en todo el país, donde miles de padres, maestros, clérigos y organizadores comunitarios han buscado capacitación sobre lo que pueden hacer legalmente al presenciar un arresto migratorio.

Sin embargo, la administración Trump ha criticado a los transeúntes que graban a los agentes de inmigración durante operativos de control. En julio, la secretaria del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, Kristi Noem, afirmó que la “violencia” contra los agentes incluye “grabar (a los agentes de ICE) dónde se encuentran cuando realizan operativos, animar a otras personas a acercarse y a lanzar objetos, piedras y botellas”.

Los críticos de la ofensiva inmigratoria afirman que los observadores son necesarios, dadas las tácticas peligrosas que describen los agentes federales, que ponen en riesgo a las personas. Funcionarios de la administración Trump argumentan que están tomando las medidas necesarias para garantizar la seguridad de los estadounidenses y afirman que los agentes del ICE se enfrentan a un aumento significativo de agresiones. Los funcionarios federales también afirmaron que los agentes se muestran comedidos a pesar de las amenazas y los ataques.

Los hermanos ahora viajan entre los hogares de sus familiares y los Airbnb, con la intención de documentar lo que algunos describen como la agresividad sin precedentes de la Operación Metro Surge en Minneapolis.

“(Los agentes federales) constantemente empujan a las personas y las golpean, les dan rodillazos en la cara cuando están en el suelo o les meten la cabeza en el hielo o el pavimento para rasparlas”, dijo Ben.

La presidenta encarada de Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, anunció este domingo la exportación del primer cargamento con gas licuado de petróleo.

“Orgullosa de compartir este momento: zarpó desde Venezuela el buque Chrysopigi Lady con el 1er cargamento de Gas Licuado de Petróleo”, publicó Rodríguez en Telegram. “Junto a la clase trabajadora marcamos este hito histórico al exportar la primera molécula de gas del país; un logro para el bienestar del pueblo venezolano”, añadió.

Rodríguez no dio detalles sobre el destino del cargamento, pero según el sitio marinetraffic.com, el buque se dirige al puerto de Providence, Rhode Island, en Estados Unidos.

El 16 de enero Rodríguez había anunciado la firma de un contrato para que Venezuela exporte por primera vez en su historia gas licuado de petróleo.

Este envío ocurre, además, días después de la aprobación de la Ley Orgánica de Hidrocarburos en la Asamblea Nacional el pasado jueves. La normativa busca incentivar la inversión privada y extranjera en el sector petrolero.
