Planet Money is there. From California's most expensive fires ever. That was my home home. Yeah. I grew up there. It's ashes. To the potentially largest deportation in U.S. history. They're going to come to the businesses. They're going to come to the restaurants. They're going to come here. Planet Money. We go to the places at the center of the story. The Planet Money podcast from NPR. Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh. President Trump says Palestinians would not be allowed to return to Gaza under his plan

to relocate the enclave's residence and take over the territory following the Israel-Hamas war. NPR's Danielle Estrin reports from Tel Aviv. Trump announced last week that the U.S. would take over Gaza and rebuild it, while Palestinians would be sent to neighboring countries. Administration officials had said that relocation would be temporary. But in comments made to Fox News released Monday, Trump says Palestinians would not get to return to Gaza.

Think of it as a real estate development for the future. It would be a beautiful piece of land. Would the Palestinians have the right to return? No, they wouldn't because they're going to have much better housing, much better. In other words, I'm talking about building a permanent place for them because if they have to return now, it will be years before you could ever. It's not habitable. Israeli leaders have praised Trump's proposal.

Arab countries reject it. Daniel Estrin, NPR News, Tel Aviv. The administration is raising the pressure on local law enforcement to help the federal government with immigration enforcement, whose NPR's Martin Costi. Florida says its highway patrol will help identify and hold people who are wanted for deportation, and other Republican-led states are encouraging similar cooperation. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is pausing grants to Democratic-run jurisdictions with sanctuary laws. University of Pittsburgh law professor David Harris predicts there will

be some increase in cooperation by local law enforcement. The places you're going to see it, I would anticipate, would be sheriff's departments. That's because sheriffs are elected, and if you've got a constituency that favors this, you're going to look for ways to do what your constituents want. Courts have found that the federal government may not order local police to help, but the Justice Department is now suing Chicago for quote, impeding federal immigration enforcement. Martin Costi, NPR News.

Weeks into his presidency, Donald Trump's administration has triggered a series of lawsuits. Political reporter Kyle Cheney has been covering core challenges to protect birthright citizenship. Across the board, they've stopped it for different reasons. We saw one judge out in Washington state, a Reagan appointee, really excoriate Donald Trump directly and say this is another, you know, him, you know, viewing the rule of law as an impediment to his policy goals. Other judges have been a little bit more measured. That's Janie on NPR's Here and Now.

This morning, a third judge in New Hampshire blocked the executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of non-U.S. citizens. The Central Nevada Health District is confirming the state's first human case of bird flu. According to a statement, officials say a farm worker in Churchill County was exposed to dairy cattle infected with the H5N1 virus. Release says a patient had conjunctivitis with no other reported symptoms. The avian influenza has reduced milk output in cattle. It has also struck tens of millions of poultry birds leading to egg shortages and soaring egg prices. It's NPR. Science is showing that mental health and wellbeing changes throughout the seasons,

throughout the week, and even throughout the day. NPR's Emily Kwong reports on a new study showing how a mood tends to lift in the morning. The study comes from the journal BMJ Mental Health. Across one million observations from 50,000 adults in the UK, gathered by the University College London, mental health and wellbeing tended to be better

in the summer than in the winter. And on average, the group's mood was best in the morning. During the early hours, participants tended to report higher feelings of happiness and life satisfaction. But if this makes you night owls shake your fist with rage, don't worry. Study author Fei-Fei Bu knows this model does not speak for everyone everywhere. What we focus on mostly in the study is a group trend. It's not a personal rule book. But Bu says data like this can help mental health care providers adjust their treatments

to match a patient's fluctuating needs across the day. For NPR News, I'm Emily Kwong. It was likely an especially good morning for Eagles fans. Fans celebrating last night after their team's stunning victory at Super Bowl 59, Philadelphia dominated Kansas City 40-22 and denied the two-time winning chiefs what could have been a historic three-peat. The Philadelphia Eagles' win at the Superdome in New Orleans is the franchise's second Super Bowl title.

U.S. stocks end the day higher with the Dow closing up 167 points and Nasdaq was up nearly 200. This is NPR News.
