In a wide-ranging interview with NBC's Meet the Press, President Trump was asked whether he agrees

with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who said last month that of course people in the U.S. are entitled to due process. I don't know. I have to respond by saying again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said. Trump remarks come as his administration pushes to deport immigrants who are in the country illegally. Critics say he is seeking to chip away at due process, citing the case of Kilmar Obrego-Garcia, the Salvadoran man. The administration

acknowledges the deported in error. The Supreme Court has said the administration must work to return Abrego-Garcia to the U.S. Israel vowing retribution after a missile fired by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen landed near Israel's main airport today. Flights were disrupted. Israeli officials say four people were lightly injured. NPR's Kerry Kahn reports on this latest Houthi attack on targets in Israel. Sirens went off in many cities in central Israel, including Tel Aviv, early Sunday morning, sending Israelis into bomb shelters and halting flights at the international airport. The missile or debris from it fell in a field near Ben Gurion Airport.

Most missiles from Yemen are intercepted, but some have penetrated Israeli airspace and caused damage. A Yemeni official posted on social media that the attack is a warning to international airlines to not fly into Israel's main airport. Since the start of the Gaza war in solidarity with Palestinians, the Houthis have sent missiles into Israel. Israel's defense minister says forces will no longer use restraint against

Catholic cardinals who will elect the next pope are meeting and preparing for the conclave that begins Wednesday. NPR's Scott Detro is in Rome. On Sunday, New York's Archbishop, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, presided over mass in a residential Roman neighborhood. This will be the second conclave Dolan takes place in after the 2013 conclave that elected Pope Francis.

He says this time he's better prepared. It helps. I was so nervous last time and I thought, now what do I do? But now I feel kind of seasoned, a little more relaxed. Dolan spoke at both of President Trump's inaugurals. Asked about Trump's social media posts showing an AI image of Trump as Pope, Dolan said it, quote, wasn't good and that he hoped Trump himself was not directly involved in the post. The Catholic bishops of New York state released a statement criticizing Trump's post,

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is rejecting allowing U.S. troops into Mexico to help in the fight against drug trafficking.

Sheinbaum said this weekend that sovereignty is not for sale. Her remarks follow a Wall Street Journal article that said President Trump pressured Sheinbaum to accept a bigger role for the U. the US military during a phone call last month. A hospital in Market in South Sudan were bombed this weekend, leaving at least seven people dead, that's according to Doctors Without Borders. Kate Bartler reports it's the latest deadly incident as the country sees a resurgence of violence. A helicopter dropped a bomb on the hospital in Zhongli State, the aid agency said, and a drone then bombed a nearby market. All medical supplies were destroyed at the only hospital in the area serving more than 100,000 people.

Doctors without Borders called it a clear violation of international humanitarian law. It was unclear who was responsible, though in recent weeks the South Sudanese government has been cracking down on areas that support Fais President Riek Macha, who was arrested in March. Macha had been part of a unity government. The UN has warned that the country is on the brink of returning to full-blown civil war.
