Kilmar Abrego Garcia is back in the US after he was wrongly deported to

El Salvador by the Trump administration earlier this year. He's now in a Tennessee jail and faces federal charges of conspiracy to transport migrants in the US without legal status. Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland says a court is where President Trump should have put him to begin with. This is not the only case where President Trump and his administration are flouting the Constitution and due process. But my bottom line has been and remains adherence to the Constitution in the United States because if you put it at risk for one person, you do jeopardize those rights for everybody. to the Constitution of the United States, because if you put it at risk for one person,

French President Emmanuel Macron will visit Greenland in June as NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports, he'll be the first foreign head of state to do so since US President Donald Trump's repeated threats to take control of the autonomous Danish territory. Macron's office said he had been invited by the territory's Prime Minister Jens Friedrich

Nielsen and Danish leader Mette Friedrichsen. The three will hold talks focused on North Atlantic and Arctic security, climate change, energy transition, and critical minerals. Danish and Greenlandic leaders have insisted that the autonomous territory must decide its own future. A majority of its residents favor independence in the long term, but have repeatedly said Washington cannot acquire them.

unity. The French presidency said the visit is aimed at strengthening cooperation with Greenland. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Nice, France. The State's Department is condemning the shooting of Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe on Saturday. He was wounded while attending a campaign rally in Bogota. His condition is still not known.

Washington DC is the host for this year's World Pride celebrations and Saturday marked one of the biggest events of the season, the Pride Parade. MPR's Alana Weiss reports on how the political climate is affecting this year's festivities. Hundreds of thousands of people attend DC's popular pride events every year. This year, however, national politics have complicated the celebration. After decades of hard-earned gains for queer civil rights, the Trump administration has aggressively pared back many of those protections. Executive orders from President Trump have cut diversity programs in the federal government

and limited trans people's rights. At the parade, corporate sponsorship was down down and overall attendance was lower than expected. But among those at the event interviewed by NPR, the challenges prompted them to make their presence known at Pride and to pick up the mantle of queer rights defenders from the past.
