Trump 100 days \/ border numbers <\/strong>\u00bb <\/strong>Today marks 100 days since President Trump moved into the White House for the second time.
How those 100 days have gone \u2026 of course, all depends on who you ask.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer:
SCHUMER: \u200aThe start of Donald Trump’s second term has been the worst start of any president in modern times.<\/em>
But the White House says Trump\u2019s second term has thus far been a historic success \u2026 starting with the southern border.
Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair:
BLAIR: \u200aLast month we had the lowest border crossings on record, and that’s a result of not new legislation as Biden said we would need, but just a new president getting the job done.<\/em>
And border czar Tom Homan told White House reporters that the United States, in his view, now has the most secure southern border in recorded U.S. history.
Trump executive orders<\/strong> \u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>And President Trump Monday signed another executive order related to immigration.<\/p>\n

It directs federal officials to publish lists of so-called \u2018sanctuary\u2019 cities and states that don\u2019t cooperate with immigration authorities \u2026 and to look for federal funds that could be withheld from them.
White House Press Secretary Karline Leavitt:
LEAVITT: \u200aWe’re gonna continue to forge ahead with this mass deportation campaign, and the president is open to all remedies to do that.<\/em>
Trump also signed an order aimed at strengthening law enforcement. It calls for more training, better pay, and stronger legal protections for police officers.
Separately, the president signed an executive order directing the Department of Transportation to enforce rules requiring commercially licensed truck drivers \u2026 to be able to read and speak English. The administration says being able to read road signs and communicate with law enforcement is a matter of public safety.
Russia-Ukraine latest <\/strong>\u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>Leavitt also told reporters that the president remains heavily focused on trying to broker an end to the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

LEAVITT: The president has made it clear he wants to see a permanent ceasefire first to stop the killing\u2014stop the bloodshed. <\/em>
Russia now says it\u2019s planning to temporarily halt its attacks against Ukraine next month \u2026 but only for a few days: from May 8th through the 10th.
Vladimir Putin says the unilateral ceasefire will mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. That’s the day Nazi Germany surrendered to the Allies in World War II.
Ukrainians on the ground say they’re skeptical \u2026
LUTSENKO: [Speaking Ukrainian]<\/em>
One man heard there saying no one trusts Putin to keep his word, even for three days.
Leaders in Kyiv say they want a ceasefire of at least 30 days.
V<\/strong>ancouver car attack latest <\/strong>\u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>The suspect in a deadly vehicle attack in Vancouver, British Columbia \u2026 faces at least eight counts of second degree murder \u2026 with more charges likely on the way.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say Kai-Ji Adam Lo drove an SUV into a crowd of people celebrating a Filipino festival Saturday night.
Vancouver Police Sergeant Steve Addison:<\/p>\n

ADDISON<\/a>: Here in Vancouver, for our community, our close community, our tight community, we’ve never experienced a crime to this scale, a crime this horrific.<\/em>
Investigators do not believe it was an act of terrorism. Authorities say Lo has a history of mental health issues and encounters with police.<\/p>\n

Four children killed when vehicle smashed through building <\/strong>\u00bb<\/strong> <\/strong>Meantime in Illinois Monday, several children were killed \u2026 when a car smashed through a building during an after-school program.<\/p>\n

The crash occurred in Chatham outside of Springfield.
Deputy Police Chief Scott Tarter:
TARTER: \u200aWe can confirm that there are four fatalities, three that were struck outside of the building before the vehicle entered, and one inside. Several patients have been transferred to local area hospitals by ambulance and one by life flight helicopter.<\/em>
The driver was uninjured but taken to a hospital for evaluation.
It wasn’t immediately known what led up to the crash or whether it was intentional.
Canada election <\/strong>\u00bb<\/strong> <\/strong>The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation projected last night \u2026 that Prime Minister Mark Carney\u2019s Liberal Party has won Canada\u2019s federal election.
The victory capped a dramatic turnaround for the Liberals.
Months ago, Canadian voters appeared ready to move on from a decade of Liberal Party rule. And opposition leader Pierre Poilievre enjoyed a big lead in the polls.
But Carney then shifted toward the center on some issues. And many political analysts believe the trade war with the United States led to a surge in nationalism that helped the Liberals flip the election narrative.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Kent Covington.
Straight ahead: an update on the war in Ukraine. Plus, recovery efforts in North Carolina after last year\u2019s hurricane and this spring\u2019s wildfires.<\/p>\n
