In 2024, a truck crashed into Canaw in Moresque, where I work.

146 of our dogs needed homes fast.

We asked for help on Facebook.

Our story spread through WhatsApp messages and Instagram reposts, immediately people stepped

up.

And just six hours later, every dog was fostered.

Tonight, new questions over those ICE agents set to deploy to airports tomorrow to try

and help alleviate the long lines from TSA staffing shortages.

Investigations like this one in Louisiana stretching out of the terminal altogether look

all the way outside.

So how can ICE help and where will they be?

I'm currently working on the plan now.

The fight here in Washington over ending that homeland security shutdown.

So how long will this last?

Major escalations in the Middle East, President Trump threatening to obliterate Iran's

energy sites if it doesn't reopen a key waterway, relive in the region.

The world watching surging oil prices with the new numbers just in, the threat to the

global economy, and what it could mean when the market's open tomorrow.

The historic flooding emergency in Hawaii, our team on the ground, hundreds of rescues

and thousands of evacuations.

Plus, the reaction from superstar Jason Mamoah forced from his home.

Just in tonight, devastation in Minnesota, a horrifying house fire, killing four people,

an NHL reporter and her three young kids, how she's being remembered tonight.

Police questioning a person of interest after a Chicago college student was shot and killed

seemingly randomly.

The Guthrie family's emotional new message, asking the Tucson community not to forget their

mom Nancy, the meteor that rattled Houston, and crashed into this woman's home.

And there's good news tonight about the codes who couldn't be kept off the court.

This is NBC Nightly News with Holly Jackson.

Good evening.

We begin tonight with the new plan from the Trump administration to try and alleviate

the chaos at airports across the country, deploying ICE to help out the TSA.

Starting just hours from now, those agents are set to post up at major airports.

We don't know which ones yet, but it comes after weeks of TSA staffing shortages leading

to long lines like this one in New Orleans.

Look at that.

It's stretching all the way back to the parking garage.

That homeland security shutdown, leading some TSA workers to walk off the job with some

donations now being accepted to help them out since they missed their last check.

All setting the scene for that ICE deployment in the thick of spring break travel season.

Our Julie Serkin has more on the questions and the timeline.

Four's long wait times at airports across the country tonight.

It was four hours to get to the plane.

Line stretching all the way to the parking garage in New Orleans, a similar scene in New

York City and Philadelphia.

It's why President Trump says that on Monday, ICE agents will be going to airports to help

TSA workers who've gone without full paychecks since February.

White House borders are Tom Homan today admitting they don't have a plan yet.

I'm currently working on the plan now of execution will execute tomorrow.

NBC News has learned more than 400 TSA officers have quit since the shutdown began.

Thousands more are calling out many falling behind on their bills.

For 37 days, Democrats have blocked funding to the Department of Homeland Security because

of the administration's immigration crackdown.

It isn't yet clear what travelers will see tomorrow.

According to Homan, who is deploying ICE to the busiest airports, agents would take

on TSA responsibilities that don't require specialized training.

So you may not see them in the screening lines.

I think it's going to make it even more nerve wracking for people.

You think they'll be afraid to fly?

I will be.

And as Democrats push Homan for changes to ICE operations in exchange for reopening

DHS, there is growing concern from both parties that Trump's new idea will do more harm

than good.

But not a fixer who's going to turn this here.

It's unfortunate that Republicans have decided that they would rather force TSA agents to

work without pay and create chaos at airports throughout the land rather than get ICE agents

under control.

Our basic premise.

Julie is joining us now from Fort Lauderdale Airport where we see some of the lines behind

you, Julie.

And people may be wondering why Congress doesn't seem to have a lot of urgency around

trying to end this Homeland Security shutdown.

Yeah, absolutely.

Look, I fly into this airport often to visit family.

I don't remember seeing it like this.

Now I'm told, Democrats in the White House are moving in the right direction in terms

of negotiations.

But one senator telling me, Hally, why should they get to fly home when Americans are dealing

with lines like these?

Hally?

Right in the middle of spring break travel season, Julie Serkin, thank you.

To the Middle East now, and President Trump's deadline approaching after his new threat

to Iran, saying the U.S. will obliterate key energy sites if the Strait of Hormuz is

not reopened.

Matt Bradley reports from Tel Aviv.

This was a direct hit.

Not far from Israel's main nuclear reactor showing Iran can keep raining missiles across

Israel and the Middle East.

All while maintaining, they're almost total blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump told the Iranians last night they have 48 hours to unblock the Strait

or he would obliterate their power plants.

Iran replied that all energy facilities belonging to the United States will be targeted

in response.

Only a day earlier, Trump said he was considering winding down his war against Iran.

Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Besant spoke to NBC News' Christian Wilker.

Just to put a fine point on this, though, is the president in the process of winding

down this war or escalating conflict?

Again, they're not mutually exclusive.

Sometimes you have to escalate to de-escalate.

There were no reported deaths from Iranian missiles in southern Israel, but Israeli

health officials said at least 180 people were injured, like in this apartment complex

in Iraq.

All of this damage was caused by just one Iranian ballistic missile that managed to

evade Israel's formidable air defenses.

It was just one impact in a weekend that was uniquely violent for Israelis.

It was a very shocking boom.

Israeli opposition leader Yehra Lapid said the attacks are proof Iran deliberately target

civilians.

Did you see any military sites or facilities around you?

What they're doing is trying to kill as many civilians as possible.

Iranian state TV said the military intended the attacks on southern Israel to hit Israel's

nearby nuclear research facility and reactor.

Retaliation had said for Israeli strikes on its in a town's nuclear facility on Saturday.

At least 15 people were also injured in Tel Aviv by debris falling from intercepted missiles.

And in southern Lebanon, Israel is blowing up this bridge, it's said to keep Hezbollah

operatives from moving south.

Can Israelis still have faith in the anti-air defense that Israel is putting up here?

Well, we've had great success so far, over 92%, over 92% interception rate.

But even the best defense in the world is not perfect, but the best defense is making

sure they can't fire these missiles anymore.

Matt is joining us now from Tel Aviv and Matt, the Iranian military says it is ready to

keep the straight of Hormuz closed for a while if it has to, right?

That's right, Halley.

The President Trump follows through on his threat to attack those Iranian power stations.

The Iranians say they'll keep the straight of Hormuz shut until those power stations are

rebuilt.

Matt Bradley, thank you.

And tonight new numbers are coming in right now in a snapshot of the oil markets with

concerns about gas prices spiking.

Brian Chung is monitoring all of it for us tonight, so Brian, what are we seeing?

Halley, things have been moving in just the last few minutes.

Pre-market trading saw oil prices rise, then dropped suggesting another day of rocky action

tomorrow.

Now this comes after we already headed into the weekend on a fourth straight week of

losses on the stock market.

We're hitting all time highs in January, the war now has the S&P 500 down 5% since

New Year's.

This is prices that the pump continued to creep towards a national average of $4 a gallon.

Hire prices are also hitting air travel with United CEO warning it's cutting some flights

to get around rising jet fuel costs.

Now asked about the hit to businesses and consumers, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, also

Kristen Walker today that higher prices should be, quote, temporary, but with attacks on

key facilities in the region potentially taking years to fix analysts are warning there

could be longer term impacts.

Halley.

Much to watch Brian Chung, thank you.

In Hawaii, historic flooding is putting thousands at risk after the most rain in nearly a generation

is prompting mass rescues and evacuations with the threat not over yet.

Steve Patterson is there.

Tonight, raging flood waters sweeping over roads, swelling rivers, destroying home

homes.

A day's long day loose, drenching entire communities in Hawaii.

He was beating on my window at 11, all I heard was gammie, gammie wake up and it scared

me to death.

On a Wahoo, North Shore resident Sherry Hodge says she woke up late Thursday night to the

sound of her grandson Raiden frantically pounding on her door.

You can see Raiden in this video, the 18 year old helping rescue a man and his dog

hanging on for dear life and chest deep flood waters.

He says in all, he and his crew rescued about 60 people.

People were on their roofs yelling for help and we came together and we loaded that man

and made sure everybody was safe.

It was crazy.

First responders rescuing more than 200 people during the disaster, but neighbors like Sherry

are angry, saying warning sirens and phone alerts came too late.

I'm pissed.

I'm upset over that.

The storm causing a Wahoo's worst flooding in more than 20 years.

Actor Jason Momoa said he had to evacuate from a family home.

I'm hoping everyone's safe.

We're getting out and get together and figure out how we helping up everyone.

And everyone is stepping up.

With evacuation orders finally lifting here, locals are helping clean up.

And this is what community is here in Hawaii, dozens of members of this town coming together

to clean up as much as they possibly can after this devastating flood left all this mud

in the debris behind.

Tonight Maui getting hit hard.

But here, the state's famed spirit of helping, known to native Hawaiians as its Kokua, remains

unbroken.

Steve is joining us now live from that disaster zone and Steve, folks in that state are

not out of the woods yet.

Howly, we are nowhere near out of the woods that cleanup will continue like this where

at least the next few days Maui getting hit with that next batch of rain, the governor,

estimating at least a billion dollars needed for recovery.

And anytime the ground is this saturated, we're talking about the possibility of mugs

that's very dangerous here.

Howly, nonstop work for folks there, Steve, thanks.

So just learning tonight that dozens of people have been affected by the extreme heat at

an air show in Glendale, Arizona, part of that brutal heat wave in the West, the fire

department, telling our station there, at least 30 people had to be taken to the

hospital, more than 9 million people are under heat alerts throughout the Southwest.

To the hockey community, shaken after the death of an NHL reporter and her three young children,

apparently in a house fire in Minnesota, with new tributes from colleagues and loved

ones tonight.

A devastating scene outside Minneapolis, after a house fire here with four people found

dead inside, NHL reporter Jesse Pierce and her three young children.

People say neighbors called 911 early Saturday morning when they saw flames coming out of

the roof.

The fire chief saying our hearts ache for all those involved in this tragedy, neighbors

in shock.

They're good kids, well, no, it's sad.

Pierce, who was 37, covered the Minnesota wild for more than a decade of fixture at games

with the team calling her a dedicated ambassador for the game of hockey and a kind, compassionate

person that cared deeply about her family and those around her.

Hello, good morning.

She also hosted a hockey podcast and contributed to NHL.com, which said Pierce's lifelong dream

was to become a hockey writer, remembering her as an absolute joy, occasionally bringing

her kids to practice as a young mom, the NHL sending prayers and deepest condolences to

Pierce's loved ones.

It's still not clear what caused that house fire, but officials are looking into it.

Next into us tonight, a tour bus crash in Wisconsin with more than 50 people on board.

This was the scene earlier this afternoon.

Early reports from emergency services suggest about 15 to 20 people were hurt, but that

their injuries were not life-threatening.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

Also tonight, the Guthrie family, asking people not to forget the case of Nancy Guthrie

and thanking Tucson for their support, seven agonizing weeks after the disappearance of

Savannah's mother, Dana Griffin reports.

Seven agonizing weeks in Savannah's mom, Nancy Guthrie, was taken in the middle of the

night from her Tucson home.

Savannah posting today, I believe, a nod to her family's call for renewed attention

in the puzzling case, pleading with Nancy's Tucson neighbors to please consult camera footage,

journal notes, text messages, observations, or conversations that in retrospect may hold

significance, no detail is too small.

The statement airing exclusively in a special report on Nancy's disappearance by our NBC

affiliate, Caveo Way News for Tucson.

We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends, and the people of Tucson.

The family adding, we hope people search their memories, especially around the key timelines

of January 31st and the early morning hours of February 1st, as well as the late evening

of January 11th.

Please be the light.

This investigation has amassed at least 40,000 leads.

The biggest clue so far, this chilling video showing an armed masked man at Nancy's home

the night she was abducted.

And there were some concerns with what they were seeing at the scene.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has told NBC News they're constantly analyzing evidence.

As the family waits for answers, yellow flowers and ribbons dot the desert community, a show

of support amid an unthinkable darkness.

Savannah and her family saying that without answers, we cannot grieve.

We can only ache and wonder.

We want to celebrate her beautiful and courageous life, but we cannot do that until she is brought

to a final place of rest.

Someone in the Southern Arizona community may hold the key that finally brings Nancy home.

Dana Griffin in NBC News.

All of us thinking about Savannah and her family tonight.

If you have any information, the FBI tip line number is 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Still ahead for us tonight.

releasing video of a woman jumping on the hood of a car, and then attacking the pregnant

driver.

She's also accused of going after an elderly person nearby.

And in this police body cam video, you can see the suspect biting the officer.

Our team has reached out to her attorney, but have not yet heard back.

It's not clear what triggered all of this in the first place.

Also tonight a potential break in the investigation into the death of a Chicago college student, shot

and killed while out with friends.

Valerie Castro has more on the person of interest now in police custody.

Tonight in Chicago, police revealing a person of interest is now being questioned in connection

with the death of Sheridan Gorman, a Loyola University freshman.

Gorman was shot and killed early Thursday, just minutes from the Chicago campus at a beach

along Lake Michigan, the death, a shock to the close knit campus community.

In denial, I don't feel like it's real.

In a statement her family says the 18 year old was out with friends around 130 in the morning

near this pier, hoping to catch a glimpse of the northern lights when police say the

group was approached by a masked man.

The man fired a single shot and Sheridan died at the scene according to authorities.

She was doing something entirely normal.

Her family writing, walking with friends close to home in an area where she had every

reason to feel safe, adding our daughter's life was not expendable.

She should still be here friends, placing flowers in the area where she died to commemorate

her life.

I remember her just as a very, very kind person.

She made sure everyone felt special, felt heard, felt understood, like that's who she was.

Tonight a community left shattered and a family asking why, Valerie Castro and BC News.

We are back in a moment with the surprise in the sky that rattled Houston and ripped

through the roof of this woman's house, that's next.

A story that sounds made up, but it is the real deal according to a woman who says she's

dealing with the aftermath of a meteor crash landing into her house.

Jesse Kirsch explains.

From this highway to the baseball diamond Houston is having a stellar weekend, turns out

the commotion was caused by a meteor streaking across the sky Saturday afternoon.

NASA says the fireball was three feet wide, weighed about a ton and flew at 35,000 miles

per hour.

Sherry James says she heard a loud boom and found this chunk of rock in her daughter's

bedroom.

Is that a meteor?

I was scared.

I didn't know what it was.

James says the roughly baseball sized rock ripped through her roof, then the attic before

bouncing off the floor.

She called the fire department, which came to check it out.

When you look at this piece of rock, it immediately looks like it's from outer space.

It just looked like a rock and no rocks got no business falling out the sky and there's

the immediate.

Now James will need to fix up her roof, but she says that's okay.

It's the one and lifetime kind of thing, so I've been, you know, I figured I probably

had better chance with the lottery than a meteorite coming to my house, but the meteor

came first, so.

Perhaps the lottery's coming next to help her pay for the roof repair.

Jesse Kirsch NBC News.

When we come back, there is good news tonight about the coach inspiring kids on and off the

court.

I want to have spirit.

I want to win this game and poke.

There is good news tonight about the love of the game and putting in the hard work on

the hardwood.

His scruggs sets the tone for the basketball team he coaches.

He motivates, he teaches, and he inspires doing it all without the ability to see.

I got hit with so many basketball bars in my face, I lost count, but I never stopped.

I never stopped.

When he was 14, Des was diagnosed with a rare condition that left him legally blind.

I went home, put my jersey on the bed and just cried for hours.

But losing his vision couldn't keep him off the court.

It told me I couldn't play.

I still did it.

That determination, taking him from star player to star coach for the Pleasant Hill Middle

School Panthers in Cincinnati.

These are three words of the day.

You got to be focused.

All right.

Be intentional.

Be dedicated to what you're doing, where he leads by example.

How fun, bro?

How is just a game?

All right.

Don't take it too serious.

He takes faith in you, and if you're not confident in yourself, he still wants you to

shoot.

So I think he believes in us a lot.

And now he's teaching the next generation that same determination that kept him in the

game.

I can make that shot.

You can make that shot.

If I can run this sprint, you can run that sprint.

They told me to quit.

They told me I couldn't and they told me I can't still here.

I'm living proof.

I'm living flesh.

And that kind of grit.

Win or me win or three?

One, two, three.

Clear to everyone.

We may have different obstacles.

We have to face in life.

We may have different things we have to do to get over those obstacles, but we're all

the same.

An example for all of us.

That's Nightly News for this Sunday.

Stick around.
