Iowa building collapse - Trump birthright citizenship pledge - AI warning letter

1. Summary
   The official response of Davenport, Iowa, to a building collapse has led to local controversy. Part of the six-story apartment building collapsed on Sunday evening, for reasons that are not yet known. The rest of the structure's integrity is rapidly degrading. It was built in 1907.
   
   On Monday officials called off the rescue operation, saying there were no indications of anyone left alive, and prepared to demolish the building. Hours before the demolition, a ninth person was rescued from an upper floor. The demolition was postponed. On Tuesday police revised their assessment, saying five people remained unaccounted for.
   
   Hundreds protested near the building on Tuesday morning, urging another search. Some included family members of two people believed to be inside the building. Later that day, city officials conducted another sweep of parts of the building that presented "an acceptable risk," retrieving no one. Fire Marshal Jim Morris, his voice breaking at a news conference, said rescuers cannot go into the debris without destabilizing the whole building.
