Woonsocket Radio News Room
Over 40 people are dead after intense storms swept through the south and midwest over the weekend. States are working to recover from damage left behind by wildfires, rain, tornadoes and dust storms. Reports say the majority of deaths occurred in Missouri, where at least 12 were killed. 
Wall Street is closing in the green on St. Patrick's Day. Stocks continued their comeback with the major averages building on Friday's rally. At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 353 points to 41-841. The S&P 500 added 36 points to 56-75. The Nasdaq rose 54 points to 17-808. The White House is set to have a showdown with a federal judge. It centers around allegations the Trump administration defied his order that blocked the deportation of Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. It takes place at 5 p.m. eastern. A professor at Brown University, who was deported to Lebanon despite having a valid visa, allegedly told authorities she attended the funeral of a Hezbollah leader. That's what the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement on Monday. According to a court petition filed by her cousin, Dr. Rasha Alawieh returned to the U.S. after visiting family in Lebanon and was detained Thursday at Boston's Logan International Airport. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is postponing his book tour after a backlash within his own party. This after the New York lawmaker voted to advance a House Republican-led funding package. A spokesperson for his tour said it would be rescheduled over "security concerns." The field for the NCAA men's basketball tournament is set. Auburn took the number-one overall seed, with Duke, Houston, and Florida the other three. Tournament action will begin with the First Four matchups on Tuesday and Wednesday, with a champion crowned on April 7th.
