By Fiona Ortiz (Reuters) – Nashville police were searching on Tuesday for 17 teens still at large after 32 boys escaped from a detention center overnight, a spokesman said. At around 11 p.m. on Monday, some of the teens began pushing their way out of the dorms at the Woodland Hills Youth Development Center in Nashville, said Rob Johnson, director of communications for the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services. Johnson said room doors are not locked at the facility, which holds boys 14 to 18 years old.

Kristi Noem about the false claim in her book where she said she met with North Korea's dictator, Kim Jong Un.
