The troops are supporting U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents. The unit deployed in early October and will serve at the border for a year.

(AP) \u2014 A longtime lawmaker has been chosen to head an advisory board developing guidelines for in-state investments from North Dakota\u2019s voter-approved oil tax savings account. Fessenden Republican Sen. Jerry Klein was elected chairman Wednesday of the newly reconfigured Legacy and Budget Stabilization Fund Advisory Board. GOP Rep. Keith Kempenich had led the board for nearly a decade.

Kempenich and Klein say implementing the legislation is complex and takes time.<\/p>\n MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Prosecutors building their case against a suburban Minneapolis police officer who killed Black motorist Daunte Wright repeatedly played body-camera video of the fatal shooting.

Her attorney says she made a mistake, but was acting to protect a fellow officer. Earlier, prosecutors told jurors that Potter violated her training and \u201cbetrayed a 20-year-old kid\u201d when she fatally shot Wright while she and other officers were trying to arrest him. They say Potter had undergone extensive training that warned about such a mix-up.<\/p>\n In sports<\/p>\n The Vikings scored 41 points off turnovers en route to a 107-63 win over the Bengals.
