Good morning, NBC News readers.
"Instigators": That's how U.S. Customs and Border Protection labeled dozens of American reporters, attorneys and activists targeted to be stopped for questioning at the border.
Here's more on that exclusive and what else we're watching today.

Customs and Border Protection has compiled a list of 59 reporters, attorneys and activists for border agents to stop for questioning when they cross the U.S.-Mexican border at San Diego-area checkpoints.
Several people on the list told NBC News that they had been pulled aside at the border and told they were being questioned as part of a "national security investigation."
CBP told NBC News the names on the list are people who were present during violence that broke out at the border with Tijuana in November and they were being questioned so that the agency could learn more about what started it.
Immigration lawyers say the practice is starting to scare people away.

The most explosive example has been the split on a response to freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar's controversial comments on Israel policy.
It is just one example of the divisions that have been on public display.
