Protests Over ICE Shooting Swell, Iran Toll Rises as U.S. Reviews Military Options

Escalating public pressure tests trust in the Minneapolis probe and U.S. choices on Iran.

Overview

  • Tens of thousands marched in Minneapolis and other U.S. cities calling for ICE to leave or be abolished after the fatal Jan. 7 shooting of Rene Nicole Good by an ICE agent.
  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey urged the FBI to include Minnesota state authorities in what he called a fair investigation, alleging the current federal probe appears to exclude them.
  • A 47‑second clip published by conservative media shows moments before the gunfire, and Vice President Vance reposted it asserting self‑defense, though it remains unverified whether the car struck agents.
  • Rights groups and diplomatic sources report sharply rising deaths in Iran’s nationwide demonstrations, with figures ranging from more than 110 to over 190 and claims that 150 bodies reached Tehran hospitals in a day.
  • Participants described snipers and live fire by security forces and reported internet restrictions, while President Trump was briefed on strike options, including targets tied to Iranian security organs and non‑military sites, with no decision announced.
