- A Venezuelan man was shot in the leg by an ICE agent during an arrest in Minneapolis, prompting hours of confrontations that authorities say included fireworks fired at officers.
- Trump warned on Truth Social that he would invoke the Insurrection Act to send the military if Minnesota leaders do not curb attacks on ICE; the statute has not been used since 1992 and has not been invoked in this case.
- Minneapolis and the State of Minnesota have filed lawsuits challenging large-scale federal immigration operations, as hundreds more agents arrived on top of roughly 2,000 already deployed.
- Attorneys for Renee Nicole Good’s family launched a civil inquiry into her January 7 killing, while local officials question the neutrality of the federal probe.
- Mexico demanded U.S. explanations after a Mexican national died in ICE custody in Georgia, and recent polls show most Americans view Good’s killing as unjustified and doubt a fair federal investigation.
