Minneapolis Protests Escalate

Around 1,500 US soldiers are on standby for possible deployment to Minneapolis amid ongoing anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demonstrations. The soldiers, currently in Alaska, are part of the 11th Airborne Division and could be deployed if the US president decides to use active duty military personnel. The demonstrations follow the death of US citizen Renee Good, who was shot by an ICE agent earlier this month. Minnesota officials have urged protesters to remain peaceful, and a US federal judge has issued an order limiting the crowd control tactics that can be used by ICE agents. The state's National Guard has been mobilized and placed on alert.

A Minneapolis family of eight, including six children, was tear gassed in their car while trying to leave their son's basketball game. The family was caught between protesters and federal agents, and the mother had to administer CPR to her infant after the tear gas caused breathing difficulties. The incident occurred amid heightened tensions in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of a mother by an ICE agent earlier in the month. The family was eventually helped by bystanders who pulled them into a nearby home, and the infant received treatment for his condition.

A video has surfaced showing a woman being dragged from her car by an ICE agent in Minneapolis as she shouted that she was disabled. The incident occurred near the location where Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent earlier this month. The article also touches on other news stories related to ICE operations and the Trump administration's policies, including protests in Denmark against Trump's threats to impose tariffs on European countries unless a deal is reached for the US to purchase Greenland. Additionally, the article mentions other incidents involving ICE agents, including a Border Patrol agent questioning a man's citizenship based on his accent and the Justice Department investigating Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over possible obstruction of federal law enforcement.

The Pentagon has ordered 1,500 active-duty US soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota amid widespread protests against the government's deportation drive. The move comes after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good on January 7, sparking tensions in Minneapolis. President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy military forces if state officials fail to stop protesters from targeting immigration officials. The soldiers are assigned to two US Army infantry battalions under the 11th Airborne Division based in Alaska.

The Minnesota National Guard is on standby to assist local law enforcement amid escalating anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis. The Guard revealed they will wear neon yellow safety vests to distinguish themselves if deployed. The unrest began after a protester was shot by an ICE agent on January 7, triggering violent clashes between demonstrators and immigration officers. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz mobilized the Guard to support public safety, but they have not yet been deployed to city streets. President Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy military forces if lawmakers don't help stem the anarchy.

Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by ICE agents after she allegedly refused to comply with their instructions. The incident is being investigated by the DOJ.
