"President Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota to stop protests in Minneapolis. On Wednesday, immigration officers shot an immigrant man in the leg, sparking unrest on the city's north side. There are as many as 3,000 federal immigration officers on the ground or expected to arrive soon in the Twin Cities, NPR's Meg Anderson tells Up First."
"Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado came to Washington, D.C., to meet with Trump for the first time and presented him with her Nobel Peace Prize. She is pushing to remain part of Venezuela's future after the U.S. military operation that resulted in the seizure of Nicolas Maduro. Trump has sidelined Machado and is backing Venezuela's acting president. After Maduro's capture, Trump shockingly said he was not backing Machado for president because she didn't have the support or respect within her country."
President Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota to stop protests in Minneapolis. Immigration officers shot an immigrant man in the leg, sparking unrest on the city's north side. Up to 3,000 federal immigration officers are on the ground or expected in the Twin Cities. Community members follow immigration agents, filming and making noise as peaceful, constitutionally protected resistance. ICE has used tear gas, flash bangs and pepper balls to disperse crowds. Some residents, including an asylum seeker identified only as A, fear leaving home and worry about their families' futures. Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado met with President Trump in Washington, presented a Nobel Peace Prize, seeks a role after a U.S. operation seized Nicolas Maduro, and has been sidelined by Trump who backs Venezuela's acting president despite polls showing substantial support for Machado and beliefs that her party won the disputed 2024 election.
