Wednesday night (Day 44) an ICE agent shot another person in Minneapolis, injuring him after attempting to arrest him. Immediately after the incident neighbors and community members turned up in the street to confront ICE and halt their work. Agents left behind equipment and a vehicle that protesters quickly ran through. More on that below.

The following morning, Trump took to Truth Social to threaten invoking the Insurrection Act to quell protests in the state, which would allow for the deployment of military in Minnesota. On Friday he walked this back somewhat.

Welcome to the community for independent journalism, a place to post and engage with diverse, free news media from around the world.

The rundown:

Posts should link to a current* article from a credible, independent news source. If there's a paywall, please put the official link in the URL box and add an archive link in the text body of your post. Blogs, editorials, listicles and reports are welcome.
Post title should be the article headline or best fit. Add this tag if an account is needed for access: [sign-in required.]
No misinformation. Provide sources when making substantial or potentially destructive claims.
Be civil. Be respectful. Be cool. Instance rules apply.
Tag NSFW and apply content warnings at your discretion.

*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests and is not controlled by a major media conglomerate. "Independence" is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting.

*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt please add the published date to the title in a tag [like this.]
