Large protests spread across US cities on Saturday – including Minneapolis, New York City, San Francisco, Boston and Providence, Rhode Island – after 37-year-old Alex Pretti, a registered nurse living in Minneapolis, was shot dead by federal agents.

The wave of demonstrations come just one day after thousands marched through the streets of Minneapolis to protest against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Protesters again braved the extreme cold to speak out against the agency and show support for Pretti and others who have been harmed by the surge of immigration agents who have flooded the city in recent week.

Thousands more rallied in Union Square in New York City, with footage showing demonstrators shouting: “Say it once, say it twice, we will not put up with ICE!”

A harrowing cartoon by Peter de Wit depicts parents sunbathing on an idyllic beach in Gaza, while their toddler blissfully digs up skulls in the sand.

De Wit’s “Gaza Beach 2030” won the award for best political cartoon in the Netherlands last year.

Now, a plan unveiled by US President Donald Trump's son-in-law might just bring such a dystopian image to reality.

Jared Kushner, who serves as a US special envoy, announced plans for a “New Gaza” - complete with shiny skyscrapers, coastal tourist attractions and entire districts dedicated to business and commerce.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Kushner told global leaders that the Palestinian enclave would be run under “free market economy principles”.

He said these would seek to mirror the “same mindset and same approach” as Trump’s America.

Videos analyzed by The New York Times appear to contradict federal accounts of the shooting. The man, an I.C.U. nurse, was an American citizen with no criminal record, the city police chief said.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office said it had joined Minnesota state officials in filing a federal lawsuit on Saturday night “seeking to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.” The text of the lawsuit was not immediately available.

John Mitnick, who once was the head attorney at the Department of Homeland Security in the first Trump administration, criticized his former agency on Saturday night. “I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty,” he wrote on social media.

Funderful tested the new recompilation PC port and decided to do a 100% No-FFM run.

It's the first 100% run done, so technically it's a world record for the brand new category "100% No-FFM (PC Port)" 😄

Weapons continue to flow from Libya to Sudan despite Saudi and Egyptian pressure on Khalifa Haftar to stop Emirati military support to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Middle East Eye has learned.

Earlier this week, MEE reported that the eastern Libya commander is coming under growing pressure from Cairo and Riyadh, which have warned that continued assistance could trigger a serious shift in Egypt’s relationship with him.

Saddam Haftar, Khalifa’s son and deputy commander of his self-styled Libyan Arab Armed Forces (LAAF), was “summoned” to Cairo earlier this month for a dressing-down, during which he was told to immediately end support for RSF, according to Egyptian sources.
