Anti-ICE protests are ramping up after two separate shootings involving federal agents this week. Protests have not stopped in Minneapolis since Wednesday's deadly shooting of a 37-year-old woman by an ICE agent. On the West Coast, Homeland Security says agents were attempting a traffic stop on an alleged Venezuelan gang member yesterday in Portland when the driver tried to run over an agent and shots were fired. The incident sent two people to the hospital.        The Supreme Court's highly anticipated ruling on the legality of President Trump's global tariffs will have to wait for another day. The justices heard the case in early November and could have issued a ruling as early as today, but that didn't happen. It's unclear when the next decisions from the high court will be released.        Another oil tanker in the waters near Venezuela has been seized by the U.S. It happened as the U.S. is monitors other ships that are trying to evade the blockade of sanctioned tankers traveling to and from the South American country. It's all a part of the Trump administration's plan to stop operations of Venezuela's so-called "dark fleet" of ships that attempt to conceal transporting oil that's sanctioned.        Luigi Mangione is back in a New York courtroom for a pivotal hearing. His lawyers are fighting to bar the government from seeking the death penalty if found guilty for the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. They are also trying to get key evidence blocked. Mangione is accused of assassinating Thompson in December of 2024 on a Midtown Manhattan street.        Iran's supreme leader says the protesters in his country are acting on behalf of President Trump. Ali Khamenei's [[ HAH-may-nee's ]] come as sometimes violent unrest grows over the ongoing economic crisis in the Islamic republic. A complete internet shutdown was imposed in Tehran shortly after calls for mass protests went out on Thursday. Trump has said the U.S. will intervene if protesters in Iran are killed.        The final spot in the College Football Playoff national championship will be determined tonight. Top-ranked Indiana battles fifth-seeded Oregon in the Semifinal Round at the Peach Bowl from Atlanta on Friday. The winner will play Miami in the national championship, after the Hurricanes beat Ole Miss last night.
