Protesters are hitting the streets again in Minneapolis after after an ICE agent shot and killed a woman yesterday. After the shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the woman refused commands to get out of her vehicle, and tried to harm the officer with the car. Minnesota officials have pushed back with Governor Tim Walz telling people to not believe Noem's account of what he said was part of a "propaganda machine."        Police in Utah are searching for the person who killed two people and injured six others outside a church. Officials say a funeral was taking place at an LDS church in Salt Lake City Wednesday when an altercation broke out in the parking lot and shots were fired at a group of people. Of those injured, three are in critical condition.        The U.S. is being withdrawn from dozens of international treaties by President Trump. In a memorandum Wednesday, Trump said the U.S. has been pulled from 66 international organizations and treaties, including the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Trump said it was "contrary to the interests" of the U.S.        Nine Republicans have sided with Democrats to set up a House vote on extending federal health care subsidies. Wednesday's procedural vote passed by a slim majority, setting up another vote today on passing a three-year extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies that expired on December 31st. The extension could get bipartisan support in the House but is expected to fall short in the Senate.        A hundred people are reported to have been killed in Saturday's U.S. operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. A large number of the dead include Maduro's security team and some 32 members of the Cuban military and intelligence services working in the country. Maduro's wife, Cilia Flores, who was also captured, reportedly sustained a head injury in the raid.        The Trae Young era in Atlanta is over. ESPN reports the Hawks traded the four-time All-Star to the Wizards in exchange for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert. The 27-year-old spent eight seasons in the Peach State and averaged more than 25 points and nearly 10 assists per game since entering the league in 2018.
