Trump's immigration enforcement surge continues to rock Minnesota, just a week after the ICE shooting of Renee Good, a mother of three and U.S. citizen in Minneapolis. The Minnesota Star Tribune reports that the number of federal agents now in Minneapolis and Saint Paul outstrips the 10 largest Twin Cities metro police departments combined. "We don't want ICE in our neighborhoods. They are violent, they are creating chaos and terrorizing our immigrant neighbors, and they are not keeping anyone safe," says vice president of the Saint Paul City Council, Hwa Jeong Kim, who comments on the city's new lawsuit against the Trump administration, the loss of temporary protected status for thousands of Somali immigrants in the United States, plans for a general strike in Minneapolis and more.

Reporter Ken Klippenstein's latest investigation into the inner workings of the Trump regime finds that immigration enforcement agencies ICE and Border Patrol have relaxed recruitment and deployment guidelines in an effort to fill the administration's sweeping deportation goals. "There's splits within the agency about the shooting [of Renee Good] and the general mission," says Klippenstein, whose reporting is based on leaked documents and interviews with officials from the Department of Homeland Security. Because "they're worried about sending more experienced agents there who might not agree with the mission," he explains, DHS is heavily recruiting volunteers with little vetting or training to carry out its deportation mandate. "They have more money than they know what to do with, and they need to fill those roles, and they're doing everything they can to create them so that the actual personnel head count can match the resources that they now have."

U.S. forces have seized two more oil tankers with links to Venezuela, days after the U.S. attacked Venezuela and abducted President Nicolás Maduro along with his wife, making former Vice President Delcy Rodríguez the new leader of the country. "This is a decapitation without regime change," says Venezuelan economist Francisco Rodríguez. "The political system in Venezuela remains intact." In Caracas, former Venezuelan diplomat Carlos Ron says Maduro is a "prisoner of war" and that Venezuelans "are angry and are upset about this incursion from the United States." This comes as the Trump administration has announced plans to control sales of Venezuela's oil "indefinitely."
