US anti-ICE protest
Tensions have once again erupted in Minneapolis as police clashed with protesters following the shooting of another unarmed civilian by immigration agents. Smoke and explosions were seen as police shot tear gas to disperse protesters. Demonstrators called for the expulsion of ICE agents from the State of Minnesota. The protest came after another person was shot in the leg by a federal law enforcement officer in north Minneapolis. The victim has been identified as a Venezuelan immigrant. The shooting took place one week after another US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman behind the wheel of her car in a residential neighborhood of Minneapolis during a major deportation operation ordered in the city by US President Donald Trump. Since the fatal shooting, the US has seen mass protests in multiple cities demanding that ICE leave those cities.
Calling for release of kidnapped president
Supporters of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro have held a large-scale demonstration calling for the immediate release of the country’s abducted leader and his wife. The rally was held in the capital Caracas and was organized by the workers’ unions. Protesters condemned Washington’s "interventionist policies." They called on international organizations to take action and end the kidnapping of Maduro and his wife that took place during a US operation on January 3. US officials have accused Maduro of overseeing a cocaine trafficking network linked to international cartels. Maduro has denied the charges, saying the US seeks to justify foreign control over Venezuela’s oil reserves. The US forces abducted Maduro in an operation on January 3.
