Trump threatens to invoke Insurrection Act amid Minneapolis ICE shooting protests

The federal officers arrived weeks ago. But since the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, their numbers have swelled — and people here say the weight of it all is inescapable. Federal officers are flooding the sidewalks of their neighborhoods, honks and whistles sound when they are near and, occasionally, the smell of chemical agents wafts by. The scale, the sustained intensity and the aggression demonstrated by law enforcement deployed here appears to be greater than immigration enforcement operations that took place in other blue cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and Charlotte, North Carolina, all of which are larger than Minneapolis

Ukraine war latest: Russia has suffered 1.2 million casualties, thinktank says – and Moscow responds | World News

Casualties from both sides of the war could reach two million by spring this year, according to a thinktank. The Washington-based Centre for Strategic and International Studies says Russian forces have suffered nearly 1.2 million casualties – more than any major power since the Second World War – and have advanced at a slower rate than almost any major offensive campaign in any war of the past century. Moscow has waged a “highly destructive” air campaign on Ukrainian targets and has “been innovative in its use of drones, electronic warfare, and other facets of the fight”, the thinktank says. But

See extreme cold cause trees to seemingly ‘explode’ in videos

Jan. 27, 2026, 12:47 p.m. ET Bitterly cold arctic air has blanketed parts of the United States over the last week, with some areas getting snow and subzero temperatures. Along with the cold weather comes a natural event called frost cracks, which are the true culprit behind the viral “exploding trees” phenomenon flooding social media platforms. While it might look like trees are suddenly “exploding,” that’s not necessarily what’s happening. Frost cracks are the real reason behind trees breaking. The incidents are caused by a sudden drop in temperature and can cause branches to fall off, Bill McNee, a forest

Trump’s coup in Venezuela didn’t just break the rules – it showed there aren’t any. We’ll all regret that | Nesrine Malik

I never thought it possible that you could look back on the Iraq war, and the foreign invasions of the “war on terror” in general, and feel some measure of nostalgia. For a time when there were at least concerted attempts to justify unilateral interventions and illegal wars in the name of global security, and even a moral duty to liberate the women of Afghanistan or “free the Iraqi people”.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that any move by Canada to economically break from the United States would be “a disaster,” dismissing recent remarks by Prime Minister Mark Carney as unrealistic and historically misguided. “Canada depends on the U.S. There’s much more North-South trade than there could ever be East-West trade,” Bessent said Monday on “Hannity.”  “He [Carney] talks about middle countries having to do their own thing, and I’m old enough to remember when French President François Mitterrand tried to go down that route. It failed back in the ’80s, it’ll

Lawyers accuse Mexico of breaking law in sending cartel members to US without extradition order

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A group of lawyers and family members of important cartel figures accused Mexico’s government on Tuesday of breaking the law by sending nearly a hundred Mexican citizens to the United States without an extradition order. It comes less than a week after the administration of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum sent 37 detained cartel members to the U.S. in what observers have described as an offering by Mexican authorities to offset mounting threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to take military action against cartels. Since last February, Mexico has sent a total of 92 cartel members in
