The Pentagon is awaiting potential orders to send about 15-hundred troops to Minnesota. It comes as anti-ICE protests continue in the state after the deadly shooting of Renee Good by an agent. President Trump has said he may invoke the Insurrection Act as a result of the unrest, however on Friday, he said he may not use it any more.        President Trump isn't ruling out using force in efforts to acquire Greenland. In a phone interview with NBC News, Trump was asked if the U.S. would use force to seize the Danish territory, to which he said "no comment." Over the weekend, the President said he would put ten-percent tariffs in place on Denmark and other European countries until a deal was reached for the U.S. to get Greenland.        The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments this week on whether states have the right to ban guns on private property that's open to the public. At the center of Tuesday's case is a Hawaii law that does just that, unless a gun owner has specific permission from the property owner. Similar laws are in effect in California, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey.        Three high-ranking Catholic cardinals are pushing back on the United States' foreign policy. The archbishops of Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Newark, N.J. issued a joint statement reiterating Pope Leo's remarks to the Vatican calling for a return to "a diplomacy that promotes dialogue." The cardinals argued against peace being "sought through weapons as a condition for asserting one's own dominion."        A new option will be available for travelers without a state issued REAL ID. TSA ConfirmID will roll out an optional process on February 1st seeking "biographic and/or biometric information" to confirm a traveler's identity and that they are not on a Secure Flight watch list. The agency recommends completing the optional TSA ConfirmID process before arriving at the airport and there will be a 45-dollar fee meant "to cover verification of an insufficient ID."        A national champion will be crowned tonight in Miami. The top-ranked Indiana Hoosiers are set to face off against the Miami Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium. President Trump is scheduled to attend the game, which is set to kickoff at 7:30 Eastern.
