Protesters are squaring off with ICE agents again today at a federal building in the Minneapolis area. It appears at least one person has been arrested as protests continue following the deadly shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent last week. Today's clashes are reported outside the same ICE facility where federal agents using tear gas on protesters yesterday.        President Trump says countries that don't support the U.S. acquiring Greenland could face new tariffs. Speaking at a round table at the White House, Trump said he may have to put the duties in place because the U.S. needs Greenland for national security. The President made the remark when talking about how his threat of tariffs worked to secure "most favored nation" drug prices.        A Utah judge will hear arguments today in the Charlie Kirk assassination case on whether prosecutors should be disqualified because of a conflict of interest. Lawyers for Tyler Robinson, the man accused of shooting the conservative personality at a rally in September, say a key prosecutor has a family member who was present at the time Kirk was shot. They argue that raises concerns over impartiality in decision to seek the death penalty.        Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado says she's confident her country will soon transition to a stable democracy. Speaking today at a forum, Machado also predicted her country will be the best ally the United States has. Machado met President Trump at the White House yesterday and presented her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to Trump in appreciation for deposing Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.        The first round of the Australian Open is set to begin on Sunday. Second-seeded Jannik Sinner will be looking for his third straight grand slam title in Melbourne after claiming the crown in 2024 and 2025. Carlos Alcaraz enters as the top-seed as he continues his search for his first Australian Open title. On the women's side, American Madison Keys will be aiming for her second straight Australian Open crown while entering as the ninth-seed.        "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" is off to a good start at the box office. The follow-up to June's "28 Years Later" made two-point-one-million-dollars from Thursday previews last night. It's expected to bring 20 to 22-million over the four day Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. The movie will fight for first place with "Avatar: Fire & Ash", which is looking to make between 18 and 19-million in its fifth week of release.
