President Trump is welcoming U.S. oil executives at the White House today to discuss next steps involving Venezuela's oil infrastructure. Trump said Venezuela has been working with the U.S., and a decision will be made soon on which oil companies will take part in the project. The meeting comes after the U.S. military captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Trump said getting drilling back underway in Venezuela will benefit both countries.        More protests against ICE are underway today after the deadly shooting of a 37-year-old woman by an ICE agent Wednesday. The feds have claimed the victim was attempting to harm the agent with her vehicle, but Democrat leaders in the state say the video they've seen disputes that. Meanwhile in Portland, Oregon, Homeland Security claims agents were attempting a traffic stop on an alleged Venezuelan gang member when the driver tried to run over an agent and shots were fired. Two people were sent to the hospital.        The Supreme Court hasn't yet issued a ruling on the legality of President Trump's global tariffs. The justices heard the case in early November and could have issued a ruling as early as today. After the hearing, Trump says the Supreme Court tariffs case is "life or death for our county." The court's decision could have massive implications for American consumers and businesses, the economy and presidential authority.        Five blue states are suing the White House over frozen child care funding. The freeze would cut the states off to over ten-billion-dollars in federal money that's meant to support low-income families. The Trump administration said it was put in place due to fraud in the child care system. Attorneys General from New York, California, Illinois, Minnesota and Colorado asked a court to stop the freeze from being implemented and argued the move was unconstitutional.        A judge says jury selection in the federal trial of Luigi Mangione could start in September. The accused United Healthcare CEO killer was in a Manhattan courtroom Friday, where the judge set a tentative date of September 8th to start choosing jurors. The judge said she'll consider whether to dismiss one count of murder through use of a firearm, which carries a possible death sentence, and a firearms charge. Mangione's attorneys want both counts tossed out. Mangione is accused of assassinating CEO Brian Thompson in December of 2024 on a Midtown Manhattan street.        "Black Mirror" is coming back for an eighth season.
