People are protesting on the streets in Minneapolis after an ICE agent shot and killed a woman yesterday. It happened in a neighborhood during an enforcement operation when a federal agent opened fire on American citizen Renee Nicole Good. After the shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the woman refused commands to get out of her vehicle, and tried to harm the officer with the car.        A manhunt has begun for the person who killed two people and injured six others outside a church in Utah. Police say a funeral was taking place at an LDS church in Salt Lake City Wednesday when an altercation broke out in the parking lot and shots were fired at a group of people. Of those injured, three are in critical condition.        The Senate is voting today on a resolution that would block President Trump from taking further action in Venezuela without congressional approval. The bipartisan war powers resolution is sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Virginia Democrat Tim Kaine, California Democrat Adam Schiff and Kentucky Republican Rand Paul.
