“Trump sent thousands of armed federal officers into our state, and it took just one day for them to kill someone,” a protester said.

Thousands of people marched in Minneapolis on Saturday to protest the fatal shooting of a woman by a federal immigration officer there and the shooting of two people in Portland, Oregon. Minnesota leaders urged demonstrators to remain peaceful.

The protest was one of hundreds planned for towns and cities across the country over the weekend. It came in a city on edge since the killing of Renee Good on Wednesday by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.

“We’re all living in fear right now,” said Meghan Moore, a mother of two from Minneapolis who joined the protest. “ICE is creating an environment where nobody feels safe and that’s unacceptable.”

On Friday night, a protest outside a Minneapolis hotel that attracted about 1,000 people turned violent as demonstrators threw ice, snow and rocks at officers, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said. One officer suffered minor injuries after being struck with a piece of ice, O’Hara said. Twenty-nine people were cited and released, he said.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey stressed that while most protests have been peaceful, those who cause damage to property or put others in danger will be arrested. He faulted “agitators that are trying to rile up large crowds.”

“This is what Donald Trump wants,” Frey said of the president who has demanded massive immigration enforcement efforts in several U.S. cities. “He wants us to take the bait.”


Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz echoed the call for peace.

“Trump sent thousands of armed federal officers into our state, and it took just one day for them to kill someone,” Walz said on social media. “Now he wants nothing more than to see chaos distract from that horrific action. Don’t give him what he wants.”

“We will fight with peaceful expression, in court, through public debate, and at the ballot box. Keep the peace. And keep the faith,” Walz said later in another post.

Argentina’s President Javier Milei has reportedly frozen at the last minute the relocation of the country’s embassy from ‘Tel Aviv’ to the occupied al-Quds.

zion¿st Channel 12 reported that Milei, a devoted supporter of the occupying regime, took the decision after learning of the Israeli plan for oil drilling near the disputed Malvinas Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean, which are also known as the Falklands to the British.

Valued at $1.8 billion, the project is expected to begin in the coming weeks with the zionist company Navitas aiming to produce 32,000 barrels of oil per day.

Argentine officials warned that the drilling project could damage relations between Tel Aviv and Buenos Aires, which have improved under Milei’s presidency.

Milei has openly praised Israel’s acts of aggression, including the genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

He had earlier pledged to move Argentina’s embassy from Tel Aviv to the occupied al-Quds by 2026.

Milei’s pro‑Israel stance also includes deepening political and economic ties.

He used his $1 million Genesis Prize award to launch the so-called “Isaac Accords,” a framework intended to normalize relations between the Israeli regime and Latin American countries in areas including technology and education.

The Malvinas Islands are situated just over 480 kilometers from the Argentine coast in the South Atlantic Ocean. The UK has occupied the archipelago since 1833.

Argentina and the UK fought a 10-week war over the archipelago in April-June 1982, with the UK eventually prevailing with the help of its allies.

The Argentinean government has periodically stepped up efforts to regain control of the islands, home to an estimated 3,200 people from different countries.

In 2016, the two sides agreed to cooperate on issues such as energy and shipping despite disagreements about the islands’ sovereignty.

US-BACKED Kurdish factions in Aleppo say they fear US-BACKED Jolani’s HTS terrorists will massacre civilians if they withdraw, as government troops massacred Alawite civilians in the coastal areas of the country in March.

Internal Kurdish security forces in Aleppo have rejected demands to leave the Kurdish-majority neighborhoods of the Syrian city after government forces declared a temporary ceasefire overnight on 9 January.

The Ministry of Defense, under the leadership of former Al-Qaeda commander Murhaf Abu Qasra, issued a call for a temporary ceasefire amid ongoing clashes that started with a government assault on the Kurdish districts of Sheikh Maksoud and Ashrafiyah on Tuesday.

The ministry demanded that Kurdish fighters leave both neighborhoods by 9 am local time on Friday morning, the time scheduled for the ceasefire to end.

However, the Kurdish councils administering the neighborhoods rejected the demand, saying it was “a call to surrender,” while affirming that Kurdish fighters would instead “defend their neighborhoods.””The densely populated Sheikh Maqsood neighborhood in Aleppo is under intense and sustained shelling by factions and militias affiliated with the Damascus government, using tanks, artillery, and heavy weapons in a broad attack targeting residential areas,” a statement from Kurdish officials in Aleppo said.

“Government militias are attempting to advance with tanks, while our forces continue to confront the attacks with fierce and ongoing resistance,” the statement added.

Kurdish fighters fear that if they withdraw, government forces will massacre Kurdish civilians, as they massacred Alawite civilians in the coastal areas of the country in March and Druze civilians in Suwayda governorate in Syria’s south in July.

“The densely populated Sheikh Maqsood neighborhood in Aleppo is under intense and sustained shelling by factions and militias affiliated with the Damascus government, using tanks, artillery, and heavy weapons in a broad attack targeting residential areas,” a statement from Kurdish officials in Aleppo said.

“Government militias are attempting to advance with tanks, while our forces continue to confront the attacks with fierce and ongoing resistance,” the statement added.

The Cradle Media report

zion¿st colony is also holding 52 Palestinian women in prisons, where torture and sexual assault are common –

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office reported on 9 January that it has documented more than 600 cases of Palestinian children being detained by the zionist entity during 2025, including a child who died in prison.

A statement issued by the media office said that zionist occupation targets children with arrests, harsh interrogations, and long sentences to destroy “their future, distort their consciousness, and spread fear across society.”

The statement added that 350 children remain in Israeli prisons, including 155 who have been convicted and 90 who are being held without charge as administrative detainees.

Administrative detention lasts six months but can be renewed multiple times based on secret evidence. Some administrative detainees are held for many years.

zion¿st continues to block vital necessities, such as mobile homes, as the Palestinian enclave is hit by harsh weather conditions – AJ report.

Gaza’s civil defence agency said z¿onist attacks in the Palestinian territory on Thursday killed at least 13 people, including five children, despite a ceasefire that has largely halted the fighting.

Four people including three children were killed when a drone struck a tent sheltering displaced people in southern Gaza, agency spokesperson Mahmud Bassal told AFP.

In the north of the Gaza Strip, an 11-year-old girl was killed near the Jabalia refugee camp and a strike on a school killed one person, while a drone near Khan Younis in the south killed a man, the agency added.

Two more Palestinians in Gaza, including a child, were killed in other attacks, reported the agency, which operates under Hamas authority.

When asked by AFP, the occupation military said it was checking the reports.

Later on Thursday evening, four more people were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a house in an eastern area of Gaza City, Bassal said, adding that rescue work to search for several people who were missing had begun.

“The death toll has risen to 13 as a result of Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip since this morning in a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement,” he said.

Earlier on Thursday, the Israeli military said a projectile was launched “from the area of Gaza City toward the state of Israel” but that it fell within the Gaza Strip.

“Shortly after, the (military) precisely struck the launch point,” it said in a statement.

Since 10 October, a fragile US-sponsored truce in Gaza has largely halted the fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas, but both sides have alleged frequent ceasefire violations.

Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem told AFP that the strikes in Gaza on Thursday “confirm the zionist occupation’s renunciation of its commitment to the ceasefire”.

Occupation forces have killed at least 425 Palestinians in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect, according to Gaza’s health ministry.

At least 21 people were killed on 22 November in zionist strikes, making it one of the deadliest days in Gaza since the ceasefire came into effect.

The zionoist military said militants have killed three of its soldiers during the same period.

The Guardian report

The abduction of Maduro has shown up the weaknesses of the Venezuelan military.

For almost 27 years, the Venezuelan military – formally known as the National Bolivarian Armed Forces (FANB) – was a firm ally to presidents Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro, as they systematically drifted from seeking an alternative to Western liberal democracy, and towards authoritarianism.

Rodriguez’s acceptance among military ranks is the weightiest reason why the US president has trusted her – rather than opposition leader Maria Corina Machado – to lead the political transition in the country.

Failing to adapt and work with Trump and Rodriguez could invite a new US armed attack.

Al Jazeera report

It could be also argued that Mr. Arrogance himself has yet to overcome the feeling of jealousy at the face of vanquishing the Nobel Peace Prize to Machado.

When news of Maduro’s abduction broke early last Saturday, government opponents were euphoric, believing Venezuela was finally entering the “new era of American or Western democracy and reconstruction promised by the opposition leader María Corina Machado, the Nobel laureate they expected to lead that change. But those hopes were soon dashed as Trump announced he would recognise Rodríguez, one of Maduro’s closest allies, and work with the remnants of his regime to “stabilise” the country.

The greater majority of Venezuela will remember Machado for the treachery of begging the US and the zionist regime to invade and attack Venezuela so to bring about a regime change.

Machado publicly professed her loyalty to the zionist regime while the entire world has been denouncing its acts of genocide in the Palestinian territories.

This prestige-crushing act reframed her as persona non grata in Venezuela.

However, Trump most certainly would not choose the same regime following a laboriously achieved external coup.

Trump’s strategic pick will prevent an Iraqi style debacle as Rodríguez, the daughter of a Marxist [Marxism:Jew product] martyr, has the backing of the army.

Additionally, she is as submissive as Machado to American or Western dictates.

Though not very pleased, the majority in Venezuela is content with this outcome.

They will accustom themselves and adopt the status of becoming mighty America’s  colony.

Armed groups, foreign-backed elements and terrorist actors are orchestrating violence, arson attacks and assaults on public infrastructure.

Iranian security officials say more than 100 people have been arrested in several provinces in connection with recent riots, while senior officials cited foreign involvement, including the United States and Israel, for turning economic protests into violent disturbances.The source said the suspects had maintained contact with intermediaries linked to foreign intelligence services and had coordinated acts of vandalism and disruption.

The source added that confessions by those detained indicated plans to fabricate fatalities and accuse the Islamic Republic of killing young people, saying their goals went beyond peaceful protest and were aimed at creating instability to advance political objectives.

The source said arrests would continue until unrest ended and conditions returned to normal in North Khorasan.Authorities also reported extensive damage to emergency services. Tehran Fire Department chief Ghodratollah Mohammadi said that during two days of riots, 43 fire engines had been damaged and eight completely destroyed.

Mohammadi said firefighters were prevented from responding to emergency calls after rioters blocked vehicles, forced crews out, and vandalized fire engines. He said one fire station in Tehran had been attacked, damaged and looted.

He added that 15 fire engines were damaged in Isfahan and five in Ahvaz. Mohammadi said the loss of equipment, much of it imported with foreign currency, would be costly and time-consuming to replace.
