So with Democrats digging in ahead of this January 30th deadline, it looks like a government shutdown is becoming more and more likely.

Republicans, on the other hand, have increasingly begun raising concerns over this latest shooting.

They've called for a full and transparent investigation.

Some of the lawmakers include Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, North Carolina Senator Tom Tillis, James Comer, and other members of Congress.

Bill Cassidy, for example, called the shooting in Minneapolis incredibly disturbing and said that the credibility of ICE and the Department of Homeland Security is at stake.

The videos that are posted to social media have allowed people to see for themselves what happened and challenge how officials are describing the incident.

And that's a sentiment we're hearing with a lot of protesters who are out on the streets that they feel that the federal government had potentially lied about the shooting and took issue with them using terms like domestic terrorists to describe those who were killed.
