And its president said he had a duty to respond to what he called rioters, though he did acknowledge the economic pain currently being felt.

John Gambrell is the AP's news director for the Gulf and Iran.

He told us Iranians are feeling the impact of runaway inflation, which is tied to sanctions and ultimately to the regime.

Iran has seen mass protests before, but Gambrel told us the national security apparatus has put them down through the use of extreme violence.

And he said that the regime's leadership is unlikely to be moved by Trump's threats.

Last June, when U.S.

forces bombed Iranian nuclear sites as part of Israel's war with the country, the world watched on as fears of a wider regional war grew.

This time, Gamrell noted, Trump's unpredictability has left the Iranian leadership less certain what action he could take.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump will get a briefing tomorrow outlining a range of options in response to these demonstrations.

The fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent sparked massive nationwide protests over the weekend as politicians continued debating the circumstances of her death.

In Minneapolis, where Good was killed, tens of thousands of people took to the streets on Saturday to voice their opposition to ICE's presence in the city.

That's Kristen Crabtree speaking to The Washington Post at a demonstration on Saturday.

Meanwhile, arrests and confrontations in the city continued, some captured on video.

In one incident, federal agents rammed the door of a home, forcing their way in.

In this video shared by the Associated Press, the agents appear to break through the door, apprehend a man and lead him away handcuffed.

Shortly before the raid, the AP reported that demonstrators were pepper sprayed while confronting the agents.

And yet ICE presence in the city shows no signs of slowing.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Sunday pledged to send hundreds more officers to Minneapolis in response to protests and cited the recent welfare fraud scandals in the state.

In an interview on Fox News, she said the officers would be sent there to bolster security for ICE and Border Patrol agents that are currently in Minnesota.

With about 2,000 federal agents already deployed in Minneapolis, Noem says it's the largest operation in DHS history.
