Ahead of President Trump's remarks, the Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, addressed the rising global tensions in his own speech.

While Carney didn't mention Trump by name, he spoke not long after the president posted an AI image on social media showing American flags superimposed over Canada, part of Trump's ongoing jabs that the country should become the 51st U.S.

state.

In his speech, Carney called on medium-sized countries, like his own, to band together to offset the strength of superpowers like the U.S.

In Minnesota, top police officials are criticizing the tactics being used by federal immigration agents, saying many residents are scared to go outside and that the agents are undermining trust in law enforcement.

In a press conference yesterday with two police chiefs and a county sheriff, officials said they knew of American citizens, including at least one off-duty police officer, who'd been pulled over in question.

They said they were all people of color.

While the officials said they are not opposed to immigration enforcement, they accused ICE officers deployed to the region of being too heavy-handed.

In response, federal officials defended the behavior of immigration agents in Minnesota, saying their actions are legal, ethical and moral.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration ramped up its investigation into Democratic officials in Minnesota who have been critical of the aggressive immigration enforcement push there.

The Department of Justice has now formally served subpoenas to five officials, including Governor Tim Walz, as the administration has claimed that local leaders conspired to impede ICE agents in the state.

Without citing any evidence, the deputy attorney general has accused Walls and the mayor of Minneapolis of terrorism, saying they'd encouraged violence against federal agents.

In Texas, the family of a Cuban immigrant who died while in custody at an ICE detention center earlier this month claims that he was killed by guards.

In a new court filing, the family asked that the government be blocked from deporting two other detainees who they say are witnesses.

According to the filing, one fellow detainee said he saw the guards choke the man to death.

Another said he saw the man struggling with the guards before he died.

Both have since been given deportation notices.

Federal officials have offered a different account.

Initially, Ice said the man had been, quote, "...experiencing medical distress."

Later, after the Washington Post reported on the family's claims, a Department of Homeland Security official said he had died by suicide and, quote, resisted interventions from security staff.
