The Minneapolis public school system has also canceled classes for the rest of this week. State and local officials have demanded ICE leave Minnesota entirely.
Chapter 2: What sparked the Minneapolis protests?
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says ICE will not be leaving. The head of Minnesota's State Investigations Agency says the U.S. Attorney's Office prevented it from taking part in the investigation. Noem says Minnesota investigators don't have jurisdiction. They have not been cut out. They don't have any jurisdiction in this investigation. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz calling for calm.

Walz demanding the state be allowed to take part in that investigation. President Trump says he has made up his mind on his Fed chair pick.

More than a dozen oil executives are slated to meet with the president and top officials at the White House to talk about potentially reviving Venezuela's production. The meeting will include representatives from Chevron and ExxonMobil and will focus on what's needed for oil companies to comfortably step back into Venezuela.
And Venezuela will release a significant number of Venezuelan and foreigners imprisoned in the country. The head of the national security, Jorge Rodriguez, the brother of acting President Delcy Rodriguez, did not specify who they would be releasing or how many people would be released.
