Chapter 1: What are the latest updates on the government shutdown?
Trying to avoid another government shutdown. I'm Ted Lindner, Fox News. Government shutdown could kick in at the end of this month. On Thursday, the House passed four spending bills aimed at averting it. Speaker Mike Johnson.
The House has now passed all 12 appropriations bills, and the Senate will soon do the same, and the President is going to sign them into law. What a concept, gentlemen.
The bills totaling $1.2 trillion. The Senate expected to take up the bills next week ahead of that January 30th deadline. Vice President J.D. Vance in Minneapolis addressing anti-ice protests that have been rocking the city. Rallying on behalf of Renee Good. She was killed by an ice agent after a confrontation in her vehicle.
The tragedy here is multilayered. The tragedy is there was a misunderstanding. The tragedy is that Renee Good lost her life. The tragedy is that you have ICE officers who are going into communities where they're worried that if they call 911, no one's going to come to help them.
Vans refer to officers being harassed and doxxed as unacceptable while describing the scene in the Twin Cities as chaotic. Meantime, the Homeland Security Department says it's made an arrest after anti-ICE activists shut down a Minnesota church service last weekend. Fox's Steve Harrigan.
The Justice Department making at least three arrests of protesters who interrupted a church service in St. Paul Sunday, shouting at worshipers for about half an hour that they should be out demonstrating against ICE. They could face federal charges for interfering with freedom to practice religion. At least one made her first appearance in federal court. Do we want these arrests to be so chaotic?
No, we don't. Vice President J.D. Vance was on the ground here meeting with federal agents and local law enforcement. He says the biggest problem is the lack of cooperation between the two sides.
And the death toll from Iran's bloody crackdown on nationwide protests reached at least 5,002 people killed.

Chapter 3: How has the Justice Department responded to recent protests?
Reacting to hours of testimony at the House Judiciary Committee, President Trump says former special counsel Jack Smith, who the president calls deranged, should be prosecuted.
