What incidents occurred during the anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis?
Arrests reported. I'm Deborah Dallin, Time Fox News. At least two arrests Friday night outside the federal building in Minneapolis during anti-ice protests. Fox's Bill Malusian reports from Minneapolis.
There were a couple of protesters standing in front of the main gate to this federal property. And then there was a skirmish line of federal agents that started walking slowly. And then kind of at the snap of their fingers, they just bull rushed two of those protesters who the feds will say were on federal property. They tried getting away. They took two of them down to the ground. We saw one person get maced in the face over in the snow. Not sure exactly what led up to that interaction. Other than that, it hasn't been as active as it was. We haven't seen any tear gas. It has been snowing all day. The temperatures have dropped in a single digit. Still, you got folks out here protesting. The cold weather is not stopping now.
The Justice Department is reportedly investigating Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry over their anti-ice rhetoric. Meanwhile, a federal judge issues a ruling Friday barring federal officers from detaining or deploying tear gas against peaceful protesters who aren't obstructing authorities while participating in Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis.
The ruling prohibits officers from retaliating against anyone peacefully protesting or observing their actions. adding the agents must show probable cause or reasonable suspicion that someone has committed a crime or is interfering with law enforcement before taking action. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin says the agents are protecting themselves and the public from dangerous rioters. Gary Baumgarten, Fox News.
Tens of thousands of Cubans gathered in Havana Friday night to protest what they say is the killing of 32 Cuban officers during the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The crowd demanded the release of Maduro, arrested by the U.S. January 3rd. America's listening to Fox News.

President Trump is appearing to back off threats of military action in Iran. Fox's Jared Halpern has more from the White House.
Israel and Arab states did not persuade President Trump against military strikes in Iran, he says, but rather commitments made by the regime in Tehran.
You know, Iran canceled the hanging of over 800 people. They were going to hang over 800 people yesterday. And I greatly respect the fact that they canceled it.
The president has encouraged anti-government protesters in Iran to keep it up, saying earlier this week help is on its way. Since then, President Trump has been told on good authority, he says, the killing of protesters is stopping and executions are not planned. At the White House, Jared Halpern, Fox News.
A judge denies a request from the defense team of accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson to dismiss the entire prosecution.
At issue, the adult child of an unnamed senior prosecutor was at the Turning Point USA event in September where Charlie Kirk was shot and killed. The defense argued the state attorney general needed to step in to determine whether the senior prosecutor should have been kept off the case due to his child's experience. Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray denied any conflict here, saying the adult child didn't even see the shooting and would not be called as a witness. The judge didn't buy it either, and arguments finally began in the original defense motion to disqualify that senior prosecutor and, by extension, the entire prosecution team.
Fox's Claudia Cohen reporting from Provo, Utah. One dead, three hurt at the historic Dookie Chase restaurant in New Orleans Friday night.
What ruling did a federal judge issue regarding federal officers and peaceful protesters?
Police Superintendent Ann Kirkpatrick says the shooter is on the run.
