What events led to the Minneapolis ICE shooting?
As investigations into the Minneapolis ICE shooting continue, anti-government protests spread into other cities across the U.S.
I wish we would talk factually about what we see every day from these protesters, how they chant over and over, kill ICE, attack law enforcement, how they're trained to perpetuate violence against them.
I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Monday, January 12th. This is Morning Wire.
President Trump weighs his options in Iran as the government cracks down with deadly force on anti-regime protests.
I've made the statement very strongly that if they start killing people like they have in the past, we will get involved.
We'll be hitting them very hard where it hurts. Will the U.S. carry out more strikes? And is Cuba now in the president's crosshairs?

Nationwide protests continued to spread this weekend following a deadly ice-involved shooting in Minneapolis.
Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips is here with the latest. Hey, Cabot, so the story out of Minneapolis continues to dominate the headlines. Lots of video footage streaming in. Where do things stand now in the city?
Yeah, you mentioned video footage coming in. Alpha News actually obtained the cell phone footage taken by the ICE agent during last week's shooting. And it does give a much fuller picture of what transpired. As the agent approaches 37-year-old Rene Good, who is sitting in the driver's seat, he's first haunted by Good's wife. Have a listen.
What is President Trump's response to the situation in Iran?
You want to come at us? You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy.
Seconds later, as other agents demanded that Goode get out of her car, her wife yells, quote, drive, baby, drive. You can then see Goode appearing to look directly at the officer in front of her car before revving her engine and accelerating. We're not going to play that part, but you can hear the officer let out a panicked scream as he is seemingly hit by the vehicle. You can also hear that on the video before three shots ring out. Now, Republicans felt that footage further vindicated the officer and showed that this was a justified case of self-defense. But many on the left continued to double down. and claimed that this was murder.
What are the implications of the protests in Iran?
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, for example, demanded that the entire agency be abolished, while Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff claimed the victim was not even taking part in any protest, but was simply caught up in the crowd.
