Chapter 2: What incident occurred involving ICE and a civilian in Minneapolis?
In Minneapolis today, an immigration officer shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good while ICE was conducting what it calls targeted operations. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says the agent feared for his life and fired in self-defense. ICE agents repeatedly ordered her to get out of the car and to stop obstructing law enforcement, but she refused to obey their commands.
She then proceeded to weaponize her vehicle and attempted to run a law enforcement officer over. Local officials and bystanders contradict Noem's account. Matt Sepik from Minnesota Public Radio has more on the bystander footage. Federal agents are heard telling the driver, ma'am, get out of the car.
The footage taken by a witness shows one federal officer walk around the right side of the car and around the front. Moments later, two other agents walk up to the driver's side. One tries to open the door. At this point, the driver begins to reverse on the icy street. As the officer hangs on the door, the driver begins to drive away from the scene.
And then an officer in front of the SUV appears to fire into the car three times. Minnesota Public Radio's Matt Sepik reporting. Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed Congress this morning on the next steps following the U.S. operation that seized Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. As NPR's Barbara Sprott reports, there was a clear partisan divide as lawmakers left the briefing.
Rubio says he told Congress step one will involve quarantine for Venezuela, which will include selling sanctioned oil and distributing the profits. Step two, recovery, will restore access to the Venezuelan market in a way he described as fair. He did not offer details on how step three, transition, will work.
Lawmakers have been clamoring for a briefing from the administration, which did not notify Congress until after the military operation concluded. Republican lawmakers left the briefing praising the operation. while Democrats criticized the administration for not being forthright about what these next steps will entail.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on the administration to answer questions in public hearings. Barbara Sprint, NPR News, the Capitol. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is calling for a special session in April to change the state's congressional map. Douglas Soule of member station WSF reports.
President Donald Trump has been putting pressure on conservative-led states to redraw maps to add Republicans to Congress. DeSantis says he wants Florida to wait for a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on a Louisiana case that could change how race factors into the process. I have a very high degree of confidence that at least one or two of those districts on our current map
are going to be implicated by this Supreme Court decision. But Florida's House leadership wants a new map during the state's regular session, which starts next week. Republicans currently have 20 of 28 House seats. Democrats say the effort only boosts Republicans ahead of the midterms. For NPR News, I'm Douglas Soule in Tallahassee.
