Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. State and local officials in Minnesota say they're starting their own investigation into the shooting death of Renee Good this week. Good was shot by ICE officers at a stop in Minneapolis.
The FBI said it would investigate the shooting without help, but Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty says the Trump administration's decision to go it alone gives her no choice.
Chapter 2: What details are emerging about the shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis?
There are complex legal issues involved when a federal law enforcement officer is involved. But the law is clear. We do have jurisdiction to make this decision. We cannot make any decision, however, if there is not evidence submitted to our office. So we are moving forward in collaboration with the Attorney General's office and the BCA to preserve any evidence and ensure that it can be reviewed.
Moriarty is also asking citizens to provide any video or photos they may have of the shooting. A Dallas TikTok user has been fired from her job at a Hilton hotel after posting a video claiming ICE agents were staying there. For Member Station KERA in Dallas, Becca Moore reports on the now viral video.
The woman who only identifies herself as Gia in the clip warns people to stay away.
There are ICE agents staying at the Hudson Anatole in Dallas. Quite frankly, I don't really care if I lose my job because I could get in trouble for posting this. But honestly, I don't care because I care more about your families.
Her video has since ignited calls for a boycott. Gia was fired Thursday by Hilton's third-party valet company, Town Park, after refusing to take her videos down. Tensions between ICE and the communities they're entering has reached a boiling point this week after the fatal shooting of Rene Good in Minneapolis.
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered to protest the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Dallas on Thursday night. For NPR News, I'm Becca Moore in Dallas.
The U.S. and Venezuelan governments say they're exploring ways to restore diplomatic ties, including reopening the U.S. embassy in Caracas. A small team of U.S. officials arrived in the Venezuelan capital on Friday. Officials say Venezuelan diplomats will travel to the U.S. as well. NPR's Kerry Khan has our report.
According to the State Department, the diplomats and security officials, including charge d'affaires John T. McNamara, are in Venezuela to carry out a technical and logistical assessment toward renewing ties. The government of Venezuela's acting president, Delsa Rodriguez, also confirmed the visit, which it said was to work on an agenda of mutual interest.
But in a statement, officials stressed the need to address what it said was the criminal, illegitimate, and illegal aggression perpetrated against Venezuela and the, quote, kidnapping of its president, NicolƔs Maduro. The U.S. and Venezuela severed relations in 2019 after Maduro expelled U.S. diplomats from the country. Carrie Khan, NPR News, Bogota, Colombia.
