What happened during the ICE shootings in Minneapolis?
This week on Consider This, the deadly ICE shootings in Minneapolis. That city's police chief told us he was already concerned with how federal agents were doing their jobs. Truly, the manner how this enforcement action is being conducted. An immigration crackdown gone wrong on Consider This. Listen every weekday afternoon on the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. The Pentagon says the U.S. military carried out large-scale strikes against multiple ISIS targets across Syria. It's part of an operation started last month in response to the deadly ISIS attack on U.S. and Syrian forces that left two American soldiers and a U.S. civilian interpreter dead. Protests over the death of 37-year-old Renee Good by ICE agent in Minneapolis this week continue in Minnesota and around the country. Immigrant rights groups say more than 1,000 demonstrations are planned from New York City to Minneapolis to Portland, Oregon this weekend. Meanwhile, three Democratic members of Congress were turned away from the ICE detention center in St.
Paul today. This as the Department of Homeland Security upped its presence in the Twin Cities following Good's death Wednesday. Minnesota Public Radio's Clay Masters reports.
Democratic U.S. Representatives Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison were initially allowed into the facility. But Omar says it was not long before officials said they were no longer allowed access to the building.
What happened today is a blatant attempt to obstruct members of Congress from doing their oversight duties.
The lawmakers say they were told their denial is because the facility was funded by the Big Beautiful Bill Act, which they dispute. For NPR News, I'm Clay Masters in Minneapolis.
Authorities in Iran indicated today that they intend to continue their crackdown on large-scale anti-government protests. Villa Marx reports the country's Revolutionary Guards blamed the unrest on terrorists.
The current set of demonstrations that have lasted two weeks are the biggest in years, and the Iranian authorities have promised to safeguard their existing system of government. Meanwhile, President Trump has posted on social media that the U.S. stands, quote, ready to help. with Iran, quote, looking at freedom perhaps like never before. Restrictions on internet access limit information from inside Iran, but as night fell Saturday, recently posted videos seemed to show fresh protests in parts of the capital city, Tehran, and several other cities across the country. Reza Pahlavi, son of the last shah of Iran who was deposed in 1979, issued one of his frequent messages, urging protesters to expand their efforts so as to topple the country's theocratic leadership.
For NPR News, I'm Willem Marks.
In Mississippi, police have arrested 24-year-old Derricka Moore, who's accused of killing six people in Clay County, including his father, brother, and an unnamed seven-year-old relative. Sheriff Eddie Scott has more on the charges.
Moore is currently charged with first-degree murder. That charge will be upgraded here shortly to capital murder, with additional murder charges forthcoming with conjunction with the district attorney's office.
He has a preliminary hearing on Monday, and there's no word on a motive. You're listening to NPR News from Washington. Burning plastic for heating and fuel is more widespread than previously thought. That's according to new research. As NPR's Jonathan Lambert reports, the problem is greatest in low-income countries.
Each year, humanity produces over a billion tons of plastic. Much of that plastic ends up as trash. A study in the journal Nature Communications reveals that many households in low-income countries are burning that plastic trash to heat their homes or cook their food. Across more than two dozen countries, nearly one in three people surveyed by researchers reported being aware of households burning plastic. Sixteen percent said they'd done it themselves, either as a cheap source of fuel or just as a way of dealing with all that excess waste.
