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. In Minneapolis, protests continue over the shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good this week by an ICE agent. A large group has gathered for a rally in March this afternoon, and there were protests last night. Police Chief Brian O'Hara says around 1,000 people attended and that it was mostly peaceful until a few broke off from the group, damaging windows.
Ultimately by 1 a.m., all of these individuals were either dispersed or placed under arrest. There were 29 arrests last night. We are aware of one police officer that was injured from a chunk of ice that was thrown at them. Other than that, we are not aware of any other injuries.
Meanwhile, protests and demonstrations against the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, along with Good's death, are planned across the country this weekend. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he thinks Israel will be able to wean itself off U.S. military aid over the next decade. He made the comments in an interview with The Economist, as NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports.
Netanyahu was recently in Florida visiting President Trump and says he told the U.S. leader that Israel has come of age and developed, quote, incredible capabilities. In the interview with The Economist, the Israeli leader did not set any specific deadlines, but he says he wants to taper off the military aid within the next 10 years. The U.S. and Israel signed a 10-year commitment during the Obama administration that amounts to about $3.8 billion a year, much of it in grants to buy U.S. military equipment. Netanyahu is Israel's longest-serving prime minister, but this could be a challenging election year for him. He often touts his relationship with President Trump. Michelle Kellerman, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
One of Mississippi's deadliest mass shootings happened overnight in the rural community of West Point, where six people were killed by a 24-year-old suspect in what local authorities are calling one of the worst crimes they've seen. Mississippi Public Broadcasting's Shamira Muhammad has more.
Among the victims Derek Moore is accused of killing Friday night are four relatives, his father, his brother, an uncle, and a seven-year-old child, Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott.
What are the reactions to the protests following Renee Good's shooting?
I know how I felt. And just to be there looking at these family members trying to, first of all, grieving the loss of their loved one, and then finding out who it was that committed this, another family member, I mean, it was overwhelming.
Moore was booked early Saturday morning on first-degree murder charges, which officials expect to elevate to multiple capital murder charges. District Attorney Scott Colombe says he will investigate the use of the death penalty. A motive is not known at this time. For NPR News, I'm Shamir Mohamed in Jackson, Mississippi. You're listening to NPR News from Washington.
Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Bob Weir, the founding member of the Grateful Dead, has died. He was 78 years old. According to a social media post by his family, he died after a long battle with cancer and underlying lung issues. He was the band's rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist on many songs, including this one. Sugar Manolia. Weir was with the group from 1965 to 1995, then resuscitated the band when he formed The Dead and Company in 2015, playing mostly dead songs. The Washington National Opera says it's leaving the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., which has been its home since 1971. And Paris Chloe Veltman reports the opera's departure comes in response to new policies that put a strain on its financial model.
In a statement to NPR, the Washington National Opera stressed the amicability of its decision to end its long-time residency at the Kennedy Center.
