What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Schiavone. Demonstrators flooded the streets of New York, Los Angeles and other cities demanding justice after a deadly ice shooting in Minneapolis last week. Organizations across the country geared up to push back against federal immigration enforcement. In San Francisco, city leaders pleaded for peaceful protests.
What events sparked nationwide protests in January 2026?
San Francisco Police Chief Derek Liu.
We always plan for spontaneous events that pop up, but bottom line is we have adequate staffing to handle anything that comes up.
In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, demonstration organizer Lisa King rallied the crowd.
After the fatal shooting in Minnesota, we can no longer stay silent about that, and people need to let their voices be known that ICE is not welcome in Baton Rouge, and we really don't think they're doing a great job in our country.
An investigation is underway after a confrontation between Minneapolis woman Renee Good and ICE officers turned deadly when shots were fired into her vehicle. In Iran, reports suggest that hundreds of people have been killed or wounded by the security forces over the past three days as mass anti-government protests continue across that nation. Details are emerging despite an Internet blackout. Staff at three hospitals say they have been overwhelmed with casualties.
How are demonstrators responding to federal immigration enforcement?
The BBC's Bahman Kambasi has more.
It is different from the other protests that I've covered and I've lived through. It is large scale. It's historic. It is across the country. It's across demographics. And it has faced perhaps the most brutal, the most bloody crackdown in the last 72 hours. And it hasn't died down yet. So that should tell us that we are in for possibly a different outcome than the previous protests.
The BBC's Bahman Kabassi activists say the death toll has reached at least 116. The U.S.-based human rights activist news agency gave that new figure. Wall Street gets a new round of corporate report cards this week starting with the country's biggest banks. As NPR's Maria Aspin reports, investors will be watching for more clues about consumer spending and the overall economy.
JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs are among the companies kicking off earnings season by releasing their financial results for the end of last year. These banks do business with companies and people across America, meaning that they have a pretty good window into how their customers are feeling about the economy. Investors will be looking for signs that businesses and consumers are continuing to spend money, despite growing concerns about the labor market. Employers are continuing to slow down on hiring, according to the latest government data, which showed that last year was the weakest for job growth since the pandemic. Maria Aspin, NPR News.
This is NPR News in Washington. The Hollywood Awards season continues tonight with the Golden Globes. It will run on CBS and Paramount+. NPR's Mandelit Del Barco reports.
Comedian Nikki Glaser will once again host the Beverly Hills ceremony. She told CBS Morning she's ready to poke fun at Hollywood.
You have to be very delicate about making jokes that aren't going to ruin anyone's night. People at home want you to make fun of the A-listers.
That includes Golden Globes nominees George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays a washed-up revolutionary in one battle after another. Paul Thomas Anderson's dark comedy action thriller leads the film nominations. Among TV shows, the latest season of The White Lotus has the most drama nominations, six in all, and in a new category for podcasts, Amy Poehler and others are competing with NPR's own Up First. Mandalit Del Barco, NPR News.
