Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. President Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act to tamp down on the ongoing protests in Minneapolis. He will be the first president to use the act in more than 30 years, as NPR's Alana Wise reports.
The Insurrection Act allows a president to deploy the military on U.S. soil during times of civil unrest. As protests continue against ICE agents in the wake of the fatal shooting of Renee Macklin Goode, Trump has threatened to use the act to silence demonstrators. In a post on social media, Trump accused Minnesota lawmakers of being corrupt and called protesters, quote, professional agitators.
Trump has previously threatened to invoke the act when legal challenges mounted against his decision to deploy National Guard troops across the country last year. Unlike the National Guard deployments, the Insurrection Act would allow armed forces to act as law enforcement, even allowing arrests. It was last used in 1992 during the Los Angeles riots. Alana Wise, NPR News.
The U.S. has seized another oil tanker in the Caribbean. NPR's Quill Lawrence reports the Trump administration says it will control all oil exports from Venezuela.
Marines and sailors boarded the motor tanker Veronica in a pre-dawn raid, according to U.S. Southern Command, in a post on social media that included a grainy video of troops dropping onto the ship from helicopters. Southcom said the operation went off without incident.

Chapter 2: What recent actions has President Trump taken regarding the Insurrection Act?
After the U.S. military attack that deposed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, President Trump says the United States will run that country and in particular take control of its massive oil reserves and continue to enforce an embargo on any other tankers attempting to ship oil from Venezuela. Trump said in an executive order last week that profits from the oil will benefit both the U.S.
and the Venezuelan people, but he has not yet explained how. Quill Lawrence, NPR News.
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Karina Machado was at the White House Thursday. She presented President Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize medal. In a social media post, President Trump said it was a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Trump openly campaigned for the Peace Prize before it was awarded to Machado.
The FBI's search of a Washington Post reporter's home has set off alarm bells among press advocates. NPR's David Focomplik says the search was highly unusual, but part of a pattern with the Trump administration.
The pattern includes lawsuits filed against The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, ABC, CBS, the BBC by President Trump as an individual. His top broadcast regulator has launched investigations of CBS and PBS and NPR and NBC. There's been pressure of the corporate owners of CNN, The Washington Post and CBS.
President Trump himself has repeatedly called for journalists who won't reveal their sources to be threatened with jail.
Attorney General Pam Bondi says the search was conducted at the request of the Pentagon as part of a leak investigation. And you're listening to NPR News. In Australia, early data show millions of social media accounts were deactivated in the days after the country launched its social media ban for children.
Last month, Australia became the first country ever to impose hefty fines on social media companies if children under age 16 use the platforms. Reporter Katie Silver has more from Sydney.
Social media companies behind Snap, TikTok and Instagram have told the Australian government they deactivated some 4.7 million accounts in the first two days after social media laws took effect last month. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese calls the early data encouraging.
