Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. Homeland Security says there are more than 2,000 ICE agents on the ground in Minneapolis this weekend in what officials describe as a surge in immigration enforcement. Protests against those efforts have been occurring there almost daily, but today there was a different protest underway.
A far-right anti-immigration activist planned an event in downtown Minneapolis. It was very small. There were maybe a few hundred people out there letting this activist know he was not welcome. But overall, small turnout, partly because days before this event, community chats and neighbors, groups were telling each other, do not show up to this. Don't take the bait.
That's NPR's Jasmine Garst, who's in Minneapolis. But Judge, meanwhile, ruled Friday that ICE agents cannot detain or use tear gas on peaceful protesters, not obstructing authorities. Protests were held Saturday in Denmark against President Trump's proposed annexation of Greenland. In cities across that country, tens of thousands of people rallied in support of the island.
James Kneeler in Denmark has our reports.
Thousands of people marched through the streets of downtown Aarhus, Denmark, to protest Trump's proposed annexation of Greenland. The demonstration also included speeches and musical performances by Greenlandic activists and politicians. Charlotte Vindelof is a social worker and local politician.
She said she was drawn to demonstrate because of her deep personal connection to Greenland, where she lived for five years.
I think that the Greenlandic people sometimes have felt very much alone. And finally we have a case that needs us to back them up and be there for them.

Abigail Spanberger was sworn in today, becoming Virginia's first female governor. Jad Khalil of VPM News reports that she comes into office with economic and political challenges ahead.
Spanberger's presence on the stage was a major departure from the 74 men that had been governors before her.
It is the honor of my life to stand before you and take the oath today. The history and the gravity of this moment are not lost on me.
Virginia's economy is closely tied with that of the federal government, and tens of thousands of federal workers have lost their jobs recently. Spanberger took note.
You are worried about an administration that is gilding buildings while schools crumble.
Spanberger comes into office with Democrats in control of the legislature, too. For NPR News, I'm Jad Khalil in Richmond.

NASA is moving forward with its plan for sending people back to the moon for the first time in more than a half a century. As NPR's Amy Held reports, the Artemis II rocket rolled out of its assembly building this morning, ahead of a historic mission.
After years of delays and cost overruns, NASA's huge new moon rocket had its red carpet moment. four-mile slow roll to its launch pad for testing and rehearsals. Ahead of its real test, the Artemis II mission launch window opens next month to send four astronauts farther into space than any human has ever gone, some 46,000 miles away around the moon for a look at the far side.
