Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. The Department of Justice says it's not investigating the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis earlier this month. Earlier this week, the DOJ opened an investigation into the top lawmaker in Minnesota. NPR's Luke Garrett has more.
Chapter 2: What recent investigation did the DOJ announce regarding Minnesota officials?
The Justice Department is not investigating the killing of a woman by an ICE agent. Here's Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch on Fox News.
We investigate when it's appropriate to investigate, and that is not the case here. It wasn't the case when it happened, and it's not the case today.
Blanch did not rule out a federal probe in the future and said an internal review of the killing is ongoing at the Department of Homeland Security. The Deputy Attorney General then defended the DOJ's active investigation into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye.
whether you're a governor, a mayor, or somebody out there on the streets assaulting ICE, you cannot, under federal law, you cannot impede a federal officer doing their job.
Fry and Waltz said they will not be intimidated and denied impeding federal law enforcement. Luke Garrett, NPR News, Washington.
President Trump is escalating his crusade for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, saying he'll impose 10 percent tariffs on eight European countries until they agree to his plan. And as NPR's Barbara Sprunt reports, a congressional delegation went to Denmark this weekend trying to turn down the temperature.
Congresswoman Sarah McBride, a Democrat from Delaware, said the Greenlandic delegation told lawmakers how existential this threat feels.
I think it is easy for people back in the United States to see these headlines and to dismiss it as show, as pure saber rattling. But I cannot stress for people enough how serious people in Greenland and Denmark are taking this.
Greenlandic officials said they welcomed the visit and want to send a message to the White House that they are open for constructive dialogue. Barbara Sprint, NPR News, Copenhagen.
