Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dan Rowland. President Trump is escalating his efforts for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, saying he will impose 10 percent tariffs on eight European nations until they agree to his plan. NPR's Barbara Sprott reports a congressional delegation went to Denmark this weekend trying to turn down the temperature.
Chapter 2: What actions is President Trump taking regarding Greenland?
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 and Peer News, Copenhagen.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry is criticizing the possibility of active duty troops being sent to Minnesota, saying it's unconstitutional and ridiculous. President Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to the protests that have taken place in that city since the killing of Renee Good almost two weeks ago by an ICE agent.
The mayor has since appeared to have backed off his threat on the Insurrection Act. The mayor was on ABC's This Week.
They're looking for an excuse. They're trying to intimidate Minneapolis residents, but... I'll tell you, I've seen tens of thousands of people remain composed to line up to get groceries to people that are scared to go outside, to make sure that people have a walk to their car on their way back home from work.
Meanwhile, a federal judge has ruled that immigration officers cannot detain or use tear gas against peaceful protest. ICE is reporting another death, this time at the largest detention center in the country. The Nicaraguan man is the third person to die at the massive detention camp run by a private contractor. Angela Kachergo with member station KTEP reports.
ICE says Victor Manuel Diaz died at the tent facility last Wednesday. The 36-year-old from Nicaragua had been in custody since January 6, when ICE says agents encountered him in Minneapolis and determined he was in the country illegally. According to ICE, staff at the massive detention camp in El Paso found Diaz unconscious and called for emergency medical help.
ICE says the death is a presumed suicide. There are conflicting reports about another death at the camp that ICE says was suicide. A detainee told the Associated Press... That man was in an altercation with staff when he died. For NPR News, I'm Angela Kocherga in El Paso.
