In Minneapolis, Thousands Take to the Streets Over Immigration Crackdown
A wave of protests swept through parts of Minnesota's Twin Cities on Friday, with hundreds of businesses closing their doors and thousands of workers and students staying home. The demonstrations were sparked by concerns over the Trump administration's aggressive immigration crackdown, which has left many in the community feeling targeted.
Meanwhile, a group of at least 40 Iranian nationals is set to be deported back to Iran as early as Sunday, in what could be considered a death sentence for those facing deportation. This move follows President Donald Trump's threat to leaders of Iran over their handling of protesters.
The news has sent shockwaves across the globe, with European leaders convening an emergency summit in response to radical threats from the US. The EU is reportedly set to propose an investment package for Greenland and allocate part of its security spending towards the Arctic region.
However, not everyone is pleased with the Trump administration's latest move. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky took aim at European countries during a speech on Thursday, criticizing their inability to stop Russia's aggression and their timid response to President Trump's threats.
In another bizarre development, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was rescinded from his invitation to join President Trump's "Board of Peace". The organization is meant to oversee a peace deal between Israel and Hamas in Gaza but has now been broadened into an institution rivaling the UN.
A new twist emerged in a long-standing battle between the administration and journalists. A federal magistrate judge refused to approve a complaint against former CNN anchor Don Lemon, who was involved in a protest at a church in St. Paul.
On Capitol Hill, a House vote on War Powers Act revealed that lawmakers are getting increasingly concerned about President Trump's actions without consulting or approval from Congress. The resolution failed in an unusual tie vote of 215 to 215, with two Republicans crossing party lines in favor.
The fate of TikTok remains uncertain after President Trump and the app announced a joint venture to keep it operating in the US under new American leadership.
As the weekend approaches, some questions remain unanswered – including whether President Trump's comments on Thursday night were an accident or a deliberate move.

... as a parent, I just want my kids to feel safe in their community, you know? And it sounds like some of our leaders are making decisions that are putting people in harm's way 
... I hope we can figure out some solutions that work for everyone, not just the ones with power. I've been trying to explain to my kid why some people might be scared or hurt by these changes 
... it's hard to know what to say when everything feels so uncertain 
... but I do know that we need to stand up for kindness and compassion 
its time for us to stand together as a community & support those affected by these policies. anyone else thinking about donating to organizations that help refugees? 
. Can't say I blame him though, all this US diplomacy is super confusing. Trump's comments on Thursday night had the whole world wondering if he was having a stroke or planning a coup 
Businesses closing down, workers staying home... what's the real impact here? Is it just a bunch of entitled Yanks making a fuss or is there something more going on? 
And let's be real, Trump's been threatening Iran for months now, so I'm not sure why we're surprised by this move. 
.
. It's not always easy to have these conversations, but I think it's the only way we'll ever start to move forward 
.
, thousands taking to the streets and businesses are being forced to close... it's like people are feeling really scared and vulnerable right now. and what's with all these backdoor deals? first it's Iran, then it's Greenland... like what's next? we need some clarity on this stuff.
it sounds like a joke... but seriously, who gets invited to be part of something that's supposed to make the world a better place? and what's with the timing? does Trump just do things on a whim?
