Attorney General Pam Bondi says a woman who led an anti-immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a service at a Minnesota church has been arrested. Bondi announced the arrest of Nekima Levy Armstrong in a post on X on Thursday. On Sunday, protesters entered the Cities Church in St. Paul, where a local official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement serves as a pastor. Bondi said later a second person was also arrested. The group interrupted services by chanting “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good,” referring to the 37-year-old mother of three who was fatally shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis this month. Levy Armstrong, a civil rights attorney and prominent local activist, had called for the pastor affiliated with ICE to resign.

The U.S. Army has ordered several dozen additional active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minneapolis as protests continue over the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement crackdown. Defense officials say members of an Army military police brigade stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, have received “prepare-to-deploy” orders, meaning they must be ready to move if needed to support civil authorities. About 1,500 active-duty soldiers from the Army’s 11th Airborne Division based in Alaska have also received similar standby orders. Officials stressed that such orders are routine and do not necessarily mean the troops will be sent — they are precautionary measures in case unrest escalates. The move follows weeks of protests in Minneapolis tied to federal immigration enforcement operations that began after a fatal confrontation between an ICE agent and a local resident. President Trump previously threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act — a seldom-used law that would allow active-duty forces to support domestic law enforcement — but later said it wasn’t needed at this time. Local leaders, including Minnesota’s governor and Minneapolis’s mayor, have urged calm and discouraged the deployment of additional federal troops, saying civilian law enforcement and community engagement are the path toward restoring stability.

President Donald Trump says the United States will not use military force to acquire Greenland, but he remains firm that the Arctic territory is critical to U.S. and global security. Speaking during remarks surrounding the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump said he does not want to use force and believes a deal can be reached through negotiations. He described Greenland as a strategically vital region for national defense and Arctic security, arguing that U.S. involvement would strengthen stability in the region. The president has renewed calls for talks with Denmark, which governs the semiautonomous territory, while insisting his interest in Greenland is based on security concerns rather than economic gain. Danish leaders have pushed back, saying Greenland’s sovereignty is not negotiable. Trump has emphasized that discussions are ongoing and that any future agreement would be pursued through diplomatic channels, not military action.

Denmark’s prime minister is pushing back after President Donald Trump said the United States and NATO had agreed to a “framework of a future deal” focused on Arctic security and Greenland. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Denmark will not negotiate its sovereignty over Greenland and stated she has been informed that no such agreement was reached. She added that discussions with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte are ongoing, including conversations before and after his meeting with President Trump in Davos. President Trump has emphasized Greenland’s strategic importance to U.S. and global security, while also making clear he does not intend to use force. Earlier this week, Trump abruptly scrapped tariffs he had threatened to impose on several European nations, saying negotiations and discussions are still underway.

A former Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District police officer has been acquitted of criminal charges tied to the law enforcement response to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting. A jury found Adrian Gonzales not guilty on all 29 counts of child abandonment and endangerment. Gonzales was among the first officers to respond to the May 24 attack, which left 19 students and two teachers dead. Prosecutors argued Gonzales failed to follow his training and did not confront the gunman when he had the opportunity, alleging his actions contributed to the deadly outcome. His defense team countered that Gonzales never encountered the shooter before the gunman entered the school and therefore could not have intervened. The trial marked one of the rare instances in which a law enforcement officer faced criminal charges for alleged inaction during a mass shooting. Wednesday’s verdict clears Gonzales of all charges stemming from the state’s case.

Maine is seeing an increase in immigration enforcement activity this week. The state's secretary of state has responded by declining to issue more undercover license plates for federal immigration officers. ICE Deputy Assistant Director Patricia Hyde told FOX News that it had made 50 arrests by Tuesday as part of “Operation Catch of the Day” and has about 1,400 targets in the state. The actions have centered on Portland and Lewiston, the two largest cities in the state. The cities have thousands of residents of African descent, including many from Somalia.

An appeals court has suspended a decision that restricts the aggressive tactics of immigration officers in Minnesota. The government persuaded the appeals court to freeze a judge’s ruling that bars officers from using tear gas and taking other steps against peaceful protesters in Minnesota’s Twin Cities. The stay is in effect while the government appeals. Meanwhile, an official in Maine turned down a request for more undercover license plates for U.S. Customs and Border Protection vehicles. The Maine secretary of state cited “abuses of power” during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

California Governor Gavin Newsom, an outspoken Democratic critic of President Donald Trump, said he was blocked from speaking at the World Economic Forum at Davos on Wednesday, accusing the White House of interfering with his planned event. "California was just denied at the USA House. Last we checked, California is part of USA," Newsom said in an X post, referring to the official U.S. venue in Davos. "How weak and pathetic do you have to be to be this scared of a fireside chat?" added Newsom, who has publicly mulled seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028. Newsom's office blamed pressure from the Trump administration, without providing evidence. "Under pressure from the White House and State Department, USA House (a church acting as the official U.S. pavilion) is now denying entry to @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom to speak with media after Fortune — the official media partner — invited him to speak," Newsom's press office said on Wednesday. Newsom's press office said that Fortune had invited him earlier this month for a fireside chat and that Newsom accepted the offer. Fortune did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump and Newsom have clashed repeatedly since Trump took office for his second White House term a year ago, including over the Republican president's deployment of National Guard troops to the state over the summer. Trump regularly refers to the governor as "Newscum." "I know Gavin was here," Trump said during his Davos address. "I used to get along so great with Gavin." Newsom could be seen in the room during Trump's speech, later telling reporters, "It was remarkably boring. It was remarkably insignificant. He was never going to invade Greenland. It was never real." Earlier Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent set the stage with his own mocking critique of the California governor, saying Newsom "strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken," referring to, respectively, a fictional serial killer and a popular male doll that is Barbie's counterpart. "He is too smug, too self-absorbed and too economically illiterate to know anything," Bessent said.
