Wikimedia: “On January 24, 2026, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old American intensive care nurse, was shot and killed by United States Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

“Video recordings of the incident showed Pretti filming law enforcement agents with his phone and directing traffic. He was subsequently pepper-sprayed and wrestled to the ground by about six federal agents, who then shot him to death.^[1][2][3] A review by The New York Times of available video found him holding a cell phone in the moments before the shooting.^[4]“

“Trump did make clear one thing: This military operation was not just about ousting a leader accused of drug trafficking, but also about expanding U.S. access to Venezuela’s oil reserves.” New York Times (Zolan Kanno-Youngs reporting)

New York Times: “‘This is Trump’s presidency in a single photo,’ wrote Senator Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat, on X, above a picture showing roof tiles and windowpanes cascading from the facade of the wing, having fallen victim to the excavators’ jaws. ‘Illegal, destructive, and not helping you.’

“The project has left historians and architects deeply alarmed. The National Trust for Historic Preservation on Wednesday urged officials to pause until it could go through the “legally required public review process.” Last week, Trump seemed to suggest to donors that “no approvals” were required for the project.”

New York Times: “President Trump said on Thursday that he would bypass Congress rather than seek its approval to carry out military strikes against drug cartels that traffic narcotics to the United States, even as he vowed to expand the operation from attacks at sea to targets on land.

“‘I don’t think we’re going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war, Mr. Trump told reporters of his campaign of deadly strikes against vessels in the Caribbean Sea near Colombia and Venezuela. ‘I think we are going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country, OK? We are going to kill them, you know? They are going to be, like, dead.’”

Though he repeatedly referred to the military operation targeting drug trafficking as a “war,” Mr. Trump said he would not seek any formal approval from lawmakers to continue striking boats or expand it to include airstrikes against countries like Venezuela, where he says the cartels originate.

New York Times: “The Trump administration is considering a radical overhaul of the U.S. refugee system that would slash the program to its bare bones while giving preference to English speakers, white South Africans and Europeans who oppose migration, according to documents obtained by The New York Times.

“The proposals, some of which already have gone into effect, would transform a decades-old program aimed at helping the world’s most desperate people into one that conforms to Mr. Trump’s vision of immigration — which is to help mostly white people who say they are being persecuted while keeping the vast majority of other people out.”
