Today is Wednesday, January 28th. We're talking about two members of Congress who say they were

violently confronted over immigration, a government watchdog's version of the shooting of Alex

Preti that tells things differently than some top officials, and how the immigration

crackdown in the U.S. has started to stir opposition overseas. Plus, what new data on the U.S.

population shows, which Amazon experiment seems to have

officially failed, and how different kinds of toys are now featuring K-pop demon hunters.

Those stories and even more news coming up.

As tensions over immigration enforcement rise all around the country, multiple members of Congress

Somalia, but is from Minnesota and was speaking at a town hall there when

the incident happened. Omar had just said, we must abolish ice for good, when a man sitting

directly in front of her stood up and sprayed her with a syringe full of strong-smelling

liquid. He then said something before a security officer tackled him to the ground, handcuffed

him, and removed him from the room. As of this morning,

before yelling a racist slur.

Frost says he's okay.
