Today is Wednesday, January 14th. We're talking about confrontations between protesters and federal

agents in Minnesota and President Trump's advice to Iranian protesters who are facing mass casualties.

It's common for activists to boo, taunt, and blow whistles

when they spot ice agents passing through in unmarked vehicles or walking the streets. The idea is

to warn the neighborhood and remind the government they're watching. But some believe to be impeding

operations have been arrested. Federal officers have also used tear gas, pepper balls, and flashbangs to get crowds

He told the people of Minnesota that ICE wants to remove what he said were thousands of violent

criminals and, quote, a day of reckoning and retribution is coming.
