Demonstrators against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stand behind a fence outside the Bishop Whipple Federal Building where federal agents are operating, following last weeks fatal shooting of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by ICE agents during a federal immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on January 26, 2026. On January 24, federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, while scuffling with him on an icy roadway in Minneapolis, less than three weeks after an immigration officer fired on Renee Good, also 37, killing her in her car. US President Donald Trump blamed their deaths on Democratic "chaos," as his administration faced intensifying pressure over its mass immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - 2026/04/11: A protester is being arrested by the police for holding a placard reading "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action" during the rally. Protesters gathered for a demonstration organised by Defend Our Juries calling for the lifting of restrictions on protest rights in the United Kingdom. More than 300 demonstrators staged a mass sit-in in Trafalgar Square, holding signs reading "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action" as part of the protest. Police moved in to arrest participants on suspicion of offences related to displaying support for a proscribed organisation, while activists argue the action highlights concerns over civil liberties and freedom of expression.

“They Want People Scared”: Former Palestine Action Member Blasts Trump’s Terror Sanctions

QUSRA, WEST BANK, PALESTINE - AUGUST 20: Israeli army soldiers patrol as Palestinian residents remain confined inside their homes in the village of Qusra, south of Nablus in the West Bank, on August 20, 2026, after the Israeli military declared three residential properties a 'closed military zone' following repeated attacks and blockade by Israeli settlers. The restrictions began on Aug. 9, when settlers surrounded the homes and limited residents' movement and access to food, water and electricity. The 13-day blockade, which affects a home owned by Palestinian-American Loui Ridi, has drawn international attention, leading U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, a long-time supporter of West Bank settlements, to issue a rare statement condemning the actions of the extremist settlers and describing them as 'terrorists' as local families appeal for an immediate end to the military isolation. Ridi said Huckabee's remarks were a positive step but had not changed conditions on the ground, and called on the US government to provide protection for him and his family.
