Noem is boasting about catching criminals. Where is the criminal who shot Ms. Good?

Protests continue after Renee Good shot and killed by ICE agent in Minneapolis
There are plenty of pictures showing crowds - from last night and gathering this morning. It also includes a list of places and times for today. But this one, for the signs, pretty much says it all.

In predicting which deals get undone quickest in 2028 when a new Democratic president takes office, this deal seems destined for the short list. Note, the “two main goals” of the US sure seem like the same goal.
Trump Is Preparing a Major Deal on Greenland
The U.S. administration is developing a draft agreement with Greenland that could be offered directly to the island’s authorities, according to The Economist.
The proposal involves a Free Association Agreement — a framework in which the United States provides funding and guarantees improvements in living standards, while the partner hands over defense matters to Washington, retaining internal self-government.
The U.S. already operates under similar arrangements with Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau.
According to the magazine, Trump’s strategy has two main goals. The first is to deepen divisions between Greenland and Denmark. The second is to open direct negotiations with the island, bypassing Copenhagen.
