Venezuela’s acting president adapts to post-Maduro reality and signals a new era of US ties

Venezuela's acting president adapts to post-Maduro reality and signals a new era of US ties

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela's acting PresidentDelcy Rodríguezused her first state of the union message on Thursday to advocate for opening the crucial state-run oil industry to more foreign investment following the Trump administration's pledge toseize controlof Venezuelan crude sales.

For the first time, Rodríguez laid out a vision forVenezuela's new political reality— one that challenges her government's most deeply rooted beliefs less than two weeks after the United States captured andtoppled former President Nicolás Maduro.

Under pressure from the U.S. to cooperate with its plans for reshaping Venezuela's sanctioned oil industry, she declared that a "new policy is being formed in Venezuela" and urged the nation's diplomats to tell foreign investors about it.

The Trump administration has said it plans to control future oil revenue to ensure it benefits the Venezuelan people. Rodríguez on Thursday painted a picture of money from the oil sales flowing into the national budget to bolster crisis-stricken health services and deteriorating infrastructure — much of which was constructed under Maduro's predecessor, Hugo Chávez, and neglected in recent years.

While Rodríguez criticized the U.S. capture of Maduro and referred to a "stain on our relations," she also promoted the resumption of diplomatic ties between the historic adversaries. Her succinct, 44-minute speech and largely mollifying tone marked a dramatic contrast to her predecessors' often daily, hourslong rants against U.S. imperialism.

The day before, she gave a 4-minute briefing to the media to say her government would continuereleasing prisonersdetained under Maduro.

"Let us not be afraid of diplomacy," Rodriguez said on Thursday.

But she also appeared to be threading a needle. A portrait of Maduro and his wife was displayed right next to Rodríguez as she spoke. She portrayed herself as defending Venezuela's national interests and sovereignty even as the country warmed up to the U.S.

"If one day, as acting president, I have to go to Washington, I will do so standing up, walking, not being dragged," she said. "I will go standing tall ... never crawling."

She spoke as Venezuelan opposition leaderMaría Corina Machadomet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington after being frozen out of the U.S. military intervention and subsequent discussions over Venezuela's political fate.

Machado, whose party is widely considered to havewon 2024 electionsdespite Maduro's claims of victory, said she presented her Nobel Peace Prize medal to Trump "as a recognition for his unique commitment with our freedom."

After a closed-door discussion with Trump, she greeted dozens of cheering supporters waiting for her near the gates, stopping to hug many of them.

"We can count on President Trump," she told them, prompting some to briefly chant "Thank you, Trump."

Machado did not elaborate on what she meant, and her role in Venezuela's political scene remains uncertain as Rodríguez's government has been effectively relieved of having to hold elections for the foreseeable future.

That's because when Venezuela's high court granted Rodríguez presidential powers on an acting basis, it cited a provision of the constitution that allows the vice president to take over for a renewable period of 90 days.

Machado's meeting with Trump received no coverage in Venezuela. State TV still pumps out a steady stream of pro-government images, including of the frequent state-orchestrated marches, where crowds of public employees chant pro-government slogans calling for Maduro's release and return.

UN chief lashes out at countries violating international law

UN chief lashes out at countries violating international law

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — TheUnited Nationschief lashed out Thursday at countries that violate international law and called theconcentration of power and wealthby the world's richest 1% "morally indefensible."

At the start of his final year at the helm of the United Nations,Secretary-General Antonio Guterrestold the U.N. General Assembly that its 193 member nations are facing "a world marked by self-defeating geopolitical divides, brazen violations of international law, and wholesale cuts in development and humanitarian aid."

All these forces are shaking the foundations of global cooperation at a time when it is needed most, said Guterres, whose second five-year term ends on Dec. 31.

"Some seek to put international cooperation on deathwatch," the secretary-general said. "I can assure you: We will not give up."

Guterres has repeatedlycriticized Russia for violating the U.N. Charter, which requires that every country respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations, by invading Ukraine in February 2022. He also has criticized the United States for its military operation in Venezuela tocapture President Nicolás Maduroand itsdeadly attacks on boatsin the Caribbean and Pacific that the U.S. says are carrying drugs.

"When leaders run roughshod over international law — when they pick and choose which rules to follow — they are not only undermining global order, they are setting a perilous precedent," Guterres said.

The U.N. chief said people around the world are watching the erosion of international law and the consequences of impunity. He pointed to "the illegal use and threat of force; attacks on civilians, humanitarian workers and U.N. personnel; unconstitutional changes of government; the trampling of human rights; the silencing of dissent; the plundering of resources."

He also criticized countries that don't pay their U.N. dues on time — another jab at the Trump administration, which did not pay its mandatory dues to the U.N.'s budgets in 2025.

Guterres warned of the dangers of a concentration of power and wealth in the world's richest 1%, who hold 43% of global financial assets.

"Increasingly, we see a world where the ultra-wealthiest and the companies they control are calling the shots like never before — wielding outsized influence over economies, information and even the rules that govern us all," he said.

Possible leaker to Washington Post told officers he ‘mishandled classified information,’ DOJ says

The longtime government contractor whose activity prompted the controversialsearch of a Washington Post reporter's homeacknowledged he mishandled classified information, prosecutors said, according to a court hearing transcript obtained by CNN.

Aurelio Perez-Lugones told federal investigators he was angry about "recent government activity," Assistant US Attorney Patricia McLane said during a detention hearing Monday.

"He admitted to federal officers that he mishandled classified information," McLane added.

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that an alleged leaker of information about Venezuela was in custody, although the Justice Department has not said it was in connection to Venezuela in court filings.

Perez-Lugones, a former member of the US Navy, had long been a rule-follower until he intentionally put classified information on papers in a lunchbox in his car and in his home beginning in October of last year until last week, when he was searched, McLane said.

He was arrested and charged by criminal complaint with one count of unlawful retention of national defense information late last week. He currently remains behind bars but is challenging his ongoing detention and appeared in court Thursday. He hasn't been formally indicted and thus hasn't entered a plea in response to the allegations. CNN has reached out to his attorneys for comment on his alleged comments to federal agents.

Perez-Lugones' attorneys pushed back Thursday on the government's assertions that he needed to be locked up because he is in their view a threat to national security, arguing that the charges are over the narrow allegation that he retained classified documents and do not, at this time, include allegations that he shared any classified information.

"Indeed, there are no allegations that Mr. Perez-Lugones – during his decades-long career in positions requiring a security clearance – has ever inappropriately used information that he had knowledge of,"they wrote in court papers.

The criminal investigation into Perez-Lugones has raised significant questions around the Justice Department's reasoning for subsequently searching the Post reporter's home and seizing her electronics – a step rarely taken and widely criticized by both executive branch and congressional figures in past administrations.

The Justice Department said that Perez-Lugones could be motivated to continue leaking information out of his unhappiness with US policy.

"He has expressed exasperation for the current conditions in America," McLane said at Monday's hearing, according to the transcript.

"Even if the court restricted his use of electronics and cell phones, he could communicate the information stored in his head. And the defendant has demonstrated not just the ability, but the motive to do so," she added.

More details on why the Justice Department was prompted this week to search a Washington Post reporter's home and seize her personal laptop, work laptop, a Garmin watch and her cell phone, extreme steps that have alarmed press freedom advocates, are still not available.

But one influential First Amendment advocacy group, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, asked a federal judge to unseal the Justice Department's applications to search the home of the reporter, Hannah Natanson.

"The public is therefore left with no means to understand the government's basis for seeking (and a federal court's basis for approving) a search with dramatic implications for a free press and the constitutional rights of journalists," the Reporters Committee's lawyerswrote in their filing late Wednesday.

Natanson hasn't been charged with any crime and the Washington Post has defended her reporting.

Trump administration officials, including the attorney general and FBI director, have condemned the press for obtaining national security information, setting off further alarm bells throughout First Amendment watchdogs and news organizations.

Teyana Taylor now says Leonardo DiCaprio wasn't speaking to her in viral Golden Globes moment. The mystery continues.

January 15, 2026
Teyana Taylor now says Leonardo DiCaprio wasn't speaking to her in viral Golden Globes moment. The mystery continues.

After initially saying that herOne Battle After Anothercostar Leonardo DiCaprio wasspeaking to herin a now-viral Golden Globes moment, Teyana Taylor said she's not so sure anymore.

At the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, DiCaprio — nominated for his starring role in Paul Thomas Anderson's action thriller — was seen speaking animatedly to someone off camera just before the show took a commercial break. The moment quickly went viral, with some pop culture sleuths trying to deduce what DiCaprio was saying with such flair — and to whom.

The verdict,per some internet lip-readers: "I was watching you with theKpopthing, you were like, 'Who's that, is that, Oh,Kpop.'" The wildly successful Netflix movieKPop Demon Hunterstook home the awardfor Best Animated Motion Picture at the ceremony.

Taylor initially toldAccess Hollywoodin a video posted on Wednesday that DiCaprio was speaking to her.

"I want to say we might have been talking aboutKPop Demon Hunters, because I was so happy when they won, because my kids loveKPop Demon Hunters," she said. "So I was over there just jamming, and I think he caught me jamming and that's when we started, like, talking about it."

But on Wednesday's episode ofThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Taylor backtracked, saying she actuallyhas no cluewho DiCaprio was chatting with.

"OK, so look, yesterday I thought I broke the Da Vinci Code, right?" Taylor told Fallon. "They was like, 'Yeah, so he was talking to Teyana.' Now,KPop Demon Hunterswon, and my kids' favorite song is 'Golden,' so I was, like, really excited."

Taylor said that when she saw how lip-readers were interpreting what DiCaprio said, she realized he likely wasn't talking to her.

"I had to call Leo. … I knew exactly whatKPopwas because Chase [Infiniti] taught me," she said of theOne Battle After Anotheractress. "So I was like, 'You can't be talking to me. Were you talking to me? Because I already told people you was talking to me.'"

She said that DiCaprio apparently had two conversations aboutKPop Demon Huntersthat night.

"KPop Demon Hunterswas just in his mouth all night," she joked, adding that it gave her a little "friendly jealousy."

Unfortunately, Taylor couldn't help solve the mystery, because DiCaprio doesn't even remember who he was talking to, she said.

Driver charged with assault after allegedly ramming ICE vehicles in December stop

January 15, 2026
Evidence photo from the indictment against Jerron Lopez-Sanchez.  (Eastern District Court of Texas)

Federal officials announced assault charges Thursday against a man they accuse of using a truck to ram into federal agents' vehicles during an immigration stop in Dallas last month.

Jerson Lopez-Sanchez, 28, was charged with three counts of assaulting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, according to a grand jury indictment filed in the Eastern District of Texas. He is not currently in custody and has yet to turn himself in, the indictment said.

Jay Combs, the interim U.S. attorney for the district, told reporters that the ICE agents were clearly identified as law enforcement at the time of the incident.

"When someone runs down an ICE officer — or any federal or local law enforcement officer — those deadly weapons act as battering rams," Combs said. "It is a violent attack and it will not be tolerated."

Lopez-Sanchez did not have any known criminal background or active warrants known to officials as of Thursday, Combs said.

The charges stem from a Dec. 1 incident in which ICE agents on patrol were asked do a "routine check" on a Chevrolet Silverado, the indictment said. Officials said five people were in the truck, but Lopez-Sanchez was the owner and driver of the Silverado.

Agents realized through a check of ICE's "internal systems" that Lopez-Sanchez was a foreign national with no legal entries or applications for lawful status, the indictment continued.

The indictment describes a traffic stop in which three ICE vehicles surround the Silverado, with a Jeep at the rear and a Chrysler van in front of the truck. The indictment alleges Lopez-Sanchez reversed the Silverado and rammed into the Jeep to make room to flee.

The indictment says agents pursued Lopez-Sanchez after he rammed the Jeep, including agents in the Chrysler van who attempted to position their vehicle to block Lopez-Sanchez.

Prosecutors allege the Silverado accelerated into the agents' van and "crossed over opposite lanes of traffic," causing "significant damage" to the van documented in photographs included in the indictment. The photos show a van with its front smashed in and apparent smoke coming from the engine block.

"The ramming was so violent that it deployed all the air bags in the vehicle," Combs said. "911 was called to assist the passenger in that vehicle, an ICE agent."

Officials declined to detail the injuries to agents in the incident, though the indictment describes the passenger as having injuries to his back and neck.

Combs said a third ICE vehicle followed the Silverado for about 10 minutes before Lopez-Sanchez stopped his truck on a median. Three of the people inside the Silverado were detained but Lopez-Sanchez and one other fled on foot, Combs said.

New Czech government of populist leader Andrej Babiš wins a mandatory confidence vote

New Czech government of populist leader Andrej Babiš wins a mandatory confidence vote

PRAGUE (AP) — The Czech Republic's new government led by populist Prime MinisterAndrej Babišwon a mandatory confidence vote in the lower house of Parliament on Thursday over its agenda aimed at steering the country away from supporting Ukraine and rejecting some key European Union policies.

Lawmakers voted 108-91 in favor of the coalition in the ballot that every new administration must win to govern.

Babiš, previously prime minister in two governments from 2017-2021, and his ANO, or YES, movement,won big in the country's October electionand formed a majority coalition with two small political groups, the Freedom and Direct Democracy anti-migrant party and the right-wing Motorists for Themselves.

The parties, which share admiration for U.S. PresidentDonald Trump, created a 16-member Cabinet.

The political comeback by Babiš and his new alliance with two small government newcomers are expected to significantly redefine the nation's foreign and domestic policies.

Unlike the previous pro-Western government, Babiš has rejected any financial aid for Ukraine and guarantees for EU loans to the country fightingthe Russian invasion,joining the ranks ofViktor Orbánof Hungary andRobert Ficoof Slovakia.

But his government would not abandon a Czech initiative that managed to acquire some 1.8 million much-needed artillery shells for Ukraine only last year on markets outside the EU on condition the Czechs would only administer it but would not contribute money.

The Freedom party sees no future for the Czechs in the EU and NATO, and wants to expel most of 380,000 Ukrainian refugees in the country.

The Motorists, who are in charge of the environment and foreign ministries, rejected the EUGreen Dealand proposed the revival of the coal industry.

US, Taiwan reach trade deal focused on semiconductors, US Commerce Department says

US, Taiwan reach trade deal focused on semiconductors, US Commerce Department says

WASHINGTON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - The U.S. and Taiwan clinched a trade deal on Thursday that cuts ​tariffs on many of the semiconductor powerhouse's ‌exports, directs new investments in the U.S. technology industry and risks ‌infuriating China.

The deal deepens the Trump administration's ties with Taipei at a critical time as China ratchets up pressure on the island and Washington has worked to avoid ⁠an all-out trade ‌war with Beijing.

Under the long-negotiated deal, Taiwanese chipmakers like TSMC that expand U.S. production ‍will get a lower tax rate for semiconductors they import into the U.S.

And a set of broad tariffs that apply ​to most other Taiwanese exports to the U.S. ‌will be lowered, from 20% to 15%. Generic pharmaceuticals, aircraft components and "unavailable natural resources" will face a 0% tariff, the Commerce Department said.

In exchange, Taiwanese technology companies, such as TSMC, are expected to make investments totaling ⁠at least $250 billion to increase ​production of semiconductors, energy and ​artificial intelligencein the United States. That includes $100 billion already committed by TSMC in 2025, with ‍more to come, ⁠according to U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

Taiwan will also guarantee another $250 billion in credit to make ⁠additional investments possible, the Trump administration said.

Or maybe, I don't know, but I don't like it," she said, revealing that she and Lee have very limited contact.The pair were marriedfrom 1995 to 1998 and share two sons, Brandon and Dylan. Their union, atumultuous, heavily tabloid-covered affair, has become the stuff of pop culture lore.

While Andersonquipped that her revelations to Cohen would get her "in big trouble," she added that she did believe her communication with Lee, the drummer for Mötley Crüe, would be better were he not married to Furlan.

"I have to stay out of it, and I shouldn't really be saying anything, but I do wish them the best," she said.

As for her current dating life,Andersonsaid that therumors she and co-star Liam Neesonsparked duringtheir press tour for "The Nakes Gun"over the summer were based on real "vibes."

"He's such an amazing guy, but you know, it takes two to tangle, right?" she said, adding that after shooting for the movie wrapped, they spent time "enjoying each other's company."

"He's a wonderful man. He's so supportive of my career, too, which is, you know, I've never had that. So, it's nice," Anderson told Cohen. "I feel like it's a healthy relationship. It's a friendship. It's a loving friendship, which is really nice. I really admire him."

Harry Stylesis ready to embrace his fans again.

After teasing his devotees withposters,videos, acryptic websiteand anintriguing song snippetsince the last week of 2025, the British pop icon has returned to make 2026 the year of Harry.

On Jan. 15, Styles rewarded his faithful "Harries" with the announcement of "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally," arriving March 6. The 12-track album will be executive produced by Styles' longtime collaborator Kid Harpoon.

Harry Styles will release

When did Harry Styles last release an album?

Styles' fourth album is his first new music since 2022's mega-smash "Harry's House," a synth-pop-funk masterpiece that earned him three Grammy Awards in 2023, including the prestigiousalbum of the year. The album added to Styles' already formidable chart accomplishments with the melodically rich hits "As It Was," "Late Night Talking" and "Music for a Sushi Restaurant."

Harry Styles' upcoming fourth album,

Styles, who turns 32 Feb. 1, supported that album with hisLove on Tour, a worldwide marathon thatplayed 173 datesbetween 2021 and 2023, including 20 shows at Madison Square Garden.

FBI searches Washington Post reporter's home for classified information, paper says

January 15, 2026
FBI searches Washington Post reporter's home for classified information, paper says

The FBI conducted a search of a Washington Post reporter's home Wednesday morning in search of alleged classified information,according to the newspaper.

The reporter, Hannah Natanson, was at her home in Virginia when FBI agents knocked on her door to execute the search warrant, the newspaper reported.

Agents seized a phone, two laptop computers – one of which was issued to her by the Washington Post – and a Garmin watch, according to the paper.

Investigators told Natanson that the warrant was part of an ongoing investigation into Aurelio Perez-Lugones, according to the newspaper. Perez-Lugones, whom an FBI affidavit describes as a government contractor, was charged in federal court in Maryland last week for alleged unlawful retention of national defense information, according to the affidavit, dated Jan. 9.

Federal prosecutor in Virginia fired, unwilling to take on Comey prosecution: Sources

During an appearance in U.S. District Court in Baltimore Thursday morning, Perez-Lugones' attorney told the court that the defense was "not prepared to move forward with this case today." Moments later, the judge asked Perez-Lugones if he was "consenting to detention," to which he replied, "yes, your honor."

The judge informed Perez-Lugones that he could seek release at another time. Perez-Lugones, clad in a maroon jail uniform, was placed back in handcuffs before being escorted out of the courtroom.

A Justice Department official told ABC News at the time of Perez-Lugones' arrest that he allegedly was communicating with the Washington Post reporter on his mobile device and sharing classified information via chat. The DOJ official further said that when authorities searched Perez-Lugones' home and car, they found classified documents related to national defense. The latter claim is included in the FBI affidavit.

Perez-Lugones searched systems at his work for classified information without authorization, including a report classified as top secret related to an unspecified foreign country, according to the affidavit. Perez-Lugones then allegedly removed the classified information from the secure compartmented information facility, or SCIF, where they were being kept, the affidavit said.

ABC News efforts to contact Perez-Lugones or his attorney were not immediately successful.

Natanson was informed by investigators that she is not the focus of the probe, the newspaper said, adding that she "covers the federal workforce."

The FBI did not respond to an ABC News request for information about the search. However, FBI Director Kash Patel said in asocial media postWednesday that the FBI "executed a search warrant of an individual at the Washington Post who was found to allegedly be obtaining and reporting classified, sensitive military information from a government contractor – endangering our warfighters and compromising America's national security. The alleged leaker was arrested this week and is in custody."

"[A]t the request of the Department of War, the Department of Justice and FBI executed a search warrant at the home of a Washington Post journalist who was obtaining and reporting classified and illegally leaked information from a Pentagon contractor. The leaker is currently behind bars," Attorney General Pam Bondiposted on XWednesday morning.

"I am proud to work alongside Secretary Hegseth on this effort. The Trump Administration will not tolerate illegal leaks of classified information that, when reported, pose a grave risk to our Nation's national security and the brave men and women who are serving our country," Bondi's statement continued.

News of the search drew swift reactions from press advocacy organizations.

"Physical searches of reporters' devices, homes, and belongings are some of the most invasive investigative steps law enforcement can take," the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press said in astatement, in part, calling the search "a tremendous escalation in the administration's intrusions into the independence of the press."

Treasury Secretary Bessent not happy about investigation into Powell, conveyed concerns to Trump: Sources

"While key facts are still emerging, it is extraordinarily rare – and deeply troubling – for law enforcement to search a journalist's home and seize reporting devices. That step represents a significant escalation in investigative tactics and one that should concern anyone who values a free and independent press," theNational Press Club saidWednesday.

"The government has a legitimate responsibility to protect classified information. That responsibility, however, does not override the constitutional protections that allow journalists to do their jobs on behalf of the public," the National Press Club statement continued. "When those protections appear to be at risk, it is something the country should take seriously."

Senior Hamas figure killed in Israeli air strike in Gaza

Senior Hamas figure killed in Israeli air strike in Gaza

CAIRO, Jan 15 (Reuters) - A senior figure in the armed wing of Hamas was among seven people killed on Thursday in a ​pair of Israeli airstrikes in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, ‌a Hamas source said.

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the ‌incident. The Hamas source said one of the dead was Mohammed Al-Holy, a local commander in the group's armed wing in Deir al-Balah.

Hamas condemned the strikes on the Al-Holy family, in a statement that did not mention Mohammed or his ⁠role in the group. It ‌accused Israel of violating the ceasefire deal in place since October, and attempting to reignite the conflict.

Health officials said the ‍six other dead in the incident included a 16-year-old.

Israel and Hamas have traded blame for violations of the ceasefire and remain far apart from each other on key issues, ​despite the United States announcing the start of the agreement's second phase on ‌Wednesday.

More than 400 Palestinians and three Israeli soldiers have been reported killed since the ceasefire took effect in October.

Israel has razed buildings and ordered residents out of more than half of Gaza where its troops remain. Nearly all of the territory's more than 2 million people now live in makeshift homes or ⁠damaged buildings in a sliver of territory ​where Israeli troops have withdrawn and Hamas has ​reasserted control.

The United Nations children's agency said on Tuesday that over 100 children have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire, including ‍victims of drone ⁠and quadcopter attacks.

Israel launched its operations in Gaza in the wake of an attack by Hamas-led fighters in October 2023 which killed 1,200 people, ⁠according to Israeli tallies. Israel's assault has killed 71,000 people, according to health authorities in ‌the strip, and left much of Gaza in ruins.

Federal agent shoots a man officials say assaulted an officer, sparking new protests in Minneapolis

For the second time in a week, a shooting involving an immigration agent sparked heated clashes in Minnesota – prompting the president tothreaten to use the Insurrection Act.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, federal agents were conducting a "targeted traffic stop" when a man, a Venezuelan national, resisted arrest and started to "violently assault" one of its officers.

During the struggle, DHS said, two people came out of a nearby apartment and attacked the officer using a snow shovel and a broom handle.

After the suspect got loose and joined the attack, the officer fired "defensive shots," striking the original suspect in the leg, DHS said.

The federal government's narrative could not immediately be verified.

The man who was shot was taken to a nearby hospital withnon-life-threatening injuries, the city of Minneapolis said.

Mayor: Don't take the bait

In the hours after Wednesday's shooting, protesters gathered near the scene and clashed with officers, who deployed tear gas canisters, pepper balls and what sounded like flash bangs before officials told people to "go home."

"I urge anyone that is at the scene to leave immediately," Police Chief Brian O'Hara said, calling the gathering an "unlawful assembly."

Exactly one week earlier, protests erupted in Minneapolis and spread across the country after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killedRenee Goodin her vehicle.

The Trump administrationquickly called the fatal shooting justifiedand said itdoesn't plan to investigatethe ICE officer's actions. Instead, the administration has soughtto investigate Good and her widow– leading to theresignations of six federal prosecutors.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said he understood the angst in the community Wednesday but gave a stern warning to anyone considering wrongful activity.

"For those who have peacefully protested, I applaud you," Frey said. "For those who are taking the bait, you are not helping, and you are not helping the undocumented immigrants of our city. You are not helping the people who call this place home."

Federal agent fired 'defensive shots,' DHS says

The events leading to Wednesday's shooting started around 6:50 p.m. During a traffic stop, the Venezuelan man fled the scene in his vehicle, crashed into a parked car, and ran away, DHS said.

"The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer," DHS said.

After two people from a nearby apartment came out and attacked the officer with a snow shovel and a broom handle, the suspect joined the attack, DHS said.

That's when the officer fired "defensive shots," striking the initial suspect in the leg, the agency said. The three people who assaulted the officer ran back into the apartment building and barricaded themselves, DHS said.

The agent involved is an ICE officer, US Customs and Border Protection Commander Gregory Bovino said. CNN has reached out to DHS for more information.

DHS did not say how long they were barricaded. But O'Hara said one person was shot during a "struggle" with law enforcement and later refused to come out of a home. That man was removed by federal agents, who entered the home and took the person to an ambulance.

The officer and initial subject are both in the hospital, and the two other people are in custody, DHS said. The statement did not detail how their detention unfolded.

'This is not sustainable'

Minneapolis leaders are asking the city — once again rocked by violence involving federal law enforcement — to remain calm.

"There's still a lot that we don't know at this time, but what I can tell you for certain is that this is not sustainable," Frey said, demanding again that ICE leave the city.

"This is an impossible situation that our city is presently being put in and at the same time, we are trying to find a way forward, to keep people safe, to protect our neighbors, to maintain order," Frey said.

"We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another."

Smoke hung in the air late Wednesday evening as officers deployed tear gas canisters, including one that struck CNN correspondent Whitney Wild. At one point, it appeared a member of the crowd threw one of the gas canisters back at agents, who then kicked it away.

Video from the CNN crew on scene showed two vehicles that appeared to have been recently ransacked and vandalized.

One car had the words "F*ck ICE" plastered over it, while another had "America land of the obey or die" written on it. Both were seen with their trunks open and debris scattered on the ground.

It was not immediately clear who the vehicles belonged to. CNN has reached out to both the FBI and DHS for more information.

A crowd also followed federal agents through the neighborhood, with a line of officers forming a wall behind yellow police tape to block off the road, around 10 minutes from downtown Minneapolis.

A CNN team on the ground saw a convoy of Minneapolis police and Minnesota State Patrol officers arrive. While local law enforcement officers have not actively taken part in immigration enforcement operations in the city, they have often been dispatched to the scenes of critical incidents and demonstrations to ensure public safety.

O'Hara told reporters Minneapolis police had secured the scene and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) are processing evidence.

A BCA mobile command center vehicle used by investigators to process crime scenes was visible at the location of the shooting Wednesday, flanked by federal agents securing the perimeter.

The presence of state investigators on scene at the latest shooting by a federal immigration officer was notable, given federal authoritieshad previously blocked the BCAfrom participating in the investigation of the shooting of Good.
