Tensions are rising in Minneapolis in the aftermath of Renee Nicole Good's death. The 37-year-old woman was shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer yesterday. Jackson Proskow reports from Minneapolis on the competing narratives from federal and Minnesota officials putting the community on edge, and Dawna Friesen looks at what we're learning about the victim. Venezuela's interim government says it will release a "significant number" of foreigners and political prisoners, including opponents of captured leader Nicolás Maduro's regime. Jeff Semple reports from neighbouring Colombia on the reaction to the pending releases, and what it might mean for Venezuela's shifting political situation. Redmond Shannon reports on the White House's increasingly aggressive rhetoric on Greenland, and what reasons the U.S. could have for pursuing the territory besides security. Hundreds of homes are uninhabitable on Pimicikamak Cree Nation, Man., after a five-day power outage caused pipes to freeze and burst. Melissa Ridgen visits one of the houses needing repairs; explains why another First Nation is about to be evacuated; and how these situations are highlighting the need for better infrastructure in Indigenous communities. Touria Izri looks at what could happen to people once they stop taking weight loss drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy.
