AI Summary

short article 1 min

US federal agents shot two people in Portland outside a hospital, a day after an ICE officer fatally shot a woman, Renee Nicole Good, in Minneapolis. Portland's mayor, Keith Wilson, has called for ICE to pause operations in the city pending an investigation, citing a lack of trust in the federal government's account of events. In response to Good's killing, some Democrats are considering using funding deadlines to restrain ICE. The Guardian has also debunked false claims surrounding the Minneapolis shooting. In other news, President Trump stated he would be "running Venezuela" for "much longer" than a year and suggested obtaining Greenland "may be a choice" between that and preserving the NATO alliance.
