(CNN) — Waves of Minneapolis residents filled frigid city blocks and packed the Timberwolves NBA arena Friday to demand ICE leave their neighborhoods, even as the immigration official orchestrating the crackdown promised detentions would not let up.

Protests touched virtually every corner of the city Friday. Storm-weathered Minnesotans endured subzero temperatures at a downtown march, airport protest, arena rally and saw an “economic blackout” in which businesses closed their doors to boycott ICE’s presence.

But Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino doubled down on the unrelenting detention effort, which has at times swept up legal residents, US citizens and even a preschooler. He vowed earlier Friday to continue the government’s search for “criminal aliens.”

“We’re going to take them off the streets wholesale,” Bovino said at a news conference. “It’s on. We won’t quit.”

Children and families are among those caught up in the mass deportation campaign. A 5-year-old boy was detained alongside his father in their driveway earlier this week, adding to the mounting list of controversial encounters over which federal and state officials are clashing.

Fallout continues over the ICE shooting of Minneapolis mother Renee Nicole Good, as two sources tell CNN an FBI agent originally tasked with an investigation into the encounter has resigned.

As tensions reach a fever pitch in Minnesota, Maine has found itself to be the latest state in the crackdown crosshairs. The Trump administration, continuing its penchant for meme-ready monikers, has dubbed the effort “Operation Catch of the Day” and announced more than 100 arrests this week.

Here’s the latest:

• FBI agent investigating fatal ICE shooting resigns: The FBI agent who was assigned to work with state investigators to look into the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. Soon after the agent opened a civil rights investigation into the officer, she was ordered to reclassify it as an investigation into an assault on the officer. It comes amid a much larger purge of seasoned FBI agents across several states, multiple sources familiar with the departures told CNN.
• 5-year-old remains in custody: There are dramatically conflicting accounts over what led up to the detention of preschooler Liam Conejo Ramos alongside his father. Amid concern for the boy’s welfare, Bovino, the Border Patrol official, said Friday his agents are “experts in dealing with children.” The child and his parent have been sent to a family detention facility in Texas. Liam is now the fourth child from his school district to be taken away by ICE in just the past two weeks, Columbia Heights Public Schools said.

Beijing (AP) — The Chinese military’s top general is being investigated for suspected serious violations of discipline and law the Defense Ministry said Saturday.

Zhang Youxia, the senior of the two vice chairs of the powerful Central Military Commission, is the latest figure to fall in a long-running purge of military officials.

Analysts believe the purges are designed both to reform the military and to ensure loyalty to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, who also chairs the military commission. They are part of a broader anti-corruption drive that has punished more than 200,000 officials since Xi came to power in 2012.

Another member of the commission, Liu Zhenli, has also been placed under investigation by China’s ruling Communist Party, a Defense Ministry statement said. Liu is the chief of staff of the commission’s Joint Staff Department. The commission is the top military body in China.

The statement did not provide any details on the alleged wrongdoing.

Zhang, who is 75, joined the People’s Liberation Army in 1968 and is a general from its ground forces.

The Communist Party expelled the other vice chair of the commission, He Weidong, last October and replaced him with commission member Zhang Shengmin.

Minneapolis (CNN) — During Januarys here, the days are dark and short, the ground is cold and hard, and the subzero air pierces and cuts.

Still, life moves forward.

Frozen lakes take center stage for popular festivals, sporting events and gatherings. A mother strolls to the local grocer with her kid and toboggan in tow. Friends gather outside a local taproom for a game of curling. Strangers lend a hand and a little muscle to push cars out of snowbanks. The daily shovel of the front walk allows for some “cold-enough-for-yas” with the neighbors.

But the small-town-like tranquility that runs deep through this city of neighborhoods has been shattered in recent weeks.

Thousands of armed and masked federal agents have been deployed to Minnesota, with Minneapolis serving as the epicenter of the largest immigration enforcement operation in US history.

Daily life has been upended at schools, hospitals, stores and restaurants and in neighborhoods where sidewalks were once well-trodden with runners, people walking their dogs, families taking daily strolls and children heading back home after getting dropped off by the bus. Days are pockmarked with flare-ups and altercations between federal agents and residents.

Neighborhood chat channels document how friends, coworkers and schoolchildren were here one day and gone the next.

The watershed moment occurred earlier this month, at 9:37 a.m. on a Wednesday, when resident Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

Once again, the eyes of the world were on Minneapolis, a city and metro area that has had more than its fair share of high-profile and tragic events in recent years – among them the murder of George Floyd at the knee of a city policeman, and the unrest that followed; the assassination of state Rep. Melissa Hortman, who was killed alongside her husband and dog; and the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and school that left two students dead and dozens injured.

Woven through the city are vestiges of that trauma and strife from years past and from days and weeks present. Yard signs, flags, murals, memorials, ribbons and graffiti silently speak volumes of what this city and region have faced, conveying the idea that life here doesn’t move on from grief but instead moves forward hand in hand with it and forever changed by it.

“Es muy irrespetuoso”.

Así se siente el veterano danés Gerth Sloth Berthelsen, criado en Groenlandia, sobre el comportamiento reciente de Estados Unidos.

Berthelsen sirvió junto a las fuerzas estadounidenses en una misión de paz a Macedonia del Norte entre 1996 y 1997. Ahora, es uno de los varios veteranos que se muestran desconcertados por la hostilidad de un aliado cuyos soldados fueron en su día sus compañeros de armas.

Berthelsen, que es mitad groenlandés y ahora trabaja en un rol no combatiente para el ejército en Dinamarca, describió cómo los sentimientos de miedo, inquietud y traición han estado permeando las comunidades en ambos lugares por las repetidas amenazas de la administración Trump de “adquirir” Groenlandia antes de retractarse esta semana.

Apenas horas después de exigir “derecho, título y propiedad” del territorio autónomo danés el miércoles, el presidente Donald Trump dio un giro de 180 grados y anunció que había “formó el marco de un futuro acuerdo” sobre Groenlandia tras una reunión con el jefe de la OTAN, Mark Rutte.

Los aliados europeos recibieron con agrado la noticia del marco, pero algunos advirtieron que el daño a la relación entre la UE y EE.UU. ya está hecho, incluso después de que Trump se retractara de las amenazas de golpearlos con aranceles comerciales adicionales debido a su oposición de rechazo a su plan.

Mientras tanto, el ánimo en Nuuk y Copenhague sigue tenso mientras groenlandeses y daneses luchan con una nueva realidad en la que Estados Unidos se ha convertido en una amenaza.

“Cuando experimentas este tipo de comportamiento hostil, te quedas un poco impactado”, declaró Berthelsen a CNN en una entrevista la semana pasada. “Cuando viene de un aliado, es incomprensible que eso pueda suceder”.

El ejército danés tiene una larga trayectoria de servicio junto a Estados Unidos: en misiones de la OTAN, misiones de paz de las Naciones Unidas y en los conflictos liderados por Estados Unidos en Iraq y Afganistán.

Dinamarca esta en vigor el servicio militar obligatorio tanto para hombres como para mujeres, pero el pequeño número de soldados groenlandeses que se unen a las fuerzas de defensa danesas son todos voluntarios.

El Reino de Dinamarca sufrió importantes bajas en Afganistán, donde sus fuerzas se desplegaron en la provincia de Helmand, uno de los escenarios de guerra más mortíferos.

La participación de Dinamarca comenzó en 2001, tras los atentados del 11 de septiembre contra Estados Unidos, y en los años posteriores desplegó a casi 20.000 efectivos a través de la Fuerza Internacional de Asistencia para la Seguridad (ISAF).

Al menos 41 soldados daneses murieron allí, una tasa per cápita muy alta en comparación con las demás naciones que se unieron a la fuerza, dado que Dinamarca y sus territorios autónomos tienen una población de tan solo 6 millones.

El país sufrió más bajas en la guerra de Iraq, con el fallecimiento de ocho soldados, según una investigación del Comando Médico de Defensa Danés.

“Muchos de los veteranos con los que trabajamos han servido junto a estadounidenses, y no hay ningún respeto, absolutamente ningún, por su servicio y su cargo”, agregó Berthelsen.

Él y su compañero Mads Rasmussen presiden conjuntamente el Veteranprojekt Grønland, una organización con sede en Dinamarca que apoya a los veteranos mediante conexiones sociales y rehabilitación en la naturaleza.

El grupo organiza un viaje anual a Groenlandia para el Día de los Veteranos, donde se reúnen con exsoldados y groenlandeses en servicio.

“Groenlandia pertenece al pueblo groenlandés. Al

NORTH SHORE, Calif. (KUNA) – Por segundo año consecutivo el condado de Riverside esta realizando una encuesta para conocer la opinión de los residentes respecto a como se debe de invertir el presupuesto que proviene de la recaudación de impuestos.

En el pasado ejercicio, participaron más de 24mil personas de las cuales unicamente cerca de mil personas fueron hispanohablantes.

Aunque una de las principales solicitudes de la comunidad es invertir en mejorar las vialidades, residentes de los poblados de Mecca, Thermal y North Shore requieren la llegada de más centros comerciales para poder obtener insumos de uso diario, alimentos y artículos de higiene personal, ya que alegadamente comentan tener que desplazarse hasta ciudades como Coachella e Indio, perdiendo hasta una hora en transportarse de una poblado a otro.

“Ahora más que nunca es crucial que el público de habla hispana haga oír su voz y tome parte de las decisiones a nivel gubernamental, esta encuesta está conformada de 15 preguntas, muchas de ellas, por ejemplo, le piden dónde cree usted que se deben invertir más fondos, salud pública, seguridad pública e infraestructura”, comentó Yaoska Machado, portavoz del condado de RIverside.

Por su parte el Hospital Palo Verde en Blythe, se vio beneficiado por el condado, en voz de la presidenta de la mesa directiva, Carmela Garnica, comenta que fue gracias a los impuestos.
