(CNN) — A military recruiter in Minnesota, pointing to fears over the ongoing ICE operations in Minneapolis, promoted joining the National Guard to high school students highlighting a program that can offer the immediate family of service members some protection against deportation.

The email, sent last week with the subject line “I know [it] is scary out there,” directly addressed ICE detentions.

“All of you have heard about how ICE and how they are taking people without any consideration. … If you are born here and you are 17yrs old, and in a position, like many, where your parents may not be documented. They need you to help!” the email said.

The email pointed to the Parole in Place, or PIP, a program that is run through US Citizenship and Immigration Services. The program is not necessarily guaranteed; it offers parents, spouses, and children of service members protection from deportation on a case-by-case basis, in one-year increments, the USCIS website says. As of fiscal year 2025 it took an average of 4.5 months to process Parole in Place requests.

Tensions have flared in Minneapolis in recent weeks as protestors have faced off with federal law enforcement amid an immigration crackdown by the Trump administration, particularly after the killing of 37-year-old Renee Good earlier this month.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday that more than 10,000 “criminal illegal aliens” have been arrested in Minneapolis, though CNN could not independently verify that number.

One source familiar with the recruiting email told CNN it was sent to roughly 200 students at at least one high school in the Minneapolis area. The email immediately caused confusion and concern among the students who received it, the source said.

CNN attempted to contact the recruiter who sent the email, but did not receive a response.

Maj. Andrea Tsuchiya, a Minnesota National Guard spokesperson, acknowledged the email adding that PIP cannot be used until after someone enlists and while the military “may assist with the process … it is driven by the service member and often requires a lawyer.”

“There was no command directive to share information about Parole in Place, but recruiters often do share information about programs that individuals are eligible for either during the recruiting process or after enlistment,” Tsuchiya said.

The Pentagon referred questions on Parole in Place to USCIS. USCIS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

There have previously been concerns in the military about promoting the program, given the Defense Department does not have control over who is admitted or approved. The Marine Corps, for example, told recruiters last year to stop promoting the program or “imply that the Marine Corps can secure immigration relief for applicants or their families,” a Marine Corps spokesperson previously told Military.com.

Recruiters often point potential recruits to programs and benefits that could make a difference to them individually during conversations about joining the military. One recruiter familiar with the Parole in Place program, however, told CNN it would be more effective for a recruiter to speak with school officials about the program before going directly to the students.

“The problem is the recruiter leads his email with the threat of ICE taking people ‘without any consideration,’” the recruiter who spoke to CNN said. “He then goes on to explain it’s basically the student’s job to protect their parents by enlisting. That’s intimidating, it’s predatory, and in my opinion an unethical way to do business in schools and with community partners.

Here’s what else you might have missed during your busy day.

5 things

1⃣ Midterms preview

President Donald Trump has been back in the White House for a year now, and people’s opinions of him are likely to have a heavy impact on the midterm elections. CNN’s John King talked to voters in Iowa about how they’re feeling.

2⃣ A sense of ‘deja vu’

Some Mississippi residents remember when KKK members bombed the state’s largest synagogue in 1967. Nearly 60 years later, the community is reliving that horror after an arson attack damaged the Beth Israel Congregation temple.

3⃣ Cool solution

As climate change pushes temperatures higher around the world, demand for air conditioning is on the rise. These new units could bring big changes.

4⃣ Ancient math?

Designs painted on pottery up to 8,000 years ago could be the first evidence of humans doing math. Researchers say bowls feature flowers with petals suggesting a geometric sequence rooted in symmetry and repetition.

5⃣ Stuck on 2016

People are sharing fond memories from the era of face “baking” and #ImWithHer, when some of the biggest national dramas pitted Kim Kardashian against Taylor Swift. But why the fixation?

La final de la Copa Africana de Naciones (AFCON) , el partido para decidir el mejor equipo de fútbol del continente, terminó en un caos total el domingo, después que los aficionados causaron una gran alboroto en las tribunas y los jugadores abandonaron la cancha en protesta, producto de una noche que mostró lo mejor y lo peor de este deporte.

Al final, Senegal venció a Marruecos por 1-0 para levantar el trofeo, pero el marcador minimiza el caos que se produjo en lo que podría decirse que fue la final más dramática en la historia del fútbol.

Con tantos puntos conflictivos y momentos de locura para analizar, CNN Sports analiza qué sucedió exactamente en una noche tanto salvaje como memorable.

La final se disputó entre los dos equipos mejor clasificados de África. Marruecos, anfitrión del torneo, era el favorito frente a Senegal, cuya última victoria en la Copa Africana de Naciones fue en 2021.

El juego también contó con algunos de los mejores jugadores del mundo, con la exestrella del Liverpool Sadio Mané encabezando a los Leones de la Teranga y la superestrella del Paris Saint-Germain Achraf Hakimi liderando a los Leones del Atlas.

Si bien el partido comenzó lento, había una corriente subyacente de tensión en torno a la final y ese sentimiento se desbordó de la manera más espectacular en los minutos finales del tiempo reglamentario.

Con el marcador 0-0, Senegal creyó haber marcado el gol de la victoria cuando Ismaïla Sarr envió el balón sobre la línea en el segundo minuto del tiempo añadido al final del partido.

Pero las celebraciones se convirtieron rápidamente en furia para los jugadores senegaleses después de que el árbitro Jean-Jacques Ndala anulara el gol tras considerar que Abdoulaye Seck había cometido una falta sobre Hakimi en la previa. La decisión pareció leve, y todos los que vestían la camiseta verde de Senegal estaban indignados.

Esas sensaciones se acentuaron minutos después cuando el árbitro concedió a Marruecos un polémico penalti, tras la entrada de El Hadji Malick Diouf a Brahim Díaz.

A pesar de quedar impune al principio, la falta fue detectada por el VAR, y Ndala finalmente señaló el punto de penalti tras revisar las repeticiones. Fue un penalti leve, quizás, pero se entendía por qué el árbitro lo pitó.

Pero esa decisión encendió la mecha.

Los Leones de la Teranga , liderados por el entrenador Pape Thiaw, estaban furiosos con la decisión, y las protestas del equipo se extendieron al campo, impidiendo que se ejecutara el penalti.

Mientras jugadores, árbitros y cuerpo técnico se enfrentaban en el campo, un grupo de aficionados senegaleses en un extremo del estadio también inició una violenta protesta, saltando de las gradas antes de enfrentarse con los guardias. Fue necesaria la presencia de la policía y el personal de seguridad para evitar que los hinchas entraran corriendo al campo.

Luego, en escenas sensacionales, Thiaw ordenó a sus jugadores que abandonaran el campo como protesta. Algunos de su equipo obedecieron y desaparecieron en el vestuario, mientras que otros se quedaron en el campo para intentar calmar la situación.

Entre los que permanecieron en el campo, el principal fue el astro senegalés Mané, quien había declarado que este sería su último partido de la Copa Africana de Naciones con la selección nacional. El delantero parecía decidido a que su equipo terminara el partido y se le vio animando a sus compañeros a volver al campo.

Tras una breve conversación con el exjugador senegalés El Hadji Diouf en la grada, Mané corrió hacia el túnel de vestuarios para exigir al resto del equipo que volviera al campo. Finalmente, le hicieron caso y el partido se rea
