Second ICE Shooting in Minneapolis as Protests Intensify; Denmark-US Rift Persists Over...
Summary
Minneapolis saw another violent clash tied to the federal immigration crackdown after DHS said an officer tried to arrest a man during a targeted traffic stop, chased him on foot, and was attacked by two others who came out of an apartment. The federal agent fired and struck one adult male, and both the officer and the man were hospitalized. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz condemned the enforcement surge as “a campaign of organized brutality,” while Police Chief Brian O’Hara said all three people were taken into custody.
The show also focused on the widening US-Denmark dispute over Greenland. Danish officials said a “fundamental disagreement” remains after meeting with JD Vance and Marco Rubio, even as they agreed to create a working group. The host said Denmark and several European countries are increasing their military and diplomatic presence around Greenland, including Germany sending more than a dozen personnel.
On Ukraine, President Trump again said Volodymyr Zelenskiy is the main obstacle to a peace deal and suggested Vladimir Putin is ready to make one. The program also covered Trump’s Federal Reserve probe, market weakness led by tech stocks, and reports that he may delay any strike on Iran.

How the episode opens
Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio, news. — Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. — And I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today.
Karen, we begin with new tensions in Minneapolis. There's been another shooting in the city a week after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed a woman and set off nationwide protests. The Department of Homeland Security says one of its officers tried to arrest a man during a targeted traffic stop, but he ran into a parked vehicle and fled on foot.
The officer caught up with him, but then Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says two other people came out of an apartment and started attacking the officer.
During the struggle, the federal agent discharged his weapon, striking one adult male. The adult male then retreated inside of the residence uh where he remained inside and refused to come out. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says all three were eventually taken into custody.
Both the officer and the man who was shot are in the hospital. DHS says that man is a Venezuelan who entered the US illegally. Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz is condemning the ongoing enforcement surge in his state.
Let's be very, very clear. This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government. Governor Tim Waltz delivered a prime time address to Minnesota right around the time of this latest shooting.
We want to turn to US foreign policy now, Nathan, and there's no end to the tensions between the US and Denmark after a high stakes meeting in Washington over Greenland. Danish foreign minister Lars Log Rasmusen says there's still a fundamental disagreement over who gets to control the semiautonomous territory.
