The Jan. 13 scuffle was captured in a pair of videos that showed Pretti shouting an expletive at the federal officers and struggling with them. At no point do the videos show Pretti reaching for the gun and it is unclear whether the federal agents saw it. The new videos immediately rekindled the national debate about the death of Pretti, 37, an intensive care nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center.

For them, he is not only the “America first man”, but also the hope of all orthodox evangelicals, a “man of God,” a “messenger of God.” [1]72% of American evangelicals support their president's policies. ‘Then you should be happy about President Trump’, I hear again and again. Donald Trump is no beacon of hope for the followers of Jesus in the world; if anything, quite the opposite. And some are already doing so, like one of his most ardent supporters, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, who turned away from Trump because she wants to follow Jesus, and Trump does not [4]. She is right about this: Trump does not follow Jesus.

As a combat soldier, I recognize a mission when I see one — not because it’s announced, but because it’s being carried out. In the span of weeks, ICE and Border Patrol operations in Minneapolis have resulted in the deaths of two Minnesotans. In over a year of combat in Iraq, my battalion of 500 soldiers did not kill a single person. That is precisely why soldiers and law enforcement officers hold codes of conduct so fiercely. AdvertisementIf ICE and the Border Patrol cannot operate within the Constitution, with restraint, transparency and accountability, then they are not fit to carry out their mission in Minnesota — or anywhere else.

AdvertisementFor example, nationwide, by 2035, the study projects that 60% (11.5 million adults) of Black women and 54% (14.5 million) of Latino women will suffer from obesity when compared with 47% (36.5 million) of white women. The study projects that by 2035, obesity rates among Latino and Black women in California will reach nearly 60%, compared with nearly 40% for their white counterparts. Additionally, Latino men in California could see rates over 50%, compared with nearly 40% for their white counterparts. Despite these disparities, California is projected to fare better than most other states, with its rates of obesity growing more slowly than the national average. Future efforts, Church says, should prioritize the Black and Latino populations identified by the study as most affected.

China has executed 11 members of the notorious Ming family criminal gang, who ran mafia-like scam centers in Myanmar and killed workers who tried to escape, Chinese state media reported on Thursday. At its peak, the group had 10,000 people working to conduct scams and other crimes, according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV. After years of complaints by relatives of trafficked scam center workers and growing international media attention, Beijing cracked down on the compounds in 2023. Family head Ming Xuechang, who had also served as member of a Myanmar state parliament, later killed himself while in custody, Chinese state media reported at the time. In Myanmar, scam compounds have been shielded by corruption and lawlessness that has long saturated the country’s border regions.
