ICE agent who shot Renee Good suffered internal bleeding, officials say
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot Renee Good last week in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.
It was unclear how extensive the bleeding was. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Ross' injury, but has not yet responded to CBS News' requests for more information. This story will be updated as we learn more.
Videos from the scene showed Ross walking away after the incident.
Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security secretary, previously acknowledged that Ross was taken to the hospital after the shooting and was released the same day. She said he was recovering from his injuries, describing him as an experienced law enforcement officer who believed he was defending himself and fellow agents.
"The officer was hit by the vehicle. She hit him. He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released," Noem told reporters on Jan. 7.

US, for 1st time in 50 years, experienced negative net migration in 2025: Report
The U.S. experienced negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in at least half a century as a result of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, according to a report released Tuesday by the Brookings Institution.
Although the administration has undertaken aggressive removal efforts, the negative number is mostly due to a significant drop in entries into the U.S., the report said.
"We estimate net flows of -295,000 to -10,000 for the year," the Brookings study stated. "Though a high degree of policy uncertainty remains, continued negative net migration for 2026 is also likely."

The United States needs Greenland for the purpose of National Security. It is vital for the Golden Dome that we are building. NATO should be leading the way for us to get it. IF WE DON’T, RUSSIA OR CHINA WILL, AND THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! Militarily, without the vast power of the United States, much of which I built during my first term, and am now bringing to a new and even higher level, NATO would not be an effective force or deterrent - Not even close! They know that, and so do I. NATO becomes far more formidable and effective with Greenland in the hands of the UNITED STATES.
Anything less than that is unacceptable. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT Truth Social

Greenland, Denmark .. both solid members of NATO and from everything I can tell were 100% happy to work with USA on Military bases ..
So, the question is .. what are we not seeing ?
Why this big stink ?
Greenland, not certain if I would be happy to be a territory of the USA, as often remote territories do get screwed by the US

But the Euro trash hate America like a resentful red headed stepchild who grifts from his momma's basement. They'd keep us weak enough and busy enough putting out their fires so as to not lock the basement door. We are nothing but a backstop to their self destructive ways. Resentment twists the minds of some people.

We can, .. we'll just lose all the bases and equipment we have forward deployed in the various NATO an other allied nations.
The result would be a massive win for China and Russia, so if that's how you like to play your cards ..

Sounds like Europe would throw a tantrum, quit NATO then allow China and Russia to carve them up. That'd be their choice. Good luck to them.
Personally, I think we should buy the votes of the Greenlanders. Military takeover is repugnant. Deal with the Greenlanders directly. Tell Denmark we prefer to talk directly with Greenlanders alone.
