Minnesota leaders are being accused by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem of "inflaming" the public after last week's deadly ICE shooting. Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," Noem said Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have politicized and inappropriately talked about the situation. Her comments come as protests were held in major cities across the country in response to the fatal shooting.        President Trump says "strong options" are being considered as protests in Iran continue. He was asked Sunday on Air Force One if Iran was crossing a red line, saying that he felt like they were starting to, and that there were "some people killed that aren't supposed to be killed." Trump added Iranian leaders called him on Saturday wanting to negotiate.        An ex-husband has been taken into custody in connection with the double-murder of an Ohio dentist and his wife.
