Around 15-hundred troops have been ordered to prepare potential deployment to Minnesota amid ongoing anti-ICE protests. President Trump has said he may invoke the Insurrection Act as a result of the unrest, however on Friday, he said he may not use it any more. Meanwhile, the Justice Department said it will investigate protesters who took part in disrupting a church service Sunday in St. Paul, where the pastor allegedly is also an ICE field office director.        Using force to help acquire Greenland isn't being ruled out by President Trump. In a phone interview with NBC News, Trump was asked if the U.S. would use force to seize the Danish territory, to which he said "no comment." Over the weekend, the President said he would put ten-percent tariffs in place on Denmark and other European countries until a deal was reached for the U.S. to get Greenland.        Millions could feel the impact of a disruptive winter storm that could last into the weekend. Monday is expected to be the coldest day for the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes regions while Tuesday will be the coldest day of the week for the Northeast. The cold and snow in the first half of this week is not likely to be record-setting, but the next round of weather shaping up for later this week could be both record-setting and disruptive.        Three high-ranking Catholic cardinals are taking a dig at the United States' foreign policy. The archbishops of Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Newark, N.J. issued a joint statement reiterating Pope Leo's remarks to the Vatican calling for a return to "a diplomacy that promotes dialogue." The cardinals argued against peace being "sought through weapons as a condition for asserting one's own dominion."        Nearly 40 people are dead after a high-speed train crash in Spain. The train came off its track Sunday evening local time and then crashed into another high-speed train leaving dozens injured as well. It's the deadliest crash in the country since 2013.        A national champion will be crowned tonight in Miami. The top-ranked Indiana Hoosiers are set to face off against the Miami Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium. President Trump is scheduled to attend the game, which is set to kickoff at 7:30 Eastern.
