Demonstrations have persisted after 37-year-old Renee Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent during an immigration enforcement operation, a shooting that federal officials have defended as self-defense while critics say video and other evidence contradict that account. Meanwhile, podcaster Joe Rogan has publicly criticized ICE operations under the Trump administration.        Human rights activists say over 25-hundred people have been killed by Iranian authorities in the crackdown against the massive protests sweeping the country. The foreign minister of France is calling it "the most violent repression in Iran's contemporary history."        Top White House officials are meeting with the foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland as President Trump ramps up his talk of acquiring Greenland.
