Two major American cities are on edge following a pair of high-profile incidents involving federal agents. Protests have not stopped in Minneapolis since Wednesday's deadly shooting of a 37-year-old woman by an ICE agent. In Portland, ICE agents opened fire on an alleged Venezuelan gang member yesterday, sending two people to the hospital.        President Trump says Venezuela is releasing large numbers of political prisoners following the recent U.S. military operation that removed President Nicolas Maduro from power. Trump called it a "smart gesture," and said "Because of this cooperation, I have canceled the previously expected second wave of attacks."        Authorities in Iran are cutting telephone lines and internet access as severe economic conditions fuel angry protests across the country. Videos of the protests show demonstrators blocking roads and setting fires in Tehran, with some crowds calling for the removal of Iranian leader Ayatollah Khamenei.        Luigi Mangione will be back in court today. The 27-year-old man accused of fatally shooting a healthcare executive on a New York City sidewalk will be in a Manhattan courtroom for a pretrial hearing. Mangione is facing nine counts including second-degree murder, and is pleading not guilty.        A new study says people who stop taking weight-loss injections are likely to regain their weight within two years. The new research looked at the weight-loss medications such as Ozempic, and found those who take the drugs often start regaining weight within a month after stopping the shots, and that all of the user's weight loss will likely come back within two years.        Bruno Mars has released his first solo single in nearly ten years. "I Just Might" is the first single from his upcoming album "The Romantic," which comes out February 27th. It's Mars' first solo album since 2016. The 16-time Grammy winner will support the album with a major tour starting April 10th in Las Vegas.
