The U.S. is telling Americans to immediately leave Iran as major anti-regime protests rage on. The State Department bulletin is urging its U.S. citizens to leave Iran, prepare for communication blackouts, avoid demonstrations, stock up on essential equipment, and consider leaving by land via Armenia or Turkey. The bulletin comes just as President Trump is reportedly reviewing military options if the regime kills more protesters.        Democratic leaders in Minnesota are announcing a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security. The lawsuit is over the surge of additional ICE agents to Minneapolis following the deadly shooting involving an ICE agent. The state's Attorney General Keith Ellison says the agents are untrained and are making illegal arrests, causing chaos, and targeting people based on the color of their skin. Protests in Minneapolis have been ongoing since the shooting in Minneapolis last week.        President Trump is announcing tariffs on any country that does business with Iran. Trump posted, "Effective immediately, any Country doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a Tariff of 25-percent on any and all business being done with the United States of America." His order comes as violent anti-government protests in the country have continued over the ongoing economic crisis there. Trump is also reportedly reviewing military options if the regime kills more protesters.        Transgender athlete bans are at the center of cases the Supreme Court will take up tomorrow. Justices will hear two cases -- one out of Idaho, the other from West Virginia -- challenging whether states can ban transgender girls from participating in girls' and women's sports. The decisions on those cases will impact similar bans already enacted in about half of the U.S.        President Trump will tout his economic agenda in Detroit on Tuesday. That's according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who said Trump will kick-off his visit at a Ford factory that's producing more F-150 trucks because of the President's tariffs. He'll then deliver an address at the Detroit Economic Club where he'll talk about his economic successes that include lower mortgage rates and falling gas prices.        The final spot in the NFL Divisional Round will be decided tonight. The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Houston Texans for Monday Night Football. The winner will go on to face the New England Patriots in the Divisional Round next weekend.
