Minnesota officials are pushing back on Homeland Security saying a woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent in self defense. DHS said the woman was protesting ICE when she allegedly rammed her car into federal agents. However, the Democratic mayor of Minneapolis disputes that, saying the woman was fleeing the scene, while Minnesota Governor Tim Walz added the state will make sure the investigation is full and fair.        Two Venezuela-linked oil tankers have been taken control of by the U.S. In a post on X, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said one was seized in the North Atlantic and another was seized near the Caribbean. Both vessels were either last docked in Venezuela or were heading to the country.        Stocks are mixed to end the day on Wall Street. It comes as new data showed private employers only added 41-thousand jobs in December. The Dow Jones estimated the private sector would add around 48-thousand jobs. At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 466 points to 48-996. The S&P 500 fell 23 points to 69-20. The Nasdaq gained 37 points to 23-584.        President Trump says he's looking at a "range of options" for acquiring Greenland. The discussions come as Trump revamps his interest in expansionist foreign policy in the days following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the matter in a statement to CNN and added that "utilizing the U.S. Military is always an option at the Commander in Chief's disposal."        A viral post related to Uber Eats has been revealed to be an AI-generated hoax. The thread posted to Reddit says an the food service lowers drivers' pay based on customer's tips as having a "desperation score" to see how often drivers accept low-paying orders. The President of Uber and CEO of Doordash both say the claims are made up and the post was taken down by Reddit moderators.        Netflix has revealed what movies and shows fans can look forward to this year. The streaming giant dropped a four-minute video Wednesday that teases some of the more than 160 shows and movies confirmed to be on the way. They include "Enola Holmes 3," season 4 of "Bridgerton" and the "Peaky Blinders" movie.
