Last week’s ICE agent murder of Minnesota woman Renee Good continues to have ramifications across the US. Protests in cities around the country this weekend brought out thousands from the freezing temperatures of Minneapolis to warmer Los Angeles. A year plus of mounting anger against the brutality of American immigration enforcement is erupting in the streets. President Donald Trump and his administration have tried to put fault on people obstructing and interfering with ICE for the agency’s violence, but that excuse is wearing thin. And conservative allies in the media are spinning the death as the result of a domestic left-wing insurgency. But it’s not clear that’s going to work this time. Anger at the administration is already at a high and Trump’s political capital is waning. Whether that matters or not for a president who’s made clear he is uninterested in dissent is yet to be determined. “Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles.”—Becca Good, wife of Renee Good (the New Republic) (the New York Times) (the Flashpoint) In other newsTehran Tehran Protests in Iran have continued as the country appears to be nearing a boiling point. Iranians, angry at the government mainly over the economy, have been demonstrating for nearly three weeks. The protests have targeted government buildings and many in the crowds are demanding change. In response, Iranian authorities have moved to shut down the country’s internet and there are reports that hundreds of demonstrators have been killed by security services. The US is warning it may take military action, fueling the unrest. “I don’t think Iran is going to be free of protests going forward. Blood has been shed. People are very angry. And the Islamic Republic really has no way in which it could either improve the economic situation or their security issues or address their other grievances.”—Vali Nasr, Johns Hopkins University Professor of international affairs and Middle East studies (Al Jazeera) (the Washington Post) Eye out The UK is looking for a reset on Brexit, but Europe is wary. Any future agreement would require a so-called “Farage clause,” named for far right leader Nigel who has been an opponent of reconciliation with the EU. British interests want a more easy economic relationship with the union. Under the proposal, the UK would pay a heavy fine if the agreement was reversed—if, for example, Farage became Prime Minister. Farage called the proposal, if signed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, “a democratic outrage.” “Exit provisions are a basic staple of any international trade agreement. Pretending these routine legal contingencies constitute a democratic outrage is frankly exhausting.”—an official with Britain’s Labour Party (Irish Times) (Financial Times) Here’s your campaign of the day
