In Minnesota, some U.S. citizens have told CBS News they are carrying their passports as federal immigration officers continue to detain people in the city. CBS News' Lana Zak spoke to three people who explained why they are carrying the documentation with them. Immigration enforcement officers have been carrying out massive operations in the city for weeks, which have been met with protests. Tension and fears escalated after federal agents killed two people – both U.S. citizens – in Minneapolis this month. One woman, an American citizen from Hawaii, told Zak that she fears she and her children could be racial profiled, so she is having her kids carry their passports. A total of 3,000 ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents are now operating in the city and a top ICE official said Sunday that federal agents had carried out roughly 3,400 arrests in the area, though he did not say how many arrestees had criminal records. #ice #minnesota #immigration

Republican Oklahoma City, OK, Mayor David Holt said that “mayors are certainly caught in a little bit of an impossible situation” with federal law enforcement in cities. “When the federal government and federal law enforcement comes into your city, we are fully subservient to that in the eyes of the law, and we also believe in the rule of law. So, we get caught kind of in the middle of these tensions, and we need a federal government who will use discretion and restraint with that power,” Holt said. He added that he’s “encouraged” by signs of a tactical “pivot” by the Trump administration.

Germany's Chancellor Merz on Iran: We have always said that we are ready to participate. We have already sent the first minesweeping vessels and ships to the region. We are prepared, but we have not yet made a decision — neither in the federal government nor in parliament. We must, of course, also clarify the legal basis. That is a question we have not yet resolved conclusively. But the fact that we are fundamentally prepared to participate in safeguarding this peace has been the common position of the federal government for weeks already.

Germany’s Chancellor Merz: How will a possible AfD-led state government deal with minorities in Saxony-Anhalt? And if boundaries are crossed there, I can tell you that, from the federal government’s point of view, we will do everything to correct it. A state such as Saxony-Anhalt is required to remain loyal to the federal government in the essential areas of policy that are determined at the federal level. That applies, for example, to the entire field of immigration and policy concerning foreign nationals.

NEW: US Attorney F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli joined me to discuss his decision to arrest two SoCal medical workers on federal charges of interfering w/ ICE. “The politicians in California have emboldened people to stand up to ICE, they think it’s okay to interfere or obstruct,” Essayli said. “We’ve said this over and over again, if you get in our way, if you lay a hand on a federal agent, you will be arrested and you will be charged.” I asked if these federal charges are too heavy handed for these medical workers? “No, it’s the opposite,” Essayli told me. “We have to charge these cases. We have to set an example. We have to enforce the rule of law. Federal agents are off limits. Do not touch them.” (The at-large female worker was arrested after this segment).

A new misinformation campaign is being spread by Democrat influencers saying ICE agents aren’t real law enforcement officers Legal experts break it down “Are ICE agents real law enforcement with real law enforcement powers? A lot of people are saying they aren't, but that's wrong: Independent of what you think of them, under the law, which is what we talk about here, ICE agents are real federal law enforcement officers. They actually complete their training at the same giant federal facilities where other agencies like the Secret Service, DEA, and Marshals train. As for the law, their authority to investigate and make arrests for immigration crimes falls under these two federal statutes, sections 1226 and 1357. But because they are sworn federal law enforcement officers, they also have broad Title 18 authority. Title 18 being the the general code of federal criminal laws in the US. And this is a big point of misunderstanding for people. A lot of people think that ICE only has authority for immigration related offenses. And while it's true that ICE's main mission is to enforce immigration related crimes, they won't be stopped on a bank robbery. For example: They still technically have the legal authority to arrest for tons of different federal crimes committed in their presence. Because they are sworn federal law enforcement. This is how we see ICE agents in the news arresting for things like obstruction and assault, even though these aren't specific immigration offenses. And because tons of people in the comments are getting this wrong, this is just an important clarification for you to know.”

NEW: Federal officials are investigating the widow of Renee Nicole Good in their probe of the shooting, according to NBC News. Federal officials are reportedly narrowing in on Becca Good. “The federal investigation… is focusing more on Becca Good, including what officials said were her possible ties to activist groups, and less on Ross’ actions when he fired into Renee Good’s vehicle during an immigration operation last week,” NBC reported. Becca Good was reportedly seen taunting ICE officers before the incident. In a previous statement to the Washington Post, Good apparently admitted that she “stopped” to impede ICE operations. “On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns,” she told the outlet.
