The number of House Democrats backing articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has climbed past more than five dozen members. Rep. Robin Kelly's, D-Ill., office told Fox News Digital Wednesday that 67 co-sponsors have signed on to the bill. Axios first reported the co-sponsor count on Tuesday. Kelly announced her intent to impeach Noem last week following an encounter in which an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good after she allegedly struck him with her vehicle.

It's really hard to argue against the notion that public teachers' unions are little more than communist front groups. As we showed you the other day, the Chicago Teachers' Union (CTU) could find the time to travel to Venezuela and rub elbows with Maduro, but they couldn't be bothered to learn how to spell. It explains why kids in Chicago can't read or do math on grade-level. Now the teachers' union in St. Paul, Minnesota, is issuing demands to ICE and vowing to walk out.

President Donald Trump said one reason that the U.S. will "run" Venezuela and "indefinitely" control its oil sales is because "years ago" Venezuela "took our oil away from us" and "stole our assets." That's an oversimplification of what happened when Venezuela assumed greater control of its energy sector. In 2007, under then President Hugo Chávez, Venezuela continued the nationalization of its oil industry that began in 1976. The Chavez administration required the foreign oil companies still operating in the country to enter into new contracts giving Venezuela's state-owned oil and gas company majority control of their oil projects. The companies that did not agree to those conditions were expropriated, meaning their oil-related assets were seized by the Venezuelan government.

Federal prosecutors face a long, fraught road to convict deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife. It'll likely be years before a jury even begins to weigh whether Maduro is guilty of the charges against him. Before that happens, the court will have to grapple with a thicket of complex legal and geopolitical questions — whether his capture was legal, for example, and whether he was the legitimate president of Venezuela at the time. Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are charged with conspiracy to import cocaine, possession of machineguns and destructive devices and a related conspiracy charge. Maduro is additionally charged with narco-terrorism conspiracy. They have pleaded not guilty to all counts.

President Trump on Thursday threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act against Minnesota if the state declines to stop rioters from attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. Under the Insurrection Act, the president can deploy the military and federalize the National Guard in response to civil disorder or an armed rebellion against the US government. "If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me," Trump warned on Truth Social.

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to quell protests that disrupt federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota, a move that would enable the Republican to deploy troops, saying agents there are under attack. Fresh unrest erupted in Minneapolis on Wednesday night after a second person was shot by an ICE agent, who the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said had come under attack with a shovel and a broom handle, and there were clashes between protesters and law enforcement. The man shot was a Venezuelan national who the DHS said is in the U.S. illegally.

The U.N. Security Council scheduled an emergency meeting Thursday to discuss Iran's deadly protests at the request of the United States, even as President Donald Trump left unclear what actions he would take against the Islamic state. Tehran appeared to make conciliatory statements in an effort to defuse the situation after Trump threatened to take action to stop further killing of protesters, including the execution of anyone detained in Tehran's bloody crackdown on nationwide protests. Iran's crackdown on the demonstrations has killed at least 2,615, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported. The death toll exceeds any other round of protest or unrest in Iran in decades and recalls the chaos surrounding the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
