>What we know:

>FOX 9 confirmed Ross is the ICE officer who fatally shot Good in south Minneapolis on Wednesday. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to FOX 9 the officer who fired his weapon on Wednesday is the same officer who was dragged 50 yards by a suspect in a vehicle in Bloomington in June.

>Vice President J.D. Vance on Thursday commented on the officer's history. He said the ICE officer "deserves a debt of gratitude," citing the earlier incident in which he was injured by a moving vehicle.

>"This is a guy who’s actually done a very, very important job for the United States of America," Vance said. "He’s been assaulted. He’s been attacked. He’s been injured because of it."

>According to court documents, the officer was part of a team that was attempting to apprehend a man in the United States illegally. He broke a window and reached into the vehicle, attempting to open the door when the driver sped off. He was then dragged by the vehicle.

The U.S. took the unprecedented step Monday of cutting the number of vaccines it recommends for every child — a move that leading medical groups said would undermine protections against a half-dozen diseases.

The change is effective immediately, meaning that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will now recommend that all children get vaccinated against 11 diseases. What’s no longer broadly recommended is protection against flu, rotavirus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, some forms of meningitis or RSV. Instead, protections against those diseases are only recommended for certain groups deemed high risk, or when doctors recommend them in what’s called “shared decision-making.”

Trump administration officials said the overhaul, a move long sought by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., won’t result in families who want the vaccines losing access to them, and said insurance will continue to pay. But medical experts said the decision creates confusion for parents and could increase preventable diseases.

States, not the federal government, have the authority to require vaccinations for schoolchildren. While CDC requirements often influence those state regulations, some states have begun creating their own alliances to counter the Trump administration’s guidance on vaccines.

The change comes as U.S. vaccination rates have been slipping and the share of children with exemptions has reached an all-time high, according to federal data. At the same time, rates of diseases that can be protected against with vaccines, such as measles and whooping cough, are rising across the country.

Review came at the request of President Trump

The U.S. government issued a new security alert Saturday urging Americans in Venezuela to leave the country immediately, citing security concerns and the U.S. government’s inability to provide emergency assistance, according to the U.S. Embassy Caracas.

"U.S. citizens in Venezuela should leave the country immediately," the embassy said in a Jan. 10 security alert.

The warning cited reports of armed groups operating on Venezuelan roads.

The U.S. government issued a new security alert Saturday urging Americans in Venezuela to leave the country immediately, citing security concerns and the U.S. government’s inability to provide emergency assistance, according to the U.S. Embassy Caracas.

"U.S. citizens in Venezuela should leave the country immediately," the embassy said in a Jan. 10 security alert.

The warning cited reports of armed groups operating on Venezuelan roads.

The alert comes as international travel options have reopened.

"As international flights have resumed, U.S. citizens in Venezuela should leave the country immediately," the embassy said.

The U.S. Department of State continues to list Venezuela at its highest travel warning level.

"Venezuela has the highest Travel Advisory level – Level 4: Do Not Travel – due to severe risks to Americans," the State Department said.

Those risks include "wrongful detention, torture in detention, terrorism, kidnapping, arbitrary enforcement of local laws, crime, civil unrest, and poor health infrastructure," according to the State Department.

The embassy said Americans in Venezuela should not expect consular assistance.

"In March 2019, the U.S. Department of State withdrew all diplomatic personnel from U.S. Embassy Caracas and suspended operations," the embassy said. "The U.S. government continues to be unable to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Venezuela."

WESTWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Chaos erupted after a driver allegedly plowed a U-Haul into a crowd during an anti-Iranian regime rally near the federal building in Westwood on Sunday afternoon.

As AIR7 arrived at the scene shortly before 3:30 p.m., a large group of people was seen surrounding the U-Haul. Some protesters were seen smashing windows, with tensions quickly escalating.

Eventually, law enforcement at the scene pulled a man from the U-Haul and appeared to take him into custody. As police walked the man away, some protesters were seen trying to punch him and hit him with flag poles.

Eyewitness News later learned that the man allegedly drove the U-Haul into the crowd during the planned protest. Video from the ground shows the moment he drove through, angering the crowd.

The video shows the side of the U-Haul says, "NO SHAH. NO REGIME. USA: DON'T REPEAT 1953. NO MULLAH." It appeared the protesters ripped several signs off of the U-Haul.

Los Angeles police were at the scene, working to control the crowd.

LAPD said two people were evaluated at the scene but declined medical treatment. Police confirmed that no ambulances were called to the protest.

The California Highway Patrol was requested to help with traffic control, shutting down the 405 Freeway ramp on Wilshire.

LAPD eventually issued a dispersal order, and shortly before 5 p.m., the large crowd was much smaller, with only about 100 protesters still at the scene.

Nationwide protests in Iran sparked by the Islamic Republic's ailing economy are putting new pressure on its theocracy as it has shut down the internet and telephone networks.

WASHINGTON, Jan 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is freezing more than $10 billion in federal childcare and family assistance funds to California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said, citing what it called concerns about fraud and misuse.
The Trump administration has threatened federal funding cuts to organizations and states over a number of issues since taking office - ranging from alleged fraud in programs in states governed by Democrats to diversity initiatives and pro-Palestinian university protests against U.S. ally Israel's assault on Gaza.
On Tuesday, HHS said it notified the five states, all with Democratic governors, that its freeze applied to the "Child Care and Development Fund" worth $2.4 billion, the "Temporary Assistance for Needy Families" worth $7.35 billion, and the "Social Services Block Grant" worth $869 million.
In a statement, the department said the states' access to those funds would be restricted pending further review.
Democrats condemned the plan.
"Our kids should not be political pawns in a fight that Donald Trump seems to have with blue state (Democratic states) governors," New York Governor Kathy Hochul said, adding the step was "vindictive" and "cruel." Illinois Governor JB Pritzker also called the step "wrong and cruel."
California Governor Gavin Newsom's office said that since taking office, Newsom has blocked over $125 billion in fraud.
In recent weeks, the Trump administration has singled out Minnesota, alleging rampant fraud is being committed by immigrants in the welfare system and in social service programs.

Vice President JD Vance on Sunday defended the Trump administration’s military operation in Venezuela and capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro as part of the efforts to reduce fentanyl trafficking into the U.S.

His defense comes as some Republican lawmakers broach skepticism toward the White House’s use of the fentanyl crisis as a justification for the aggressive military intervention. The vast majority of fentanyl smuggled into the U.S. originates in Mexico and China, according to federal law enforcement.

Vance pushed back on claims that the operation in Venezuela had "nothing to do with drugs" in a social media post on Sunday, arguing that combating drug trafficking in Venezuela aids the administration's broader response to the fentanyl crisis on multiple fronts.

Vance claimed that some fentanyl does flow to the U.S. from Venezuela, but argued that cocaine trafficking from the country helps prop up cartels. Maduro was indicted on narcoterrorism charges and conspiracy to import cocaine upon his arrival in the U.S. on Saturday.

"Cocaine, which is the main drug trafficked out of Venezuela, is a profit center for all of the Latin America cartels," Vance wrote on X. "If you cut out the money from cocaine (or even reduce it) you substantially weaken the cartels overall. Also, cocaine is bad too!"

World Leaders Left Stunned by US Attacking Venezuela

World leaders on Saturday were stunned as the United States moved in the early hours of Saturday to strike Venezuela and capture the country's president Nicolás Maduro, with some seeking clarity and others condemning the move.

The White House referred Newsweek to President Donald Trump's statement on Truth Social, in which he wrote, in part: "The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country. This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow."

Maduro and his wife, Cilla Flores, have been formally indicted in the Southern District of New York, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced, after Trump confirmed the U.S. captured them during a "large-scale strike" against Caracas early Saturday morning. Maduro earlier declared a national emergency after multiple explosions rocked the capital city.

Maduro and his wife face U.S. charges of narco-terrorism. Maduro, meanwhile, had been indicted in March 2020 on "narco-terrorism" conspiracy charges in the Southern District of New York. In August 2025, the U.S. doubled its bounty to $50 million for information leading to Maduro's arrest.

Last week, a CIA drone strike targeted a docking area allegedly used by Venezuelan drug cartels—the first known direct operation on Venezuelan soil since U.S. strikes on boats began in September.

Trump had long warned he might authorize strikes on land targets. The U.S. has also seized sanctioned oil tankers off Venezuela's coast, and Trump ordered a blockade of others in a move aimed at tightening economic pressure on the country.

It took just seven seconds for an encounter between Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and a driver in Minneapolis to turn deadly.

Videos of those moments, captured by witnesses’ cellphones and posted to social media, show how the confrontation escalated into gunshots that left a mother dead behind the wheel. The clips also contradict an account provided by President Donald Trump.

Trump, in a social media post hours after the Wednesday morning shooting, said the driver — later identified as Renee Nicole Good — “violently, willfully and viciously ran over the ICE Officer.” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused the driver of trying to run the officer over, saying “she hit him” in “an act of domestic terrorism.” The agency called her a violent rioter. All said the officer fired in self-defense.

“It is hard to believe he is alive,” Trump said.

A close look at the videos shows that Good’s car did not knock down the officer, whose legs were to the side of the SUV as it moved by him while he fired. The officer walked away from the scene unassisted. Noem said he was treated at a hospital and released.
