Minnesota National Guard placed on standby to support law enforcement as protests turn violent
The Minnesota National Guard posted a photo on social media Saturday showing what they will be wearing if they are activated, to "distinguish them[selves] from other agencies," as they remain on standby amid intensifying anti-ICE protests.
"Members of the Minnesota National Guard are on standby, ready to assist local law enforcement and public safety agencies. If our members are activated, they will be wearing reflective vests, as pictured here, to help distinguish them from other agencies in similar uniforms," the Minnesota National Guard wrote in the post.
The faces of the Guard members were blurred out, and they were seen wearing bright yellow vests over their uniforms.
The Minnesota National Guard added its members "live, work, and serve in our state, and are focused on protecting life, preserving property, and ensuring Minnesotans can safely exercise their First Amendment rights."
GREGG JARRETT: TRUMP HAS AUTHORITY TO SEND TROOPS TO MINNEAPOLIS TO STOP ATTACKS ON ICE
Guardsmen have not yet been deployed to city streets, but are ready to help support public safety, according to officials.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety announced earlier on Saturday that, at Gov. Tim Walz’s direction, the Guard was mobilized and staging to support local law enforcement and emergency management agencies.
Multiple conservative demonstrators were seen on video being beaten by agitators during anti-immigration enforcement protests on Saturday.
WHITE HOUSE BLAMES DEMOCRATS FOR ICE VIOLENCE AS MINNEAPOLIS ERUPTS, INSURRECTION ACT THREAT LOOMS
Ongoing tensions flared earlier this month after 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot Jan. 7 by an ICE agent while allegedly blocking an operation in Minneapolis and driving toward the agent.
Following the shooting, Democratic officials, including Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, encouraged anti-ICE protesters to assemble, prompting a probe by federal prosecutors for the alleged impeding of law enforcement efforts.
U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News on Friday that Democrats' anti-ICE rhetoric could escalate to a crime.
"When the governor or the mayor threaten our officers, when the mayor suggests that he's encouraging citizens to call 911 when they see ICE officers, that is very close to a federal crime," Blanche said.
Sources said the investigation is in early stages, and it is unclear if it will result in any criminal charges.
Protests explode in Greenland amid Trump takeover push: 'We are not interested in being Americans'
Protests erupted in Greenland on Saturday as demonstrators rejected pressure from President Donald Trump to take over the Arctic island, with protesters chanting that Greenland is "not for sale" and saying they want to determine their own future, Reuters reported.
"We are not interested in being Americans," one protester said in video during demonstrations in the Greenlandic capital, Nuuk.
The protests followed Trump’s renewed push to acquire Greenland, including a Truth Social post made Saturday in which he announced new tariffs on several European countries unless a deal is reached for the island's purchase by the U.S.
In the post, Trump wrote that Denmark and other European nations would face a 10% tariff beginning Feb. 1, rising to 25% on June 1, and said the tariffs would remain in place "until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland."
TRUMP'S GREENLAND TAKEOVER WOULD LIKELY ENTAIL ENORMOUS PRICE TAG: REPORT
Some demonstrators wore red baseball caps styled after the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) hats worn by Trump supporters, but with the slogan "Make America Go Away."
In Nuuk, thousands of protesters led by Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen marched toward the U.S. consulate carrying flags and banners while chanting "Kalaallit Nunaat," the island’s name in Greenlandic, according to Reuters. Nielsen addressed the crowd outside the consulate, drawing loud cheers.
"I’ve come here today because I think it’s important to show that Greenland is not for sale. It is not a toy. This is our home," Naja Holm, a civil servant, told Reuters.
NATO AMBASSADOR SAYS EUROPE 'HAS A TENDENCY TO OVERREACT' OVER GREENLAND DISPUTE
Trump has said Greenland is vital to U.S. national security because of its strategic Arctic location and mineral resources, and has warned that China and Russia are seeking influence on the island. He has argued that U.S. control would strengthen Western security in the region.
The dispute has drawn sharp reaction from European leaders.
Sweden’s prime minister said Europe would not be "blackmailed," while French President Emmanuel Macron warned that tariff threats were unacceptable and said Europe would respond in a united and coordinated manner in an X post.
"No intimidation nor threat will influence us, neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world when we are confronted with such situations," wrote Macron in an X post. "Tariff threats are unacceptable and have no place in this context. Europeans will respond to them in a united and coordinated manner if they were to be confirmed."
Prime Minister David van Weel of the Netherlands also took to social media in response.
"We have taken note of President Trump’s announcement on tariffs," van Weel wrote. "Military efforts related to exercises in Greenland are intended to contribute to security in the Arctic region. The Netherlands is in close contact with the @EU_Commission and partners on our response."
Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark with a population of about 57,000.
All political parties represented in Greenland’s parliament support eventual independence, but they differ on timing and have said they would prefer to remain part of Denmark rather than become part of the U.S., Reuters reported.
Former Nickelodeon child star Kianna Underwood killed in NYC hit-and-run: police
Former Nickelodeon child star Kianna Underwood was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Brooklyn early Friday, according to the New York Police Department, Fox News Digital can confirm. She was 33.
Police said Underwood was struck by an SUV while crossing an intersection in the Brownsville neighborhood, then hit again by a second vehicle. Both drivers fled the scene and remain unidentified.
"On Friday, January 16, 2026, at approximately 6:43 a.m., police responded to a 9-1-1 call of a pedestrian struck at Pitkin Avenue and Mother Gaston Boulevard within the confines of the 73rd Precinct," a DCPI spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

Investigators said the crash unfolded as a black SUV approached the intersection. "Further investigation by the NYPD Highway District Collision Investigation Squad determined that a black 2021 Ford Explorer SUV, operated by an unidentified individual, was traveling westbound on Pitkin Avenue with a green light signal …"
Police said the driver then made a dangerous turn, crossing into oncoming traffic to pass another vehicle. "It crossed over the double yellow line and traveled counterflow … and struck a 33-year-old woman who was attempting to cross Pitkin Avenue."
Authorities said Underwood was in the crosswalk at the time of the collision. After the initial impact, police said Underwood was hit a second time while lying in the roadway.

"As the pedestrian was lying on the roadway, she was subsequently struck by a black-and-gray sedan operated by an unidentified individual." Both drivers fled the scene before police arrived, according to investigators.
Emergency medical services pronounced Underwood dead at the scene. No arrests have been made.

Police said the investigation remains ongoing by the NYPD Highway District Collision Investigation Squad.
Underwood was best known for her work as a child actor on Nickelodeon, appearing on the network’s hit sketch comedy series "All That" in 2005. She also voiced the character Fuchsia Glover on the Nick Jr. animated series "Little Bill" from 1999 to 2004.
She later spent a year performing as Little Inez on the first national tour of the Broadway musical "Hairspray."
"All That" was Underwood’s final credited acting role. The long-running Nickelodeon series helped launch the careers of major stars, including Nick Cannon, Kenan Thompson and Amanda Bynes.

Illegal migrant workers caught on camera leaping across rooftops to escape Border Patrol in California raid
Dramatic video shows several illegal immigrants scrambling across rooftops in California as they try to flee federal immigration agents during an enforcement operation at a small construction site.
The frantic footage shows two individuals scaling a ladder onto the roof of a home in Montebello on Wednesday, shortly after authorities pulled up outside the single-story house. Montebello is a city in Los Angeles County
One of the individuals appeared to try to knock the ladder to the ground in an apparent attempt to prevent agents from following, but an officer caught the ladder and propped it back against the house.
The illegal immigrants then split up, leaping onto separate nearby rooftops as they fled.
A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the incident occurred during a U.S. Border Patrol enforcement operation in the Montebello area.
"These operations resulted in the arrest of five illegal aliens from Mexico and Guatemala, who have all broken the immigration laws of this country," a DHS spokesperson said. "These individuals will remain in custody pending further immigration proceedings."
Local outlet ABC7 reported that the workers’ boss initially claimed no one had been detained. DHS, however, later confirmed to Fox News Digital that five individuals were arrested during the operation.
DHS said the enforcement activity was carried out as part of a broader push by the Trump administration to crack down on illegal immigration.
The incident comes as the White House moves to carry out what officials have described as the largest deportation effort in U.S. history, a policy that has sparked backlash in sanctuary cities and other Democratic-led jurisdictions.
US strike eliminates al Qaeda operative connected to ISIS ambush that killed 3 Americans in Syria
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Saturday a leader affiliated with al Qaeda, who had direct ties to an ISIS terrorist responsible for killing two U.S. service members and an American interpreter on Dec. 13, was killed in a U.S. strike in northwest Syria on Friday.
CENTCOM officials said Bilal Hasan al-Jasim was an experienced terrorist leader who plotted attacks and was "directly connected" with the ISIS gunman who killed and injured American and Syrian personnel last month in Palmyra, Syria.
"The death of a terrorist operative linked to the deaths of three Americans demonstrates our resolve in pursuing terrorists who attack our forces," said CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper. "There is no safe place for those who conduct, plot, or inspire attacks on American citizens and our warfighters. We will find you."
CENTCOM launched large-scale strikes in Syria in response to the Dec. 13 attack.
Operation Hawkeye Strike resulted in U.S. and partner forces hitting more than 100 ISIS infrastructure and weapons site targets with over 200 precision munitions.
More than 300 ISIS operatives were captured and more than 20 were killed across Syria within the past year, according to CENTCOM.
U.S. Special Envoy for Syria Tom Barrack met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani, and members of their team in Damascus on Jan. 10 to discuss recent developments in Aleppo and the broader path forward for Syria’s historic transition.
TRUMP ATTENDS SOLEMN DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR IOWA GUARDSMEN, CIVILIAN KILLED IN SYRIA ISIS ATTACK
In a statement on X, Barrack said President Donald Trump agreed to lift sanctions in order to "give Syria a chance" to move forward.
"The United States Government welcomes Syria’s historic transition and extends its support to the Syrian government under President Ahmed al-Sharaa as it works to stabilize the country, rebuild national institutions, and fulfill the aspirations of all Syrians for peace, security, and prosperity," Barrack wrote in the post.

He added Syrian government has reaffirmed its commitment to the March 2025 integration agreement with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), but called developments in Aleppo that "appear to challenge the terms of this agreement," deeply concerning.
"We urge all parties to exercise maximum restraint, immediately cease hostilities, and return to dialogue in accordance with the March 10 and April 1, 2025 agreements between the Syrian government and the SDF," Barrack wrote. "Violence risks undermining the progress achieved since the fall of the Assad regime and invites external interference that serves no party’s interests. … The objective remains a sovereign, unified Syria—at peace with itself and its neighbors—where equality, justice, and opportunity are extended to all its people."
John Harbaugh promises Giants fans ‘a brand of football you will be proud of’ after finalizing deal: reports
Fresh off of signing a contract that will reportedly pay him $100 million over five years to coach the NFL's New York Giants, John Harbaugh vowed to give fans of Big Blue a team they can be proud of.
The two sides reportedly reached a handshake agreement Wednesday, but the contract was not completed until Saturday. The terms, which put Harbaugh on par with the Kansas City Chiefs' Andy Reid, were reported by The Athletic.
Harbaugh, 63, said he will help build a team that fans can be proud of.

"It’s the New York Football Giants. I can’t wait to get started. I know how great our fans are, I’ve seen them close up enough. We are going to build a team that’s going to play a brand of football that you will be proud of," Harbaugh said, according to The Athletic.
"Today is an exciting day. What a privilege it is to join the Maras and Tisch’s and the whole organization. I am so fired up about the players on this team. Looking forward to the great things we can accomplish together!" Harbaugh said, according to FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer.
Harbaugh will report directly to ownership, according to multiple reports.
The Baltimore Ravens stunningly fired Harbaugh last week after a highly successful 18-season run in which he posted a regular season record of 180-113. The team won six AFC North titles, appeared in four AFC championship games and won a Super Bowl under Harbaugh, whose younger brother Jim coaches the Los Angeles Chargers.
FOX SUPER 6 CONTEST: CHRIS 'THE BEAR' FALLICA'S NFL DIVISIONAL ROUND PREDICTIONS
The Ravens finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs in heartbreaking fashion when kicker Tyler Loop’s game-winning field goal attempt sailed wide right. After the disappointing season, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti fired Harbaugh.
Upon Harbaugh’s dismissal, he immediately became the top candidate in this season’s head coaching cycle, and the Giants were aggressive in their pursuit.
The Giants have the second-worst record in the NFL over the last 10 seasons, ahead of only the New York Jets, at 55-109-1.
The Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll midseason after blowing a 10-point fourth-quarter lead to the Chicago Bears, a game in which rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart sustained a concussion, dropping them to 2-8. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka was named interim coach and went 2-5 in his seven games.
Daboll was in his fourth season and compiled a 20-40-1 record. He was named NFL Coach of the Year in his first season after leading the Giants to a 9-7-1 record and a playoff berth, but the team’s record worsened in every season.
While Kafka won his last two games and received an interview for the full-time position, he did not get the job.

RNC chair pushes back after Carville predicts GOP ‘wipeout’ in 2026 midterms
Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville predicted a political "wipeout" for Republicans in the 2026 midterm election.
Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters rejected the forecast and said Republicans can defy history and retain control of both chambers.
Carville argued Democrats could pick up dozens of seats in the House and would likely regain control of the Senate. Some Democratic strategists are warning that the party faces serious long-term challenges, particularly beyond the next election cycle.
"I'm looking at the 2026 elections, and frankly, it's going to be a wipeout," Carville said on "Saturday in America."
"The Democrats are going to pick up at a minimum 25 seats — maybe as high as 45. In all likelihood, the Democrats will carry the Senate," he told Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany.
SHOWDOWN FOR THE HOUSE: DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS BRACE FOR HIGH-STAKES MIDTERM CLASH
Gruters pushed back on the prediction, arguing that signs point to Republicans retaining control of both chambers of Congress. He acknowledged the historical midterm disadvantage for the party in power, but said Republicans are positioned to "defy history."
"Our secret weapon is President Trump," Gruters said on "Saturday in America" in a separate segment.
"He’s accomplished more in this first 12 months than most presidents accomplished in eight years," he added.
DEMOCRATS HAD MAJOR ELECTION VICTORIES IN 2025, BUT WINS DON’T ERASE PARTY’S CRITICAL WEAKNESSES
Carville’s comments were made in response to a New York Times opinion essay from veteran Democratic strategist David Plouffe, a former senior advisor to President Barack Obama, who argued that the party is "still in crisis."
"Right now, Democrats have no credible path to sustained control of the Senate and the White House," Plouffe wrote in a guest essay published Jan. 15.
He warned that changes to the Electoral College could further complicate Democrats’ future prospects.
"After the adjustments to the Electoral College map that look likely to come with the next census, the Democratic presidential nominee could win all the states won by Kamala Harris plus the blue wall of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and still fall short of the 270 electoral votes needed to win," Plouffe added.
Chicken soup or tomato soup? Dietitians say one is the healthier choice
January is National Soup Month, and for many Americans, that means reaching for familiar comfort foods like chicken soup or tomato soup — but which one is actually healthier?
The nutritional profile of a bowl or cup of soup can run across the spectrum from healthy to fatty and caloric.
'AMERICAN KITCHEN' CHEF SERVES CREAMY ACORN SQUASH SOUP IN EDIBLE BOWLS 'THAT EVERYONE WILL LOVE'
Vandana Sheth, a plant-based dietitian and diabetes expert who lives in California, said that both soups can be comforting dishes. However, their nutrition profiles can vary widely based on ingredients and preparation.
"Choose versions with no added sugars, minimal saturated fat and lower sodium to keep them healthy. When able, enjoy homemade or minimally processed options with fresh vegetables, lean protein and other fiber-rich options," she said.
Michelle Routhenstein, a New York-based cardiology dietitian, said that a standard serving size of chicken noodle soup (about 1 cup) usually contains around 100–150 calories, with about 6–10 grams of protein and anywhere from 500 milligrams to more than 1500 milligrams of sodium.
EATING LEFTOVER PASTA MAY BE BETTER FOR YOUR BLOOD SUGAR THAN CONSUMING A FRESH BOWL, EXPERTS SAY
Beyond the numbers, Routhenstein said homemade chicken soup can provide lean protein, B vitamins and immune-supporting zinc.
Some studies suggest that chicken soup may help ease cold symptoms like nasal congestion and may have anti-inflammatory effects.
Still, not all chicken soups are created equal. Commercially prepared and even homemade versions can be high in sodium, which may negatively affect blood pressure, Routhenstein said.
HEALTHIEST RED MEATS TO EAT — AND HOW A CARDIOLOGIST SAYS TO PREPARE THEM
When buying premade chicken soup, she recommends checking labels for sodium content under 500 milligrams per serving and watching for added sugars and flavorings.
Similarly, when chicken soup is made with lean chicken, vegetables and a light broth, it can be a nutrient-rich option, Sheth said.
Sheth advises choosing broth-based soups with lean chicken and plenty of vegetables and limiting or avoiding cream-based varieties, which tend to be higher in saturated fat.
Meanwhile, tomato soup offers a different nutritional profile.

"Per 1 cup serving, you will get 70–150 calories depending on [whether] it's broth-based or cream-based, lycopene and vitamins A and C, which can help support eye health and immunity," Sheth said, noting that sodium content can range from 400 to 900 milligrams, especially with canned versions.
Compared to chicken soup, tomato soup trails on the protein scale, Sheth said.
Routhenstein highlighted lycopene as one of tomato soup's biggest benefits, noting that the antioxidant "may help with reducing inflammation, heart disease and immune health."

"Lycopene has also been studied for its benefit [in reducing the] risk of prostate cancer. Tomato soup is also rich in vitamin C and potassium, which also protect heart and immune health," she added.
As with chicken soup, both dietitians stress the importance of keeping sodium and added sugars low.

Sheth recommends choosing packaged tomato soups where whole tomatoes make up the majority of ingredients to maximize nutrients.
If she had to choose, Routhenstein said she would opt for tomato soup, emphasizing its antioxidant content, while noting that preparation and ingredients make a significant difference.
Sheth said both soups can fit into a healthy diet when chosen carefully.

"Chicken soup can be a better option when it comes to protein and keeping you feeling full," she said.
"Tomato soup is loaded with antioxidants and, while it's lower in protein, you can enjoy a bowl of tomato soup with a protein-rich side for a balanced meal."
Her bottom line: Choose lower-sodium versions at the store or make soup at home to better control salt and ingredients.
Air Force basketball coach suspended indefinitely pending investigation into treatment of cadet-athletes
Air Force’s men’s basketball coach Joe Scott has been suspended indefinitely pending an investigation into the treatment of cadet-athletes, the school announced Saturday.
Assistant coach Joe Jordan will serve as the interim coach. The school said that no further information was releasable at the time.
Scott, 60, is currently in his second stint with Air Force. He served as head coach from 2000-04, then returned in 2020.

Scott has a 97-183 record over his 10 seasons as head coach. The Falcons have struggled this season, and have a record of 3-14.
In Scott’s 10 seasons as head coach, he has only had one winning season, the 2003-04 season when they were 22-7. They were Mountain West Conference regular-season champions and were awarded an at-large NCAA tournament appearance.
SMU'S BOOPIE MILLER SINKS HALF-COURT BUZZER-BEATER TO STUN VIRGINIA TECH
Following that season, Scott left to become the head coach of Princeton, where he lasted three seasons. He went 38-45 during his tenure at the Ivy League school.
After his three seasons at Princeton, Scott served as the University of Denver's head coach from 2007 to 2016. In nine seasons, Scott went 146-132 with one postseason appearance in the NIT, but was fired with two seasons left on his contract.
Scott then spent two seasons as an assistant at Holy Cross, and two as an assistant at Georgia under Tom Crean before returning to Air Force. Scott’s career head coaching record is 281-360.
Jordan’s first game as interim head coach is on Saturday at 4 p.m. ET against the Nevada Wolf Pack at home.
