A senior U.S. Border Patrol commander and some agents are expected to leave Minneapolis as early as Tuesday. That's according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press. Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino has been at the center of the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement surge in cities nationwide. His departure comes as President Donald Trump dispatched border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to take charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. The person familiar with the matter was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the operation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.

There has been no decision, yet, on Minnesota's request to suspend the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Judge Katherine Menendez gave the government until Monday to respond to a request for a restraining order. Plumes of tear gas, the deployment of chemical irritants and the screech of protest whistles have become common on the streets of Minneapolis, where an immigration agent killed Renee Good last week. The Pentagon may send military lawyers to Minneapolis. An official says the agent who shot Good suffered internal bleeding during the incident. No other details were disclosed.

The wife of the woman shot and killed by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis says the couple had stopped their car to support their neighbors and they had whistles, while the masked agents had guns. It was the first public comment from Rebecca Good about the death of Renee Good, the mother of three killed Wednesday when three Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers surrounded and tried to force open the door of her Honda Pilot SUV and the vehicle lurched forward. Trump administration officials have painted Renee Good as a domestic terrorist who tried to run over an officer with her vehicle. Rebecca Good described her late wife as a Christian who was trying to build a better world.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urges calm after a bus driver ran over and killed a teenage boy during a protest. The incident happened Tuesday during a demonstration by thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews against a law seeking to draft them into Israel's military. Netanyahu calls for restraint to prevent further tragedies. Police say the driver was attacked by protesters. He has been arrested and was being questioned. The violence highlights tensions over military exemptions for the ultra-Orthodox. Many secular Israelis support drafting them, but religious protesters claim it threatens their way of life. This issue poses a political challenge for Netanyahu.

Hospital officials say an Israeli strike in Gaza hit a tent housing displaced people, killing a 5-year-old girl and her uncle. The strike took place in the Muwasi area of Khan Younis, wounding two other children. The Israeli Defense Forces said on social media it targeted a Hamas militant planning an imminent attack. It was unclear if this referred to the tent strike. The Gaza Health Ministry reported over 400 deaths in Gaza since an October ceasefire began. The overall Palestinian death toll from the Israel-Hamas war has risen to at least 71,388, with 171,269 wounded.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is citing the "fog of war" in defending a follow-up strike on an alleged drug-carrying boat in the Caribbean Sea in early September. During Tuesday's Cabinet meeting at the White House, Hegseth said he did not see any survivors in the water, saying the boat "exploded in fire." Hegseth also said he "didn't stick around" for the remainder of the mission following the initial strike, and said the admiral in charge "made the right call" in ordering it, which he "had complete authority to do." Lawmakers have opened investigations following a Washington Post report that Hegseth issued a verbal order to "kill everybody" on the boat.

Two West Virginia National Guard members shot Wednesday near the White House have died, the state's governor said. Governor Patrick Morrisey confirmed their deaths in a social media post. Emergency vehicles were seen on Wednesday responding to the area. A suspect who is in custody also was shot and has injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening, the source said. President Donald Trump, who is in Florida celebrating Thanksgiving, warned in a statement on social media that the "animal" who shot the guardsmen "will pay a very steep price." The shooting happened roughly two blocks northwest of the White House.

Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces on Wednesday, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs at the seat of U.S. military power. The refusal was near-unanimous, from trade publications, wire services, television networks and newspapers, and included outlets that appeal largely to conservatives like Fox News Channel and Newsmax. Many of the reporters chose to turn in their badges together at the 4 p.m. deadline set by the Defense Department to vacate the building. Reporters said their work will continue despite the loss of access.

President Donald Trump says the U.S. has struck another boat accused of carrying drugs in the waters off Venezuela. The Republican president said Tuesday in a social media post six people aboard the vessel were killed. It's the fifth deadly strike in the Caribbean as the Trump administration has asserted it's treating alleged drug traffickers as unlawful combatants who must be met with military force. Frustration with the administration has grown on Capitol Hill. Some Republicans want more information from the White House on the legal justification and details of the strikes. Democrats contend the strikes violate U.S. and international law. Venezuela says the U.S. government knows the drug-trafficking accusations are false.

Fox News, the former employer of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, has joined a near-unanimous outpouring of news organizations rejecting new rules for journalists based in the Pentagon. Fox signed on to a statement with ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN saying they would not agree to Hegseth's new rules. It said "the policy is without precedent and threatens core journalistic protections." So far, only the conservative One America News Network has said its reporters would follow the new regulations. Hegseth has said that outlets who don't agree to the new rules by the end of Tuesday, which restrict reporting on news not specifically approved by his team, will be evicted from the Pentagon on Wednesday.
