A woman protesting in Minnesota was shot and killed by an ICE officer late Wednesday morning, and the Justice Department made a very bizarre move by blocking state officers from taking part in the investigation. After an opening agreement for the FBI to join forces with the state agencies over the case, federal officials changed course and blocked the state from joining the FBI's investigation. Concerns with the Trump administration were that state agents couldn't be trusted with possible information included in the case, and that ICE agents' safety could be in jeopardy. The doubt and suspicion between state officials and federal agents go both ways, with Minnesota calling the ICE officer involved "reckless."

On Wednesday ICE shot and killed a 37 year old woman. This is very inhumane and more violent than most immigration companies have been in the past. Trumps statement on this was that she ran over the ICE agent and that he was even surprised the agent was still alive. In the video you can see that the agent is barely grazed by the car, which naturally wont cause any harm. ICE is getting out of control and needs to lower their violence because this is just one of many harmful things they have done.

Mike McDaniel just got fired after missing the playoffs for the second season in a row. I was unexpected for him but they dicided they needed a lot of change. They also fired their general manager and are looking for a new one right now. Mike McDaniel had a great offensive scheme and lead with the top offence for some years but now he has been fired.

The Miami Dolphins have fired head coach Mike McDaniel after the team missed the playoffs for the second straight season.

"After careful evaluation and extensive discussions since the season ended, I have made the decision that our organization is in need of comprehensive change," Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said in a statement on Thursday.

"I love Mike and want to thank him for his hard work, commitment, and the energy he brought to our organization. Mike is an incredibly creative football mind whose passion for the game and his players was evident every day. I wish him and his family the best moving forward."

The move is somewhat of a surprise after McDaniel told reporters on Monday that he was part of the team's search for a new general manager.

The Dolphins went 35-33 under McDaniel, reaching the playoffs in his first two seasons but losing in the first round each time. Miami missed the postseason in 2024 after being eliminated by the Jets in the regular-season finale. This season, their postseason hopes ended with a loss to Pittsburgh in Week 15, ensuring their 25-year playoff-win drought - the longest streak in the NFL - would continue.

Miami parted ways with longtime general manager Chris Grier at the end of October and began their search for a new general manager this week. But a disjointed finish to the season that saw former first-round pick Tua Tagovailoa benched proved the final straw for Ross, who decided to move on from McDaniel.

The Yale-educated McDaniel was seen as emblematic of a generation of young, ambitious head coaches when he was appointed by the Dolphins at the age of 38 in 2022. He had impressed the Dolphins with his work as offensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers and soon turned around a sputtering Miami offense. In his first season in charge, the Dolphins finished sixth in total offense and were first the following season.

However, that momentum has stalled and Tagovailoa has struggled mightily among injuries and a loss of form. On Monday, Taglovailoa said he would be happy to play for a new team next season.

"That would be dope," he said. "I would be good with it."
