Controversy Surrounds ICE Activity in Minneapolis Amidst Global Tensions
Minneapolis, MN – Recent actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis have sparked controversy, with agents killing two U.S. citizens and allegedly terrorizing others, according to multiple reports. These events unfolded against a backdrop of rising global tensions, including a lawsuit filed by Rwanda against the UK and threats made by former President Trump against Iraq.
The incidents in Minneapolis occurred as ICE's presence became increasingly visible, with agents in masks and plate carriers conducting raids, as reported by Vox. The increased activity follows changes implemented during Donald Trump's administration, which saw a militarization of the immigration force. According to Vox, these changes were evident not only in Minneapolis but also in Chicago the previous year.
Meanwhile, on the international stage, multiple news sources reported that global tensions were on the rise. Rwanda initiated legal action against the UK, and former President Trump issued threats against Iraq.
In other news, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) is preparing a major overhaul of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), often referred to as "the Bible of psychiatry," according to NPR News. The APA outlined its plans for the next revision in five studies published in The American Journal of Psychiatry on Wednesday. The next DSM will be a "living document" online and easier to update. The APA has not yet set a timeline or decided on a name for the new version.
Additionally, the UK government is proposing reforms to veterinary practices, requiring them to publish prices for common treatments and obtain operating licenses, according to BBC Business. These changes aim to increase transparency and standards in response to rising costs and concerns that pet owners are delaying or foregoing necessary care. The reforms were prompted by a Competition and Markets Authority investigation that found prices rising faster than inflation and a lack of price transparency.
