03:50a left-wing coalition organized the march where participants focused on U.S. policy
03:54toward Venezuela and its support for military actions in Palestine
03:57they argued that U.S. seeks to control Venezuela's oil
04:00We are here to denounce the imperialist aggression that United States made against Venezuela because

06:36Welcome back
06:37The arrest of six Ecuadorians including three miners by US immigration authorities has caused concern and criticism of the Ecuadorian government's response
06:44The South American nation's foreign ministry confirmed the arrests this weekend
06:49which occurred during recent ICE raids
06:51Minneapolis teenagers and young children were detained including a two-year-old arrested with her father
06:56according to reports
06:57These detentions come after the arrest of five-year-old Liam Conejo
07:01who was also held with his father
07:03International media and Ecuadorian authorities reported these latest arrests
07:07while the operations in Minneapolis have received worldwide coverage
07:10also prompting reactions from US political figures
07:14The U.S. protests continue in Minneapolis in the state of Minnesota
07:19in response to the second killing of a U.S. citizen committed by federal agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the city in two weeks
07:27We will recall that on Saturday morning 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pertie, an intensive care nurse
07:45who was confronted by several agents while filming the activities of officers wrestled to the ground and then fatally shot
07:52The killing escalated an already tense standoff between Minnesota and the federal government
07:57following the previous murder of citizen René Nicole Good mere days before
08:02In the aftermath, people have taken to the streets across Minnesota
08:06demanding an end to ongoing federal immigration enforcement operations carried out by ICE and other homeland security agencies
08:13Thus, thousands have gathered in downtown Minneapolis, marching despite freezing temperatures to condemn recent raids and the use of excessive force
08:24In this context, demonstrators accuse federal agents of brutality and call for accountability following the fatal shootings
08:31In this scenario, U.S. President Donald Trump said his administration is reviewing everything after federal officials sought to portray Pertie as a domestic terrorist
08:40saying he wanted to massacre law enforcement
08:43even as videos emerged that directly contradicted their account
08:55Also, we say in this context, the images we are seeing live of the occurring rally taking place as we were saying in Minneapolis, the Minnesota state
09:03as people continue to condemn the police brutality and the aggression of ICE against the migrant community
09:10In this context, a federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order to prevent federal officials from destroying or altering evidence related to the murder of citizen Alex Jeffrey Pertie
09:22Judge Eric Tostrut's decision follows a Saturday lawsuit filed by the Hennepin County County Attorney's Office against ICE agents who fatally shot Pertie at a protest
09:29Its purpose is to protect the evidence that the federal agents who killed the 37-year-old nurse may have removed from the scene or may have in their custody
09:37The court order prevents the government from destroying or altering evidence related to the 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue shooting on January 24th
09:52This includes evidence that the defendant removed from the scene and evidence that the government took into custody
09:58All these contexts of tensions rising on the streets of the United States are a clear demonstration of the white rejection of the Trump's agenda
10:07both national and abroad
10:10It's the imperial agenda that currently the U.S. President Donald Trump is exercising
10:15violating not only international law but the United States' own constitutions and rule of law
10:21We move on to other news also in the States

12:05which exposed the critical situation of homelessness faced by the most vulnerable sectors in one of the most popular cities in the world

12:38such as Texas and Louisiana, with hundreds of thousands of residents left without power in freezing temperatures
