“This is ridiculous”: Witness speaks after Portland shooting involving federal agents

A witness near Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside describes what he saw after the shooting police say involved federal law enforcement agents.

Portland police have said two people were found with gunshot wounds and taken to the hospital. No conditions were released at the time of this report, and officials have said the investigation is being handled federally.

In the interview, the witness calls the situation “ridiculous,” says “something has to be done,” and says ICE and Border Patrol should leave. Those are his statements; officials have not confirmed additional details in this clip.

Trump threatens Colombia’s Petro, warns Mexico ‘to get their act together’

President Donald Trump has suggested potential US military action against Colombia and warned Mexico to get its act together.
He also reiterated a threat to send the military back to Venezuela if, in his words, it doesn't behave.
His comments come a day after American forces captured and detained Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a surprise attack on Caracas.
Maduro and his wife are due to appear in court on drug-related charges in New York later on Monday.
Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump insisted the US is “in charge” of Venezuela, even though the country's Supreme Court has appointed the vice president as interim leader.
Trump also suggested Colombia could face military action unless it curbs the flow of illicit drugs to the United States.

Al Jazeera’s Manuel Rapalo has the latest developments from Washington, DC.

Colombia's president Gustavo Petro has denounced Trump's latest accusations as “slander”.

John Holman has more from Cucuta on the Colombia-Venezuela border.
Al Jazeera has been denied entry to Venezuela to report from inside the country, like many foreign media.

Over 20M Americans Set to Lose Healthcare Coverage Jan. 1 After Congress Goes on Recess

Tens of millions of Americans are set to see their health insurance costs soar when subsidies under the Affordable Care Act expire at the end of this year. Health insurance premiums are expected to more than double or even triple for some 20 million people, pricing many out of healthcare coverage entirely. "We've done nothing as a country to control healthcare costs," says Elisabeth Benjamin, vice president of health initiatives at the Community Service Society of New York and member of New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's transition team. She discusses how premiums will work, how to seek help, what to watch for in alternative plans, and more.
