Things got heated on CNN's "NewsNight with Abby Phillip" on Wednesday as the panel tried to dissect the rationale offered by President Donald Trump's administration to justify the recent killing of an ICU nurse in Minneapolis.

Host Abby Phillip clashed with Joe Borelli, the former Republican leader of the New York City Council, over whether justifiable circumstances existed in the death of Alex Pretti, a nurse who was gunned down by a swarm of immigration agents in Minneapolis over the weekend. Borelli claimed Pretti put himself in danger by carrying his weapon while protesting. He also claimed that the whole situation could have been avoided if Minneapolis police officers cooperated with Trump's deportation operations.

A jaw-dropping poll conducted by Fox News left some analysts speechless on Wednesday.

Fox News polled registered voters between January 23 and 26 about what they thought of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents' efforts to deport people from Minneapolis. Respondents were asked to decide whether ICE was being "too aggressive," "not aggressive enough," or "about right."

The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board warned Wednesday that President Donald Trump is playing with financial fire.

This week, Trump declared a weaker dollar "great," but the Journal warned "he should be careful what he wishes for," as experts have sounded the alarm on what could become a catastrophic miscalculation.

Ex-GOP operative Tim Miller was on a panel with former Immigration and Customs Enforcement director Jonathan Fahey, Brandon Tatum, a social media influencer known as The Officer Tatum, and progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen to discuss the aftermath of agents killing nurse Alex Pretti.

A legal expert on CNN flagged a suspicious new detail that emerged on Wednesday about the death of ICU nurse Alex Pretti over the weekend, one that President Donald Trump's administration should have released by now.

John Miller, CNN's chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst, reviewed a new video that shows a confrontation between Pretti and ICE officers in Minneapolis about 11 days before the nurse was gunned down at a protest. In the video, the individual who resembles Pretti can be seen kicking the taillight of an ICE officer's vehicle, and then wrestling with an agent afterward.

In the order, Shlitz noted 96 instances in which ICE had violated a court order.

A Border Patrol agent recently spilled the beans about more than a dozen 'secret and obscure watchlists' that President Donald Trump's administration has created to monitor Americans, according to a new report.

Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein reported on Wednesday that a source inside Customs and Border Patrol spoke to him about a list of "aggressive protesters" that the administration has cobbled together using multiple existing government databases. The protesters the administration cares about most are anti-ICE and pro-Palestinian protesters, the report said. Some of the codenames of the lists are Bluekey, Grapevine, Hummingbird, Reaper, Sandcastle, Sienna, Slipstream, and Sparta, it added.
