Protests erupted across the United States following a deadly ICE shooting in Minneapolis, igniting outrage that quickly spread from the Midwest to major cities nationwide. Demonstrators gathered late into the night at Foley Square, calling the rally an emergency response to the killing. Similar scenes unfolded in San Francisco, where hundreds gathered outside ICE offices, while thousands paid tribute at a memorial in Minneapolis despite freezing temperatures.

PG&E has confirmed that a major fire inside a key San Francisco power substation caused extensive damage, triggering one of the city’s largest recent blackouts. Utility officials say the damage was severe, calling repairs highly complex and warning that full restoration could not be rushed due to safety concerns. The outage left more than 130,000 homes and businesses without power, disrupted transit systems, forced widespread business closures, and even caused self-driving cars to stop mid-street as traffic signals failed.
