In Minneapolis, Minnesota, a masked ICE agent shot and killed another person, the 14th ICE shooting under Trump to date.
On November 26, 2025, in a quiet northern suburb of Hong Kong, a fire broke out in the middle of the day. The fire was unusual in intensity and duration, consuming seven of eight high rise towers.

Trump has ordered more deadly bombings of small fishing boats, killing everyone onboard, this time off the coast of Colombia. More strikes were announced on Oct. 24, killing six more people and bringing the number of fatalities among people Trump calls “narco-terrorists” to 43.
