Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today’s top stories shaping America and the world. In this Thursday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers escalating violence against ICE officers in Minneapolis, mounting legal trouble for Democratic lawmakers, high-stakes global deal-making by President Trump, and shifting power dynamics involving Iran, China, Greenland, Ukraine, Africa, and Venezuela.

Another ICE Officer Attacked in Minneapolis:
An ICE officer was hospitalized after being beaten with a shovel by an illegal Venezuelan migrant and accomplices during a traffic stop. The attack followed Governor Tim Walz’s public calls for resistance against ICE. Riots broke out as the officer defended himself by firing a single shot. Both the officer and attacker are expected to survive.

Democrats on Defense Over the Renee Good Shooting:
New medical reporting confirms the ICE officer previously shot by activist Renee Good suffered internal bleeding after being struck by her vehicle. Despite video evidence and DHS confirmation, Democratic leaders remain silent. The family has hired the attorney who represented George Floyd, signaling a civil lawsuit ahead.

Slotkin Investigated and FBI Moves on Media Leaks:
Senator Elissa Slotkin is under criminal investigation related to the “Seditious Six” video urging troops to refuse lawful orders. Separately, the FBI raided the home of a Washington Post reporter after a Navy veteran contractor was caught leaking classified Venezuela-related intelligence.

Supreme Court Skeptical of Trans-Sports Lawsuit:
Justices signaled strong resistance to claims that biological males with gender dysphoria must be allowed to compete in women’s sports. Attorneys failed to define what constitutes male or female under Title IX, suggesting state-level bans will likely stand.

Trump Pressures Iran Through Back-Channel Diplomacy:
The Pentagon evacuated some personnel from Middle East bases as Trump delayed strikes after receiving assurances that Iran would halt executions of protesters. Brazil and the UAE signaled they may curtail trade with Iran to avoid U.S.-imposed tariffs, while China remains silent.

Xi Floats a Hemisphere-Level Grand Bargain:
China is reportedly open to pulling back from Central and South America if the United States reduces its commitment to Taiwan. Bryan asks whether reclaiming the Western Hemisphere would be worth that trade-off.

Greenland and Ukraine Become Linked Leverage Points:
Trump signaled that U.S. support for Ukraine may depend on concessions from Europe over Greenland. Denmark pushed back, but Trump argued Venezuela proved America will act decisively where Europe cannot.

Big Wins in Armenia, Congo, and Venezuela:
The United States secured a forty-nine-year lease for a strategic trade corridor along Iran’s border through Armenia, gained access to Congolese copper from a Chinese-run mine, and received its first five hundred million dollars from Venezuelan oil sales. New polling shows strong Venezuelan public support for Maduro’s removal and optimism about Trump’s leadership.
