BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media: A group of radical libertarian NRA members in Oregon are reportedly open-carrying AR-15s and standing in front of ICE vehicles with smiles on their faces and daring the agents to move an inch toward them. Lead Stories rating: False (Satire) Fact Check: Satirical Post Said ‘Radical Libertarian NRA Members’ Wielding AR-15 Rifles Were Facing Off With ICE Vehicles In Oregon — Not Real News
TRUE	Claim via Social Media: As of Jan. 7, 2026, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer’s fatal shooting of Minneapolis woman Renee Nicole Good was the only homicide recorded in the city during 2026. Snopes rating: True (According to the city’s crime dashboard, there were no recorded homicides in Minneapolis from Jan. 1 to 7, 2026, the day an ICE officer killed Renee Nicole Good.) ICE shooting of Renee Good was 1st recorded Minneapolis homicide of 2026
BLATANT LIE	Claim by Donald Trump (R): “The woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive,” DW rating: False (Trump’s claim that Renee Nicole Good ran over an ICE officer is false. The clip he shared, originally posted by KSTP-TV 5 Eyewitness News on Instagram, may briefly appear to show the SUV running over the officer. However, by around the 8-second mark, the officer is clearly standing and watching the vehicle drive away. Viewed at normal speed and from another angle, it is evident the officer jumps back and is not run over.) Fact check: Trump claim about Minneapolis ICE shooting false – DW – 01/09/2026
FALSE	(International: Venezuela): A video shows people celebrating in Venezuela following its President Nicolás Maduro’s ousting. The Quint rating: False AI Clip Shared as Venezuelans Gathered on Streets in Solidarity With Prez Maduro
