MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal agents used pepper spray to push through an angry crowd that blocked their vehicles as they checked identifications in a heavily Somali neighborhood of Minneapolis on Tuesday, amid the Trump administration'songoing crackdowntargeting the community.

City Council Member Jamal Osman, a Somali American who represents the neighborhood, witnessed the confrontation, as did an Associated Press videographer.

Minnesota's Somali community — the largest in the U.S. —has been on edgethe past couple of weeks since President Donald Trump said ina social media postThanksgiving night that he was terminating Temporary Protected Status for them.

It is not clear how many Somali community members have been arrested, temporarily detained or asked to show documents aspart of the crackdown, which has also netted people of other nationalities. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said via email that they made no arrests in the neighborhood Tuesday, but provided no further details.

Osman said armed ICE agents went to East African restaurants in the neighborhood Tuesday, closed the doors and demanded people's IDs. They found only U.S. citizens and made no arrests, Osman said.

"Luckily everyone had their passport, because I've been telling them to have their passport with them," Osman said.

After checking the IDs of some people stopped at random on the street and temporarily detaining at least one U.S. citizen, Osman said, the agents went in seven to 10 vehicles to a nearby city-owned senior housing complex. There, he said, a group of mostly white young people he called "heroes" blew whistles to sound the alarm and confronted the agents, who responded with pepper spray.

"Thank God so many people showed up there," Osman said. "(The agents) couldn't get out of there because people showed up with their cars and whistles."

Osman said he saw people suffering from the effects of pepper spray. He also said he spoke with one young Somali American who was dragged to a vehicle, detained and taken to an ICE detention center. There, officials finally looked at his U.S. passport, fingerprinted him, and released him but told him to find his own way home, about 6 miles (10 kilometers) away in snowy weather.

"I just don't know what they accomplished today other than the chaos," Osman said.

Trumpfurther stoked tensionslast week when hecalled Somalis "garbage"and said he does not want them in the country. At the same time, federal agents launched the crackdown targeting Minnesota Somalis.

The president's moves have drawn denunciations from leaders of the Somali community andDemocrats including Gov. Tim Walz, amid relative silence from top state Republicans.

About 84,000 of the260,000 Somalisin the countrylive in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, the overwhelming majority of them U.S. citizens. Almost 58% were born in the U.S., and 87% of those born elsewhere are naturalized citizens.

A new website launched by the Department of Homeland Securitylists at least six Somalisarrested in Minnesota in recent weeks. The site says it is "highlighting the worst of worst criminal aliens" arrested by ICE to show how agents are "fulfilling President Trump's promise and carrying out mass deportations."

ICE released a statement Friday listingthree other arrested Somaliswho did not appear on the website, along with people of other nationalities who it said were arrested in Minneapolis as part of Operation Metro Surge. ICE said they had all been convicted of crimes including sexual abuse minors, robbery and domestic assault.

"Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey protected these criminals at the expense of the safety of Americans," the statement said. "President Trump and Secretary (Kristi) Noem have a clear message for criminal illegal aliens: LEAVE NOW. If you don't, we will find you, arrest you, and deport you."

A hiker in Utah's Arches National Park became trapped Sunday in something most people have seen only in old movies or TV shows — quicksand.

The hiker, who was not injured, was trapped in the substance for several freezing hours, stuck up to his thighs in a canyon area Sunday morning, his rescuers said.

There was a quicksand case in the same area, about 2 miles away, in 2014, but Sunday's call at around 7:15 a.m. was still a surprise, Grand County Search and Rescue incident commander John Marshall said.

"The page went off and I kind of shook my head and said: 'Did I hear that correctly? Somebody is stuck in quicksand?'" Marshall recalled in an interview Tuesday.

Rescuers used a ladder and vehicle traction boards to reach the hiker, Marshall said. The boards allowed rescuers to work next to the trapped hiker safely, he said.

Quicksand can trap people quickly, Marshall said, but because of the body's natural buoyancy, people rarely sink deeper than their waist.

"It's got a good bite. The more people struggle, the deeper they go," Marshall said. "So, one or two footsteps into that sand is really all it needs to initiate that initial stuck factor."

Video captured the hiker's rescue. Searchers used a drone to help pinpoint his location.

It was a frigid morning, around 21 degrees, rescue technician Jake Blackwelder recalled.

"Where this person was, there was just no sun shining down in this canyon area," Blackwelder said. "And so I was just taken aback by just how cold the ambient temperature was."

Blackwelder contacted the hiker from a cliff. The man was trapped in a wash — which like a riverbed that is mostly dry but channels water when it rains or there is other moisture — and the team made a small scramble down to reach the area by foot, he said.

Rescuers used the traction boards and backboards to spread out their weight so that they didn't also become stuck, and they helped dig him out, Blackwelder said.

"One of the first things that we said was just, 'Hey, how's it going?'" Blackwelder recalled. "He was pretty tired and stuck and ready to get out."

The man was not a novice hiker, telling rescuers that he had hiked trails in other parts of the country, as well as in Utah, Blackwelder said.

"He just got into some innocuous-looking wet sand that happened to be quicksand," Blackwelder said. "And so for him, I think he was as surprised as we were to get the call."

In 2019, a hiker at a different national park in Utah, Zion National Park,became trapped in quicksand for a dayuntil he was rescued and eventually airlifted during snowy weather. That hiker was trapped up to his knee, park officials said, and the woman he was with hiked three hours to get a cell signal so she could call for help, officials said at the time.

NEED TO KNOW

• The young girl killed alongside her father in a fire at an RV park in England was awake when the fire started, a new inquest said on Tuesday, Dec. 9

• The cause of the fire remains unknown

• Authorities suspect an unattended cigarette or a phone malfunction caused the fire

A young girl killed alongside her father in a fire at an RV park in England in April was awake when the fire began, authorities said.

Coroner Lindsey Tasker opened the inquest into the deaths of Lee and Esme Baker on Tuesday, Dec. 9 at the Myles Cross Centre,Lincolnshire Livereports.

"Though the inquests are being held together, they are both separate inquests and each will have its own conclusion," Tasker said in court, per the outlet.

Tasker confirmed that authorities identified the bodies of Lee Baker, 48, and Esme Baker, 10, with dental records. A toxicology analysis conducted by Dr. Steven Morley reportedly found that Lee's blood alcohol levels were 172mg per 100ml of blood. The legal limit to drive in the U.K. is 80mg, per Lincolnshire Live.

Dr. Michael Biggs performed post-mortem exams for both father and daughter separately and found that both died from smoke inhalation. "Esme was sadly awake and breathing while exposed to a fire environment but she would have been rapidly overcome," Tasker added, the outlet reported.

The cause of the fire remains unknown, as much of the RV was destroyed in the blaze. Authorities suspect that a cigarette left unattended or a phone or tablet that malfunctioned could have started the deadly fire, but all contents were consumed by the flames, making the investigation difficult, according toThe Independent.

Simon Cartwright, the fire investigation officer for Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue, explained that the fire likely started in the rear of the RV.

"Lee was known to smoke cigarettes," Cartwright said in the inquest, per the outlet. "There was no evidence of smoking materials found inside or outside the caravan, however, this could be due to the intensity of the fire."

On April 5, police and fire services responded to the blaze at Golden Beach Holiday Park in Skegness at 03:53 a.m. local time, theBBCreported.

The NFL is heading back to Munich. After playing games in the German city in both 2022 and 2024, the NFL announced Wednesday it will return to Munich in both 2026 and 2028 for regular-season games.

The move is part of a multi-year partnership with both the city of Munich and FC Bayern Munich. Games will be hosted at Allianz Arena, where FC Bayern Munich plays its home games.

The NFL today announced it will return to Munich, Germany in 2026 and 2028 to play regular season games, as part of a multi-year partnership with the City of Munich and FC Bayern Munich.The games will be played at the FC Bayern Munich Stadium.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero)December 10, 2025

FC Bayern Munichconfirmed the partnership, with the mayor of Munich, Verena Dietl, expressing excitement over "spreading the enthusiasm" for American football in the city.

"I'm delighted about the extension of our contract with the NFL and it once again shows the importance and strength of Munich as a sporting city. The previous games not only won the hearts of the fans, but also strengthened our successful cooperation with the NFL. Together, we're committed to promoting American football in Germany and spreading the enthusiasm for the sport far beyond the stadiums. I'm looking forward to the upcoming games in 2026 and 2028, which will not only bring top-class sport, but also valuable impetus for grassroots sport in our city."

The NFL has played regular-season games in Munich two other times. The Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers played at Allianz Arena in 2022, with the Bucs coming out on top. Two years later, the Carolina Panthers beat the New York Giants in Munich.

Germany is no stranger to hosting NFL games at this point. In addition to those two contests, the Indianapolis Colts and Atlanta Falcons played a regular season game in Berlin earlier this year.The Colts wonthanks to a tremendous performance from running back Jonathan Taylor.

The NFL has not announced which teams will take part in the Munich game in 2026 or 2028.

In recent years, the NFL has pushed to expand play outside the United States. The league has scheduled a number of international games each year, with six taking place during the 2025 NFL season. The NFL has played at least one game in the United Kingdom regularly since the 2007 season and has expanded international play to Brazil, Spain and Mexico, among other countries, in recent seasons.

The 2026 Munich game marks one of six international games announced by the NFL for next season. In addition to playing in Germany next year, the NFL will also play in Australia, Brazil and Mexico. The league will also play two games in the United Kingdom in 2026.

The league announced the Los Angeles Rams will play in the Australia game and that the Jacksonville Jaguars will appear in one of the games in the United Kingdom, but have not revealed any other teams taking part in international games next season.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers turned to a familiar face to bolster their pass rush.

Three-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Jason Pierre-Paul was signed to the team's practice squad on Tuesday, nearly two years since he last played in an NFL game.

Pierre-Paul, who had 9 1/2 sacks for the 2020 Super Bowl champion Buccaneers, joins a group that includes veteran Haason Reddick and third-year player YaYa Diaby.

"Obviously, I've been wanting to play football since the beginning of the year," Pierre-Paul said. "(When the) opportunity comes, you're there, so that's basically what happened. There was an opportunity given and I made the best of it."

The 36-year-old Pierre-Paul was selected by the Giants with the 15th pick in the 2010 NFL draft. He spent eight seasons in New York, four in Tampa Bay, one in Baltimore and played a few games for New Orleans and Miami in 2023. He has 94 1/2 sacks in 14 seasons.

The four-time defending NFC South champion Buccaneers (7-6) are tied for first place with Carolina. They host Atlanta on Thursday night.

"As far as the training, and I've been doing a lot of training with my personal trainer, he doesn't stop, he trains every day," Pierre-Paul said. "I think he got me in the best shape — I won't say in my whole entire career, but damn near. I've seen the results, running around the lake and running sprints and running drills, I was able to kill the bad drills out there. I think I killed it and I just think staying in shape was one of the main keys and just not giving up."

Larry Foote, the Bucs' run game coordinator and outside linebackers coach, views Pierre-Paul as a voice players can relate to. Pierre-Paul hasn't played since Dec. 11, 2023, so it's not quite likePhilip Rivers coming back to the Indianapolis Coltsafter sitting out the last four seasons.

"(He's) a guy that can bring some of the intangibles that we cannot bring as coaches that I think he can help," Foote said. "That's the way I'm looking at it. His energy and his juice. ... We'll see what he can do the next couple of weeks. This is a short week, see if he (has) something in the tank. We worked him out and he looked good; I worked him out personally and he can still move and bend and he (has) that God-given freaky ability, and we'll see what he can do next week."
