Protests flared overnight in Portland, Oregon, after a federal immigration stop ended in gunfire, leaving two people injured. Meanwhile, tensions are rising in Minneapolis after inflammatory remarks by the Trump administration about Renee Nicole Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. Now, newly obtained cellphone video appears to show Good smiling just moments before she was killed. NBC News Senior National Law Enforcement and Intelligence Correspondent Tom Winter joins us to talk about why the situation seems to be escalating and what officials expect over the weekend. Plus, Iran has gone dark. The regime has imposed a sweeping internet blackout, cutting off access to WhatsApp, email and most international news, in response to mass protests entering their second week. NBC News Digital International Editor Babak Dehghanpisheh explains how U.S. foreign policy could be fanning the flames.
