    This week on Face the Nation, anti-ICE protests spread nationwide, and the Trump administration struggles to deal with exploding tensions around the world. Four days after an ICE agent shot and killed a protester in Minneapolis, the struggle to own the narrative of what exactly happened continues, and scrutiny over the use of force by ICE as part of the Trump administration's deportation process intensifies. We talk with Minneapolis-area Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar on the latest in her home state. Then, as the deadly protests in Iran spread, are the regime's days numbered? And what's the Trump administration's red line when it comes to taking more action against Iran? Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine joins us with his assessment on what’s next in the region and his effort to reign in presidential war powers. Finally, the administration tries to work with what's left of Maduro's government, even as they continue to support their now imprisoned former leader as President Trump makes plans to take advantage of Venezuela's oil and mineral rich land. We ask Energy Secretary Chris Wright about where oil talks stand. Plus, Republican Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar joins us to discuss the Venezuelan opposition’s path forward and the reaction in her South Florida district.
