   Fact-Check: Hawk’s Saturday Brief

   This article is generally accurate in its reporting of current events from January 10, 2026. The sources confirm the key claims:

   Minneapolis protests: CNN’s video coverage confirms police declared an "unlawful assembly" during anti-ICE demonstrations downtown, with correspondent Omar Jimenez reporting live from the scene. The article accurately represents this developing story.

   Iran protests: CNN’s second source verifies that anti-regime protests are indeed intensifying across Iran, matching the article’s brief description of "the latest wave" with "new footage and context."

   BLACF philanthropy awards: The Brainerd Dispatch source confirms all details—the foundation is accepting nominations through February 1, 2026, and the contact information (blacf@communitygiving.org, 218-824-5633) is accurate.

   Hawks-Nuggets game: The Times of India source, published January 9, 2026, confirms the matchup occurred on that date with detailed injury reports and viewing information as described.

   The article appropriately treats these as current events happening in real-time (January 2026), which aligns with the source publication dates. No misrepresentation of facts or misleading statements were identified. The brief format appropriately summarizes each story without adding unsupported claims.
