Six minutes of news from around the nation.

The family of Renee Good who was shot and killed by ICE, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, and as Florida downplays global warming, Climate Week pushes back, and new USDA research shows nutritional decline of factory-farmed salmon.

I'm Mike Clifford. 37-year-old Renee Good was one of two U.S. citizens fatally shot by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis in January.

On Thursday, her family sued the Trump administration, saying there had been no accountability for her killing during deportation stops.

NBC News notes Good was shot dead in her car by an ICE agent on January 7, when she and joined one of the city's daily protests against masked and armed federal agents deployed to Minnesota to arrest migrants for deportation.

Meantime, as Florida considers science standards that critics say downplay climate change, Florida Climate Week returns October the 5th with more than 130 free events statewide.

Its largest program in six years, Thais Lopez Vogel is president of Volo Foundation, which organizes the Week of Advocacy.

Floridians are not waiting for one solution.

They are developing their own solutions in their own neighborhoods and then sharing that works with other communities.

And like I always say, there's no future without environmental education.

Let's get to action.

Let's educate ourselves.

Jacksonville is hosting more than 25 events this year, up from 10 last year.

Programming includes Orange County's From Heat to Hurricanes panel and Rollins College's Florida Climate Fair.

Virtual sessions are available at floridaclimateweek.org.

For those interested in learning more about the new standards, the final stop on the state's science standards listening tour is Monday at Walton High School in Walton County, starting at 5 p.m.

The Reef Oceanographic Exploration Center in Key Largo will host a special experience where participants can learn fish survey methods, join a dive or snorkel, and contribute observations to the world's largest marine fish database.

Next, the federal government's updated dietary guidelines highlight salmon as a valuable source of protein and healthy fats.

But new USDA research shows the majority of salmon consumed by Americans isn't as nutritious as it used to be.

Scientists found a standard three-ounce serving of farmed Atlantic salmon now contains less than half the amount of omega-3 fatty acids, DHA, and EPA, which contradicts federal data used to determine nutritional value.

Laura Lee Cascada, director of the Aquaculture Accountability Project, says farmed salmon are being fed more land-based crops like soybeans and corn because the wild fish needed for fish meal are declining in number.

Farmed salmon are not a key part of our diet, and so really the best thing we can do is be skeptical at the grocery store, investigate the claims we see, and try to cut back wherever we can.

USDA researchers note their study included a small sample of salmon from Chilean producers in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., and that further studies are needed to determine whether nutritional values should be updated.

In Utah, rural voters often face long distances, unreliable mail service, and changing election rules ahead of the November 3rd midterm election.

The challenges are especially acute in San Juan County.

The Navajo Nation covers about one-third of the county's land, with more than 6,000 people in that area.

Laniece Peterman is Rural Director for Stewardship Utah.

She says rural residents can face both current and historic voting obstacles.

Rural counties, especially when we talk about San Juan, is so large that people who reside on Navajo Mountain literally have to drive four hours to get to a polling place.

The county lists Election Day sites in Blanding, Montezuma Creek, Monument Valley, Navajo Mountain, and Monticello.

Navajo and Ute language help and ballot boxes will be available at each site.

And a new report looked at more than 2,000 farms in Oregon and across the country, finding more sustainable farming practices produced the same amount of food and profits for farmers while storing massive amounts of carbon in the soil.

The ECDIS Foundation report showed soil at regenerative farms captures about 40 percent more carbon than on traditional farms, which in turn leads to more biodiversity and healthier food.

Jonathan Lundgren, executive director of the foundation, said if food producers converted row cropping to regenerative practices in North America, it would capture and store one to two years of annual greenhouse gas emissions.

When you compare that to the next technological solution, the results of those other solutions are laughable compared to what our food system is capable of.

Lundgren adds in Oregon, the study looked at hazelnut and vegetable farming.

He says farmers that are integrating animals like chickens into their systems are reducing chemical use and end up with more fertile soil and less dependency on costly fertilizers and other inputs.

Finally, larger planning efforts continue in states like Minnesota about meeting future energy demand.

Federal energy officials and the Minnesota Department of Commerce gathered in Malacca on Thursday to monitor progress on substation upgrades by East Central Energy.

It's getting new advanced sensor technology and other features to increase capacity.

The Department of Energy's Katie Harriza says the timing couldn't be better given all the challenges that lie ahead.

Increasing demand that we have to meet, but also ensuring that the grid is secure from terrible storms or even cyber attacks.

ECE is an electric cooperative serving 70,000 members in Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

Leaders promoting these upgrades often mention protecting customers from extreme weather events.
