Thanks for listening.

Hey, What's News listeners.

It's Sunday, January 25th.

I'm Alex Osola for The Wall Street Journal.

This is What's News Sunday, the show where we tackle the big questions about the biggest stories in the news by reaching out to our colleagues across the newsroom to help explain what's happening in our world.

On today's show, the Trump administration's immigration tactics have been on display in Minneapolis.

Residents have been pushing back and it's turned the city into a tinderbox.

Now, as immigration officers deploy elsewhere in the country, we're honing in on ICE to understand the changing landscape of what agents are allowed to do and potential challenges to that authority.

Earlier this month, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency sent more than 2,000 people to Minneapolis.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, immigration agents have arrested 3,000 people with alleged criminal histories who they say were in the U.S.

illegally since mid-December, calling the effort, quote, a huge victory for public safety.

However, ICE's increased presence and the shooting of Rene Good by an ICE officer earlier this month have sparked protests in the city and across the country, adding to clashes between locals and immigration agents that have swept through U.S.

cities over the past year.

So it had me wondering, what is ICE actually supposed to do?

And how has that changed during President Trump's second term?

I discuss these and more questions with Michelle Hackman, who covers immigration policy for The Journal.
