Here to help us understand this inflection point and how the country is responding to immigration enforcement is USA Today breaking news reporter Christopher Kahn.
Christopher, thank you so much for making the time to come back on the show.
Let's start with the news out of Minneapolis over the weekend, the killing of Alex Preddy.
What happened there?
Border Patrol leadership presented a very different narrative of events.
What were they saying and have they made any attempt to reconcile their version with what we've all seen with our own eyes?
Federal judge heard arguments contesting the legality of ongoing immigration enforcement in Minnesota yesterday.
This hearing was the result of a suit filed against Homeland Security by Minneapolis and the Twin Cities earlier in the month, alleging that the surge of 3,000 more agents amounted to a, quote,
federal invasion," end quote, and violated the state's sovereignty.
What did Homeland Security argue and when will the judge issue their ruling?
Christopher, there's also a lot of tension regarding state and local investigations into both the Rene Good shooting and now Alex Prede's as well.
What's the status there?
There's been a groundswell of protesters on the streets and sub-zero temperatures to contest immigration enforcement activities.
USA Today has national correspondent Trevor Hughes on the ground.
What is he telling you?
Have the two killings, first Renee Good and now Alex Preddy, made some people rethink their own safety?
How is Congress responding, Christopher?
What impact are videos posted on social media having?
And finally, do we have any sense of when federal agents will leave Minneapolis?
