What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Some rough weather. I'm Paul Stevens, Fox News. A powerful bomb cyclone packs heavy snow, strong winds and dangerous travel conditions for parts of the southeast. Fox Weather's Mike Seidel is in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina.
We've got tropical storm for sustained winds.
What severe weather conditions are affecting the southeast?
These are running about 45 miles an hour up in southern shores. They've had five inches so far. And through Sunday morning, we're going to pick up another four to six inches of snow. And the winds will gust upwards of 60, potentially 70 miles an hour. So we could have some sporadic power outages as we get the first light here on Sunday morning. Meanwhile, looking down the beach, I think our visibility is about a half a mile. So I'm going to call this moderate snow. This is about a half an inch to an inch an hour.
And over 15,500 US flights have been either canceled or delayed because of that nor'easter since Friday. The FBI is investigating the origin of potentially funded anti-ice protests.
Now, quote, the FBI is investigating paid protest campaigns throughout the country, including organizers, protesters, and funding sources that drive illicit activities. There are news reports of labor unions, Black Lives Matter, socialist and communist groups, among others, organizing or encouraging anti-ice protests. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a free speech advocacy organization, says only in narrow circumstances can the government punish funders, like when they intentionally direct money to specific illegal acts. But, quote, broad investigations into support for political advocacy set a dangerous precedent that threatens organizations across the political spectrum.
And that is Fox's Rich Edson in D.C. Democrat Christine Menefee has won a special election for a U.S. House seat in Texas, narrowing a Republican slim majority. America is listening to Fox News.

A federal judge orders ICE to release a five-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father from a detention center in Texas.
U.S. District Judge Fred Berry sharply criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, writing, "...it appears to be driven by daily quotas, even at the cost of traumatizing children." He ordered ICE to release five-year-old Ecuadorian Liam Conheo-Ramos and his father from a detention center in South Texas by Tuesday. Images of Liam with a bunny hat and a Spider-Man backpack being surrounded by ICE agents in Minneapolis sparked even more outcry about the immigration crackdown. It also led to protests at the family detention center in Dilley, Texas, prompting state troopers to deploy tear gas. Carmen Roberts, Fox News.
Now, the family's lawyers say they are in the U.S. legally under an asylum claim, but federal officials argue their immigration parole expired in April. Anti-ICE protests continue across the U.S., including in New York, where Governor Kathy Hochul moves to end any local cooperation with ICE with a new proposal.
Sokal's proposal is called Local Cops, Local Crimes Act, and it would nix deals that several New York counties currently have with ICE that give local officers the authority to help on immigration matters during their regular duties or even allow these areas to hold immigrants in county jails. Hochul said her proposal would strictly limit cooperation with ICE to criminal investigations. The Department of Homeland Security is telling Fox and Park, quote, when politicians bar local law enforcement from working with DHS, our law enforcement officers have to have a more visible presence so that we can find and apprehend the criminals let out of jails and back into communities.
And that's Fox's C.B. Cotton in New York. Fourteen law enforcement agencies across New York counties have agreements in place that do allow their officers to cooperate with ICE.
