Chapter 1: What are the latest developments in federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. Some 2,500 federal immigration officers remain in Minneapolis, with more possibly on the way. Protests and raids have continued, but the city has been relatively quiet for the last few days, in part due to frigid temperatures, as NPR's Kat Lonsdorff reports.
The Department of Homeland Security has not released a breakdown of the number of arrests made by federal immigration officers here in Minneapolis. But in a tweet, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem says there have been 3,000 in the six weeks since the federal surge began. NPR has not been able to independently verify that number.
Several American citizens were among those detained in Minneapolis and later released. Meanwhile, many here say they plan to continue pushing back. I really think there is a sense of we'll do this for as long as we need to. 37-year-old resident Talia Pletcher says she and her neighbors are in it for the long haul. Kat Lonsdorf, NPR News, Minneapolis.
When President Trump arrives at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland Wednesday, he will be met by European leaders anxious and angry about his latest threats to take Greenland and impose more tariffs. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports.
European Parliament member Bernard Guetta says Trump's inflammatory threat to slap tariffs on any country that tries to stop him from taking Greenland went too far.
All the countries and all the political forces were so shocked, deeply shocked by this incredible attitude. Actually, Mr. Trump is making the European unity much stronger every day.
Guetta says Europe has been taking it from the Trump administration because it can't afford to lose U.S. support on Ukraine, but there are limits. He says the EU is ready to apply counter-sanctions and more. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Paris.
Across the U.S. today, communities celebrated the legacy of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and pledged to carry on his work in divisive political times. Brian Bull of member station KLCC reports.
More than a thousand people marched in frigid weather through Eugene. While many carried signs with MLK's portrait or quotes, some denounced President Trump and ICE. DeMond Hawkins of the Eugene Springfield branch of the NAACP said that between Trump's anti-DEI initiatives and the Supreme Court's chipping away at the Voting Rights Act, there are struggles ahead.
