What happened in Minneapolis involving federal immigration officers?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst. Federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis today, drawing hundreds of protesters in a city already shaken by another fatal shooting weeks earlier. Senator Amy Klobuchar identified the man as 37-year-old Alex Preddy, an ICU nurse, and state officials say he was a U.S. citizen.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says Preddy approached agents with a gun and as they targeted a person they say was undocumented and armed. She says Preddy resisted violently and the agent shot him. But Minnesota Congresswoman Kelly Morrison disputes that claim.
We watched the videos of a masked federal agent shooting Alex in the back multiple times while he was pinned down by more than six other masked federal agents. And once again, DHS has come out with a predetermined narrative that contradicts everything we saw with our own eyes.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry says he will ask a judge Monday for a temporary restraining order against President Trump's immigration crackdown in the state. A massive winter storm is moving through a large swath of the U.S. from the southwest through the mid-Atlantic and up to the northeast. For Connecticut, it could be the biggest snow event in 10 years.
Connecticut Public Radio's Chris Polanski has more.
Officials say Connecticut could see up to 20 inches of snow beginning on Sunday. State Transportation Commissioner Garrett Ucolito says 900 snowplow drivers are at the ready. He asks residents to stay off the roads. We know we're New Englanders. We know how to handle winter weather. But I strongly encourage people to stay home on Sunday.
Governor Ned Lamont is calling on people to take the storm seriously.
Weather Channel often hypes up these storms.
This is the real McCoy, and I want you to pay special attention. The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings for most of southern New England from Sunday morning through Monday evening. For NPR News, I'm Chris Polanski in Hartford, Connecticut.
