Chapter 2: What recent events are impacting immigration policy in Minneapolis?
A federal judge holds a hearing today about whether to limit the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. This comes two days after federal agents shot a protester to death in the city. FBI Director Kash Patel says that protester Alex Preddy should not have had a firearm with him. But NPR's Luke Garrett reports some Republican lawmakers and gun rights groups disagree.
Trump administration officials continue to defend the federal agents who killed Preti. Here's FBI Director Kash Patel on Fox News Sunday.
You cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have that right to break the law.
There's been no evidence that NPR has verified of Preddy brandishing his handgun at any time during the encounter with federal agents. GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski said the video appears to show Preddy was killed after being disarmed. The Alaska senator called for an independent investigation and congressional hearings on the killing.
Murkowski said, quote, lawfully carrying a firearm does not justify federal agents killing an American. Luke Garrett, NPR News, Washington.
Meanwhile, Minnesota officials say that Alex Preddy had a legal permit to carry a gun. The National Weather Service has posted winter storm warnings from Indiana to Maine. The massive winter storm that hit most of the country over the past few days is still here. Several people have been killed across the country. Six people are believed to have died of hypothermia in New York City.
The tracking site PowerOutage.us says well over 800,000 customers don't have power. NPR's Joel Rose says that's going to be a major concern this week, especially in the South, which got a lot of ice.
In some places, the storm was all snow. In others, it turned into sleet and freezing rain. In much of the south, it left a coating of ice on roads and trees that made roads dangerous, if not totally impassable. It also brought down trees and branches and power lines. That left hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses without power across Tennessee, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
And Pierre's Joel Rose reporting. The Israeli military has launched an operation to find the body of the last deceased Israeli hostage in Gaza. And Pierre's Daniel Estrin has more from Tel Aviv.
