What recent event sparked a vigil in Minneapolis?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. A vigil was held in Minneapolis last night, marking one month since Renee Macklin Good was shot and killed by a federal immigration agent. Good's wife, Rebecca, was there. She didn't speak, but a statement from her was read by Rabbi Ariel Lakach Rosenberg.
Minneapolis has shown me that even in the middle of grief and fear, people still show up for each other. For that, I want to say thank you.
Weeks after Macklingood was killed, another person was shot dead by a federal immigration agent, 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Preddy. Protests have continued in Minnesota over the presence of ICE agents. even after the Trump administration last week announced a partial withdrawal.
The State Department has confirmed it's removing posts from its official accounts on the social media platform X made before President Trump returned to office last year. NPR's Shannon Bond reports.
State Department staff were told anyone who wants to see posts from the Obama, Biden, or first Trump terms will have to file a Freedom of Information Act request, according to an employee who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation. That's different from how the government typically archives the online footprint of previous administrations.
For example, ex-accounts for the president and the White House are handed over to the new administration, and old posts move to a publicly available archive account. The State Department told NPR it wants to, quote, speak with one voice on social media. The move comes as the Trump administration has removed wide swaths of information from government websites. Shannon Bond, NPR News.
Russia is continuing to attack Ukraine's power grid during one of the most brutal winters in years. The capital, Kyiv, has had electricity for just a couple hours a day. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports temperatures there have been well below freezing.
Ukraine's largest energy provider, DTEK, said hundreds of Russian drones and missiles targeted the electricity network Saturday, damaging two thermal power plants and key high-voltage substations. Damage to those substations forced operators to reduce output at nuclear power plants, leading to a significant loss of available electricity in Ukraine.
Ukraine gets about 70% of its electricity from nuclear power. In his nightly address Saturday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia continues to attack in massive strikes that are contrary to ongoing diplomatic work to end the war. This is a level of attack that no terrorist in the world has ever allowed itself, said Zelensky. Russia, he said, must feel the response of the entire world.
