Summary

NYC experienced a major snowstorm over the weekend, blanketing the city and surrounding tri-state towns with heavy snowfall. In Minnesota, a shooting involving ICE has intensified calls to remove ICE officers from the state. The incident involved 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed after an alleged gun confrontation with an ICE officer. This event has fueled demands for Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey to moderate their messages that encourage protesters to “stand up for what they believe in.” Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. Together, they analyze the weekend’s second fatal ICE protest encounter and discuss possible next steps for the administration amid increasing outrage from Democrats and anti-ICE activists in Minnesota. Howie also shares advice for those looking to escape the cold and snow.
