Summary

This week on Face the Nation, as a paralyzing winter storm barrels through a vast part of the country, the standoff between federal law enforcement agencies and the Minneapolis community explodes following yet another deadly shooting of a protestor. Alex Pretti was shot and killed Saturday morning outside a donut shop amid what federal officials say was an unrelated immigration operation led by Customs and Border Protection agents. Interpretations of the extensive videos of the shooting are mixed -- and much like the shooting death of Renee Good in Minneapolis just over two weeks ago, federal and state officials are at odds over what happened and why -- and who should investigate. We'll have a report from the scene and talk exclusively to Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara. Then, turn to the bigger picture as Senate Democrats threaten to block funding for ICE and DHS agencies while the public increasingly wary of ICE actions--and the subsequent pushback.  We speak with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Maine Independent Senator Angus King, whose home state is the site of ICE's new deportation operation called "Catch of the Day." We'll also talk with the outgoing Canadian ambassador to the U.S., Kirsten Hillman about the growing divide between the U.S. and our neighbors to the north.
