| 0:08.7 | That's where we're starting The Seven from the Washington Post. |
| 0:12.1 | I'm Hannah Jewell. It's Tuesday, January 27th. |
| 0:15.4 | Let's get you caught up with today's seven stories. |
| 0:25.8 | Yesterday, President Trump softened his tone on the immigration enforcement action in Minneapolis. It follows the killing of another U.S. citizen, Alex Pready, by federal |
| 0:32.7 | officers over the weekend, and polls which show Americans are turning against ice. |
