Independent Journalist Nick Shirley joins Will to tell the story behind his coverage of Minnesota’s Somali daycare fraud scandal, sharing how he has handled backlash from major news organizations such as CNN and the New York Times, and previewing his next steps. Story 2: The shooting of Renee Good has sparked a nationwide debate on whether the ICE shooting was justified, but it has also raised another question: Why is there such a disproportionate amount of liberal white women at anti-ICE protests?
