Today is Saturday, January 24th. The ice crackdown in Minneapolis has put the city and the country on edge.

Videos from the Twin Cities have spread quickly, showing arrests, protests, and confrontations that have sparked sharp debate about safety, accountability, and the role of federal law enforcement.

So today, we're listening to two very different perspectives on what's happening and why.

First,

you'll hear from Nicole Baderer, a Minneapolis-based sociologist and anti-violence expert,

who describes what life actually looks like on the ground from both her personal and professional

experiences. We talk about what's happening in neighborhoods and schools, as well as the forms of

resistance and response from residents. Then we'll turn to Matthew Silverman,

the national president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association. He shares how federal

agents are experiencing this moment, the risks they say they're facing, and why they believe

much of the context is being lost online. This episode is not meant to be about taking sides or

presenting arguing pundits. It's about

trying to understand a tense moment from multiple angles and what it means for communities, officers,

and the future of immigration enforcement. Welcome to the Newsworthy special edition Saturday,

when we sit down with a different expert or celebrity every Saturday to talk about something in the news. Don't forget to tune in every Monday through Friday for our regular

episodes where we provide all the day's news in less than 15 minutes. I'm Erica Mandy. It's now

time for today's special edition Saturday. Nicole Baderra, thank you so much for joining us here

on The Newsworthy.

Thank you for having me.

I'm glad to be here.

So I know you live in the Twin Cities.

Can you first share a bit about what you've actually seen or experienced there on the ground personally?
