The New York Times • • nation
Key Points:
- Federal immigration agents and protesters in Minneapolis are contending with harsh January weather, including snow and ice, complicating enforcement actions and demonstrations.
- Temperatures are expected to drop to around zero degrees, an Arctic blast that could hinder both the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and ongoing protests related to the death of Renee Good.
- Minnesota officials are closely monitoring the situation, hoping that severe cold might reduce unrest and make it more difficult for ICE agents to operate.
- Protesters, however, believe that colder weather could work to their advantage, showing resilience despite the harsh conditions.
