NYC experienced a major snowstorm over the weekend, blanketing the city and surrounding tri-state towns with heavy snowfall. In Minnesota, a shooting involving ICE has intensified calls to remove ICE officers from the state. The incident involved 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed after an alleged gun confrontation with an ICE officer. This event has fueled demands for Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey to moderate their messages that encourage protesters to “stand up for what they believe in.” Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. Together, they analyze the weekend’s second fatal ICE protest encounter and discuss possible next steps for the administration amid increasing outrage from Democrats and anti-ICE activists in Minnesota. Howie also shares advice for those looking to escape the cold and snow. First Lady Melania Trump premiered her new movie on Saturday. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal criticized President Trump over the ICE shootings in NYC. Former Governor Cuomo’s closure of a major nuclear plant in NYC is also cited as a key reason for surging electric bills in New York. Mark interviews Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. Bruce shares practical tips for dealing with the aftermath of the snowstorm. He also turns to Governor Hochul’s spending priorities, which some argue are harming rather than helping New Yorkers. Bruce highlights his county’s comprehensive agreement with ICE, suggesting it could serve as a model for others.
