The Mornin’ Experience — we’re breaking down the latest headlines stirring up national conversation. In Chicago, an ICE raid left women, children, and even U.S. citizens zip-tied in a South Shore apartment complex. DHS claimed the operation targeted Venezuelan gang members — but so far, there’s no proof anyone from Tren de Aragua was even there.

Meanwhile, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is going viral for comments slamming the NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show — warning the league that “they won’t be able to sleep at night.” On a brighter tech note, a breakthrough in reproductive medicine — doctors in Mexico have welcomed 20 babies conceived through an AI-powered IVF process.

This could change fertility care for families around the world. For our main story: Dave Chappelle’s comments from the Riyadh Comedy Festival are sparking major backlash after he claimed it’s “easier to be a comedian in Saudi Arabia than in America.” And while A-list comics like Kevin Hart and Chris Tucker took the stage, critics say the move ignores Saudi Arabia’s human rights record.

Finally, new reports raise fresh questions in the death of college student Trey Reed — a Kaepernick-funded independent autopsy found signs of blunt force trauma, contradicting the initial suicide ruling. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump has yet to confirm those findings.

It’s The Mornin’ Experience — where news meets nuance and culture meets conversation.
