Police improved community relations after George Floyd. Is ICE a setback?

Booming flash bangs and fireworks rattled the frigid windows of Michelle Gross' home in North Minneapolis.

"It sounded like a war zone outside,' Gross said about the confrontation between federal agents throwing grenades and protesters lighting firecrackers on Jan. 14, after a man was shot. "I really feel like our federal government is out to get us. I never, ever thought I would say anything like this."

Gross, 68, the longtime leader of the nonprofitCommunities United Against Police Brutality, said she was just starting to feel better about the Minneapolis Police Department,six years after the murder of George Floyd.

But now, she said, that trust will evaporate unless she sees the police stand up to ICE and other federal authorities.

Federal agents continue surge of immigration enforcement in Minnesota

"I think the Minneapolis Police, a department that is desperately in need of rehabilitating their reputation, could be the heroes if they stand up to the feds," Gross said. "Some people feel they are either letting ICE attack the community by standing by, or they are helping them."

Confrontations between the public and federal agents across the country have put local police in a difficult spot. If they side with immigration agents, they will alienate area residents, who they need as crime-fighting allies. If they side with local residents, they put themselves at odds with larger, better-armed federal forces.

Courts may eventually resolve some of the power imbalance, but in the meantime, local police have a tightrope to walk.

"I get with local law enforcement that their hands are somewhat tied, and they don't want to be caught up in this, but at the same time, they don't want to close the door to at least having effective communication with the federal agents and ICE and CBP agents that are working in their jurisdiction," saidJill Snider, a retired New York Police Department detective and criminal justice director for the R Street Institute on pubic policy. "I have a lot of empathy for local law enforcement right now."

Federal, local officers acting like adversaries

As tensions remain in Minneapolis, Snider said she's worried about other ICE operations including Portland, Oregon, where more than 1,100 immigration arrests have been made since January 2025, andtwo protesters were shot by federal agentsearlier this month.

Her concerns also extend to the state of Maine, where federal officials said they havemade more than 100 arrestsin the first three days of what they call "Operation Catch of the Day."

In both of those states, local law enforcement are not cooperating with federal officers. Maine'snew lawprohibiting its law enforcement from investigating, detaining, arresting, or searching a person solely for immigration enforcement purposes is in effect months earlier than initially scheduled.

"It seems clear that the relationship between local law enforcement and the Justice Department has become adversarial, and these tensions seem like they've been intentionally created and enflamed by the federal government," said Stacey Young, a former 18-year employee of the Department of Justice who served as a Senior Attorney in the Civil Division and later in the Civil Rights Division. "We're likely to see a continued erosion of trust in American communities like Minneapolis and Portland."

Regular citizens likely don't understand the difference between local police and federal officials, painting them both with the same brush, said Snider, who also teaches at theJohn Jay College of Criminal Justicein New York City.

Snider worries that if the agencies are operating in silos or at cross purposes, it could cause more harm than good, especially for local police.

"This could lead to fewer people willing to call 911 if they are the victim of a crime, they're maybe less likely to cooperate if they are a witness to a crime, and police really rely on that type of information from the general public when they are trying to solve crimes," Snider said.  "Now, it seems more and more people are becoming skeptical of any actions that law enforcement is taking."

Minneapolis still recovering from George Floyd's murder

The Minneapolis police department has tried since the shooting of George Floyd in 2020 to improve their relationship with residents.

"There's been some good progress made between the (Minneapolis) police and the community," saidMinnesota State Sen. Aisha Gomez, a Democrat whose district includes the south Minneapolis neighborhood where an ICE agentfatally shot Renee Nicole Goodon Jan. 7. "But, all it will take is another really bad episode to challenge the work that has been done."

MinneapolisMayor Jacob FreytoldCNN on Jan. 22that his city has worked for years with federal agencies, including the ATF, FBI, DEA and the U.S. Attorney's office, to drive down violent crime. Frey cited a partnership that has worked especially well in North Minneapolis, where shootings are now at a record low.

"If this (situation with immigration agents) were about safety, there would be a whole lot of opportunity to partner up and do it. But this is not about safety, it's not even about immigration," Frey said. "What we are seeing right now, this is about political retribution, and it's about causing chaos on our streets. No, it's not helpful."

The F-bomb heard across America:Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey tries to break ICE

Minnesota State House Republican Floor LeaderHarry Niska, of suburban Ramsey, in a Jan. 15 statement accused state Democratic leaders of using  "extreme and reckless rhetoric," and said the unnecessary tension between local and federal officials could be easily defused.

"Here in Minnesota, the solution is straightforward," Niska said. "Defying federal law and demonizing federal law enforcement is not working and is only making the situation worse."

Either way, local police are in the middle, trying to strike "a delicate balance," saidMichael Burbank, a vice president of law enforcement initiatives at the Center for Policing Equity.

"More communication, compassion, and transparency are needed to make people understand what's happening for everybody's sake," Burbank said. "And perhaps less rhetoric, from both sides."

Since former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was accused and later convicted of killing of George Floyd, the department has been under a microscope, he noted.

The police departments of Minneapolis and neighboring St. Paul have 1,400 officers combined; there are reportedly 3,000 immigration agents in the region at the moment.

MinnesotaState Senate President Bobby Joe Champion, whose north Minneapolis district was the site of the second federal agent shooting on Jan. 14, recalled a resident asking him whether they could get through this unprecedented crisis.

"I told them I think we will get through this, but the question is what sort of shape will we be in when we get to the other side?" Champion said, as he was out in his north Minneapolis district in freezing temperatures trying to calm residents down. "And I'm not just talking about what's happening in Minneapolis and Minnesota, I'm talking about the entire nation."

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara toldCNN on Jan. 22that he's seen several videos of federal agents using force with residents in ways that "do not align at all with Minneapolis Police policy or, in general, law enforcement training in the state of Minnesota."

The chief said those actions have an impact on all law enforcement, including the Minneapolis Police and its relationship with the community.

"The cops in this town have worked very hard over the last five years to try and rebuild the trust that was completely lost in 2020," O'Hara said. "Those officers lived for years through a time where, you know, they couldn't even go to local businesses and feel welcome.

"They felt ostracized wherever they went in this city," O'Hara continued. "They worked very, very hard to change the relationship with the community, and the concern is that what is happening here today is jeopardizing their hard work."

These islands were bought by US. Now they have a message for Greenland.

Traces of Denmark's 250-year imperial reign are still visible on St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. John and the smattering of tiny islets that today make up the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Cities and street signs hold Danish names, like Frederiksted; buildings feature yellowish-red bricks brought on boats across the Atlantic; and the stone facades of sugar plantations where enslaved Africans were forced to labor still stand.

They're interspersed with evidence of the islands' vibrant Caribbean culture ‒ from colorfully costumed dancers to drum-driven melodies — and the McDonald's and Home Depot stores that reflect its now century-long status as an unincorporated territory of the United States.

AsPresident Donald Trumpnegotiates a "framework of a future deal"with Denmark for access to Greenland, some residents of the tropical territory say they feel like they're rewatching their own past.

Greenlanders march in defiance of Trump's efforts to claim the island

More:Trump says US getting 'total access' to Greenland

"History never repeats itself in the same way, but it shows up in a different form," said Stephanie Chalana Brown, an Afro-Caribbean visual historian with deep roots in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Brown said her ancestors were among the first enslaved by Danish colonial powers and she is now among a cohort of people working to secure reparations from Denmark.

As slaves, then as residents of theDanish-turned-United States territory, Brown said her relatives were sold without their consent. A century later, she worries residents of Greenland are facing the same threat her ancestors did of not having a seat at the table over decisions on the future use of their lands.

"I understand it because the same thing happened to my relatives," Brown said. "I don't want to see it happen to another place."

The annexation of the Virgin Islands

More than a century ago, President Woodrow Wilson bought the islands, then called the Danish West Indies, from Denmark, for $25 million after threatening to take them with force.

At the time, a war was raging in Europe and the United States was seeking to assert its dominance in Latin America. Using many of the same arguments Trump has in jockeying for control of Greenland, Wilson said he wanted the islands for strategic reasons: to secure new trade routes and prevent adversaries from dominating the region.

The nation's rival then wasn't China or Russia but Germany, the aggressor in World War I. The war heightened fears that Germany would absorb Denmark and its territories – a perceived threat to the United States.

After the 1917 purchase, the islands served for decades as a strategic Caribbean outpost for the United States military and a hub of naval operations. But the Navy air station on the territory closed in 1948, and the islands never became the significant military asset once envisioned.

More:Greenland isn't the first territory America wanted from Denmark. Here's another.

The roughly 26,000 inhabitants scattered across St. John, St. Croix and St. Thomas in 1917 were not given a say in the acquisition, though Denmark did hold a referendum for its mainland residents. After the transaction, it took more than a decade for Virgin Islanders to gain United States citizenship.

Islanders were given the right to vote for their own governor in 1970. Today, like residents of other U.S. territories, citizens in the Virgin Islands cannot vote for president and do not have a voting representative in Congress.

Virgin Islanders reflect on Greenland

Felipe Ayala, a member of the St. Thomas Historical Trust, said he's heard conversations about Trump's Greenland desires, but mostly in "private circles." People, he said, are more focused on the international actions happening right in their back yard.

Two Navy aircraft carriers, theUSS Gerald R. Fordand the USS Iwo Jima, docked in the U.S. Virgin Islands in December to aid in the Trump administration's efforts to disrupt drug trafficking and later to capture Venezuelan leaderNicolás Maduro.

The ships marked the firstmajor Navy presenceon the island in decades. Some residents welcomed the ships, and the sailors they brought, as a welcome economic boost for the island, Ayala said. Others were frightened.

"When we step off our porches, most of the houses overlook the harbor and the bay," he said. "To see aircraft carriers and knowing the political climate of the region, it took us a little off guard."

In the aftermath of his military actions in Venezuela, Trumpratcheted up calls to annex Greenlandand refused to rule out doing so through military force.

Trump on Jan. 23 appeared to walk back some of that rhetoric, saying that the United States would have "total access" to the Arctic island through a deal he was negotiating. He conceded that he may not end up formally acquiring Greenland.

"It's possible. Anything's possible," Trump said of U.S. ownership.

The details of the emerging agreement remain murky. So does the role Greenland's own legislature is playing in the discussions.

For Brown, and other Virgin Islanders with ancestry tied to Danish colonialism, the recent discussions over Greenland's future have spurred heightened empathy and concern for the 57,000 inhabitants of the 836,000-square-mile island with a climate much different from their own.

"Is he bringing them to the table to talk about policies?" she asked of Trump's plans for America's military footprint on the island. "Those things weren't extended to Virgin Islanders."

Most Greenlanders are Inuit, an Indigenous people who also live in Alaska and Canada. Greenlandic, the language they speak, is vastly different from Danish. And their traditions are distinct from those found in Denmark, Western Europe and America.

If the United States builds up its military presence on Greenland, Brown also said she worried the island could experience some of the same Americanization she says is happening in the Virgin Islands.

"You see the washing of our children's identity away where you know they're learning about American culture from the influence of things like television and radio," she said. "We are losing our own Caribbean identity."

"I hope that doesn't happen to them as well," Brown said of Greenland.

Snow, ice, sleet and rain: Tens of millions of Americans hunker down for winter storm

Much of the nation east of the Rocky Mountains is hunkered down for what could bethe worst winter storm of the season, followed by some of the coldest temperatures seen in years.

The storm began out of Texas and Oklahoma Friday evening, hitting the region with heavy sleet and snow. Forecasters have warned of "catastrophic" ice accumulation. On Saturday, the system is expected to push towards Virginia, dumping a foot of snow or more on parts of the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic, while New England sees double-digit subzero temperatures.

"Take this storm seriously, folks," theNational Weather Servicewarned in statements on social media. "The cold can be deadly."

By late Friday evening, forecasters in Lubbock, Texas, warned that the mix of falling sleet and snow would make for dangerous driving conditions; thousands of Saturday flights were scrapped; Catholic faith leaders fromArkansastoWashington, D.C., gave special permission to miss Mass; Trump administration officials told employees toskipcoming into work; and even ice hockey teams were forced toreschedule.

Here's what to know about the weekend's storm expected to hit tens of millions of Americans.

Salt shortages reported in some states

States from Michigan to Vermont are facing salt shortages ahead of the upcoming storm, according to reports by local and national outlets.

Shortages in Vermont result from the frequency of storms this season, according to reporting byVermont Public. The lack of salt has forced some towns to scale back ice removal.

State officials in Michigan also attributed shortages to the severe winter season,CBS Newsreported. An official from Monroe County, located between Detroit and Ohio, told the news station that local crews used more salt in December than in the past four Decembers combined.

Officials in Cleveland are telling residents that they may not have enough salt for residential streets. Plows will still be assigned to clear neighborhoods, the city said.

Can Southerners handle snow? These famous winter storms hit the South.

Forecasters are projecting over 6 inches of snow to fall on areas from New Mexico through the Texas Panhandle and Mississippi Valley, while freezing rain and sleet are expected to pound the Southern Plains, the Mid-South, Tennessee Valley and the southern Mid-Atlantic.

For southern states less equipped for the cold, the forecast sparks fears of a repeat of the 2021 Texas freeze or the bitterly cold winter storm that battered New Orleans in January 2025.

Meteorologists have, luckily, said they don't expect this weekend's storm to be as devastating as others in recent Southern history. But as thousands of people have taken to prepping for the worst-case scenario,buying out storesand fortifying their homes, here's a look back at how the U.S. South has endured major winter storms of the past.

• The Great Appalachian Storm of 1950: Nov. 22-30, 1950. Thanksgiving weekend in 1950 was marked by a wintry storm that dumped a deadly amount of snow across the Appalachian region. Heavy snowfall blanketed the area in 30 to 50 inches and, in the case of  Coburn Creek, West Virginia, a whopping 62 inches, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

• Storm of the Century: March 12-15, 1993. This Category 5 storm affected over 100 million people and caused the largest weather-related air travel interruption in the U.S., according to NOAA. The heaviest snow fell from the southern Appalachians to the Canadian border, with some locations reporting over 40 inches. Five feet of snow fell in the Smoky Mountain National Park, while 56 inches fell in Mount LeConte, Tennessee, reported the weather service.

Readmore hereabout past disasters, from the New Year's Snowstorm of 1964 which dropped more than 17 inches of snow on Huntsville, Alabama to the Christmas Coastal Snowstorm of 1989 that saw all-time low temperatures hit coastal North Carolina.

Swiss bar owner released on bail after deadly New Year's fire, prompting outcry

By Emma Farge

GENEVA, Jan 24 (Reuters) - The owner of a Swiss bar that was engulfed in a deadly New Year's Day fire was released from ​detention on bail on Friday, court authorities said, prompting anger and incomprehension from ‌victims' families and Italy's prime minister.

Jacques Moretti and his wife Jessica are under investigation for negligent homicide and ‌other crimes linked to the blaze that killed 40 people and injured more than 100, many of them teenagers. Many of the survivors are still hospitalised with severe burns in hospitals across Europe.

Jacques Moretti was detained on January 9. His bail arrangements include a 200,000 ⁠Swiss franc ($253,485) payment and an order ‌to report daily to a police station, the court said.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called the decision to release him "an affront to the ‍memory of the victims of the New Year's Eve tragedy and an insult to their families, who are suffering from the loss of their loved ones."

"The Italian government will demand answers from ​the Swiss authorities about what happened," she wrote on X. Six of the dead ‌were Italian as were 10 of those injured.

Lawyers for the victims and their families also said they were struggling to understand the court order and said their clients were concerned about evidence disappearing.

"My clients note that once again no consideration has been given to the risk of collusion or the disappearance of evidence — a risk that greatly worries them ⁠and jeopardises the integrity of the proceedings," said ​Romain Jordan, a Swiss lawyer for over 20 families ​of victims.

The owners have both expressed grief over the tragedy and said they would cooperate with prosecutors.

"Jessica and Jacques Moretti will both continue to ‍comply with all requests ⁠from the authorities," their lawyers said in a written statement after the release order.

Prosecutors said they had interviewed the bar owners about safety issues and renovations of ⁠Le Constellation bar during two hearings that had each lasted more than 10 hours.

They had also ordered ‌searches, secured evidence and seized assets, they added.

Is apocalypse imminent? See other signs as 'Doomsday Clock' change looms

Most are familiar with theDoomsday Clockthat counts down humanity's potential for self-destruction amid global threats. Currently set at 89 seconds to midnight, the new 2026 timings will be revealed on Tuesday, Jan. 27.

But did you know there's also a Doomsday Plane and a so-called Doomsday Fish?

Here's what to know about these signs of impending doom, including more details about the Doomsday Clock.

Oarfish foreshadows natural disaster

While anoarfish sightingdoes serve as symbol of "impending doom," the catastrophe its presence in shallow waters foreshadows is earthquake, not so much "end days." But terrifying, nonetheless.

Multiple fish have been spotted along the Southern California coastline, Mexicoand in Taiwan,approximately five in total since 2023.

According to travel outletAtlas Obscura, legend says the fish, also known as "ryugu no tsukai," belonged to the servants of sea god Ryūjin and served messengers of the palace, warning people of earthquakes by surfacing in shallow waters.

Doomsday Plane built to only protect president, staff

A "sign" that is more indicative of an impending apocalypse than not is the construction of another nuclear attack proof aircraft,nicknamed the "Doomsday Plane."

According to a May 2024 report from the Reno Gazette Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network,Sierra Nevada Corp. landed a "multibillion-dollar award" from the U.S. Air Force to develop a newer E-4B Nightwatch aircraft.

The Doomsday Plane is intended to serve as an "aerial command center" for the president, the secretary of defense and the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during national emergencies.

The Air Force is expected to receive the next-generation E-4B replacement by 2036. The "Doomsday" plane wasspottedearlier this month, inciting some healthy concern, after it flew over parts of the country.

Will the Doomsday Clock be adjusted? And when?

According to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the 2026 Doomsday Clock time willbe revealed at 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Jan. 27.Scientists and world experts are slated to offer insights about the time itself, specifically why it's ticked closer to, or away from midnight.

The closer to a setting of midnight, the higher the likelihood of a man-made global catastrophe, especially global nuclear war.

Created in 1947, the Doomsday Clock was created to convey threats to humanity and the Earth using the imagery of apocalypse (midnight) and the contemporary idiom of nuclear explosion (countdown to zero).

Yaxel Lendeborg boosts No. 3 Michigan to rivalry win over Ohio State

Yaxel Lendeborg scored 18 points and had nine rebounds when No. 3 Michigan pulled away for a 74-62 victory over Ohio State in Ann Arbor, Mich., on Friday.

The Wolverines (18-1, 8-1 Big Ten) trailed by six in the second half and led just 52-51 with eight minutes left but dominated from there for their fourth straight win.

Trey McKenney scored 12 for Michigan, as did Morez Johnson Jr., who made 6 of 6 shots. Aday Mara chipped in with 11 points and four blocks.

John Mobley Jr. had 22 points for the Buckeyes (13-6, 5-4 Big Ten) and Christoph Tilly added 17 while team leading scorer Bruce Thornton (20.7 average) had 10.

Elliot Cadeau's 3-pointer for his first points of the game with 7:52 to play gave the Wolverines a 55-51 lead. A pair of free throws by Mara and a second-chance 3-pointer from Cadeau made it 60-51.

Later, an emphatic dunk by Mara and a layup through the gut of the defense by Lendeborg on the break extended the lead to 66-56 with 4:52 left. That was part of a 9-0 run that pushed the margin to 71-56.

After Ohio State went up 40-34 early in the second half, the Wolverines reeled off 11 straight points for a 45-40 lead before Amare Bynum hit a 3-pointer from the top of the arc.

Earlier, Michigan overcame a six-point deficit with a 19-10 run to end the half to take a 33-30 lead.

It was tied at 30 with 45 seconds left when Mara made the first of two free throws. He missed the second but Lendeborg grabbed the rebound and L.J Cason scored on a goaltending call for the three-point margin.

The Wolverines at halftime raised the No. 3 jersey of 2013 national player of the year Trey Burke in the rafters, the sixth jersey to receive the honor.

The timing was no coincidence. Burke played at Columbus Northland High School, about 15 minutes from the Ohio State campus.

Donovan "Puff" Johnson had no points in five minutes in his Ohio State debut. The 25-year-old sixth-year forward received a temporary restraining order against the NCAA on Jan. 16 allowing him eligibility to play for the Buckeyes this season.

He had previously been denied a medical hardship waiver after missing 54 games in his career at Penn State and North Carolina.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) expects to miss at least month

One of the hottest topics in the NBA is whether the Milwaukee Bucks will deal Giannis Antetokounmpo ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline.

The asking price for the superstar could be affected by the right calf injury that Antetokounmpo sustained in the Bucks' Friday game against the visiting Denver Nuggets.

Antetokounmpo is headed for an MRI on Saturday, but he believes he will miss four to six weeks of action.

"After the MRI, they will tell me, probably, I popped something in my calf on my soleus or something," Antetokounmpo said. "... This is from my experience being around the NBA.

"After that, I'm going to work my butt off to come back. That will probably be the end of February, beginning of March. Hopefully the team plays (well enough) that we can at least make the play-in or the playoffs. Just take it day by day, get better."

Antetokounmpo got hurt in the first quarter on Friday, exited briefly and came back to play a total of 32 minutes, compiling team-high totals of 22 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists.

However, Antetokounmpo left the game for good with 34.2 seconds remaining after he came up limping in transition. The Bucks trailed the Nuggets 99-94 at the time and wound up losing 102-100.

"I was feeling it majority of the game but did not want to stop playing," Antetokounmpo said. "But at the end, I could not move no more, so I had to stop."

Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers said of allowing Antetokounmpo to continue playing after the first-quarter issue, "I asked our (medical) team five different times. I didn't like what my eyes were seeing, personally. Giannis was defiant about staying in."

Antetokounmpo, 31, is averaging 28.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists through 30 games this season.

A nine-time All-Star, two-time Most Valuable Player and a 2021 NBA champion, Antetokounmpo owns career averages of 24.0 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 889 games over 13 seasons.
