Consider This from NPR

After the shooting of Alex Pretti, the Trump administration is making a leadership change in Minneapolis. Will anything change?

A new Trump administration official has taken over the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.

Tom Homan, the White House’s so-called border czar, takes over after the departure of Border Patrol’s Gregory Bovino, who has been the public face of the operation, including encounters that left two American citizens dead.

NPR's Scott Detrow talks to The Atlantic investigative journalist Caitlin Dickerson about Homan's background and what it will mean for Minneapolis.

Will a new leader for ICE operations quiet tensions in Minnesota?

Pennsylvania democratic Governor Josh Shapiro on resisting Trump policies, his faith and whether he plans to run for president.

Shapiro is one of the most prominent Jewish officeholders in the US. In a new memoir “Where we Keep the Light” Shapiro explores his faith, as well as his career in politics… one that's taken him from state representative, to Pennsylvania attorney general to a swing state governor.

Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro on resisting Trump

Tensions escalate in Minneapolis after a second U.S. citizen is killed by immigration officers.

It was a deadly weekend in Minneapolis. 

On Saturday, federal immigration officers fatally shot a 37-year-old ICU nurse and U.S. citizen — Alex Pretti.

Multiple videos captured the moments before, during and after the shooting.

Federal officials claim Pretti “brandished” a weapon and tried to assault officers as they conducted an immigration enforcement operation.

There is no evidence in the videos, which NPR has verified, that Pretti was ever brandishing his handgun.

Tensions escalate in in Minnesota after another killing

The third Minneapolis shooting in three weeks has renewed questions about immigration agents’ role, training, and use of force. Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, says the border patrol and ICE agents operating in Minneapolis aren’t using the kinds of de-escalating tactics that local police have been using for at least a decade.

How to de-escalate in Minneapolis

Even before this latest war in Gaza, NPR’s Jerusalem-based Correspondent Daniel Estrin and Gaza reporter Anas Baba had spent years working together in challenging circumstances. Once war broke out, they had to adapt to a situation that made reporting together even more difficult.

Miles and worlds apart: two NPR reporters on covering the war in Gaza

So much has happened since ICE ramped up efforts in Minneapolis. It can be hard to get a sense of the big picture. Two NPR reporters on the ground do just that.

It’s been nearly two months since ICE descended on the streets of Minneapolis. In that time, Renee Macklin Good has been shot and killed, children have been detained, and the federal government’s campaign to arrest undocumented immigrants has only grown bigger, more aggressive, and more intense.

What's really happening in Minnesota?

Scientists say research into a vaccine for HIV is further along than it’s ever been.

But Trump administration cuts to scientific research have set that effort back.

Including a promising trial for an HIV vaccine in Africa – which was shut down altogether.

NPR’s Ari Daniel has the story of how researchers there refused to give up.

Ari’s reporting for this story was supported by a grant from the Pulitzer Center. The Gates Foundation is a financial supporter of NPR.

How HIV researchers overcame setbacks and kept a vaccine trial going

In the first year of his second term, President Trump has repeatedly said and done things that were previously assumed to be unacceptable to voters.

Whether on Greenland or Gaza, federal prosecutions or federal spending, immigration enforcement or sending the U.S. military to protests of immigration enforcement, the Trump administration appears undeterred on almost all of its agenda.

As Ashley Parker wrote in The Atlantic this week — the Trump administration has pushed the window of what’s possible in American politics so far that his opposition seems exhausted.

She discusses her essay, “Trump Exhaustion Syndrome.”

How Trump moves political norms – both slowly and suddenly

President Trump’s insistence that the U.S. acquire Greenland could become a major international crisis.

He's now threatened tariffs on eight NATO allies who have expressed their opposition to the idea, and that is shaking up the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week. 

And more tariffs would increase costs for American businesses at a time when American voters are talking about affordability at home.

Willem Marx reports from Davos, and NPR’s Scott Horsley and Mara Liasson recap the economic and political fallout.

Trump is escalating European tensions. What are the consequences?

President Trump has spent his first year back in office blurring the lines between business and government. 

The administration has bought shares in private companies like Intel, NVIDIA, and others involved in mining and energy. President Trump has also publicly pressured CEOs, and forced the restructuring of social media giants like TikTok.

NPR financial correspondent Maria Aspan says that’s generating a lot of questions, and worries, about the future of the U.S. economy.

Trump is rewriting the rules of the economy…is it ‘crony capitalism’?

The World Health Organization is warning that the omicron variant of the coronavirus, which was first detected in South Africa, has a "very high" global risk because of the possibility that it spreads more easily and might resist vaccines and immunity in people who were infected with previous strains. 

On Monday, President Joe Biden said this this variant is a "cause for concern, not a cause for panic." He urged Americans to get fully vaccinated and get a booster dose if they qualify. 

WHO spokesperson Dr. Margaret Harris explains what more there is to learn about the severity and transmission of this new variant. 

And Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) discusses why vaccine hesitation on a global scale could make this next phase of the pandemic more dangerous.
