Tuesday, January 13th — A major shakeup in Minnesota’s federal justice system as U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson resigns after leading high-profile fraud investigations, with new reporting revealing multiple prosecutors are also leaving the Justice Department amid controversy over a halted civil rights probe. We're continuing to investigate this. We break down what Thompson’s departure means and why state leaders are calling it a major loss.

Meanwhile, the Trump Administration moves to dramatically expand its federal presence in Minnesota, sending roughly 1,000 additional immigration officers as fallout continues from a deadly ICE-involved shooting. We examine the growing backlash, including a new lawsuit from state and city leaders seeking to halt ICE activity, and plans for a statewide day of action.

Plus, DHS ends Temporary Protected Status for Somali nationals, raising fears of family separation across Minnesota.

Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is arrested in Florida, marking his third offseason legal issue in four years. We hear from head coach Kevin O'Connell.
