🎧 Some officials say they've had productive talks with Homan, but several county sheriffs tell Minnesota Public Radio's Estelle Timar-Wilcox that they haven't changed any enforcement policies. On Up First, Timar-Wilcox says the immigration operation in the state has caused a lot of fear among residents, especially immigrants. Advocates tell her that trauma won't just go away. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says he will ask the federal government and state legislature for emergency funding for "a long recovery ahead." 

🎧 On Morning Edition, Sen. Amy Klobuchar speaks to host Steve Inskeep about the lasting effects of the immigration crackdown on her state. 

➡️ A Minneapolis doctor tells NPR he's never seen anything like the immigration crackdown in the more than two decades he's worked in the city. Health care professionals warn that there may be lasting medical impacts on the city's residents.

➡️ Last year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted 37 investigations into officers' use of force. Of those, 18 are closed, and 19 are still pending further investigation, acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told lawmakers at a Senate committee hearing yesterday. Lyons did not say whether any of the investigations resulted in terminations. His comments only concerned ICE; it's not clear how many Customs and Border Protection officers are under review. Lawmakers did not ask CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott about his agency's investigations. 

➡️ The bipartisan effort to address immigration enforcement tactics is not the first time recently that lawmakers have pledged to find consensus, only for negotiations to fall apart. Enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies expired at the end of last year, despite the majority of Americans supporting their renewal. Heidi Heitkamp, a Democrat who represented North Dakota in the Senate from 2013 through 2018, says lawmakers today see little incentive to compromise. She adds that when Congress promises to act and does not, it erodes public trust.

➡️ U.S. skier Breezy Johnson experienced two of the best moments of her life this week: winning a gold medal and getting engaged. 

➡️ Ukrainians rallied in support of their skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych. He was disqualified from the Games after he refused to replace his helmet, which features images of Ukrainian athletes killed during Russia's full-scale invasion of his country. 

➡️ American Chloe Kim's quest to become the first halfpipe snowboarder to win three consecutive gold medals was foiled by none other than her teenage protégé. The 17-year-old Gaon Choi of South Korea came back from a dramatic fall to overtake Kim in the final run.

➡️ Athletes say this year's Olympic medals should be treated with care. Several have reported their medals detaching from their ribbons and, in one case, even breaking in half.
