Is Texas Ready for Monster Winter Storm?; ICE Child Detentions New Sticking Point in Minnesota

from Here's the Scoop · host maggie vespa, kathryn prociv, laura jarrett, ryan chandler

Hazardous ice, heavy snow and brutal temperatures are expected across half of the United States in this weekend’s potentially historic winter storm. Over a dozen states have declared emergencies, but one of the biggest concerns is Texas, which suffered a devastating and deadly power grid failure five years ago. NBC News Correspondent Ryan Chandler talks to guest host Laura Jarrett about the improvements the state has made and how residents can stay safe. Plus, protests and anger over Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations have flared again in Minneapolis, after a 5-year-old boy was detained in his driveway, according to a local school superintendent. NBC News Correspondent Maggie Vespa joins us from Minneapolis, where she pressed federal officials about the child’s detainment and explains why locals are worried about long-term operations.
