Several Chicago newsrooms have been quietly collaborating to bring big ICE stories to the forefront. In this story today, we found that feds used chemical weapons on Chicagoans at least 49 times during immigration raids — even after a judge said to stop.

Winter fans, rejoice — finally seeing plowable snow in the Twin Cities. A few weather features from my bike ride around town this morning for @mprnews.org: #mnwx
A person pilots a snow plow on a sidewalk in front of a 33-foot tall silver loon statue. A brown tabby cat sits on a front porch, snow falls in front of them. Above, a Minnesota state flag hangs from the awning. Two orange snow plows drive down I-94, a wake of snow flowing off their curved plows. Kids run through thick falling snow to catch a school bus, its lights flashing red.
