After an ICE officer shot and killed another U.S. citizen in Minneapolis, CEOs of Minnesota-based companies have urged for calm as tensions rise. CNBC’s Eamon Javers reports on the federal, local, and corporate response to the fatal shootings, and CNBC’s Emily Wilkins reports on the Senate standstill over DHS funding that could lead to a partial government shutdown. Author and Tulane professor Walter Isaacson examines the shift in America’s international reputation amid anti-ICE protests around the country. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy points to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis local law enforcement as culpable in the shootings. Plus, as much of America digs out of a massive winter storm, Secretary Duffy expects travel to be back on track by midweek.
