Winter Snow Emergencies and a Homeland Security Fraud Crackdown in Minnesota
Description
Monday, December 29th — A winter snowstorm causes widespread impacts across the metro, with snow emergencies declared in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and several surrounding cities. We break down what you need to know about parking rules, road conditions, and improving, but still disrupted, air travel at MSP Airport as crews continue cleanup efforts.
Plus, a major development in Minnesota’s ongoing fraud investigations. Federal authorities, including ICE and the FBI, are expected to inspect dozens of suspected fraud sites in Minneapolis as part of what officials are calling a sweeping crackdown tied to large-scale schemes exploiting federal programs, including the Feeding Our Future case.
We also cover the deadly shooting of a teenager in Minneapolis and flags lowered statewide to honor a fallen firefighter. Plus, a critical house fire, a stabbing investigation on the North Shore, a massive product recall tied to contamination concerns, and a possible educators strike in Anoka-Hennepin.
In sports, the Wild continue to benefit from Quinn Hughes’ impact, Team USA skates on at the World Juniors, Justin Jefferson makes NFL history, and the Timberwolves hit the road. And in today’s bright spot, goats in Elk River are happily munching donated Christmas trees to get through the winter.
