Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. The Department of Justice has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Governor Tim Walls, the state's attorney general, Keith Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry. The Trump administration alleges the Democrats have been obstruct immigration enforcement surge in the state's two largest cities. Walls, Ellison and Fry have condemned the crackdown as dangerous, citing the fatal shooting of a 37 year old woman by an immigration officer. Today, President Trump defended how federal agents have been operating.

President Donald Trump
They're going to make mistakes. Sometimes ICE is going to be too rough with somebody or, you know, they're dealing with rough people. They're going to make a mistake. Sometimes it can happen. We feel terribly. I felt horribly when I was told that the young woman who was had the tragedy. It's a tragedy. It's a horrible thing. Everybody would say ICE would say the same thing.

Trump administration officials have previously described the woman, Renee Macklin Goode, as a domestic terrorist who attempted to ram federal agents with her car. President Trump's tariff threats over Greenland are straining relations with America's key NATO allies. French President Emmanuel Macron criticized Trump's approach, warning of potential retaliation. The European Union Union's top official says tariffs would be a mistake and are threatening their own economic sanctions. Trump argues the US Needs Greenland to counter threats from China and Russia. Legal observers have been waiting for a Supreme Court decision on President Trump's tariff powers. But as NPR's Nina Totenberg reports, it likely won't come until February.

Despite what most people think, nobody except Supreme Court personnel has any idea what cases are going to be announced on opinion days, and today was no exception to despite the drum roll of tariff predictions, the justices delivered three decisions in relatively obscure procedural cases and with only oral arguments scheduled for tomorrow. After that, the court is not expected back on the bench until February 23, as the coming month is the midterm break reserved for justices to work on writing opinions in outstanding cases.

Forecasters are warning that a new storm could bring ice and power outages across the south this weekend. The exact timing and path remain uncertain, but an arctic air mass from Canada is expected to clash with rain, creating a major winter storm. From Texas to North Carolina, temperatures will be slow to warm and merit many areas, meaning ice that forms on roads and sidewalks might stick around. Northern states will remain in a deep freeze due to polar air. The forecasted high for Minneapolis on Friday is minus 10 degrees. Stocks sank on wall today after President Trump threatened to hit European countries with new tariffs over his attempts to take over Greenland. The S&P 500 fell more than 2%. The Dow dropped more than 1.7%. The Nasdaq slid nearly 2.4%. It's NPR. Israeli forces have targeted two United nations facilities as part of their crackdown on the UN Agency for Palestinian refugees. Cruz bulldozed the United Nations Relief and Works Agency's offices and fired tear gas at a vocational school. Israel's Fore Ministry says the demolition enforced a new law banning unrwa, claiming the agency has ties with militant groups. The UN has denied those claims. Israel has long claimed the agency has an anti Israel bias, often with little evidence. A new study finds that Antarctic penguins are radically shifting the start of their breeding season. As temperatures warm, NPR's Nate Rot reports it could disrupt their ability to get food.

Over the course of 10 years, researchers used remote controlled cameras to see when penguins set up colonies to breed at more than three dozen dozen sites. They looked at three different species and found that all had moved up their breeding season by at least 10 days on average. Some population shifted their breeding seasons up by more than three weeks. The Antarctic is one of the fastest warming places on Earth as human emissions trap more heat in the atmosphere. And the study's authors warn that shifting breeding seasons could throw penguins out of sync with other parts of the environment, most concerningly, other species they depend on for food.
