Minnesota says thousands of federal agents have acted so aggressively that it's infringed on the state's sovereign right to ensure public safety. And it argued the surge was politically driven. The Trump administration insisted it's conducting legitimate immigration enforcement. The judge noted the situation is so unprecedented, there's little case law to guide a decision. Meanwhile, Trump is telling his border czar, Tom Homan, to work with Minnesota officials and report directly to him. The state's governor, Tim Walz, says the previous official in charge, Border Patrol Chief Gregory Buffett, is leaving the state. The change follows growing backlash after Homeland Security insisted Saturday's fatal shooting was in self defense, despite video evidence that contradicted that. Jennifer Lutton, NPR News, Minneapolis.

Henry Hub, the benchmark price for natural gas was at less than $3 per million BTU just a week ago. Today, it's well over $6, and regional prices have spiked much more than that in the areas most affected by the storm. The storm temporarily knocked out close to 20 billion cubic feet of natural gas production per day, according to an analysis from Rystad Energy, although the group expects production to recover quickly. Meanwhile, cold weather increases demand for natural gas for heating. Prices for heating oil and diesel are up, if more modestly. Gasoline has notched up 6 cents from a week ago.

Eyewitnesses told local news that four or five men arrived on three trucks and they opened fire as a soccer match came to an end in the town of Loma del Flores in central Mexico. The state of Guanajuato, where the shooting happened, has seen a spike in violence in recent years as organized crime groups fight for territory. Local news outlets reported the shooting might have been provoked because the owners of the soccer field declined to pay a tax attacks to local organized crime groups. Government statistics show that Mexico saw a 40% decrease in murders last year. But some parts of the country, like Guanajuato, are experiencing the opposite. The number of Mexicans reported as disappeared has also increased. Edgar Peralta, NPR News, Mexico City.
