What We Saw at the ICE Shooting in South MPLS
Late Wednesday morning, a federal immigration agent shot and killed a woman in the Central neighborhood of South Minneapolis. The scene afterward became a swarm of protestors and federal agents. Producer Adam Sage, just off the scene, walks host Sean McPherson and contributor Tane Danger through what witnesses saw and the community response. Plus, NA expert Kirstie Kimball gives advice on doing Dry January or observing sobriety year-round. She talks about the best local drinks, sober-approved restaurants, and why Minnesota is ahead of the NA wine game.
