5 things to know for Jan. 26: Minneapolis shooting, Winter storm, Government shutdown, Trump-NATO, Super Bowl

The American Academy of Pediatrics released its updated recommendations for childhood vaccines today. This year’s routine revision is significant because more states and doctors are relying on it instead of a controversial new schedule from the CDC.

Here’s what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day.

1⃣ Minneapolis shooting

The death of a second Minneapolis resident at the hands of federal immigration agents is deepening outrage over the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. Two federal court hearings are set to take place today, including one on whether to temporarily halt the crackdown in Minnesota. Federal officials have declined to provide critical details substantiating their claim that an agent shot ICU nurse Alex Pretti in self-defense. At least two agents involved appeared to have worn body cameras, suggesting there could be more footage that hasn’t been made public yet. CNN’s Stephen Collinson writes that the surge of federal forces to Minneapolis is testing long-held understandings of constitutional rights.

2⃣ Winter storm

The impact of this weekend’s winter storm will be felt for days, weeks and even months. Nearly 90 million people are under extreme cold watches or warnings, raising fears for those without shelter or power for days. The storm dumped snow and ice across a wide swath of the US, knocking out power and killing at least 11 people. More than 800,000 people are still without power. Sunday was the worst day for flight cancellations since the pandemic. Over 19,000 flights were canceled and schools in major cities have canceled classes or moved to remote learning today.

3⃣ Government shutdown

The chance of a partial federal government shutdown is growing as Senate Democrats fall in line behind a commitment to reject a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Hours after the latest deadly shooting by a federal officer in Minneapolis, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that Democrats won’t provide a key package the 60 votes it needs to advance if it includes the current DHS funding measure, which he called “woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement).” ICE is part of DHS. The deadline to fund the federal government is midnight on Friday.

4⃣ Trump-NATO

President Donald Trump praised British troops on Saturday after sustained outrage over comments he recently made downplaying the sacrifices of NATO forces in Afghanistan. “The GREAT and very BRAVE soldiers of the United Kingdom will always be with the United States of America!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. The NATO alliance has already been strained by the president’s threats to seize control of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, another NATO member.

5⃣ Super Bowl

Let’s party like it’s 2015: The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will meet up in the Super Bowl once again after winning their conference title games on Sunday. The Seahawks survived a last-gasp effort from the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC conference title game. And the

‘We’re not here to finish last’: F1’s newest team, Cadillac, looks to make its mark as sport enters new era

Silverstone, England (CNN) — A new era of Formula One is about to dawn.

Not only is the sport ushering in its biggest shakeup of rules and regulations in decades, but this season, it’s also welcoming a brand-new proverbial kid onto the block: Cadillac F1 Team.

Ten years since Haas entered the pit lane, the General Motors-backed outfit will become the second American-registered team and the sport’s 11th team to compete in what’s widely regarded as the pinnacle of motorsports around the world.

Cadillac may be a start-up, but it boasts two of the most experienced drivers around in Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas.

Reinvigorated by breaks away from the grid, the pair have points to prove and are under no illusions of the task that awaits.

“I’m really optimistic and, at the same time, I’m realistic,” Bottas tells CNN Sports ahead of the team’s shakedown at the iconic Silverstone circuit.

“It’s not going be an easy start when you start from nothing but where we’re going to end up, that’s what’s the motivation and that’s what’s going to be really rewarding if we get to our targets in the end.

“We’re not here to finish last, that’s for sure.”

‘It gave me a lot of perspective’

For Pérez and Bottas, the move to Cadillac represents a last dance of sorts with both having had a year away from the intensity of the sport.

For the Mexican, who lost his Red Bull seat at the end of the 2024 season following a disappointing campaign, it marked an opportunity for a period of personal and professional reflection.

“My last six months with Red Bull were very, very difficult,” he recounts.

“I was asking a lot of questions, and I thought at the time I was the problem. I tried everything to make it work and it didn’t.

“Once I left, I knew straight away it was the best thing that could happen. It gave me a lot of perspective. … The way I left (F1), I didn’t want it to be the end because the sport has given me everything.”

Bottas, meanwhile, remained closer to the action, serving as Mercedes’ reserve driver during the 2025 season after former team Sauber decided against renewing his deal at the end of 2024.

“It was a year that made me realize how much I miss racing,” the 36-year-old Finn explains. “That was kind of the confirmation for me that I still have that will to be in F1.

“I definitely have more respect for the sport, for the teams, every team member, how hard they work, which I think is only a positive thing for me.”

Unique project

Blended with that positivity is an unrivaled level of knowledge and leadership from which Cadillac will be able to draw upon.

With a combined total of 527 Grand Prix starts, 106 podiums, 16 Grand Prix wins and 23 pole positions between them, the pair’s excitement of being part of a newly formed setup with long-terms ambitions is palpable.

“I made up my mind early last year that this is the priority. I want to jump into this,” says the blonde-haired Bottas.

“You rarely as a driver get this kind of opportunity in your career to jump into something completely different. I think this team will also do certain things differently because of the American influence.

“We’re making history … and I think the support is going to be amazing from the US.”

For Pérez, the motivation lies not only in executing a successful, personal comeback but building the team into one that can represent the whole of the Americas.

“I’m obviously 100% Mexican, but driving for an American team, it’s also an honor and a privilege to represent the whole continent,” he says.

“I think it’s going to be the favorite team at

Grupos a favor de las armas y juristas critican la postura de la administración Trump sobre la Segunda Enmienda tras tiroteo

Las afirmaciones de funcionarios de la administración Trump de que el hombre muerto por un agente federal en Minneapolis no tenía derecho a poseer un arma de fuego y que su muerte estuvo justificada están siendo rechazadas por expertos legales y criticadas por grupos a favor de las armas que normalmente apoyan al presidente.

La retórica de los funcionarios de seguridad de Trump, incluido su director del FBI y el principal agente de la Patrulla Fronteriza, va en contra del esfuerzo republicano de décadas para frenar las regulaciones sobre el control de armas.

“Han defendido en los tribunales la oposición a leyes estatales que regulan las armas de fuego —acceso, uso, porte—, así que me sorprende verlos ahora usar el ejemplo de un propietario legal de armas como justificación para el uso de la fuerza”, dijo Megan Walsh, profesora de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Minnesota especializada en la Segunda Enmienda, sobre los comentarios de los funcionarios de Trump.

Un agente federal de inmigración disparó y mató a Alex Pretti, de 37 años, en Minneapolis el sábado, después de derribar al propietario legal de un arma mientras grababa a los agentes con su teléfono. Al menos un agente se escucha gritar “tiene un arma” mientras otro parece meter la mano en la cintura de Pretti. Un agente parece alejarse sosteniendo el arma de Pretti y, aproximadamente un segundo después, se escucha un disparo, seguido de al menos nueve más, según muestran videos revisados por CNN.

“Respetamos ese derecho de la Segunda Enmienda, pero esos derechos no cuentan cuando se participa en disturbios y se agrede, retrasa, obstruye e impide a los agentes del orden y, sobre todo, cuando se tiene la intención de hacerlo de antemano”, dijo el comandante general de la Patrulla Fronteriza, Gregory Bovino, a Dana Bash de CNN el domingo.

Bovino, quien ha estado liderando la operación de control migratorio de la administración en Minneapolis, no citó pruebas de que Pretti cometiera actos violentos o interfiriera con los agentes, ni de que la protesta fuera un “disturbio”.

Minnesota permite desde hace años el porte abierto y oculto de armas de fuego con una licencia emitida tras cumplir ciertos requisitos, y las regulaciones estatales no prohíben a estas personas portar armas en protestas. Las leyes estatales son tan permisivas que los propietarios de armas con licencia pueden incluso llevar armas al Capitolio estatal de Minnesota.

Sin embargo, el director del FBI, Kash Patel, uno de varios funcionarios que defendieron rápidamente el tiroteo, dijo en Fox News: “No se puede llevar un arma cargada con varios cargadores a cualquier tipo de protesta que uno quiera. Es así de simple”.

“Nadie que quiera ser pacífico se presenta a una protesta con un arma cargada con dos cargadores completos”, añadió.

Walsh dijo que no ve “ninguna zona gris en esta situación”.

“Él portaba un arma de fuego legalmente, y eso no es una licencia para matarlo”, dijo Walsh. “Tenemos una Constitución que otorga un derecho individual en la Segunda Enmienda, y es ilegal matar a un hombre por ejercer sus derechos constitucionales”.

Walsh señaló que la retórica de la administración Trump hacia Pretti no concuerda con su oposición a las regulaciones estatales sobre armas de fuego. La semana pasada, el Departamento de Justicia Read more
