Episode Details

Protest and power collide in this episode of The New York Times Close Up, as Sarah Maslin Nir speaks with NYT Metro reporter Maia Coleman from the heart of Minnesota’s Operation Metro Surge, where ICE raids, the killing of Renée Good, church protests, and a looming general strike in subzero temperatures are testing how far both the Trump administration and local residents will go. Back in New York, Times Metro reporter Samantha Latson joins from the picket lines of the largest nurses’ strike in city history, where nearly 15,000 nurses are demanding safe staffing, higher pay, and real protection from rising workplace violence, even as hospitals insist care is continuing with costly travel nurses and new state safety mandates.
