President Donald Trump indicated he’ll make changes to his administration’s deportation crackdown in Minnesota after the killing of two US citizens during immigration raids sparked nationwide uproar.

The president said he was sending US border czar Tom Homan — who is seen as relatively measured compared to rivals, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — to Minneapolis in a bid to deescalate tensions.

Trump also spoke with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, telling the Democrat who he has derided as “grossly incompetent” that he would consider independent investigations into the shootings and reducing the number of federal agents in his state.

Later, the White House suggested it could remove US Customs and Border Protection personnel from Minnesota if state and local law enforcement adopted additional “cooperative measures” to assist in the apprehension of undocumented migrants.

Taken together, the comments indicated that Trump might recognize that his maximum pressure deportation campaign has eroded public faith in immigration officials as well as his own political standing. That poses a risk for Republicans heading into November’s midterm elections.
The federal government is at risk of a partial government shutdown at the end of the week after Senate Democrats said they could not back a funding bill without new curbs on immigration enforcement.

When French President Emmanuel Macron walked out onto a Davos stage sporting a pair of reflective blue aviator sunglasses, Stefano Fulchir, the CEO of iVision Tech SpA, did a double take. Almost immediately, orders starting pouring in for Macron’s frames, the brand’s Doublé or Laminé aviators that retail for €659. The attention on the sunglasses garnered almost as much commentary as Macron’s speech in which he blasted US trade policy.
The French president wore the sunglasses after having what he termed a benign but unsightly issue, about which he joked last week in France. A spokesman for Macron confirmed the glasses were part of Henry Jullien’s brand.
Stefano discusses the sudden sales boom for the high-end eyewear, and the family-owned company's growth plans. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.

Snow and dangerously bitter cold have begun to spread from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes as a massive storm pushes toward the US Northeast, disrupting travel and threatening power outages for much of the nation.
The storm is expected to span nearly 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers), bringing heavy snow, crippling ice and subzero wind chill to some of the biggest US cities. Natural gas prices surged on concern iced-over equipment will choke supplies. Airlines have already canceled more than 3,000 flights and Amtrak has pulled dozens of trips from its schedule.
Chicago schools were closed Friday as the third-largest US district braced for wind chills of -30F (-34), while ski resorts in Michigan took the unusual step of shutting slopes because of the extreme cold.
“This is a gigantic storm,” former Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Deanne Criswell said during a Bloomberg Television interview. “Close to 200 million people” are in the path of the weather system.
Through Monday morning, Nashville and Charlotte could see more than a half-inch (1.3 centimeters) of freezing rain. That’s enough to snap tree branches and power lines, potentially triggering widespread power outages. The punch of polar air sent power prices soaring. Prices for electricity and natural gas — the No. 1 power-plant fuel, as well being widely used for home heating — jumped ahead of the storm and remain elevated.

Bloomberg News Energy Reporter Josh Saul on the significant storm spreading from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes and toward the US Northeast, disrupting travel and threatening power outages
