Minnesota and Illinois are both suing the Trump administration over ongoing immigration enforcement leaders say is unconstitutional and terrorizing communities. The separate lawsuits filed Monday come after the administration surged enforcement activity in Chicago and Minneapolis, the latter where an ICE agent fatally shot a woman last week.        President Trump will be in Detroit today to show how he's "making America affordable again." He'll be visiting a Ford factory and will also deliver an address at the Detroit Economic Club where he'll talk about his economic successes, including falling gas prices.        The U.S. is telling Americans to immediately leave Iran as major anti-regime protests rage on. The State Department bulletin is asking its U.S. citizens to leave Iran, prepare for communication blackouts, avoid demonstrations, stock up on essential equipment, and consider leaving by land via Armenia or Turkey. President Trump is reportedly reviewing military options if the regime kills more protesters.        A mid-week storm may bring snow to the Eastern part of the U.S. The Tennessee River Valley, the Carolinas, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast could all see various snowfall totals by the middle of the week. Snow is much more likely to fall in the Tennessee River Valley and southern Appalachians.        Paramount Skydance is taking Warner Bros. Discovery to court. The studio filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to force Warner Bros. to disclose the financial details of its deal with Netflix. Paramount has made multiple bids for the entirety of Warner Bros. Discovery. The latest 30-dollars-per-share all-cash offer from Paramount was rejected by W-B-D's board.        The Texans beat down the Steelers 30-6 on Monday Night Football from Pittsburgh and advanced to the Divisional round of the playoffs for the third-straight season. Houston will stay on the road next week against New England.
