This was a massive blizzard for New England. Massachusetts Governor Healey put out a travel ban and Providence got 3 feet of snow.

Meanwhile, ICE tried (unsuccessfully) to fly a charter flight with deportees. They were stuck on the tarmac at a Portsmouth NH airport for 12 hours because… of course they were.

Life endangerment is so on brand for them.
