Season 2026 Episode 21 | 57m 46s

Friday on the News Hour, a monster winter storm is expected to bring frigid temperatures, heavy snow and dangerous ice to more than 200 million across the country. As images of a 5-year-old boy being detained by ICE in Minnesota trigger outrage, we speak to his school's superintendent. Plus, TikTok's parent company finalizes a deal to avoid a ban that would affect millions of users in the U.S.
