Reporters’ Roundtable: January 15th, 2026

ICE

We’re at The Reporters’ Roundtable, taking a look at some of the top stories of the week. As always, we’re in a fast-moving news cycle. On deck… another person shot and more violence connected to ICE agent activity in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Questions unanswered in after a DC councilmember asks for more information about how MPD is cooperating with ICE agents. Former DC Councilman Kenyan McDuffie announces his run for mayor. The FBI raids a Washington Posts reporters home. Smithsonian director Lonnie Bunch sends exhibits information to the trump administration, in what may be a procursor to more information removal. And a promising young Washington Informer photographer loses his life in a DC car accident.

Guests:

Micha Green, Managing Editor, The Washington Informer

Sam Ford, Former Washington Bureau Chief, WJLA-TV7
