In this exclusive update from OXY NEWS CHANNEL, we detail the January 24, 2026, emergency in Mississippi. We analyze the NWS Jackson "Extreme" risk zone and the 20% chance of 1-inch ice accumulation in the upper Delta. We cover the mobilization of generators, water, and warming shelters by Governor Tate Reeves and the suspension of non-payment utility disconnections through Jan 26. We also report on the closure of I-55 rest areas in DeSoto and Panola counties and the "galloping" power line phenomenon currently threatening the regional grid.

In this critical update from OXY NEWS CHANNEL, we break down the January 24, 2026, warnings regarding "catastrophic" ice accumulation. We examine why meteorologists prioritize the freezing rain corridor over the 30-inch snow zones, citing the "ice-loading" physics that leads to widespread, long-duration power outages. We cover the specific threat to Texas, Alabama, and the Carolinas, where localized totals of 2 inches of ice are possible—far exceeding the threshold for total distribution failure. We also analyze the "Weather Whiplash" effect: the extreme cold front trailing the ice that risks "freeze-offs" in natural gas production.

In this breaking update from OXY NEWS CHANNEL, we analyze the January 23–24, 2026, statements from DHS and ICE regarding the detention of 5-year-old Liam Ramos. We examine the specific allegation from ICE official Marcos Charles that the mother "refused to take him in" despite officers' multiple attempts to leave him at the residence. We contrast this with the testimony of Columbia Heights City Council Member Rachel James and Superintendent Zena Stenvik, who maintain that multiple adults on the sidewalk offered to care for the boy but were ignored by "masked and armed" agents. We also report on the current status of the family: despite having an active asylum case and no deportation orders, both father and son remain in the Dilley, Texas, detention facility.
