@cbsnews: Team USA curler Rich Ruohonen tells CBS News he's proud to represent the U.S. in the Winter Olympics in Italy, even though "it's been tough" in his home state of Minnesota and "rights aren't being followed" there. "We want to focus on the Games, but at the same time, what's going on there is wrong," Ruohonen told CBS News, when asked about recent news coming out of Minnesota. In recent weeks, federal immigration agents have killed two people in high-profile shootings in Minneapolis in the course of their operations there. Despite the turbulence at home, Ruohonen told CBS News the Olympics showcases some of the best of what it means to be a Minnesotan and an American. #minnesota
