Description

The standoff between ICE and protesters in Minneapolis didn’t just escalate. It drew blood. A U.S. citizen is dead, shot by federal agents in the middle of an immigration crackdown that has reached the boiling point in the dead of winter.

Recorded before the second killing on Jan. 24, the gang digs into what happens when an agency built for enforcement starts acting like it’s above the public, above the courts, above accountability, and what that kind of power does to a democracy.
