SpinCycleICE Raids, an NDIS System Failure & Why One Nation Is Gaining GroundThis week on Spin Cycle, we unpack three stories that sit right at the intersection of power, policy, and people being failed by the systems meant to protect them.
First, we break down what’s actually happening with ICE raids in the United States, why they’ve escalated so rapidly, and how the reality on the ground is diverging from the official government narrative. From collateral arrests to children being detained, this is no longer just an immigration story, it’s a civil liberties and public health crisis.
