Summary

It's an Emmajority Reprot Thursday on the Majority Report

On today's program:

Tom Homan has been dispatched to Minnesota to announce a scale back of ICE operations within the state in what seems to be an admission of misconduct on behalf of the border patrol.

On Democracy Now, Alec Karakatsanis explains how body cams are essentially useless in curbing police violence. This is important as it is one of the "demands" being made by the democrats who are not in favor of total abolishment of ICE.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and the FBI raid the Fulton County election office in Georgia over voter information regarding the 2020 election. This raid comes only a couple of weeks before early voting begins in Georgia.

Law professor at Ohio State University, Cesar Cuauhtemoc Garcia Hernandez joins Emma to discuss his Book Welcome the Wretched: In Defense of the Criminal Alien.

In the Fun Half:

Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder join the show.

@AlwaysMarco on Instagram has a perfect Patrick Bet-David impression

One of the seven Democrats who voted in support of the DHS funding bill, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) posts a confused rant about the importance of strategy in this moment.

At a post-game conference Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr speaks out about the lie that ICE is after the worst of the worst, highlighting the recent kidnapping of a five-year-old boy.

Palestinian Bisan Owda who built a TikTok following of 1.4 million while documenting the genocide in Gaza has had her account deleted for "antisemitism".

Nicki Minaj and Trump are best friends now.

Andrew Schulz, who endorsed Trump, comes out against the administration's deportation tactics.
