| 0:00.0 | This government, this Trump administration, has decided that it's going to have ICE enforcement happen anywhere. |
| 0:08.0 | That includes hospitals. |
| 0:10.0 | That includes schools. |
| 0:11.7 | That includes churches and other places of worship. |
| 0:15.0 | These are areas that have historically been kind of off limits for ICE enforcement. |
| 0:19.5 | You know, people should be able, kids should be |
| 0:21.7 | able to go to school without being terrorized. By their own government? Yeah. |
| 0:39.4 | Well, it's been the Politics Girl podcast. I'm your host Lee McGowan. Let's get into it. |
| 0:44.1 | Well, it's been a perfectly awful week if you believe in democracy, the rule of law, |

| 1:21.6 | accounts keep coming into question. So it's starting to feel to me like there's something bigger |
| 1:26.2 | going on, that the government is trying to convince us that the truth doesn't matter, that they can call any one of us domestic terrorists and justify our killing, that we shouldn't be protesting, that we shouldn't be getting in their way, that we shouldn't even be filming, that even when we do and our recordings prove they are lying, it won't matter. |
| 1:45.7 | Comply or die. |
| 1:50.5 | And I think that is unacceptable to most of us who have been raised to use our First Amendment right to protest and speak up. |
| 1:53.3 | So to talk to us about what our rights are when we do protest because we absolutely should |
