Summary
The biggest test of the second Trump Administration isn't Iran, and it isn't Venezuela. It's the city of Minneapolis, where Tim Walz and Keith Ellison are betting that rioters in the streets can force the Administration to back off of its deportation agenda. The team explains how this battle is a true "must-win" for President Trump, then talks to Frontlines reporter Vicky Richter about her new documentary on the threat of Islamization to the West.
