Summary

The whole world is watching what is happening in Minnesota, the state at the center of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says local police won't enforce federal immigration policy. Some Republicans are now speaking out after the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti, with Senator Thom Tillis railing against both Homeland Security Chief Kristi Noem and top White House adviser Stephen Miller. Trump responded by calling Tillis a "loser" and a frequent target of Trump, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, was attacked last night in Minneapolis. A man ran at Omar spraying an unknown substance, before he was tackled and taken away. To discuss this all, reporter Kevin Liptak joins the show. Also on today's show: Brian A. Nichols, Former Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs; Milo Rau, Director and playwright, Hate Radio; Joseph Cox, Reporter and Co-Founder, 404 Media Learn more about your ad choices.
