About this episode
This episode discusses the tensions in Minneapolis regarding federal immigration enforcement and local resistance efforts.
Between the onslaught of federal immigration enforcement, and organized resistance to it, Minneapolis is being pushed to the brink. What made Minneapolis more of a crucible than other cities? Do anti-ICE protestors have a right to carry arms into the turmoil? Does the State of Minnesota have a right to resist federal agents? Can the powder keg be defused? We tackle these questions and more on this episode of Independent Conversations.
