America’s ICE Crackdown: Raids, Killings and Public Outcry

About this episode

The episode discusses recent US ICE and Border Patrol actions, community responses, and the impact of social media on activism within the context of global political dynamics.

Host Majid and guest Muttaqi Ismail discuss recent US enforcement actions—ICE and Border Patrol raids, the killing in Minneapolis, and community reactions—placing these events in the context of immigrant communities, politics, and public protest. They also cover how social media, particularly TikTok, and shifting narratives are changing grassroots activism. The conversation broadens to the global picture: growing skepticism about a rules-based international order, interventions from the US in places like Venezuela and Greenland, unrest in Iran, and how these developments may shape future elections and power dynamics.
