Memorandum Of Misunderstanding, Fatal ICE Shooting, Paramount Merger Suit
About this episode
The episode discusses the resumption of hostilities between the US and Iran, a fatal ICE shooting incident, and a lawsuit against Paramount's merger with Warner Bros. Discovery.
The US and Iran have resumed hostilities, despite last month's memorandum of understanding. President Trump says the military will once again blockade the Strait of Hormuz. For the second time in a week, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed an immigrant. A 26-year-old Colombian man was killed yesterday in Maine. Some Maine elected officials say the victim wasn't the target of an ICE warrant. And a dozen states, led by California, are suing to block Paramount from buying Warner Bros. Discovery after the Justice Department cleared the deal. Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.
