About this episode
Esty Dinur discusses lessons from Minneapolis anti-ICE organizers with Kip Hedges and Cal Robinette amidst ongoing ICE actions in the Twin Cities and Madison.
Though Operation Metro Surge has officially ended, the Trump administration continues to abduct people from the Twin Cities. Three people were also taken from Madison this week, and Salah Sarsour, the president of Wisconsin’s largest mosque, was detained on April 3 and remains in ICE detention. In response, host Esty Dinur is in conversation with two organizers with Workers’ Solidary Circle–Kip Hedges and Cal Robinette–about the lessons other communities can learn from ICE resistance in the Twin Cities.
