Minnesota Defies Immigration Crackdown, Homan to Lead Operations. 

Amid national outrage over the recent killing of Alex Pretti, shot dead by federal agents, the Trump administration is reorganizing federal immigration leadership in Minnesota with the departure of Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino from the Minneapolis area and the dispatch of former acting ICE Director Tom Homan to take direct control of operations. Can a change in federal operations calm tensions and restore security? What is the community’s sentiment after the violence that unfolded?

Guests: Jose Lopez Zamorano, Correspondent, Washington, DC; Rep. Ro Khanna, D-California, Minneapolis, MN; Rev. Carlos Rincon, Pentecostal Pastor, Los Angeles, CA; Ruben Tapia, News Producer, Radio Bilingüe, Los Angeles, CA; Samuel Orozco, News Director, Radio Bilingüe, Fresno, CA.

Calls to End ICE’s Soaring Budget. As deaths involving immigration agents rise and Congress moves to increase funding for the agency’s already unprecedented budget, a group of lawmakers is pushing to halt the spending, close detention centers, and end violent raids.

Guest: Dayana Iza, Texas State Director, Mi Familia Vota, Houston, TX.
