The Bitchuation Room Federalizing The Border's Militarism with Jenn Budd & Wajahat Ali
How is what we’re seeing in Minneapolis simply a replica of what’s been playing out on the US-Mexico border for decades? Murder, cover-ups, ramming vehicles and persecuting the vulnerable.
Former border patrol agent turned immigrant rights advocate Jenn Budd joined Francesca for an in-depth look at all of this, who is also featured in the new documentary Critical Incident on HBO Max.
Governor Walz has issued a statement, but is it enough? Wajahat Ali joins to talk about the pathetic halfway measures Democrats are floating, and what’s needed to get out of this mess.
Featuring:
Jenn Budd (03:07)
Wajahat Ali (1:14:29)
