Episode notes
Trump's Reframe, Not A Retreat
- Donald Trump reframed ICE enforcement to narrow targets and shift responsibility to states, not to surrender.
- That move preserves legal authority while forcing governors to choose publicly between cooperating or protecting criminals.
Radical Framing Behind Minnesota Protests
- MIRAC and allied groups frame immigration enforcement as occupation and call for abolition of borders and the U.S. as currently constituted.
- Their radical rhetoric aligns with foreign adversaries and normalizes violence as political resistance.

- She highlighted lack of processing and traceability on platforms like Chuffed enabling external influence.
