Episode notes
Administration Claims Versus Public Reality
- Donald Trump publicly claims a “silent majority” supports ICE raids despite mounting opposition.
- That claim shows the administration is relying on internal praise rather than broad public support.

- That creates a carceral juggernaut that becomes harder to control once resourced and deployed.

- She cites specific fights in Roxbury, New Jersey and Hanover, Virginia where conservatives opposed local facilities.
