Episode notes
The Human Cost of ICE Raids
- ICE raids are perceived as barbaric and inhumane when they indiscriminately target long-term residents, including children.

- Many so-called jobs Americans "won't do" are jobs Americans once did and could do if paid fairly.
- Immigration policy often benefits billionaires exploiting low-wage labor rather than American workers.

- Israel's recent airstrikes on Iran indicate a regime-change war, not just surgical strikes on nuclear sites.
- There is speculation that the U.S. may become involved despite being an anti-war administration.
