Episode Details

Joe Pags cuts through the chaos around the Minneapolis immigration enforcement story with the facts you aren’t hearing elsewhere. Karoline Leavitt says federal investigators are pursuing the Alex Pretti shooting and that Homeland Security and the FBI are reviewing the case, while insisting that no one wants to see civilians die and calling for cooperation between federal and local law enforcement. At the same time, reports say Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino and some agents are being pulled out of Minneapolis, signaling a shift in the federal approach amid mounting backlash over aggressive enforcement and conflicting on-the-ground accounts.

Then Pags brings on Mehek Cooke, an immigration attorney with deep expertise in deportation law and federal authority. She breaks down the due process rights for illegal aliens, what the Insurrection Act actually says, whether events in Minneapolis could meet the legal threshold for invoking it, and why it hasn’t been used yet. Cooke gives listeners a legal roadmap through the controversy you haven’t heard before — clarifying the law vs. the headlines in one electrifying conversation.
