Episode Details

Rob Fuentes, Fresno City Council candidate and federal prosecutor, is navigating a firestorm over his dual roles: publicly calling for ICE abolition while representing the agency in detention cases. He insists his courtroom work—though small in scope—is part of a broader mission to uphold civil rights and practice harm reduction from within the system. Joining the U.S. Attorney’s Office in 2023, Fuentes prioritizes white-collar fraud and pro bono work for unaccompanied minors, rooted in his farmworker heritage. Despite waves of prosecutors leaving amid Trump-era immigration policies, Fuentes stayed, believing he can drive change from inside. Now second in the District 1 primary, his campaign faces scrutiny over whether his legal actions align with his abolitionist platform—but he stands firm, claiming transparency and constitutional integrity in every case.
