President Donald Trump has signed off on a massive increase in funding for U.S. immigration enforcement. The legislation, called the Secure America Act, was approved by Congress last week, after a standoff between lawmakers. Democrats said they didn't want to give more funding to the Department of Homeland Security after the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this winter. But those negotiations fell apart, and now $70 billion will go to ICE and Border Patrol. Supporters say the investment will help the federal government enforce immigration laws and secure the border. Critics argue it gives too much power to the agency and not enough oversight. Heidi Altman is vice president of policy at the National Immigration Law Center. She joined Minnesota Now to talk about the bill and her concerns about what was left out.

Inflation has risen to its highest level in three years as the war in Iran disrupts oil supplies and tariffs drive up prices across the board. Barron’s senior economics writer Megan Leonhardt explains what consumers are feeling right now. President Trump signed the Secure America Act, directing roughly $70 billion to ICE and Border Patrol through fiscal year 2029. The Washington Post’s Jarrell Dillard explains why funding ICE for that long was an unusual step. The largest World Cup in history kicks off today across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Rebecca Lowe, cohost of the Apple News podcast After the Whistle, joins to talk about what to expect and why this tournament could push soccer fully into the American mainstream. Plus, why lawmakers are delaying the renewal of FISA, a Somali referee was denied entry into the U.S. to referee at the World Cup, and how Pope Leo and Bad Bunny came together in Madrid. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

Frank Vallejo grew up in Texas dreaming of serving his country. After six years as a police officer across two cities he was recruited to join the Border Patrol — and spent the next 18 years on the front lines of one of America's most complex and controversial assignments. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Frank pulls back the curtain on what border patrol work really looks like — from the human smuggling operations he dismantled to the major drug busts that defined his career. He breaks down exactly how smugglers operated and how agents spotted them, shares the heartbreaking stories from the job that never leave you, explains why the border wall actually increased security, and reveals how the catch and release policies of the early 2000s allowed millions of people into the country unchecked. This is the conversation about the border that nobody in the media is having. _____________________________________________ #BorderPatrol #TrueCrime #bordersecurity _____________________________________________ Thank you to RAYCON for sponsoring this episode: Upgrade your dad's everyday routine.

Episode 5435: Act Blue Pleads The Fifth; Live From The Rio Grande With Border Patrol

Today's Headlines: Iran shot down a US Army helicopter yesterday, the US responded with strikes on Iranian air defense systems, both crew members are stable, and stock futures dropped immediately — so the ceasefire is going great. Meanwhile, the World Cup starts tomorrow and the Trump administration is already making it a disaster: the best male referee in Africa was denied entry despite a valid visa, the Iraqi team's vice captain was detained for seven hours at O'Hare, the team photographer was turned away entirely, and Trump is preemptively blaming Europe for any Ebola outbreaks despite zero confirmed cases there. Meanwhile, the House voted to give ICE and Border Patrol $70 billion more for immigration enforcement — $38 billion to ICE, $26 billion to Border Patrol, and a breezy $5 billion for "unforeseen costs." Anthropic's cofounder published a blog post asking leading AI labs to consider pausing frontier AI development, comparing it to nuclear nonproliferation — the response was a collective "no," with some calling it self-serving given everyone's upcoming IPOs — and this comes as Anthropic is reportedly preparing to release Claude Fable 5, a model it deemed too dangerous for public release just six months ago. Epstein assistant Lesley Groff testified before the House Oversight Committee claiming she "never saw anything improper" after two decades of keeping Epstein's entire schedule, which the committee found highly inconsistent. Tom Steyer conceded the California governor's race, Trump kept pushing election fraud conspiracies about California to the point that a congressman reported a friend canceling their voter registration over Spencer Pratt, and Ken Paxton's own former impeachment attorney endorsed Democrat James Talarico in the Texas Senate race, saying Paxton is too focused on appeasing Trump to be a good senator. And finally, NASA announced the Artemis III crew of four astronauts who will orbit Earth practicing lunar lander docking in preparation for a 2028 moon landing — assuming Blue Origin delivers its lander on time, which is uncertain after one of its rockets exploded during a test.

Description In this absolute barnburner of a segment, the host breaks down a massive legislative victory as Republicans outmaneuver Democrats to secure an additional $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol! Plus, Senator Susan Collins delivers a major win for election integrity by flipping her vote on the SAVE Act. The commentary then shifts to the fallout of the South Carolina gubernatorial primary, setting the stage for a high-stakes runoff between Pam Evette and Alan Wilson. Finally, the host delivers a blistering critique of the political left, pointing to a recent U.S. Senate election in Maine to argue that the progressive movement's increasing embrace of socialism and radical ideologies is exactly why controversial candidate Grand Platner surged to a staggering 73% of the vote!

In this blistering commentary segment, the host unloads on Donald Trump's involvement in South Carolina state politics, arguing his early endorsements have cleared the field for establishment liberals while cutting down true conservative fighters. Turning to foreign policy, the host reacts to Trump's recent social media warnings to Iran, blasting the administration for letting Tehran cross 38 separate red lines while putting U.S. troops in direct danger. Finally, the host highlights critical legislative standoffs, celebrating a $70 billion federal funding victory for ICE and Border Patrol. The host warns that federal election protection like the SAVE Act is urgently needed to stop radical, progressive election strategies from turning solid-red states purple!

Description In this absolute blockbuster segment, the host kicks off with a rapid-fire news breakdown, detailing breaking updates on Fox regarding Donald Trump's shifting stance on Iran's "Bridge and Power Plant Day" strikes. The conversation then pivots to massive legislative wins, highlighting the $70 billion secured for ICE and Border Patrol, alongside Senator Susan Collins' crucial vote to advance the SAVE Act. The episode reaches its peak with an exclusive, hard-hitting interview with South Carolina gubernatorial candidate and current Attorney General Alan Wilson! Fresh off advancing to the primary runoff against Pam Evette, Wilson hops on the phone to face the heat. He goes fully on the record, promising monthly studio accountability sessions, a war against legislative pushback on redistricting, the total elimination of the state income tax, and an aggressive, Florida-style plan to deputize state law enforcement to hunt down and deport illegal immigrants.

On today's news brief: President Donald Trump this morning signed the long-awaited funding bill for Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as Border Patrol, update on Iranian war and retaliations, the president announced today he would likely not renew the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is investigating the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and has interviewed high-profile leaders on both sides of the aisle, and Representative Chip Roy of Texas has introduced legislation to remove the Southern Poverty Law Center's tax-exempt status.

President Trump signs the Secure America Act, fully funding DHS through the end of his term with $38 billion for ICE and $26 billion for Border Patrol after more than 100 days of Democrat obstruction. He confirms bombing of Iran has resumed following the shooting down of a US helicopter and announces for the first time that the US military has been covertly extracting millions of barrels of Iranian oil nightly, which is why oil sits at $85 a barrel instead of the predicted $250. Trump also drops the 74th all-time stock market high, touts the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool opening, confirms Washington DC is at its lowest crime rate in 58 years, and signals he may not renew USMCA when it comes up July 2. The World Cup starts tomorrow, and someone should probably tell Iran.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. The AI jobs boom is coming. But there's a tale of two economies, where investors have enjoyed a phenomenal stock market run driven by AI, while everyday life feels strained by high gas and grocery prices. Despite concerns over AI job losses, Iran-related issues, and costs, there is strong economic momentum and Reaganomics-style trickle-down effects, with wealth from companies redeploying across the economy.  April saw 115,000 jobs added driven by actual American workers, with 3.6% wage growth exceeding inflation. Tech jobs cut by AI have been more than offset by gains in construction, utilities, and AI-supporting infrastructure, signaling booming AI-related job creation in the early months of this shift. Meanwhile, the current average gas price is around $4.24 per gallon; even if sustained all year on an inflation-adjusted basis, it would rank only as the 9th most expensive year in U.S. history, with four of the top five (including the top three) most expensive years occurring under the Obama administration. Also, President Trump sidelined Maduro in Venezuela—redirecting its vast oil reserves (previously 80% to China, though only 2% of China's supply) to the US via Chevron, boosting production 50%—and now targeting Iran (47% of China's oil), Trump has disrupted China's new Axis network of allies (including Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua). This strategically hampers China's military capabilities, preventing escalation to World War III.  Later, this version of the Democrat party is the most dangerous yet.  Sen Chuck Schumer opposed funding reconciliation for the Department of Homeland Security, including $140 billion for Border Patrol and ICE. Democrats' support for the BLM-led defund the police movement caused total crime rates to rise 30% and murders 44% in embracing communities, with devastating effects. Open border policies under President Biden allowed criminal illegal aliens to run rampant, committing a quarter of all U.S. crime. If you vote for Democrats, you are voting for more murders and crime to take place. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

For years, Americans were told the border crisis was a misunderstanding, a policy failure, or simply something that couldn't be stopped. JJ Carrell says that's a lie. After spending 24 years in the U.S. Border Patrol and later serving with ICE, JJ joins me to discuss what he witnessed firsthand, why he believes the border was intentionally opened, and what the long-term consequences could be for America.

After weeks of delays, the Senate passes legislation to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol and sends it to the House. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

The Senate passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement package on Friday after an overnight vote-a-rama on Capitol Hill. The Senate voted 52–47 to approve the legislation, with no support from ‌Democrats. The bill funds Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol through the remainder of President Donald Trump's second term, and now heads to the House. The legislation follows months of partisan clashes over immigration enforcement and Homeland Security funding.The United States imposed new sanctions on Cuban leader Miguel Diaz-Canel, his wife, and several other officials on Thursday. The move follows a broader sanctions push under Trump aimed at increasing pressure on the Cuban government over repression and national security concerns. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism for decades, accusing the regime of recruiting, training, and backing violent Marxist movements across the hemisphere and beyond.Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez called the sanctions "despicable" in a post on social media, describing them as the latest example of U.S. interventionism. "Every U.S. action aimed ​at creating a ​scenario of ⁠conflict between the two countries is doomed to failure," Rodriguez said.Trump has announced plans for what he calls "The Greatest Rally, Ever" in Washington, as part of celebrations marking America's 250th anniversary. The president says the event will feature patriotic music, military bands, and performances by Lee Greenwood and Christopher Macchio. The president is also promoting a series of restoration and construction projects across the capital, including repairs to fountains and the iconic Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

DESCRIPTION A fiery show today as Tara takes aim at both parties, blasting President Trump's handling of Iran while sounding the alarm over a controversial Democratic congressional nominee with a history that is generating national attention. From Middle East tensions to questions about extremism and border security, today's broadcast covered what Tara calls two of the most consequential stories in America. PODCAST SUMMARY Today's show opened with a passionate critique of President Trump's recent approach toward Iran following a series of attacks on U.S. interests in the Middle East. Tara argued that Iran has repeatedly tested American resolve through attacks on U.S. military installations and personnel, while receiving concessions instead of consequences. She compared the current strategy to policies she previously criticized under both President Biden and President Obama, insisting that the same standards should apply regardless of party affiliation. The discussion centered on reports that the administration is seeking a diplomatic agreement with Iran rather than expanding military operations. Tara questioned whether publicly signaling restraint could encourage additional attacks and argued that Iran's leadership continues to view concessions as signs of weakness. The show then shifted to a New Jersey Democratic primary race, focusing on candidate Adam Hominoye and his past associations with controversial figures and organizations during the 1990s. Tara argued that information about his background has received little national scrutiny and claimed that previous generations of candidates would have faced far greater political consequences for similar associations. The conversation expanded into broader concerns about immigration enforcement, Homeland Security, border policy, and what Tara described as a growing radicalization within portions of the Democratic Party. The central theme of the broadcast was accountability: whether political leaders should be judged consistently regardless of party and whether voters are receiving the full picture about candidates seeking public office. KEY STORIES Trump's Iran Policy Under Fire Tara criticized the administration's decision to pursue negotiations while Iran continues hostile actions against American interests. The Cost of Deterrence Questions remain about whether diplomatic restraint prevents a wider war or encourages further aggression. New Jersey Congressional Controversy A Democratic primary victory sparked debate over a candidate's past associations and whether the media is giving the story adequate attention. Border Security Debate Intensifies The discussion expanded into immigration enforcement, ICE, Border Patrol, and the future of Homeland Security policy. Political Double Standards Tara argued that politicians should be judged by the same standards regardless of party affiliation. QUOTE OF THE DAY "There's nothing I hate like a hypocrite, and I can't stand being one." TOPICS COVERED Trump and Iran negotiations U.S. military deterrence Middle East security Israel and Iran tensions Border security ICE and immigration enforcement Homeland Security Democratic primary politics National security concerns Election strategy and messaging SOCIAL MEDIA POST

We have so many topics to hit when it comes to the world of IndyCar. I give my final thoughts on the Indianapolis 500 being stuck at border patrol in Detroit and what to expect in free agency and the upcoming IndyCar race from St. Louis.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including growing outrage in Britain after police handcuffed dying stabbing victim Henry Nowak while initially believing murderer Vikram Digwa's claims of racism, fueling accusations that political correctness and identity politics are overriding basic law enforcement; President Trump naming veteran agent Rosario "Pete" Vasquez as the next chief of the U.S. Border Patrol as the administration ramps up immigration enforcement, cartel disruption, and border security operations; and Jill Biden going viral after accidentally saying "I'm not a doctor" on "The View" while admitting Joe Biden likely could not have completed a second presidential term, reigniting debate over the Biden White House, media coverage, and concerns about his health, and much more.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 28, 2026. We open with a constitutional showdown between the Department of Justice and four sanctuary states that are refusing to provide confidential license plates to federal immigration agents. The DOJ argues these states are deliberately obstructing federal law enforcement by denying undercover protections to ICE and Border Patrol agents while continuing to provide those same protections to state and local police. We examine where the line exists between non-cooperation and outright obstruction, why the fight is about much more than license plates, and how this battle could reshape the ongoing conflict between sanctuary jurisdictions and federal immigration enforcement. We also cover the swatting attack targeting Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the shocking arrest of a former CIA executive accused of stealing more than $40 million from taxpayers, and a new Department of Justice investigation into E. Jean Carroll over allegations she may have provided false testimony regarding the funding of her lawsuit against President Trump. Later, we discuss reports of a federal judge under investigation for misconduct inside her own chambers and ask what happens when the people entrusted with upholding the law become the source of the scandal themselves. American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us for one of the most fascinating conversations we've had in a while after a man awakens from a medically induced coma convinced he lived an entirely different seven-year life complete with a wife, children, and a successful business. We explore the mysteries of the human brain, vivid dreams, coma experiences, and why some people struggle to separate imagined lives from reality. In New York City, Mayor Zoran Mamdani is once again generating controversy after discussing plans that critics say amount to government seizure of private property from landlords deemed "bad" by city officials. We break down the constitutional questions surrounding property rights, eminent domain, and whether the proposal represents a dangerous expansion of government power. We then dig into an unexpected critique from the left. Salon magazine argues the Democratic Party's post-election autopsy is focused on messaging failures while ignoring a deeper problem: the policies themselves. We examine why even some progressive voices are beginning to question whether Democrats' platform is increasingly disconnected from the concerns of everyday Americans. Plus, encouraging economic data, growing business optimism despite global uncertainty, new protections for religious liberty inside the Department of Health and Human Services, controversy surrounding New York City's mayor skipping the Israel Day Parade, and a look at the new commemorative quarter honoring America's 250th anniversary.

Bob DeMarco welcomes Al Salvitti of Regiment Blades to Episode 673 of The Knife Junkie Podcast for one of the most grounded, experience-driven conversations the show has had in a long time. Salvitti brings 52 years of martial arts training, 15 years of real-world bouncing experience in Philadelphia and South Jersey, and a knife design built entirely around what actually works when fists are flying. This is not a conversation about what looks good in a video — it is a conversation about what kept a small guy standing in packed bars where fights broke out five times a night.Salvitti traces his path from taekwondo black belt to Philadelphia boxing gyms to Sayoc Kali under Tuhon Chris Sayoc, explaining how each layer of training changed his thinking about power, timing, and weapons. He developed a full-body power-striking system grounded in keeping both feet on the ground and using the skeletal frame instead of just the shoulder—a method that has been taught to Navy SEALs, Marine units at Camp Pendleton, and Border Patrol agents. He also shares what those experiences taught him about why complicated techniques fail under real stress and why simplicity wins every time. His LowViz punch blade at regimentblades.com came directly out of those lessons: a blade that deploys in the same motion as a punch, grips like a pistol, and rides flat on the belt in a sheath that Salvitti engineered himself, because every other option on the market failed to meet his standards.The big story of the episode is the connection between the Regiment Blade and bestselling thriller author Jack Carr. Salvitti sent Carr a custom LowViz and, months later, discovered that Carr had written the knife into his new novel, "The Fourth Option," with full credit to Salvitti by name. The main character carries the Regiment Blade. A chapter of the book covers a knife fight in the dark using the weapon. Carr described it in print as "designed to be an extension of your hand"—words that Salvitti said captured exactly what he built it to be. Salvitti and maker John Gray produced 175 custom Fourth Option editions with acid-etched finishes and pinned wood handles for the book launch, and a production version of the Fourth Option LowViz is currently in progress.The episode also covers Salvitti's approach to situational awareness and what he posts on the Regiment Blades Instagram: real street-violence footage, shared not for shock value but to show people what unscripted violence actually looks like. No flying kicks. No fancy blade work. Just speed, aggression, and whoever prepared better. His philosophy is direct: the wheel is always spinning, and training before it stops on you is the only option worth taking seriously.For full show notes, past episodes, and more from The Knife Junkie, visit theknifejunkie.com.

BrownTown continues the "Chinga La Migra" series discussing how ICE ain't shit with Rey Wences of Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) and Any Huamani of Brighton Park Neighborhood Council (BPNC). Fast-forwarding from the last conversation in summer 2025 focusing on the criminal-legal battles against ICE, the team reflects on the experiences, strategies, and lessons learned from resisting and building power during Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago in fall 2025. Now that the consistent bombardment of ICE violently kidnapping our neighbors is not as ever-present nor making national headlines, how do hyperlocal and regional resistance cadres of everyday people, community-based organizations, and larger policy networks channel energy and, in some cases, new found awakening into sustainable material change? How do we balance responding to the moment effectively while unapologetically exposing the conditions that got us here in the first place? Here's their take. Originally recorded April 17, 2026.   GUESTS Rey Wences is a longtime community organizer and advocate with over a decade of experience championing immigrant justice. Born in Mexico City and raised in Chicago, Rey co-founded the Immigrant Youth Justice League and later Organized Communities Against Deportations, leading impactful campaigns such as erasing the Chicago and Cook County gang databases. Their work spans grassroots organizing, direct action, and communications at the local and national levels. Before serving as Chicago's First Deputy of the Mayor's Office of Immigrant, Migrant and Refugee Rights, Rey was Director of Communications at Organizing Power in Numbers, a national economic justice organization. Rey currently works at Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR). Follow ICIRR on Facebook, Instagram, and X. Any Huamani is an organizer in the Southwest Side. Her and her family migrated to Chicago's North Wide from Peru when she was 5. Any grew up in the West Side of Chicago where she saw the disinvestment and an interest grew in her to find out why. Since then, Any volunteered in different non profits and became an organizer the Chicago Hotel Strike in 2018. She is now the Immigration Defense Coordinator at Brighton Park Neighborhood Council (BPNC). She also co-leads Treatment Not Trauma, a city wide mental health campaign calling for the reopening of public mental health centers and a citywide nonpolice crisis response. In her free time, she spends time with her two boys and running.

//The Wire//2300Z May 27, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: GANG WAR CONTINUES IN GRENOBLE. WAR IN LEBANON EXPANDS AS DRONE ATTACKS INTENSIFY. CONFLICT MOUNTS IN CONGO AS EBOLA CRISIS WORSENS. PROBABLE CHINESE AGENTS DETAINED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO INFILTRATE SOUTHERN US BORDER.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Israeli attacks in Lebanon have increased over the past few days, with more significant bombings taking place in Beirut. FPV drone attacks by Hezbollah have continued to devastate Israeli forces, as most of the IDF is not equipped or prepared to handle the threats that drones bring to modern warfare. As a result, the fighting has become much more intense, which in turn has increased the efforts to expand the Israeli bombing campaign.France: Last night a small arms attack was reported in Grenoble, as a war between rival gangs of migrants has broken out. One engagement was reported in the Mistral neighborhood overnight, with several people being gunned down on the street. One person was killed, and three others wounded during this attack, which locals sources claim was a targeted assassination. Three days ago, another assassination was reported, with a Cartel-style video being posted online before a body was found in a vehicle in the Échirolles community.-HomeFront-New Jersey: Protests at the Delaney Hall Detention Facility have continued, which have mostly transitioned into more of a long-term protest site once again. A few local politicians have made appearances over the past few days, but apart from occasional flare-ups and riots, the weekday attendance at this facility has remained fairly regular.Texas: Overnight a group of Chinese nationals were arrested after attempting to illegally cross the southern US border in the vicinity of Eagle Pass. US Border Patrol trackers located the group of individuals who had crossed the border illegally and were concealing themselves on a private ranch. Among this group were a total of 6x Chinese citizens, who federal authorities have classified as Special Interest Aliens (SIAs) for reasons that have not been disclosed. In the photos of the group provided by Customs and Border Patrol, one of the Chinese individuals has a military-style haircut, and another individual is wearing military-style combat boots. All are wearing civilian-style camouflage jackets and pants, all of the same type and construction.Analyst Comment: Most coyotes illegally smuggling people over the border have either required or furnished themselves camouflage "uniforms" for the illegals to don, in order to cross the border as covertly as possible. As a result, these individuals being detained while wearing camouflage is very normal these days. Illegal border crossings still take place along the vast wilderness areas which comprise most of the border, but it's become a lot harder to make the crossing and also much more expensive to do so. For Chinese immigrants, it's never been easier to get legal paperwork and enter the US at an official port of entry, so the fact that these individuals made the crossing illegally indicates that they were up to no good.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the Congo, the situation regarding the current Ebola outbreak has become increasingly more serious over the past few days, as the current civil war is impacting efforts to control the disease. Separately, social tensions flared up overnight, after a domestic situation spiraled out of control at a treatment center. Last night, police fired warning shots at the perimeter of Rwampara Hospital, as a crowd of people attempted to breach the facility to recover the bodies of relatives who had died from Ebola. Upon being told that they can't have the remains of their family members due to fears of the disease spreading, the crowd promptly set a tent on fire at the compound and a state of pandemonium erupted. During the fray, a handful of Ebola-positive patients fled from the facility and are currently unaccounted for.Around the continent, nations bordering the Congo have begun to close the border checkpoints to those fleeing both the simmering civil war, and also the spread of Ebola. Uganda closed their borders this morning, and several other nations have implemented travel controls to restrict travel out of the hardest-hit areas.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Latinos make up at least 50% of all Customs and Border Patrol agents and 20% of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents — which has a lot of critics asking, why? We talk to Geraldo Cadava, professor of Latino Studies at Northwestern and contributor to the Atlantic, to break down some of the reasons Latinos join ICE, and he tells us, there are many people who believe in the mission of immigration enforcement.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Today on The Gist, the profound failure of empathy within our immigration bureaucracy is put under the microscope following the tragic freezing death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a blind Rohingya refugee abandoned in a Buffalo parking lot by Border Patrol. Then, UC Berkeley law professor David Oppenheimer joins the show to discuss his book, The Diversity Principle: The Story of a Transformative Idea. He traces the intellectual history of multiculturalism back to 1810 Prussia, arguing that a clash of perspectives is essential for institutional excellence, leading into a spirited debate over the replication crisis in social science and the institutional flaws of the modern DEI apparatus.
