Illinois state Rep. Hoan Huynh, D-Chicago, says a federal agent pointed a gun at him last week. The government says he was interfering in immigration enforcement; he says he was warning constituents about their rights. “We don't have any weapons; we were only recording what they're doing," Hyunh told The 21st Show. "And if what they're doing is actually legal, then they should not be afraid for it to be documented.”

Tara breaks down the latest tactics in the ongoing battle over U.S. immigration enforcement. She exposes how recently removed “ICE tracker” apps allowed mobs to monitor and dox federal agents in real time, enabling violent confrontations and intimidation. Tara highlights the Democrats' push to create a “Master ICE Tracker” via oversight committees, effectively continuing the doxxing and surveillance under the guise of transparency. She unpacks how liberal officials, radical activists, and court rulings are limiting federal ICE operations, giving local authorities power to arrest federal agents for enforcing immigration law. From threats on agents' lives to politically motivated legal overreach, Tara explains why these measures escalate into a guerrilla-style conflict against federal enforcement.
To understand what an escalation of federal agents means for San Francisco, and especially Latine immigrants in the Bay Area, we spoke with El Tecolote Investigative Reporter Yesica Prado.
Protests begin in the Bay Area as federal agents arrive at Coast Guard Island in Alameda. We'll open the lines and find out how communities are preparing.

Tara breaks down the latest revelations surrounding January 6, exposing how Speaker Nancy Pelosi took responsibility for not deploying the National Guard, while the Pentagon and top military officials allegedly ignored President Trump's requests. She explores reports of FBI operatives disguised as protesters, “black bloc” agitators, and Antifa-style actors infiltrating the crowd. Tara connects the dots on how federal agencies may have strategically prevented arrests of violent individuals, raising serious questions about accountability, transparency, and the orchestration of events at the Capitol.

On episode 33 of the Executive Perspective, Ron and Rob discuss the recent incident where Chicago Police Officers were ordered by their Chief of Patrol not to respond to calls for help by federal agents under siege by protestors. What were sanctuary cities established for and what have they “evolved” into? Could this happen in NYC? What should the NYPD do when responding to calls for assistance by federal agents?
Leaked dispatch audio from Chicago reveals something chilling: police were ordered not to assist federal agents who were cornered and calling for backup. The dispatcher hesitated — then relayed it.▶Sign up to our Free Newsletter, so you never miss out: https://bio.site/professornez▶Original, Made in the USA Neznation Patriot Merch: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/all
This weekend in Chicago, a deeply troubling revelation came to light: the city’s Chief of Patrol reportedly issued a stand-down order to CPD units who were in route to assist federal agents embroiled in an officer-involved shooting. Any officer who obeyed this unlawful order to stand down needs to resign immediately. According to internal dispatch recordings and reports, Border Patrol agents were boxed in and under threat amid anti-ICE protests. When they radioed for backup, police were directed to “clear out … per the Chief of Patrol,” effectively abandoning a federal counterpart in peril. Some CPD units initially moved to the location but were held several blocks away and later told to pull back entirely. In the face of this dereliction, the response from rank-and-file officers and law enforcement unions was fierce. The National Fraternal Order of Police called the move a “shocking violation of duty,” arguing that when any officer — local or federal — requests help, one’s first obligation is to intervene. Meanwhile, legal experts have raised the specter of official misconduct, reckless conduct, and even liability under civil rights statutes for depriving a law enforcement officer of protection. In short: by refusing to respond, CPD leadership may have signaled that political posturing takes precedence over the core mission of protecting the public — and even protecting fellow officers. That decision, whether justified by policy or ideology, paints a grim portrait: in Chicago, loyalty to radical left political currents seems to outweigh loyalty to law enforcement itself. Why the Democrats Might Fold on the Budget Shutdown Meanwhile, in Washington, Democrats are locked in a budget showdown, betting that Republicans will cave under pressure. But the same political forces at play in Chicago—posturing over principle, fear of appearing weak, internal party fractures—may work against them. Once real consequences hit — furloughed workers, delayed services, public backlash — Democrats will struggle to hold the line. Their leverage is limited: if the shutdown drags on, they’ll be forced to negotiate or be blamed for dysfunction. Eventually, at least some will crack, bend to pragmatic necessity, and agree to a compromise short of disaster.
