We examine the intensifying battle over federal repression and the right to protest ICE. In the wake of massive demonstrations against ICE’s “Operation Metro Surge,” Dec 2025-Feb. 2026 in Minnesota, the Department of Justice leveled severe conspiracy charges against community defenders now known as the Minnesota 15. We are joined by a diverse panel of union organizers, state workers, and educators—including filmmaker Kip Hedges and two of the MN15 defendants—to discuss this politically motivated crackdown, the nationwide solidarity campaign pushing back, and why labor and community leaders are drawing a hard line to defend these activists.
