On this episode of The Rick Smith Show, Rick checks in with Mother Jones freelance journalist Amanda Moore for an on-the-ground update from Minneapolis, where ICE operations are ramping up and Border Patrol’s presence is intensifying tensions in neighborhoods already on edge. Amanda explains how everyday encounters are escalating into chaos as residents and activists track federal agents through the streets. Later, Rick is joined by Gina Plata-Niño, SNAP Director at the Food Research and Action Center, to preview the January 15 “Stop the SNAP Shift” national day of action and why protecting food assistance is critical for working families and children.
