Sanctuary Policies, ICE, and the Truth Democrats Won’t Say

🧾 Episode Description

Tara walks listeners back to the beginning—cutting through the slogans, outrage, and misinformation—to explain why Minneapolis became ground zero for violent clashes involving ICE.

This episode breaks down what used to be normal law enforcement cooperation, how sanctuary policies changed everything, and why refusing to hand over violent offenders has pushed federal agents into dangerous street arrests.

From firsthand crime-reporting experience to federal officials laying out the data, Tara exposes how politics—not law—created the chaos now unfolding.
