Episode description

In this weekend's episode, three segments from this past week's Washington Journal.

Tensions continue to mount in Minnesota – and elsewhere across the country -- over the role and tactics of Immigration & Customs Enforcement agents.

We spoke with two guests about the protests – and threats of the President to invoke the Insurrection Act in response.

FIRST: Chad Wolf - former acting Homeland Security Secretary in the first Trump administration.

And Sarah Pierce – who served as a policy analyst for U-S Citizenship and Immigration Services under the Biden administration.

PLUS – a conversation with Behnam Ben Taleblu -- Iran Program Senior Director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies -- , about the brutal crackdown on protesters in Iran -- and potential U.S. military response.
