"The Border Is the Entire Country": How Trump Brought Borderland Violence into U.S. Cities

As President Trump shakes up the leadership of his immigration crackdown in Minnesota following the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents, we examine the expanding role of the agency in interior enforcement. Independent journalist Todd Miller says the Trump administration’s immigration operations in U.S. cities are an “extension” of “policies and practices that we’ve been seeing in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands now for decades,” characterizing Border Patrol culture as one of rampant abuse and impunity. We also speak with Jenn Budd, a former Border Patrol agent who quit in 2001 and is now an immigrant rights activist. She disputes the claim that recent violence by CBP staff is a result of insufficient training. “The management of the Border Patrol has been corrupt for many generations, and then after 9/11 we just gave them money with little accountability and let them design their own accountability systems,” says Budd.

Omar has long been a favorite target of President Donald Trump and his supporters, and the attack on her comes just days after Florida Congressmember Maxwell Frost was punched by a Trump supporter while attending the Sundance Film Festival. “It’s truly heartbreaking, this moment we find ourselves in,” Omar said when she resumed her remarks, discussing the Trump administration’s violent immigration crackdown. “But if we know anything about U.S. history, it’s that everything is temporary, and we will find our way out of this.”

ICE "Wartime" Recruiting Effort Targets Gun & Military Lovers Using White Nationalist Messaging

As outrage grows across the country over the Trump administration’s deadly immigration crackdown in Minnesota, we speak with reporter Drew Harwell, who recently reported on the government’s effort to hire thousands more ICE agents. According to an internal strategy document uncovered by The Washington Post, the federal government plans to spend $100 million over a one-year period in a “wartime recruitment” push, including online targeting of UFC fans, gun-rights supporters, military enthusiasts and more. Meanwhile, the administration’s online messaging has repeatedly echoed white nationalist slogans. “They’re spending a lot of money on it, so you’re just seeing it everywhere on social media now. And the question is: Who are they trying to attract?” says Harwell.
