Rep Ilhan Omar Attacked. Who Shot Alex Pretti?
On a freezing January day in New York City, host Paul Rieckhoff is back solo at the mic to get you ready for the next storm—literal and political. From ICE raids in Minneapolis, Phoenix, and Portland, to the assault on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and the still-unfolding fallout from the killing of VA nurse Alex Pretti, Paul connects the dots on America’s rapidly escalating crisis of political violence and unaccountable federal power. He breaks down the latest developments in the Minneapolis shooting, why the agents who killed Pretti still haven’t been publicly identified, and why he believes ICE has become a runaway, unconstitutional menace that must be defunded and disbanded.
