Summary
Financial Times U.S. national editor and columnist Ed Luce joins Preet Bharara to discuss the aftermath of the deadly shooting of Alex Pretti by border patrol agents and why this might be an inflection point for Trump. Preet and Ed also make sense of the cowardice on the part of leaders and institutions in standing up to Trump and what it will take for them to speak out publicly against the president.
Then, Preet answers your questions about a leaked ICE memo claiming agents can enter a target’s home without a warrant and whether a Canadian could become president if Canada became the 51st state.
In the bonus for Insiders, Ed and Preet discuss why we might be living in, what Ed calls, the mother of all teachable moments. Join the CAFE Insider community to stay informed without hysteria, fear-mongering, or rage-baiting. Head to cafe.com/insider to sign up. Thank you for supporting our work.
