12:10Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck(@kabateckllp) and Shant Karnikian (@shant_k) expose a leaked Department of Defense memo revealing Trump's plan to militarize immigration enforcement by partnering DOD with DHS in "lockstep" operations. They break down how Pete Hegseth's unqualified brother Philip—with zero military experience—is serving as the DHS-DOD liaison, coordinating military assets for domestic immigration raids that violate the Posse Comitatus Act. The hosts reveal how the memo acknowledges the Los Angeles operations "haven't been perfect" while calling for expanded military involvement, falsely equating undocumented farmworkers with Al-Qaeda terrorist cells to justify using tanks and troops in American neighborhoods. They explain why this represents a dangerous escalation from protecting federal buildings to actively enforcing immigration policy with military force, creating the foundation for a domestic police state that would make "America safe again" through military occupation of civilian communities.
