47:29Now PlayingMichael & Maya will talk to Glenn Kirschner and Frank Figliuzzi.
ICE’s brutality is no longer confined to the shadows — it’s playing out on sidewalks, in courthouses, and in broad daylight. Masked agents shove journalists into stretchers, throw elders to the ground, and brutalize families in front of their children, all while facing no real consequences. This isn’t the work of a rogue few, it’s the design of an agency built to operate outside accountability, luring recruits with bonuses large enough to buy silence or reward cruelty.
What makes this moment even more dangerous is how quickly the public adapts. Repeated violence conditions us to accept the unacceptable, to scroll past videos of assault as if they’re just part of the feed. Communities that have long lived with over-policing recognize the pattern immediately, but now the same tactics are being exported nationwide, justified as “security.” What should be intolerable is instead becoming our new normal, sponsored by taxpayer dollars.
Peaceful defiance remains the only way to expose lawlessness without granting more excuses for repression. Legal battles may be imperfect, but they’re one of the few remaining tools for forcing transparency and accountability.
Protect and Serve is a reminder that the crisis isn’t abstract — it’s happening in real time, and whether people act or not will decide if authoritarian policing becomes America’s permanent reality. Tune in, now.
