22:33Now PlayingIf the people tasked with oversight of federal agents won’t hold anyone accountable, what recourse is left after an innocent person is killed in plain sight and then the government lies about what happened?
After two U.S. citizens were killed by federal immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis this month, including Alex Pretti, who was shot by Border Patrol agents – Preet Bharara is joined by his Insider podcast co-host Joyce Vance and New York Congressman Dan Goldman for this live conversation on Substack. They reflect on what accountability looks like when the very institutions designed to enforce it appear unwilling (or unable) to do their jobs. What will Congress do?
Preet, Joyce, and Dan discuss the immediate aftermath of the shooting – the Trump administration's shifting narrative, its disregard for facts and the law, and the larger pattern this moment highlights. Is oversight ultimately only as strong as the executive branch’s willingness to follow the law? Even when Congress acts through its investigations and legislation, its leverage can be blunted when executive branch agencies stonewall, disregard court orders, and treat laws as optional. Perhaps it comes down to us, the citizens, to demand change and continue to demand it until we see it? The conversation also gets practical about what Congress can do and where the limits really are.
