YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this episode of The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, we discuss the growing legal gray zone in America’s protest movement — where First Amendment rights may collide with allegations of obstructing law enforcement. As immigration enforcement operations expand, officials say some self-described legal observers and journalists may be crossing the line from documenting events to interfering with them.

Maggie Miller is joined by lead investigator Benjamin Weingarten to discuss the rise of “ICE watchers,” the role of citizen journalists, and the legal questions now facing courts and the community. When does observing become participating — and where is the line drawn?
