57:04Now PlayingHe fought overseas. Now he’s facing federal charges at home.
In this episode of On Offense, Kris Goldsmith speaks with Ian Austin, a former Army Ranger who deployed six times and is now facing federal charges tied to an anti-ICE action in Minneapolis.
Federal prosecutors allege the incident was a coordinated operation that disrupted a church service and intimidated congregants. Ian Austin says he went to Minneapolis because he saw something he recognized—tactics and conditions that felt familiar from his time at war—and felt compelled to act.
This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about combat, PTSD, moral injury, protest, and what it means to be targeted by the government you once served.
