Accountability for ICE Shootings? Legal Expert Says It’s Possible

Season 2026 Episode 8087 | 18m 06s

Following the fatal shootings of two US citizens by ICE agents in Minneapolis, Pres. Trump sent Border Czar Tom Homan to take control of the immigration operation in the city. This comes as a pair of federal agents involved in Alex Pretti's death have been placed on administrative leave. Law prof. Stephen Vladeck joins us to talk about the role state and local courts can play in pursuing justice.
