Arrests of journalists fuel backlash as ICE protests spread

Season 2026 Episode 26 | 4m 50s

The Justice Department said today it has opened a civil rights investigation into the shooting death of Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse who was killed in Minneapolis last weekend. That news came shortly after there were more arrests in Minnesota over a protest, and as the national backlash against the immigration crackdown grows. Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports.
