What's the Endgame in DHS Brutality?

KQED's Forum

About this episode

The fatal shooting of Alex Pretti on Saturday, the second U.S. citizen killed by federal agents in Minneapolis this month, is drawing bipartisan outrage. Many Americans are questioning the broader purpose of the deadly tactics and the Trump Administration’s defense of agents’ conduct. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats say they’ll block DHS funding, which could lead to a government shutdown, as calls for the impeachment of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem grow. We discuss the guardrails that could keep our democracy safe and we want to hear from you: What do you think is the administration’s endgame, and what could make the violence stop? Guests: Zack Beauchamp, senior correspondent, Vox - covering challenges to democracy and right-wing populism; author, "The Reactionary Spirit" Claudia Grisales , congressional correspondent, NPR Learn more about your ad choices.
