What’s Happening To Civil Rights Under ICE? w/ David Gans

Grant talks to David Gans about what we’re seeing happen to civil rights and Constitutional rights as ICE continues to occupy Minneapolis.

Gans is the Director of the Human Rights, Civil Rights and Citizenship Program at the Constitutional Accountability Center.

They discuss how ICE is crossing Constitutional lines, is there a way back from that, and how history is repeating itself when it comes to the 14th Amendment and the Civil War.
