Our own government deployed more than 3,000 ICE and CBP officers in the Twin Cities, targeting Somali and southeast Asian communities. The assault on the major metropolitan area led to three people being shot, two fatally, and over 3,500 people being detained by ICE, including 70 children. In this conversation moderated by Samuel Freedman, panelists Chao Xiong, chief editor of the Minneapolis-based news organization Sahan Journal, and Gal Beckerman, author of “How to Be a Dissident,” discuss this moment and what it says about the path the United States is on.
