The gang discusses the killing of Renée Good, a U.S. citizen fatally shot by an ICE agent during protests against a federal immigration operation in Minneapolis. With conflicting accounts from federal authorities, witnesses, and local officials, they dig into questions of use of force, accountability, and how immigration enforcement is escalating inside U.S. cities. Then, they turn to California’s proposed billionaire wealth tax, which has prompted Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin to move assets and cut ties with the state.
