DOJ Invents Conspiracies Out of Some Dents in a Car
Summary
This episode analyzes a federal conspiracy indictment against fifteen Minnesota activists, including Kyle Wagner, accused of targeting ICE agents. Guest Bruce Nestor argues the case relies on flimsy evidence and selective prosecution to criminalize anti-ICE dissent. The discussion highlights parallels to the collapsed Broadview 6 case, warning that the government aims to suppress political opposition and expand enforcement powers under the guise of national security.
