Army Ranger Charged in Federal Case After ICE Protest | Ian Austin
from On Offense with Kris Goldsmith · host Kris Goldsmith
Who gets to decide who is a terrorist? In this episode of On Offense, Kris Goldsmith sits down with Ian Austin, a former Army Ranger who deployed six times and is now facing federal charges tied to an anti-ICE action in Minnesota. Ian says he went to Minneapolis because he saw something he recognized: fear, force, and a government using power against civilians in ways that felt disturbingly familiar. In this conversation, he talks about war, PTSD, moral injury, activism, and what it feels like to be prosecuted by the same government he once fought for. This is a raw interview about trauma, conscience, protest, and the cost of taking action when democracy is under attack.
