With the nation’s attention focused on the spectacle of murderous federal agents gunning down citizens in Minneapolis, the masked violence of the Trump Administration – and civil society’s opposition to it – manifest in Santa Barbara this week. Ryan P. Cruz, Josh Molina and Nick Welsh join the genial host to discuss the invasion of the Eastside by immigration authorities, the protests that arose in response, and the precarious role that local law enforcement plays in the conflict. Plus: rent freeze, new plan for State Street, homeless center update, farewell to local heroes.
