Outrage in Minnesota, Chaos in New York & Budget Trouble in SC (Ep 774)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's show covers a controversial pardon in Minnesota, a dramatic immigration enforcement update, a dangerous stunt atop one of America's most famous landmarks, and South Carolina's budget impasse. Minnesota officials, including Governor Tim Walz, are facing intense criticism after granting a pardon to an undocumented immigrant who had previously been convicted of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl and had been slated for deportation. We break down the timeline, the pardon process, and the reaction from across the political spectrum. Meanwhile, newly released body camera footage shows the dramatic arrest of two social media influencers who climbed the antenna of the Empire State Building before becoming engaged high above New York City. We have the latest on the criminal charges and the viral video that has everyone talking. Also today, immigration enforcement operations continue to expand. Federal authorities say U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested approximately 10,000 people over a five-day period as enforcement efforts intensified following recent legal developments involving birthright citizenship. We examine what officials are reporting and what it means moving forward. And back in South Carolina, lawmakers failed to approve a state budget before the July 1 deadline. We explain what happens now, how state government continues operating under a continuing resolution, and the major issues lawmakers still must resolve before a final spending plan is adopted. 🎯 In Today's Show: Tim Walz faces criticism over controversial pardon Empire State Building climbers caught on body camera ICE announces 10,000 arrests in five days Immigration enforcement update South Carolina misses state budget deadline What happens next at the State House 📩 Join our mailing list at JoeyHudson.com 📱 Text or call the Firmin Ford text line: 864-477-JOEY (5639) 👉 Subscribe for daily breaking news, political analysis, South Carolina news, and interviews with leaders shaping today's headlines. #BreakingNews #TimWalz #ICE #Immigration #EmpireStateBuilding #SouthCarolina #Budget #Politics #Minnesota #NewsUpdate #JustTheTruth #TrendingNow #SCPolitics
