The Patrick Madrid Show: January 26, 2026 - Hour 3

Patrick pulls listeners into heated conversations around immigration enforcement, where legal realities and compassion collide through personal stories and sharp debates. He fields passionate calls about ICE raids, family histories, and how shifting politics drive emotions across the nation. Authentic perspectives and strong disagreements fill the air as Patrick threads questions of faith, law, and empathy in unexpected ways.   Patrick shares a batch of emails that have come in over the last hour in regard to the ICE protests in Minneapolis (00:35) Rosendo - I don't agree with some things Jose said. Not sure that immigration has been the same. I saw my dad's struggles. He didn't cut corners. There were peaceful marches during Obama but not nationwide like it is now. (08:14) Margareta - I want to take you to task for using the word lunatic. I live in assisted living and retired teacher. (16:48) Eileen - I think there is a lack of empathy. Algorithms are shaping the narrative. (18:03) Cyrus shares a couple of emails that have just come in (22:29) Tim - You are not talking about the real issue. This is a revolution going on in Minnesota. You can't call this unnecessary. (25:40) Patty - I appreciate that you allow diversity of opinions on your program. I think we do need reform of immigration. A lot of people get emotional over this. I am against illegal immigration. (33:54) Annie - I am an immigrant to the US, and my parents took English classes and didn’t have government assistance. I feel strongly that we need to fix immigration and fighting in the streets is not the answer. (37:19) Jeff - We have laws and those need to be abided by without exception. (42:22)
