The Walkout Fizzles | ICE Access Fight | Davos Draws a Line

from Patriot Switchboard · host Harlan Mercer

In today’s dispatch, Harlan breaks down the “Free America Walkout” and why the much-hyped nationwide protest barely moved the needle. Then he tackles the court fight over DHS requiring seven days’ notice for congressional visits to ICE detention facilities, and why “oversight” is being used as a stage for confrontation. Finally, from Davos, the Commerce Secretary touts strong Q1 growth and warns the EU against retaliatory tariffs, as the Trump administration signals it’s done taking one-sided deals.
