US EditionMinneapolis ICE Shooting; Milwaukee Latino Voices Reflect Divided Views
The fatal shooting during a major federal enforcement operation involving 2,000 agents has sparked nationwide protests and calls for accountability and policy review.

- This episode also recalls other violent ICE interactions over the past year, with commentators including The Daily Show describing it as a political Rorschach test, local officials warned.
