Today on the show, guest host Kalonji Changa is joined by Martin Reynolds, Co-Executive Director of Revenue and External Affairs at the Maynard Institute, and Daryle Lamont Jenkins, Executive Director and Editor of One Peoples Project / IDAVOX, for a timely and urgent conversation on press freedom and government accountability.
The discussion centers on recent developments in Minnesota involving ICE enforcement and the growing implications for journalists covering immigration policy. Guests examine the reported arrest of journalist Georgia Fort, as well as reports that other media figures “including Don Lemon” have faced government action connected to their reporting on ICE activity in the state. These incidents raise serious questions about civil liberties, government transparency, and the increasing risks journalists face when documenting immigration enforcement and state power.
Later in the show, Poor News Magazine digs deeper into ICE and Americas ongoing assault on disenfranchised communities, highlighting the human cost of enforcement policies and the broader systems that criminalize poverty and migration.
