Federal agents' tactics against protesters

On ICE, Minneapolis – and your questions & comments.

Contributing editor Ryan Zickgraf is back from Minnesota and tells us what is happening on the ground. We also discuss:

• If this was Trump picking a fight, why Minnesota?

• Do the slayings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti mark a step-change in who can be killed in the US with relative impunity?

• What are the implications for the 2nd Amendment and will this divide MAGA World?

• Does a hard border necessarily entail a hard, militarised society too? Is the interiorisation of the border inevitable?
