MS Now reporter Jacob Soboroff suggested that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest warrants could be used as “tools” by the Trump administration.
On Wednesday’s “Hasan Minhaj I Don’t Know” podcast, host Hasan Minhaj asked Soboroff if he believes the ongoing protesters who are filming ICE agents are “doing what MAGA wants” by showing people in custody as they hoped.
