ICE Is Still Here. Plus, Why Do So Many People Hate the State Flag?
As the national media has largely moved on from ICE's actions in the Twin Cities, Minneapolis council member Jason Chavez has continued to spread awareness of ICE's ongoing presence. Sean and contributor PaviElle French sit down with Chavez to talk about what he is seeing in his neighborhood and hearing from his constituents. Sean and PaviElle also talk about a recent Star Tribune poll that found only about 30% of Minnesotans statewide approve of our state flag design. Listeners and readers share their comments when Sean opens up the mailbag.
