DMZ America Podcast Ep 206: “ICE vs.America”

It’s a perfect time for the “DMZ America Podcast” as political cartoonists Ted Rall (Left) and Scott Stantis (Right) dive into the explosive anti-ICE protests rocking Los Angeles and beyond! LA streets are buzzing with demonstrators fighting ICE’s brutal deportation raids, sparking clashes with armed riot cops and fueling a national uproar over immigration control and constitutional rights. The controversy is fueled by Trump’s war of words with California Gov. Gavin Newsom over state vs. federal power—each side is screaming but how much substance is there really? Protests are spreading fast to cities like New York, Chicago and Seattle, raising the heat on Trump’s immigration policy. Then there’s the question of Marines aiding ICE—does it break the Posse Comitatus Act, which limits military in domestic law enforcement? The stakes are huge: political fallout is hitting both parties, with Republicans doubling down and Democrats caught in a messy bind, torn between progressive ideals and voter backlash. Ted and Scott bring their sharp pens and sharper minds to unpack this chaos with no-BS takes.
