Join host Leticia Remauro on this episode of Let's Talk News to dive into the escalation of violent protests targeting law enforcement, Christians and Jews taking place across America.

From Los Angeles to Portland, Dallas, Michigan and beyond, we'll discuss this new form of protest that seems to be aimed at eliminating the people who protesters disagree with.

Could these incidents really be coincidental? From rioters assaulting agents, slashing tires, and defacing buildings in LA—where over 1,000 demonstrators clashed with law enforcement —to guillotine-wielding mobs in Portland burning flags and hurling fireworks at officers, and now the fire bombing of and shooting at a church in Michigan, the question is: Who's fueling this violence?

In an ironic twist, interfaith coalitions, including the United Church of Christ, Presbyterian Church (USA), and Episcopal Church, have filed lawsuits to block ICE from "sensitive locations" like houses of worship, arguing it interferes with their religious mandate to shelter immigrants.

Pastors and clergy are mobilizing congregants for prayer vigils, "Know Your Rights" trainings, and street protests—some even serving as human buffers to de-escalate tensions in LA and Chicago.

But critics warn this activism risks crossing into incitement, especially as Democratic rhetoric compares ICE to "Nazis" and glorifies rioters, leading to a 413% spike in assaults on officers.

Are faith leaders protecting the vulnerable or exacerbating the violence?
Let's talk about it, tonight at 8pm EST.
