    Part one of a special, two-part series, about Jeremy Loffredo, the first American journalist ever arrested by Israel, and the questions that were raised about not only Israel, but the outlet Jeremy worked for, once our team started looking into his story. We’re re-airing these episodes because they won Best Reporting from the Podcast Academy, at the 2026 Ambie Awards.  “Question Everything” is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory.

    Are We Captured Yet? Now Trump’s Pals Are Taking Over CNN

    News recently broke that Paramount, which is newly controlled by David Ellison and his billionaire dad Larry Ellison, won the bid to buy Warner-Brothers Discovery, after aggressively squeezing out Netflix.  As Trump himself has said, the Ellisons are “friends of mine…big supporters of mine, and they’ll do the right thing.” Is the “right thing” squashing critical coverage of the president? Doing stories he’s more inclined to like? The Ellisons already own CBS News, through Paramount; now they’re about to own CNN. Larry Ellison also has a new ownership stake in TikTok, via a deal anointed by Trump. Is this what experts call “media capture?” Is the U.S. in it, right now?  In this conversation we first ran in October 2025, after the Ellisons took control of Paramount, foreign correspondent Natalia Antelava explains the insidious implications of media capture from her experience living and reporting in captured countries around the world.  “Question Everything” is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory.

    A Reporter Fights for His Freedom (Part Two)

    After journalist Mario Guevara was arrested while covering an anti-ICE protest, ICE moved him into their detention. As his lawyers and the ACLU tried to get Mario free, ICE argued again and again that he shouldn’t be let out, because his journalism made him too dangerous.  Mario was behind bars for 111 days. Then deported to El Salvador. If you’re wondering where the hell the first amendment is in all this, so are we!  In the second episode in our special two-part series about Mario Guevara, we look into how the federal government targeted and detained a reporter, and ultimately fast-tracked his deportation–his first amendment rights be damned. Please take 5 minutes to fill out this survey about Question Everything – it’ll help us know who’s listening and what you want from us!

  5. Why did ICE Lock Up this Pro-Trump Reporter? (Part One)

    Why did ICE Lock Up this Pro-Trump Reporter? (Part One)

    In June, journalist Mario Guevara was arrested while covering an anti-ICE protest in Georgia, transferred to ICE detention, and locked up by the federal government for more than 100 days. And that wasn’t even the worst of it.  But Mario is not the kind of ICE-criticizing reporter you might be picturing. He was a Trump-supporting, Republican-identifying, law-and-order-sympathizing immigration hawk, who knew ICE well and had covered them favorably for years. Why did the Trump administration still go after him? This is the first in a special two-part series about Mario Guevara.  Please take 5 minutes to fill out this survey about Question Everything – it’ll help us know who’s listening and what you want from us!

Scarlet Kim, ACLU This episode has been updated to reflect the fact that Mario Guevara had a Social Security card before his immigration case was administratively closed, not after. His subsequent green card petition was also unrelated.

    A Minnesota Dad Takes on ICE

    Our managing editor, Kevin Sullivan, had a conversation this week with an old colleague in Minnesota that we wanted to share with you as quickly as we could. He’s a former data journalist, Michael Corey, who lives with his family in St. Paul. As ICE agents have flooded Mike’s state as part of a massive federal immigration enforcement operation, he started getting involved in grassroots efforts to track and document ICE’s conduct. He’s been following and filming agents during tense encounters, including one where they chased an American citizen into a building, pinned him against a wall, and arrested him.  Mike takes us inside what it’s like to live in Minnesota right now, and tells us how he and his neighbors are getting and trying to verify information with the encrypted messaging app, Signal, which he thinks deserves a Pulitzer.

    Illinois Governor JB Pritzker on How He Fought ICE’s Messaging War

    As ICE agents have continued to threaten and kill people in Minneapolis and Minnesota’s governor and other state officials plead with the agency to leave, we share an interview with the governor of another state that was recently targeted by ICE: JB Pritzker of Illinois.  In October, as ICE agents were descending on Chicago in “Operation Midway Blitz”, Ben Smith and Max Tani of the Mixed Signals podcast from Semafor spoke to Governor Pritzker about the novel communications tactics he was using to combat ICE’s incursion into his city. Eventually he was successful in stopping President Trump from sending in National Guard troops, and Border Patrol agents left the city. It was an urgent and timely conversation with lots of significance as we watch a similar situation unfold daily in Minnesota. Thanks to Semafor for letting us share this interview with you. Find all episodes of Mixed Signals here.   Sign up for Semafor Media’s Sunday newsletter here.  The hosts are on X: @semaforben, @maxwelltani Question Everything is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory.Please rate and review our show – on this very app that you’re in right now!
