    Life Unscripted - Ep 18 - ICE Raids In Mpls: Former HC Attorney Speaks Out

    The news out of Minnesota has been bleak since the Federal Government unleashed Ice Agents on Minnesota, but its attack on the streets of Minneapolis, following the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti are unprecedented. The legal questions continue to rise surrounding how the city of Minneapolis fights back against the Federal Government to get ICE off the streets. On this episode of “Life Unscripted”, Alix Kendall sits down with the Former Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman who took on many high profile cases in Minneapolis such as the George Floyd Murder Trial. Freeman served in that role for 24 years until 2023. #iceout #iceoutmpls The interview was recorded on January 30th, 2026, but since then, the Department of Homeland Security announced on February 4th (the day this podcast dropped) that it is withdrawing 700 personnel from Minnesota.

Shapiro reveals the emotional and legal battle faced by former child actors and students of the Children’s Theater School in Minneapolis. The dedication of the survivors to make the institution accountable made news headlines for months.  This is the first time Alix publicly reveals her personal, and integral part in how the CTC story unfolded.
