    ICE at the Polls?

    Election Day is weeks away, and the officials who control armed federal law enforcement still won't say a simple word: no. Host John Carlos Frey breaks down the pattern building since February 2026 — FBI Director Kash Patel's refusal, under direct questioning from the Senate Judiciary Committee, to commit that FBI agents will stay away from polling places; DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin's “specific threat” exception for ICE deployment at voting sites; a bipartisan warning letter from a dozen senators that went effectively unanswered; and the one clean, written denial in this entire story — from Gen. Dan Caine — that came with a glaring asterisk. This is a sourced, fact-checked breakdown of what's been said on the record, what hasn't, and what that silence means. https://stateline.org/2026/09/10/repub/suit-challenges-trump-administration-move-to-allow-some-ice-presence-at-polling-places/ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-live-patel-testifies-on-fbi-oversight-before-senate-panel-amid-troubled-tenure https://minnlawyer.com/2026/09/14/lawsuit-ice-agents-polling-places-election-voting/ https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer:  The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Fixing America's Broken Immigration System

    Host John Carlos Frey sits down with immigration attorney and author Robert Coughlon Jr. to discuss his new book, Fixing Immigration in America: A Commonsense Plan for Immigration Reform. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in family-based immigration and deportation defense — and a personal history that includes his father's career as a Border Patrol agent, INS adjudicator, immigration attorney, and eventually immigration judge — Coughlon lays out a middle-ground approach to one of the most polarizing issues in American politics. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HFM1T65P?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer:  The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.      Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    A 3,000-Child Detention Camp

    In the summer of 2026, the Department of Health and Human Services quietly published a federal procurement notice most Americans never saw. The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is asking contractors to design, build, and run an "emergency intake facility" — a campus capable of holding up to 3,000 unaccompanied migrant children at a single site. In this episode of The Raid, host John Carlos Frey investigates the government's case for a mega-facility — surge capacity, efficiency, and faster case processing — and weighs it against the history of similar facilities in Homestead, Florida and Tornillo, Texas, which held thousands of children before closing under legal and political pressure. The Raid lays out the facts the government disputes. https://samsearch.co/gov-explore/federal/emergency-intake-facility-and-wrap-around-services-for-unaccompanied-alien-child/f54069e482d5 https://oig.hhs.gov/reports/all/operational-challenges-within-orr-and-the-orr-emergency-intake-site-at-fort-bliss-hindered-case-management-for-children https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer:  The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.      Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    All Immigration Judges Should Quit

    George Pappas spent twenty years as an immigration attorney before becoming an immigration judge in 2023. Two years later, he was fired by email — three sentences, no explanation, the same day as a dozen colleagues around the country. Pappas has advocated for all immigration judges to quit since they are working within a corrupt and broken system. In this episode, we break down Pappas's account, the data behind the wave of judicial firings and resignations, why immigration courts sit inside the Department of Justice rather than the independent judiciary, and the argument for — and against — mass resignation as a form of protest. https://theraidpodcast.org/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Memo Torres Won't Give Up

    They want you exhausted. That's the strategy. Journalist Memo Torres returns to The Raid to talk about ICE burnout — and why staying engaged might be the most radical thing you can do right now. After more than a year of escalating ICE raids, record detentions, and rising deaths in custody, host John Carlos Frey asks the hard question — how do we stay engaged when the trauma never stops? Torres opens up about the toll of covering immigration enforcement every day, the friends and rapid-response volunteers who've had to step back, and why he believes disengagement is actually part of the administration's strategy. The conversation moves from burnout and mental health to the bigger picture: the upcoming midterm elections, the erosion of democratic institutions, historical patterns of authoritarian regimes, and what ordinary people can do in the next 60 days to stay in the fight. https://lataco.com/author/memo https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer:  The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.      Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Countdown to November — A Warning

    Before you press play, host John Carlos Frey wants you to know what this episode is. More than a year ago, a source he's worked with for close to 15 years — someone who has never once given him bad information — told him a specific set of things was coming. All five have now happened. But there's a sixth thing the source described — a plan to engineer chaos or violence at the polls this November and pin it on the political left, potentially opening the door to the Insurrection Act, ICE deployments at polling places, or seized ballots. That part, Frey is clear, he cannot verify. One source. No document. No second confirmation, despite a year of trying. “I need to say this as plainly as I possibly can: I cannot verify that claim. I have no second source for it, no document,” Frey says early in the episode, before asking listeners to decide for themselves whether to keep listening. He spends the rest of the episode explaining why, after a year of trying to corroborate it, he decided to report it anyway — and what he wants you watching for between now and November. If you work in an election office, at CISA, DHS, or DOJ and have documents — not a feeling, not a hunch — Frey wants to hear from you. He's protected sources for 20 years. https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.      Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    She Fled Guatemala to Save Her Children

    Veteran journalist Charles Fleming returns to The Raid to tell the story of Maritza, an asylum seeker from Guatemala who survived decades of abuse before finding refuge in the United States. Host John Carlos Frey and Fleming trace Maritza's six-year journey through the U.S. asylum system: her legal border crossing to request protection, the landmark policy that first recognized domestic-violence survivors from Central America as a protected class, and the grueling process of proving her trauma to skeptical judges. Along the way, they confront the myths surrounding asylum seekers — that they're "freeloaders" gaming the system — and lay out what's actually true. The conversation closes with a sobering update: under the current administration, officials have stated the asylum system is effectively closed, and asylum seekers today are being redirected to third countries rather than allowed to stay in the U.S. Frey and Fleming ask what a nation loses — economically and spiritually — when it turns away people like Maritza. https://substack.com/@charlesuncounted https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Married to a U.S. Citizen - Detained by ICE Anyway

    Tatiana came to the United States from Russia on a legal visa and is married to a U.S. citizen. Five and a half months ago, she was arrested by ICE outside the Santa Monica studio where she worked as a tattoo artist — no warrant, no charges, no explanation. Her husband, Amir Modaraei, joins The Raid to tell the full story: how a 911 call during a rough patch in their relationship put Tatiana on ICE's radar, how an agent allegedly surveilled and harassed the couple for nine months before her arrest, and the habeas corpus fight Amir has waged ever since to bring her home. In this raw, emotional conversation, Amir describes Tatiana's ongoing detention at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center — the undrinkable water, inedible food, and pay-to-eat commissary system — along with the bond hearings, a judge reassignment, and the pending green card process that, according to Amir, should have kept her out of custody entirely. He also opens up about the guilt he carries, why he's chosen to speak publicly despite the backlash, and what he believes really drives the U.S. immigration detention system. This is the story of one family caught inside America's deportation machine — and a husband who refuses to stay quiet. https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
