ICE's Fascist Theatrics | Protect & Serve with Michael Fanone & Maya May

The Trump regime is more interested in intimidation than law.

  • Creative protests are dismantling the fantasy of a violent left.

  • The Epstein files are cracking MAGA’s “family values” performance.

Maya May and Michael Fanone take the week’s chaos and flip it back onto the people creating it, especially as ICE leadership turns enforcement into a spectacle. The Chicago raids make that impossible to miss—agents posing at the iconic Bean, families dragged from parks, and Greg Bovino answering a judge’s order to release detainees with the cartoonishly authoritarian vow that they would “just arrest 1,500 more.” That one line exposes a mindset where intimidation is the point, legality is an afterthought, and cruelty becomes the shortcut to political relevance. It also reveals how deeply this administration depends on fear to hold its own base together, even as those tactics start to alienate the very communities they claim to defend. And in that environment, the people refusing to look away are becoming the real counterweight, especially as public pushback grows louder and more creative.

Tune in to this week’s Protect & Serve.
