• Show Notes

How far has ICE strayed from its original mission? And how has its evolution led to the deadly shooting of Renee Good? This week, lawyer and former ICE Assistant Director for Legislative Affairs Elliot Williams joins Preet Bharara to discuss the recent ICE shooting in Minneapolis and why its aftermath is unprecedented.

Plus, they discuss the lessons that still resonate today from a notorious ‘80s case explored in Williams’s new book, Five Bullets: The Story of Bernie Goetz, New York’s Explosive ‘80s, and the Subway Vigilante Trial That Divided the Nation.

Then, Preet answers your questions on President Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act to quell anti-ICE protests in Minnesota, Trump’s proposed tariffs on European countries that oppose American control of Greenland, and the State Department’s font change for official documents.

In the bonus for Insiders, Elliot shares his advice for NYC’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, if he were to encounter another so-called “subway vigilante.” Join the CAFE Insider community to stay informed without the hysteria, fear-mongering, or rage-baiting.
