Description: On this week's Indypendent News Hour, we got a live update on resistance to the ICE surge in Minneapolis from freelance Minnesota journalist Clint Combs. In our second segment we spoke with Hudson Valley activists who are opposing a proposed new ICE detention facility in Chester, New York. In our final segment, we spoke with Conrad Blackburn, a public defender, union organizer and Black socialist who is running for a Harlem State Assembly seat. Throughout the show, we'll have live updates from a mass anti-ICE protest being held at Bryant Park while we are on the air.
