The DoJ Goes After the Victims Wife While Exonerating the ICE Shooter Who Murdered Renee Good
We begin with resignations of Minnesota prosecutors and career prosecutors at the DoJ’s Civil Rights Division over its ridiculously unqualified leader’s decision to go after the wife of the victim of the ICE murder in Minneapolis while exonerating the shooter. Joining us is Emmanuel Mauleón, an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota where his research and writing focuses on the roles that police and other state security actors play in producing social, political, and legal regimes of domination and subordination. He taught previously at the UCLA School of Law and served as a Liberty and National Security Fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice where his work centered on addressing White Nationalist domestic terrorism, hate crime policy, and the surveillance and policing of Black Muslim communities.
With Over 3,000 Killed By the Iranian Regime, Will Trump Come to The People’s Rescue as Promised?
Then we examine whether Trump is repeating Obama’s mistake of declaring a Red Line is Syria and then backing away from it as Trump threatens to strike Iran if it kills demonstrators which the regime is doing now as thousands are killed and Trump has not come to the Iranian people’s rescue as promised. Joining us is Ray Takeyh, a senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. He is also a professor at the Center for Peace and Security Studies at Georgetown University and recently held the post of senior adviser to the special adviser for the Gulf and Southwest Asia at the U.S. Department of State. His latest books include The Guardians of the Revolution: Iran’s Approach to the World and The Last Shah: America, Iran, and the Fall of the Pahlavi Dynasty, and he has an article at The Wall Street Journal we discuss, “Don’t Repeat Obama’s Mistake in Iran.”
Can the Europeans and the UN With Its R2P (Responsibility to Protect) Help to Stop the Regime’s Killing of Its Own People?
Then finally we speak with Mark Fitzpatrick, an Associate Fellow for Strategy, Technology and Arms Control and former Executive Director of the Washington-based Americas office of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, as well as former head of the Institute’s work on non-proliferation. He served as US Foreign Service Officer and as acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Non-Proliferation, and his books include The Iranian Nuclear Crisis: Avoiding Worst-Case Outcomes and Uncertain Future: The JCPOA and Iran’s Nuclear and Missile Programs. We discuss whether the UN’s 2005 R2P, Responsibility to Protect edict applies to the situation as an unpopular government increases its brutality, killing more and more of its own people.
