In this Proud American Studios Forum, former SEAL Team 6 operator and law enforcement professional Trey Lindsey sits down with a panel of experts to break down the ICE operations, protests, officer‑involved shootings, and Somali fraud scandal shaking Minneapolis.

You’ll hear from retired Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Michael Koscielniak, law enforcement veteran and use‑of‑force expert Dr. Darcy Leutzinger, retired U.S. Army Special Forces Colonel Jamie Williamson, and former intelligence and counter‑terrorism officer Del Wilber. Together, they walk through what’s really happening on the ground, how sanctuary city policies are affecting public safety, and why outside money and influence—from Communist China to American “belongers”—are fueling unrest.

The panel explains how federal agents actually operate in Minnesota, what “totality of the circumstances” means in deadly force investigations, and why the media narrative around illegal immigration, officer‑involved shootings, and protests is leaving out critical facts. They discuss the Somali fraud case exposed by journalist Nick Shirley, the role of local and federal politicians, and how cultural and ideological warfare have set the stage for a “low‑level insurgency” inside the United States.
