Local Sales Tax Hikes & ICE Unrest: Government Power Surge and Citizen Backlash

Hour 1: On today’s episode of The Drive with Trey Radel, we tackle two major flashpoints in American civic life: a proposed local sales tax increase and the ongoing ICE protests in Minnesota following contentious federal immigration enforcement actions.

We start by breaking down the impact of proposed local sales tax increases — what they mean for family budgets, small business competitiveness, and the fundamental issue of government spending versus taxpayer burden. Is this just another stealth tax grab that disproportionately hurts working-class Americans? We’ll explore the arguments, alternatives, and who stands to gain or lose.

Then, we pivot to the rapidly evolving situation in Minnesota, where federal immigration enforcement has sparked protests and legal challenges. After a fatal shooting involving an ICE agent in Minneapolis, demonstrations have escalated and drawn national attention. A federal judge has limited how immigration agents may respond to peaceful protesters — a legal intervention that raises pressing questions about law enforcement authority, civil liberties, and the rule of law. Meanwhile, protestors even disrupted a church service in St. Paul to target an ICE official, prompting a Department of Justice investigation. The conflict highlights broader tensions over federal power, local governance, and public safety.
