As the protests over the death of George Floyd have morphed into a larger conversation about policing in America, the Trump administration has responded by sending federal officers into cities throughout the country.

On this episode, Stephen and Nick have brought back guest contributor Grant Miller who is a defense attorney practicing in Utah. We talk about the legality of these actions and the overall trend of degradation of our freedoms in the Bill of Rights.
