## Resource

In this episode of The Raid, John Carlos Frey sits down with Adam Isaacson to unpack the systematic dismantling of oversight and accountability mechanisms within the Department of Homeland Security — and what it means for migrants, Border Patrol agents, ICE officials and American democracy. Isaacson, author of the report The Dismantling of Internal Oversight and Accountability at DHS, walks through the agencies tasked with keeping ICE and Customs and Border Protection in check. https://www.wola.org/staff/adam-isacson/ https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").
