DESCRIPTION
A historic immigration raid in South Carolina, allegations of political timing ahead of the Republican primary, and growing controversy surrounding a Democratic Senate candidate dominate today's discussion. Tara examines immigration enforcement, employer accountability, state politics, and the fallout from allegations that continue to make national headlines.
SUMMARY
South Carolina's largest workplace immigration raid in years has become a major political flashpoint as voters prepare to head to the polls.

The episode also examines South Carolina's governor and attorney general races, focusing on candidates' immigration records and the future of workplace enforcement in the state. In the second half of the show, attention turns to a Democratic Senate candidate facing renewed scrutiny over allegations involving an apparent Nazi-linked tattoo controversy and newly reported accusations from a former girlfriend, raising questions about media coverage, political double standards, and candidate vetting.
