In this interview, we talk to Matt Wylder, a tech worker and member of Socialist Refoundation and DSA Chicago, discussing the explosive anti-ICE protests that have erupted across the United States and the broader political implications of Donald Trump’s attacks on immigrants. Matt talks about the growing resistance to immigration raids and deportations, the role of ICE as a central pillar of state repression, and the increasingly authoritarian character of US politics under Trump. Matt also discusses the response of the labour movement and the Left, the anger developing among young people and workers, and the wider social and economic crisis driving polarization in the US.
