Inquiry: if you watched Lawerence last night (2/5/2026) on MS NOW

He interviewed a guy that wrote a book on the history of US boarder control from its beginning, 1924.
He talked about their behavior is exactly the same in US cities like Minneapolis. This is how they act at the boarder and worse.

I want to find that clip and post it here. It was quite revealing. I can't find it on YouTube. Can someone help?

Plus, what is the man's name and the title of his book.

You would think I didn't even see it, I am missing so much information.

I did see it!

Thank you!

I wish that last segment was its own clip.

It is so revealing and interesting. I think I need to read his book.

I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley and remember getting stopped at border patrol checkpoints when heading up north out of the Valley. I personally never had any issues. Most of the time, the Border Patrol never even asked for my Drivers License. There were storied from some of my classmates who were not white about the Border Patrol being assholes

Lawrence interviewed Prof. Reece Jones, who wrote a NYT op-ed: "The Border Patrol is the Problem: It Always Has Been"

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/opinion/border-patrol-ice-minneapolis.html

Mr. Jones is the author of “Nobody Is Protected: How the Border Patrol Became the Most Dangerous Police Force in the United States.” He has spent years researching the racist origins of the Border Patrol, its alarming lack of legal constraints, and its ever-growing sphere of operations well beyond the country's borders. (The title of his book is from a Supreme Court hearing -- in 1973.)

Will post a link to video when I find it -- the first half of the show has been posted at MSNOW; this was the last segment on Fri, 2/5.


Someone posted a YouTube video above -- for some reason I found *two* videos of the whole show except for the last segment !
