In Part 1 of this critical conversation, Congressman Scott Peters and FWD.us President Todd Schulte discuss the aggressive shift in immigration enforcement. They dive into the "all-of-government" approach that has seen federal agents raiding local San Diego small businesses with tactical gear and flashbangs—not to catch "kingpins," but to arrest dishwashers.

We break down the data behind the headlines: Why economists warn that these policies could add $2,150 a year to the average family’s expenses and drive food prices up by 14.5%. This isn't just about policy; it's about the literal price of enforcement.

In this episode, we cover:

• Tactical raids on San Diego's "pretty good" local pizza shops.
• The "Jump Out Kill Squad" tactics and the tragedy in Minneapolis.
• How DHS agents are being reassigned from tax enforcement to kitchen raids.
• The massive expansion of "Mega Warehouse Jails" and private prisons.
