1.26.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: ICE Killing in Minneapolis Ignites Backlash. Insider Trading Ban Bill, DHS Funding Battle

Another tragic murder in Minneapolis. An ICE officer shoots and kills a man while he was protecting a woman being harassed by ICE. I spoke with a Minneapolis City Councilwoman about the city's plans to protect its citizens.

House Republicans are pushing new legislation they say will stop insider trading -- but critics argue it does no such thing. A U.S Congressman will join me later to talk about his plans to help ban stock trading in the federal government.

Democrats are drawing a hard line. Senate leaders say they'll vote no on Homeland Security funding -- putting parts of the federal government on the brink of a shutdown.

1.28.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: FBI Probes Georgia Election Office. GOP Cuts HBCU Voting. Judge Blocks Va. Map. AOC Takes on CVS.

The FBI has searched a Georgia election office for evidence to support former President Trump's false claims that his 2020 election defeat was due to widespread voting fraud.

In North Carolina, Republicans have reduced the number of voting sites at the nation's largest historically Black college and university, prompting students to file a lawsuit.

In Virginia, a judge has blocked lawmakers' pro-Democratic voting map. We'll also bring you the results of a new poll revealing what issues matter most to Virginians.

It seems that local and state police agencies are on a collision course with ICE agents. The President of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives will explain the complexities of this power struggle.

New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called out CVS Health's corporate strategy to monopolize patient care.

And a white city councilman in Florida is facing backlash for how he addressed white supremacy. Many people focused on his choice of words in the example and overlooked his core message, prompting calls for his resignation.
