This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

There's a big group of them.

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

Twelve jurors, three alternates.

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

And the judge starts asking questions to the jurors to see potential bias in the jurors.

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

So he asked them, what kind of experience do you have with law enforcement?

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

Which is not an unusual question in a trial like this.

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

And then he goes, do you have strong feelings about what ICE has been doing?

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

Are you pro or con?

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

I mean, the government would say that they went to attack an ICE facility.

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

In fact, one of the defendants did shoot a local police officer and that officer was wounded.

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

And the government's arguing that these defendants were organized.

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

They're part of an Antifa cell.

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

This is the government's big case where they're hoping to show that there is an Antifa.

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

It's a domestic terror group and you can win big convictions on that.

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

And so the judge is asking these potential jurors, what are your feelings about ICE?

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

And the way he asks, it's like, do any of you have strong feelings about what ICE is doing?

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

Pro or con is what he says.

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

And he sort of has people raise their hands.
