The Truth with Sherwin Hughes ·

2025/10/08

Sherwin unpacks a violent encounter outside an ICE facility where a woman says she was physically violated by officers — all because she stopped to ask for directions.

One minute there were rumblings of an investigation; the next, it’s like the whole thing vanished into thin air.

And now, the Supreme Court appears to be taking the case seriously.
