In this episode of State of Play, host Greg Stoker is joined by journalist Jalyssa Dugrot and Middle East analyst Robert Inlakesh to expose a disturbing transnational alliance between U.S. immigration enforcement and Israeli intelligence-linked tech firms.

They dig into ICE’s covert “Tiger Team,” which targeted over 5,000 student activists flagged by the blacklist website Canary Mission. We follow the money and military ties behind firms like Paragon Solutions and Zencity, Israeli companies now contracting with U.S. law enforcement to deploy surveillance tools originally developed for controlling Palestinians.

Also discussed: leaked testimony published by the Knight First Amendment Institute, revealing ICE's reliance on ideologically motivated sources, and a 2018 ADL training in Israel attended by a top ICE official.

What happens to Palestinians abroad is now happening to students and migrants in the U.S.—and no one is off limits.

The Epstein case is officially over—no client list, no accountability, and no justice.

Trump’s DOJ sealed the files under the guise of victim protection, but the timing is telling. While MAGA world celebrates “draining the swamp,” ICE quietly becomes the third-largest military force on Earth.

In this episode, Greg Stoker opens on the elite-friendly conclusion to the Epstein saga and follows the thread through the militarization of ICE, the decline of U.S. prison retention, and the consolidation of state power under Trump 2.0.

From Gaza to the border, the performance of rebellion ends exactly where it was designed to: with more war, more surveillance, and more control.

As famine ravages northern Gaza, so-called humanitarian efforts backed by the United States are coming under fire—literally.

In this episode, investigative journalist Robert Inlakesh breaks down disturbing reports that U.S.-linked mercenaries guarding the Gaza maritime aid pier have been firing on Palestinian civilians.

Eyewitnesses say American contractors are working alongside Israeli forces in military operations that blur the line between aid and warfare.

We examine the origins of this maritime pier, the private military firms involved, and the deadly consequences for Gaza’s starving population.

Is the U.S. using “humanitarian aid” as a smokescreen for military escalation? Or is this yet another front in Washington’s deepening involvement in Israel’s war on Gaza?
