Radio AtlanticEach week, a new idea Author: The Atlantic
The Atlantic has long been known as an ideas-driven magazine. Now were bringing that same ethos to audio. Like the magazine, the show will road test the big ideas that both drive the news and shape our culture. Through conversationsand sometimes sharp debateswith the most insightful thinkers and writers on topics of the day, Radio Atlantic will complicate overly simplistic views. It will cut through the noise with clarifying, personal narratives. It will, hopefully, help listeners make up their own mind about certain ideas. The national conversation right now can be chaotic, reckless, and stuck. Radio Atlantic aims to bring some order to our thinkingand encourage listeners to be purposeful about how they unstick their mind.

Do ICE Officers Have 'Immunity'?
Episode 165
Thursday, 15 January, 2026
Tensions are high in Minneapolis this week. The Trump administration is sending more federal agents. Protesters are calling for justice for the killing of an unarmed citizen. But what could actually happen legally? Especially when the Department of Justice seems more interested in trying to open a criminal investigation into the victim’s wife than the ICE officer who pulled the trigger? We talk to the legal researcher Bryna Godar about the history of prosecutions against federal agents and why they’re not often successful. And we speak with the Atlantic staff writer Nick Miroff, who covers immigration, about what members of ICE are saying internally—and why they now feel more emboldened than ever.
