Maggie starts today's show with more breaking news. Mayor Ras Baraka's arrest at a protest ignites a firestorm, as the Trump administration faces judicial rebukes and drops bombshells. In a jaw-dropping move, they're considering suspending habeas corpus, echoing the darkest days of U.S. history. Trump's selective refugee policy favors white Afrikaners while other desperate refugees languish. Jeff Mandell of Law Forward discusses how federal judges slam the administration for bad faith and unlawful detentions, revealing a pattern of authoritarian overreach. And Earl Ingram discusses how civil rights gains are eroding and public trust is plummeting. Maggie and Earl call for Americans to unite and confront these unprecedented threats to democracy has never been more urgent.
