Silky Shah, Detention Watch Network on Trump's Latest Anti-Immigrant Action -- Instituting Indefinite Detention of Refugees

The Trump/Pence regime’s plan to remove any limit on how long families with children will be detained by the government while their asylum claims are heard means many thousands will be held in hellish conditions indefinitely. Trump says he will end “birthright citizenship” for children of immigrants, gutting the 14th Amendment.

Indefinite detention is currently prohibited by a measure known as the 1996 Flores Settlement Agreement. Abrogating this agreement would not only allow the Trump regime to give itself the right to detain asylum seekers indefinitely, but would allow it to impose even harsher conditions. 26 immigrants have died in ICE custody since Trump became president. We'll talk about this with Silky Shah, Executive Director of the Detention Watch Network.

Andy Zee on Trump's Fascist Statements on Jewish People

This week, Donald Trump stated, speaking of Jewish people in the US “If youvote for a Democrat, you’re being disloyal to Jewish people and you’re being very disloyal to Israel.” This statement was attacked by many people, and #DisloyaltoTrump trended on Twitter. We'll talk about all this with Andy Zee, a co-initiator of RefuseFascism.org, and a participant in the National Revolution Tour.
