The Trump Administration is welcoming and embracing white South African “refugees” to America as they continue lying to rationalize kidnapping and deporting innocent, brown immigrants to die in an El Salvador gulag.
How did these 59 white immigrants receive an exception to Trump’s ban on asylum seekers? It’s because they can allegedly be “assimilated easily into our country,” according to Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau. Such grace isn’t afforded to Abrego Kilmar Garcia, who has legally been in the United States for 5 years, married a citizen woman, has citizen children, and committed zero crimes. He’s currently stuck in El Salvador, even though the Trump Administration has admitted he was sent in error. I wonder why this Administration didn’t see him as “assimilated?”
This is a white supremacist regime. They have dropped the hoods and the dog whistles. They are openly showing you who they are with their draconian policies and their hateful rhetoric.
They are now hoping the corrupt, Conservative majority on the Supreme Court will rubber stamp their authoritarian ambitions. Today, the Trump Administration is arguing against the Constitution and seeking to invalidate birthright citizenship enshrined in the 14th Amendment. Recently, they have come out against due process and want to suspend habeas corpus, which will allow Trump to deprive us of the right to challenge our unlawful detention. They are coming after everyone who opposes their rule. This includes Judges such as Judge Hannah C. Dugan of Wisconsin, who was indicted this week simply for doing her job and not bending the knee to ICE brownshirts.
In this Chai Talk, I invite legal ace and commentator Katie Phang, editor of the new Katie Phang Substack, to break down what’s happening at the Supreme Court, the Trump Administration’s assault on the Constitution, and how a lack of representation allows dehumanizing language and narratives to flourish. For the first time, Katie also shares her emotional decision to leave MSNBC after the network cancelled her show and sidelined so many hosts of color.
Give us a watch!
