Description

This week, Trump said he’s considering sending migrants to sanctuary cities. Maria and Julio are joined by two All-Stars, Jenni Monet, independent journalist and tribal member of the Pueblo of Laguna, and Brentin Mock, staff writer for City Lab, to discuss Trump's latest use of immigrants as political pawns. They also talk about the burning of three black churches in Louisiana, the latest attacks on Rep. Ilhan Omar, and how the U.S. justice system impacts people of color.
