episode Warning flags about the Trump administration and alleged corruption cover

Beskrivelse

In recent days, the news has been filled with some eyebrow-raising choices by the Trump administration. Like the disclosure of thousands of stock trades, being granted immunity from IRS audits, and the DOJ's nearly $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund. These actions have raised questions from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers.  Michael Waldman, president and CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice, a non-partisan legal think tank, says these actions amount to "corruption in plain sight."  For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org [http://plus.npr.org/].  Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

A New Jersey immigration detention center on edge. What comes next?

A New Jersey immigration facility is the latest hot spot for protests against Trump's immigration policy. What's happening inside, and could the situation outside worsen? The Delaney Hall Detention Facility has been the site of intense protests since last month, and they’ve become increasingly violent in recent days. Family members of detainees say a hunger and labor strike has begun inside the prison, over poor living conditions and alleged human rights violations. To control the tension outside, Newark’s mayor issued an indefinite curfew around the facility. Mayor Ras Baraka joined NPR to talk about the curfew and where things go from here.
