Maggie Daun memorializes Cecile Richards, a past president of Planned Parenthood (2008-2016), daughter of former Texas Governor Ann Richards, who passed today. Next, Maggie discussed the legal challenges filed today by at least 18 states against Trump's ban on birthright citizenship.
Maggie then turns her attention to the "Alien Enemies Act of 1798," which empowers the president to detain or deport individuals who are natives or citizens of enemy countries, effectively permitting the indefinite detention based on a person's nationality. It violates the 5th Amendment, the constitutional protection against indefinite civil detention, and our basic American value that we will not strip rights from groups but rather judge people based on their individual actions.
Maggie then takes on the J6 pardons - has Donald Trump just blessed roving mobs that may attack black and brown folks?
