Summary

Across the country, ICE detentions are growing more horrific and inhumane by the day. Families are being torn apart, people are disappearing into detention centers, and the silence from those in power is deafening. This morning, Don asks the hard questions: How far will this go, and what can we do about it? He’s joined by Rick Wilson, political consultant and co-founder of The Lincoln Project, and Katie Phang, lawyer, commentator, and former MSNBC host. Together, they break down the politics, the legality, and the moral crisis unfolding in real time. This episode is sponsored by Henson Shaving.
