Summary

In this powerful sit-down, Don Lemon is joined by political commentator and journalist Ahmed Baba to break down the latest chaos from the Trump administration. From targeting immigrants who are following the rules to deploying the military to American cities (against the will of state leaders) this presidency is veering deeper into authoritarian territory by the day. California said “no thanks,” but Trump sent the troops anyway. Immigrant families doing everything right? Still under attack. So what do we do now? Don and Ahmed cut through the noise, expose the dangerous overreach, and make one thing clear: it’s time to stand up. WE HAVE MERCH!!
