Substack Live with the ACLU’s Mike Zamore, Monday at 10 a.m. ET
It’s incredibly difficult to process the larger picture, the forest, when the trees are coming at you so fast. That’s been especially true for me with Trump’s mass deportation policy. It’s awful and profoundly inhumane. Even when technically lawful, it’s still awful.
The ACLU has done some work distilling the individual events and pulling larger meaning from them. Mike Zamore, the National Director of Policy & Government Affairs at the ACLU, joins us for a Substack Live Monday at 10 a.m. ET, to discuss the findings.
We’ll discuss how the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda is affecting civil liberties, checks and balances, and other core democratic safeguards, and we’ll focus on:
Use of federal agents and military troops for immigration enforcement in U.S. cities,
Targeting of immigrants’ rights protesters and noncitizen students for protected speech,
Mass revocation of visas and other forms of lawful status,
Expansion of executive power and instances in which the administration has challenged or defied court orders.
Our goal is to walk out of the conversation with a better way of assessing the totality of what this administration has done under the guise of immigration policy, making sure we understand the forest because we’re aware of all the trees in it, and what they mean.
There are a lot of reasons to vote in the midterm elections and to begin to prepare for 2028. Putting the brakes on what the Trump administration is doing here is a top one.
Join Mike and me Monday morning, and leave your questions for us in the chat.
We’re in this together,
Joyce
