Listen Later

One family's legacy is closely tied to the Supreme Court ruling that just gave President Trump more power by restricting lower courts. Victor speaks with Norman Wong, the great-grandson of  the man whose case led to a landmark decision on birthright citizenship more than 100 years ago, Wong Kim Ark.

 

Plus, Florida's tribes are speaking out against construction of a migrant detention facility dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz". The Chairman of the Miccosukee Tribe, Talbert Cypress, joins Victor to explain why they’re so alarmed.

 

Legal expert Monique Pressley shares her analysis on the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial as it heads to a jury, along with her prediction on what the verdict may be.

 

And Victor speaks with U.S. Army Veteran Sae Joon Park on his decision to leave the country as President Trump’s immigration crackdown ramps up.

 

Later, Victor speaks with a family demanding answers from police in Alabama after the death of 18-year-old Jabari Peoples. They want to see video showing the officer-involved shooting. Jabari’s mother, sister and the family's attorney speak out.

 

And in this week’s “Art is Life,” Victor shares how Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive is highlighting Black history with a showcase of African American quilts despite federal funding cuts.
