4:20 pm The Trump administration has turned immigration policy on its head and shown a remarkable disdain for following the law. Citizens and permanent residents returning from overseas trips have been harassed, and foreign students are being deported based on participation in demonstrations, and raids being made at farms, restaurants and even Home Depot parking lots. Imminent immigration attorney George Willy will discuss these topics and other developing immigration issues.

4:50 pm The overwhelming response by the Trump Administration to the protests in Los Angeles has been out of proportion with the size of the demonstrations and raises questions about the motivations and optics of the situation. We continue on with attorney George Willy totalk about the constitutional right to protest, why the government is trying to squash the demonstrations and if this is an abridgement of free speech.

5:20 pm Founded in 2020 in California, Americans4Hindus – or A4H - is a bi-partisan SuperPAC to promote the contribution of Hindus in American politics.

We turn to Dr Romesh Japra, who is visiting Houston this weekend for lectures with community leaders, totell us more about the organization.
