White House: Maryland man wrongly deported due to “administrative error”

An El Salvadorian man who’s been living in Maryland legally was deported to a prison in El Salvador due to claims he was part of a foreign gang.

Hosts Adam Gardiner and Leah Murray share updates on this story and give their thoughts on these hasty deportations.

You might be thinking, "wait, didn't the state already ban those things?" And you'd be correct -- it happened during the 2024 legislative session. But state school board member Christina Boggess says it's not happening -- Utah's schools have found other ways to keep DEI going, and she wants it to stop. We hear her argument from earlier today and fellow Utah School Board member Sarah Reale joins us to share her point of view on the resolution and the language used in the resolution comparing DEI to communism.
