Republicans in states across the South are moving fast to redraw voting maps after a Supreme Court ruling impacting redistricting and voting rights for millions. Mississippi Congressman Bennie Thompson's district has the largest percentage of Black voters in the country. Is his seat now at risk? He joins Victor to react to what this means for majority-minority districts like his.
Victor also covers several major stories, starting with Israel and Max Makoka, two brothers detained by ICE on their way to school who were later released after support from their conservative community in Diamondhead, Mississippi, along with their host mom Gail Baptiste. He also speaks with Kevin McCarthy about the shrinking number of Black Republicans in the House, as none of the current four members are running for re election, raising the possibility that there could be none by 2027. Later, Victor discusses the social media debate sparked by a teaser for “The Devil Wears Prada 2” involving an Asian character, and interviews journalist Lidia Terrazas about her reporting on Wilfredo, a 10 year old forced to represent himself in court to avoid deportation to a country he has never known. In the Art is Life segment, Victor highlights a trio of mariachi brothers who gained national attention after nearly two weeks in ICE custody and are now preparing to perform with Kacey Musgraves, sharing what the opportunity means to them.
