Lost Debate

Maxwell Pardon, Tariff Wins, CECOT Prison

Listen Later

Ravi opens the show by diving into the latest headlines, from Trump's reluctance to rule out a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell to the latest attacks on FEMA and the US. dollar.

He then welcomes Gisela Salim-Peyer to the show to discuss her latest piece in The Atlantic, No One Was Supposed to Leave Alive. Gisela shares more about her investigation into El Salvador's mega-prison, where some individuals based in the U.S. have been sent without due process. Ravi and Gisela examine the legal gray zone CECOT operates in, the recent Venezuela-U.S. prisoner swap, and what it all reveals about the U.S. immigration system and authoritarianism abroad.
