First Of All with Victor Blackwell

Mayor of Newark Reacts to Arrest; DHS Claims Dems "Body Slammed" Ice Agents

Listen Later

The Trump administration narrative around the arrest of the Mayor of Newark takes a turn when a Department of Homeland Security official floats the possibility of arrest for members of congress who are accused of “body slamming” immigration agents. Victor speaks with the DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Tricia McLaughlin. And just hours after leaving custody, Mayor Ras Baraka responds to McLaughlin’s claims and his arrest.

 

Plus, a woman is confronted about hurling a racial slur at a Black child and the video goes viral. Days later, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised ... for the woman accused of using the N-word. The head of the NAACP in Rochester, Minnesota wants to see charges filed. And Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says hate is being normalized. Both he and Walé Elegbede join Victor to discuss.

 

And later, a conversation with Raymond C. Pierce of the Southern Education Foundation about the end of school desegregation orders as he prepares to take on the Trump administration in court.

 

And a special message to Ryan Coogler, Michael B. Jordan and the cast of “Sinners”.  Tyler Yarbrough and Clarksdale Mayor Chuck Espy join Victor to explain why the Mississippi city’s residents are asking for a special screening of the hit film.
