Life as a Gringo

Trump Defies the Court, No Power In Puerto Rico (Thursday Trends)


Listen Later

What happens when power is ignored, abused, or taken back? In this episode, we break down the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a Maryland man sent to a Salvadoran mega-prison despite a court ruling protecting him—and the Trump administration’s outright refusal to comply with a Supreme Court order. Meanwhile, Puerto Rico faces yet another massive blackout, leaving millions without power and prompting artists like Bad Bunny to speak out. And at Coachella, Latino artists are showing up stronger than ever, reclaiming the spotlight on one of music’s biggest stages. From government defiance to cultural power moves, we explore what resistance looks like across courts, islands, and festival stages.
