A U.S. veteran in Arizona is facing deportation after being detained by immigration enforcement a month ago. That’s according to his wife, Tanisha Hartwell-Parris, who joins Victor from outside the facility where Marlon Parris is being held to explain what happened.

 

Plus, Victor speaks with the President and CEO of the NAACP. Derrick Johnson reacts to an early legal victory against the Trump Administration's effort to end DEI initiatives, and the shuttering of a database that was meant to track police misconduct.

 

In Maryland, a parade honoring Frederick Douglass is cancelled after the state's national guard said they can't attend. Victor speaks with Tarence Bailey Sr., the 5x great nephew of Frederick Douglass, about the reason why, which is outraging the Douglass family.

 

For the first time in 25 years, a new soap opera is coming to daytime TV! It's the first hour-long soap opera to be centered around a wealthy, Black family. Victor visits the set and speaks with the stars of “Beyond the Gates”.
