World Leaders' Condemnations and the Rise of Dubious Deportations

This week, Brandon highlights the Trump administration's shameless audacity in pausing intelligence sharing with Ukraine and cutting off weapons and equipment. Brandon also reads the powerful statements by former Polish President and freedom fighter Lech Walesa and current French Senator Claude Malhuret as they call out Trump and America for turning its back on the world order it helped create and abandoning allies in favor of despots like Putin. Lastly, Brandon points to Trump's alarming, attempted deportations of permanent residents and visa holders and a disregard for due process and the rule of law as a sign of broader action to detain and deport those the government considers political enemies. Brandon ends on a note of optimism by relaying some inspirational words from government public servant Leslie Knope from PARKS AND REC.
