Tariffs: The Week After. 

President Trump announced a series of sweeping tariffs and a trade war with every country. US stocks are plunging amid fears of a recession. How soon will prices of goods rise? Who will be hit the hardest?

Guest: TBA.

Oscar Arias’ Visa Revoked. Former Costa Rica President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Oscar Arias said the US government revoked his visa. While no explanation was given, he said he won’t be silenced. Arias is known as a critic of Trump’s policies.

Guest: TBA.

The Feared Salvadoran “Mega-Prison.” As the US admitted making mistakes on deportations, authorities continue sending immigrants to a Salvadoran “mega-prison” that was built as part of the crackdown against gangs. Who’s being sent there? What’s known about the incarceration conditions? What’s known about the business deal?

Guest: Leonel Herrera, ARPA, San Salvador, El Salvador (TBC).

Protecting School Campuses. In response to growing fear among immigrant families, California’s top education official introduced a state bill that will limit the presence of ICE agents on school campuses. He also advocated for the expansion of Dual Language Immersion programs across California as resources that will be key to prepare students to succeed, compete, and lead in a multilingual, global economy.

Guest: Tony Thurmond, California State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Sacramento, CA (TBC).

Challenging Trump’s Order on Voting. About 20 states sued President Trump’s attempt to reshape elections across the US, calling it an unconstitutional invasion of states’ clear authority to run their own elections. The lawsuit, the fourth against the executive order, seeks to block new requirements that people provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote and a demand that all mail ballots be received by Election Day, and others.

Guests: TBA.
