5.8.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: 1st American Pope, Trump targets ActBlue, Black war veteran detained by ICE, Patrick Lyola Mistrial

For the first time ever, a native son of Chicago has been elected leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics.  Reverend Dr. Michael Pfleger, Senior Pastor of Chicago's Faith Community of Saint Sabina, will join us in discussing what this historic election means for the Catholic Church and for the U.S.

President Trump is directly targeting Democratic fundraising giant ActBlue and promising a federal crackdown. The CEO will join us live in the studio to respond to the White House's latest move.

An Iraq War veteran, a Black immigrant who served this country for 30 years, is now behind bars in an Arizona ICE detention center. We'll hear a plea for justice from his wife and the founder of Black Deported Veterans of America.

And, we'll have reaction from Patrick Lyoya's family after a Michigan judge declares a mistrial in the case of the former police officer charged with his killing.
