Episode notes
DHS Deal Masks Bigger Political Stakes
- Democrats rejected the White House DHS counterproposal for lacking stricter ICE oversight and use-of-force reforms.
- David Rothkopf warns the final deal will likely be inadequate and masks broader election suppression risks like the SAVE Act.
Voting Rules As Political Strategy
- The SAVE Act's proof-of-citizenship voting requirement could suppress turnout among low-resource voters.
- Rothkopf says Republicans push such measures because they fear losing House and Senate control.
Boat Strikes Flout Due Process
- The U.S. resumed deadly strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats, prompting international condemnation.
- Rothkopf argues the strikes violate due process and fail as policy, legally and morally.
