He joins Victor to share his reaction to the dismantling of equity programs in government and corporate America. Cities across the country are dealing with residents who are anxious over plans for a ramp-up in immigration enforcement. Victor first speaks with Congresswoman Delia Ramirez. She is the daughter of immigrants, her husband is a DACA recipient, and she’s worried about her city of Chicago being a target of Trump’s mass deportation plans. Plus, Victor gets the latest from the Mayor of New Jersey, Ras Baraka, on a “raid” he says terrorized his constituents at a business – including U.S. citizens. Also, Victor reports on President Trump’s pardons for two officers convicted for their role in the death of a Black man and coverup of what happened. Amaala Jones-Bey, the mother of Karon Hylton-Brown's daughter, shares her reaction to the news – and possibility of the officers returning to their jobs.

    2025/01/11
    As Los Angeles grapples with the devastation of wildfires, Victor highlights the helpers, and the impact on lives that you likely haven’t heard about yet. There is a surprising number of inmates working as firefighters for little pay. A former member of the California program joins Victor to share what it takes to respond to fire emergencies. Plus, the chief of the Pechanga Fire Department shares with Victor what he’s been hearing from his crews assisting in Los Angeles, and the unique expertise California’s native tribes have to share. Many communities and families are forever changed by these fires. Victor speaks with a lifelong resident of Altadena, Zaire Calvin. Zaire lost his home and his sister, Evelyn McClendon, was killed. Zaire shares with Victor what it’s like dealing with that scale of loss, and what he hopes to see happen when it comes time to rebuild homes. And Victor speaks with a principal in Pasadena who opened up his school to help families in need. We’re also following a disturbing story out of Puerto Rico, where an alleged arson attack destroyed businesses over the New Year’s holiday and there hasn’t been an arrest. A property owner whose livelihood was impacted shares his emotional message to the alleged arsonist. And the son of the late Black nationalist leader Marcus Garvey joins Victor. Dr. Julius Garvey explains the action he wants President Biden to take for his father before he leaves office, and why the request has the backing of some lawmakers in Congress.
