We start with a major court rebuke, as a federal judge blocks Trump's use of the obscure "Alien Enemies Act" to deport Venezuelans, uncovering its dark history from 1798.

We play their voices and contrast them with the White House's dismissal of the scandal as a "hoax." This is more than just news; it's about power, justice, and whose lives are deemed important.
