00:01
Donald Trump's first week as president has been as long as his
00:04
criminal record. It's been exhausting,
00:06
but let's break down what's happened so far.
00:09
Let's Trump has ordered the opening of a migrant detention center at
00:12
Guantanamo Bay to house 30,000 migrants.
00:15
He even said some of them are so bad we don't even
00:18
trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming
00:22
back. Wells Dixon of the Center for Constitutional Rights warned.
00:25
That this initiative costs billions if not trillions of dollars.
00:29
He also pointed out that every time an airplane lands at Guantanamo
00:32
it costs over $100,000.
00:35
Additionally, at a press briefing,
00:36
the Trump administration went as far as to declare that all immigrants
00:41
are criminals. If you are an individual,
00:43
a foreign national who illegally enters the United States of America,
00:47
you are by definition a criminal,
00:49
and so therefore you are subject to deportation.
00:54
I got really scared.
00:56
Yeah. This statement came right before Trump passed the Lake and
01:00
Riley Act, which mandates the detention of undocumented immigrants accused of
01:06
crimes such as theft,
01:07
burglary, assaulting a law enforcement officer,
01:10
or any offense causing.
01:12
Death or serious injury.
01:13
The law is named after a Georgia nursing student who was tragically
01:17
killed. This law actively demonizes the immigrant community and allows authorities
01:21
to detain anyone accused of shoplifting without bail or a bond hearing
01:26
Accused. Welcome to week one and we're just getting started
01:30
Another major shift with President Trump's executive order aiming to end
01:34
birthright citizenship in the United States directly challenging the 14th Amendment in
01:40
the United States Constitution.
01:43
The move has sparked legal battles with 22 Democratic-led states filing lawsuits
01:48
A federal judge in Seattle called the order blatantly unconstitutional,
01:51
temporarily halting it for now.
01:53
Let's not forget his first act as president with an executive order
01:57
that was signed to officially recognize only two genders,
02:00
male and female, across all federal agencies.
02:03
This order also mandates the dismantling of diversity,
02:06
equity and inclusion programs within the federal government.
02:09
This. into the tragedy at Reagan Airport,
02:12
where a US Army Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines
02:16
regional jet, resulting in 64 lives lost.
02:19
While experts cautioned against premature conclusions,
02:23
President Trump placed the blame squarely on DEI.
02:27
President, you have today blamed the diversity elements but then told
02:32
us that you weren't sure that the made any mistakes.
02:37
That's why I'm trying to figure out how you can come to
02:39
the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this
02:43
crash. Because I have common sense.
02:46
just days before this tragedy unfolded before our eyes,
02:49
Trump had fired key several figures within TSA,
02:52
the Coast Guard, and the Aviation Advisory Committee.
02:55
They received a memo that this was a commitment to eliminating the
02:57
misuse of resources, which is now raising serious questions about leaders
03:02
accountability and safety.
03:03
So welcome to episode 1 of Trump season 2.
03:07
If you're feeling pissed,
03:10
be outspoken. Now is not the time to stay quiet.
03:14
Yeah, prank calls have even shut down the ice hotline,
03:17
so there are ways to get crafty.
03:19
Use your voice, mi gente.
03:21
Stay crafty, stay creative,
03:22
but please stay safe and protect your people.
03:25
Protect our people. This has been La Vota.
