Extremism and militarization of immigration enforcement, with Arturo Dominguez

CIA drones in Mexico, military at the border, fear-mongering about disease, denying asylum claims—Trump's extremist immigration policies are just getting started.

Legacy media is capitulating to Trump (just Google Jeff Bezos if you haven’t already heard). That’s why it’s important to support independent media like American Doom. The best way to support our work is through a paid subscription.

Last week, news came from Texas that an 11-year-old girl killed herself because her classmates were bullying her about being deported. She is a victim of Donald Trump and Republicans’ endless denigration of immigrants of all races, from all walks of life. May the memory of Jocelynn Rojo Carranza live on forever, and be a lesson to those of us who care enough about our fellow human beings to speak out against the ruthlessness and oppression we’re seeing from the White House.

One of those speaking truth to power when it comes to immigration is Arturo Dominguez, who runs the excellent Decolonized Journalism newsletter. In today’s edition of the American Doom Podcast, Arturo and I discuss the ways in which the Trump administration is essentially trying to stop all non-white immigration—including by military force, if necessary.
