MSNBC
About this episode

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Pushing legal limits. From arresting a judge, to defying court orders to return a man mistakenly deported, to rounding up foreign students, the Trump administration's immigration policy is undermining the rule of law and endangering the right to due process for everyone. Rep. Robert Garcia and Rep. Ayanna Pressley joined me to talk about their visits with those caught in the chaos.  Hitting Home. As Americans sour on the President's chaotic economic policies, top prosecutors from 12 states are suing him over his tariffs. I asked Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford why they call the tariffs an illegal tax hike. And, the Project 2025 Presidency.  Donald Trump has tried to distance himself from the right-wing blueprint. But David Graham of The Atlantic explains how the first 100 days of the Trump Presidency are right out of this playbook, and why there are still a few big plays up his sleeve.  All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”
