About this episode

The Trump administration's crackdown on crime and illegal immigration is escalating. National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., are now carrying firearms, and President Trump is threatening to send them to other cities like Chicago and Baltimore. In immigration news, a case that has gripped national attention takes another twist. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man the Justice Department admitted they mistakenly deported to El Salvador, was briefly released from federal custody on Friday, only to land back in ICE custody this morning after a routine check-in. NBC News Legal Affairs Reporter Gary Grumbach joins host Yasmin Vossoughian to break it all down. And, baby, we were born to run. We're celebrating 50 years of Bruce Springsteen's legendary album Born to Run. Music journalist Peter Ames Carlin joins the pod to talk about the record that held the power to make or break the Boss’ career.
