GOP Judge Compares Trump to Slave-Catcher in Ruling
Summary
Michael Popok reports on Senior Judge William Young (appointed by Ronald Reagan) delivering a blistering rebuke of the Trump Administration—calling actions by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Secretary of State Marco Rubio an “unconstitutional conspiracy” to violate the First Amendment rights of student and faculty protesters. In a stunning moment heading into MLK Jr. weekend, Judge Young compares the administration’s conduct to the recapture and re-enslavement of newly freed slaves.
