11:52Now PlayingThe Trump DOJ just opened a civil rights investigation into an elected local prosecutor, accusing him of giving sweetheart plea deals to undocumented immigrants while U.S. citizens got harsher treatment. Two former prosecutors, Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson and Florida Law Man Dave Aronberg, break down what the law actually says, what the evidence actually shows, and whether this is accountability or a political hit. They also examine key questions raised by the case, including the scope of federal authority over local prosecutorial discretion, the line between charging decisions and discrimination, and whether this could become a blueprint for targeting reform-minded prosecutors nationwide.
