Trump’s target, Ukraine kids kidnapped by Russia, sorority rush stress | CUOMO Full Episode 8/12

President Donald Trump’s crackdown on crime and homelessness in Washington, D.C., is officially underway, and many are wondering which cities are next. Guest host Jesse Weber checks in with NewsNation correspondents Joe Khalil in D.C. and Alex Caprariello in Chicago to see how Day 1 went and how Chicago is bracing for what’s to come.

Is a takeover the right move? Ronna McDaniel, Washington, D.C. resident and former Republican National Committee chair, debates former Charlottesville, Virginia, police Chief RaShall Brackney.

This week’s high-stakes meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will not include Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but Ukraine’s president is trying to prevent any false perceptions of a desire for peace beforehand by meeting with international media. NewsNation correspondent Robert Sherman gives the latest details live from Kyiv.

Zelenskyy is pushing for the release of up to 35,000 Ukrainian children who were kidnapped and smuggled into Russia, where they were forced into adoptions against their will, which is considered a war crime by many international observers. The executive director of Yale's Humanitarian Research Lab, Nathaniel Raymond, who has been investigating these cases for years, and Russian opposition politician and former political prisoner Vladimir Kara-murza join Weber with the shocking details.

Has Trump greenlit a secret military invasion of Mexico to fight drug cartels, despite objections from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum? Jack Riley, former DEA deputy administrator who oversaw the capture of El Chapo, and Vanda Felbab-Brown, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, debate.

Then, countless young women across the country will take part in sorority rush week in the next month, hoping for bids from their dream houses — but it’s become a big business, with even bigger anxiety for the students. Has it all gone too far? Two rush coaches featured on Lifetime's "A Sorority Mom's Guide to Rush!" and University of Alabama senior Morgan Cadenhead — who went through rush twice and went viral after she was rejected twice — join NewsNation as thousands of students face the intense, high-pressure sorority rush process.
