‘Blatantly Unconstitutional’: Judge Strikes Down Trump’s Attack on Birthright Citizenship
‘America Unhinged’ Hosts Francesca and Wajahat talk Trump’s attack on immigrants, the Dems who voted for the draconian Laken Riley Act, and the growing threat to the transgender community.
Just four days into his second administration, Trump's plans have already hit some roadblocks.
On the latest episode of ‘America Unhinged’ on YouTube, Francesca Fiorentini and Wajahat Ali dive into Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, which is currently on hold after federal judge John Coughenour — a Reagan appointee! — today deemed it “blatantly unconstitutional.”
Our dynamic duo discuss the broader attacks against immigrants — from the Laken Riley Act to ICE raids at schools and churches — and share their own personal stories about what being the children of immigrants means to them.
But it’s not just immigrants that Trump and his MAGA base are targeting. Transgender communities are also under threat with Trump’s executive order aimed at “Defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government.” Yes, Donald Trump, the famous defender of women!

How long till calls for impeaching this and other judges are taken seriously?
I was left disappointed. Focused on symptoms and not the cause. The root cause of our nation’s and world’s woes is vulture capitalism. The oligarchs in the US now have free reign to create a feudal USA not unlike what already exists in the global South. Racism and especially white supremacy are the tools used to divide and defeat the masses/ soon to be mostly serfs, to facilitate creation of a feudal state with control of the majority white population through fear and anger. US immigration policy and territorial expansion has ALWAYS been rooted in capitalist empire and lubricated in white supremacy. Therefore, No surprise that 46 House Democrats and 12 Senate Democrats supported the Laken etc. Act. They are whores for the oligarch/corporate class and loyal and willing subjects of vulture capitalism - like the Democrat party in general. These are the same miscreants that support a genocidal and apartheid fascist Israeli state - Richie Torres, Fetterman and so on. Torres is especially worth highlighting because he’s an AIPAC loving Afro-Latino who thinks like many other BIPOC who voted for Trump/GOP politicians or support their white supremacist policies will get them closer to whiteness and get them a seat at the table - one they’ll never be welcomed to. Also AOC castigating Congress over discriminatory legislation rings hollow considering her cheerleading for Biden/Harris war criminals ticket. Profit over people is the cause - discrimination and racism are the tools and symptom.
