Rep. Chellie Pingree
(D) Maine
Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year-old husband and father who reportedly possessed a Social Security number and the legal right to work in the U.S., was fatally shot by federal immigration agents on the street in Maine on Monday. Guerrero reportedly was not even the target of the immigration raid. The Department of Homeland Security says an ICE officer opened fire, "fearing for public safety," after approaching Guerrero's car. The department has not provided details of the supposed threat. Guerrero is the fourth person to be fatally shot by ICE agents since the first of the year. The number includes a Mexican man killed during a traffic stop in Texas last week. Seven other people have also been shot, though not fatally, as the Trump administration presses ahead with its immigration crackdown. The surge of violence is igniting anger at the President's agenda and the apparent lack of accountability for ICE agents. Maine Democratic Congresswoman Chellie Pingree joins the show from Washington, D.C. to discuss.
Rachel Goodman
Free Expression Special Counsel, Protect Democracy
In a move that critics are calling a "power grab," President Trump has fired the last remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission, a bipartisan federal agency that helps state and local officials run elections and certify voting equipment. It's part of a broader campaign by the Trump administration that includes attempts to redistrict voter registration and limit mail-in ballots. All this is happening just months before the November midterm elections. Rachel Goodman is Special Counsel and Program Lead at Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan nonprofit "dedicated to defeating the authoritarian threat." Goodman joins the show from New York.
REPORT: ANTISEMITISM IN THE U.K.
In the U.K., a recent string of attacks targeting the Jewish community has left many fearing for their safety. The British government has just announced additional police protection, including extra patrols in predominantly Jewish neighborhoods. Correspondent Jomana Karadsheh spent the day with a specialized unit in London's Met Police to learn about the strategy for tackling antisemitism. Please note that viewers may find some of the footage disturbing.
Jocelyn Kiley
Director of Research, Pew Research Center
The midterm elections are coming up in the U.S. at a time when partisan divides feels more extreme than ever. Americans normally face one of two choices at the ballot box: Democrat or Republican. But a new Pew Research Center report says that most voters feel their political and cultural identities are not aligned with the two major parties. Jocelyn Kiley is a Director of Research at the organization. She tells Hari Sreenivasan that the real political scene in America is far more nuanced.
