About this episode
Sen. Andy Kim shares his observations from a visit to Delaney Hall, where detainees report poor conditions amid protests, while political tensions regarding Iran are discussed.
Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) visited immigrants detained at Delaney Hall in Newark, N.J. Some detainees are alleging poor conditions and outside, protestors are clashing with police. Kim joins us to share what he saw inside the center. And, on Wednesday night, four Republican voted with House Democrats to limit President Trump's ability to wage war in Iran, exposing a rift between Trump and his own party. Axios congressional reporter Kate Santaliz explains how other votes Thursday could further expand that rift. Then, Iranian French author Marjane Satrapi, known for her "Persepolis" series of graphic novels, has died at age 56. We revisit her 2008 conversation with host Robin Young.
