Americans thwart Trump's immigrant prisons plan by making it too hard
About this episode
Rachel Maddow discusses how Americans are successfully pushing back against Trump's plan for a nationwide immigrant prison system.
The Trump administration "would prefer to do things that are easy," Rachel Maddow points out. And so, by making the implementation of a nationwide immigrant prison system not at all easy, and, in fact, quite hard, Americans pushing back against Trump's plan are winning, and Trump's prisons are not opening.
