Senator Alex Padilla on Confronting Presidential Corruption and ICE
About this episode
After recent revelations that President Trump took in more that $2.2 billion during his first year back in the White House, we talk to Democratic Senator Alex Padilla about his new anti-corruption initiative to address Trump’s alleged self-dealing and its costs to taxpayers. We’ll also ask Padilla about the historically high number of deaths in ICE detention, calls for increased oversight and transparency and what he believes must change as immigration detention continues to expand.
