Working Families Party Slams Trump’s Policies: “It’s a Reality TV Show”

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem participated in a raid alongside Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents last week, targeting three locations in New York City—two in the Bronx and one in Manhattan.

At the same time, the Trump administration attempted to impose a funding freeze on various federal grants and loans. However, a federal judge intervened, blocking the measure.

Jason Dole spoke with Jasmine Gripper, co-director of the New York Working Families Party, to discuss the implications of Trump’s policies and to reflect on his early days in office.
