"The Beginning of Fascism": How Trump's Immigrant Crackdown Is Crushing Democracy

As immigrant rights protests spread to Chicago, we speak with Democratic Congressmember Delia Ramirez, who is the daughter of Guatemalan immigrants and married to a DACA recipient and recently called on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign. 

She responds to President Trump's threat to deploy troops in more major cities to quell protests. "What you are seeing is the beginning of fascism," says Ramirez. "For fascists, they select a public enemy. And today, it's an immigrant. … Tomorrow, it's anyone they find undesirable."
