Summary

America’s constitutional crisis has arrived as President Trump ignores the Supreme Court’s order to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador and threatens to begin kidnapping American citizens without due process. Amid this turmoil, Harvard University is refusing to capitulate to the administration’s demands. Renowned actor David Oyelowo talks about his experience traveling to Selma, Alabama with Martin Luther King III and others to mark the 60th anniversary of a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights movement. Oyelowo’s latest project is the new series, “Government Cheese,” streaming now on AppleTV+.
