  • Omar Jadwat, staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union Immigrants’ Rights Project, discusses the legality of Donald Trump's proposal to track all Muslims who enter the U.S. and a previous iteration of this proposal implemented after 9/11, the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System.
  • Mark Lilla, professor of the humanities at Columbia University, visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation and author of The Shipwrecked Mind: On Political Reaction (New York Review Books, 2016), and Dr. George Yancy, professor of philosophy at Emory University and author of Look, A White!: Philosophical Essays on Whiteness, discuss the role of identity politics as a foundation for democratic politics in an ideological age.
