I joined @morningmika and @WillieGeist on @Morning_Joe to preview the show and our visit to Long Beach, where despite vaccine challenges elsewhere in L.A., @RobertGarcia is prioritizing teachers and other essential workers. His constituents are thrilled.
Also stopped by @3rdHourTODAY to see my pals @SheinelleJones and @DylanDreyerNBC. I showed them the tour @LAFDChief gave me of Dodger Stadium — one of the biggest vaccination sites in the country — where we talked about difficulties getting shots in arms.
In this episode we'll look at how L.A.'s great preexisting condition, inequality, has left many at increased risk during COVID -- including undocumented residents, unhoused people and front-line workers. Hope you'll watch at 10PM ET tonight on @peacockTV and on-demand after that.
Thank you, @KatyTurNBC. Something tells me you will be watching on demand after our premiere tonight. Luckily, @peacockTV makes it easy -- and free.
Thank you for having me, @ZerlinaMaxwell, to talk about the show. Stoked to be a part of the @peacockTV family.
Thanks @chrislhayes for having me tonight. “Street Level U.S.A.” — and our first special report about Los Angeles’ COVID crisis — premieres at 10PM ET on The Choice, only on @peacockTV, and will be on demand after that. #inners
Here's info on how you can stream the show for free right now:
President Biden will sign immigration-related executive orders, including one he promised during the campaign to create a family separation reunification task force, at 5PM ET Tuesday in the Oval Office with VP Harris present, according to the White House.
A senior administration official said the task force will be responsible for "identifying all minor children that were separated from their parents or legal guardians at the U.S.-Mexico border due to Trump's 'zero tolerance' policy." nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
I asked whether those separated before “zero tolerance” would be eligible for reunification. SAO said task force would consider families separated under pilot, evaluating on "individual basis” for “preference of the family” and “well-being of children." nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
NEW: Biden family separation task force will cover all families separated at the border under Trump, not just those separated during "zero tolerance,” according to three sources familiar with planning discussions. With @JuliaEAinsley and @GeoffRBennett. nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1…
During his presidential campaign, Biden ran ads promising to establish a task force to reunite separated migrant families "on his first day as president." The announcement had been expected this week but will likely be delayed. nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1…
When the task force is announced, it is expected to be an inter-agency effort across DHS, HHS and State, led by Biden's pick to run DHS, @AliMayorkas, according to three sources familiar with the planning. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
Come to think of it, there should be an app for news people who want to do clothing swaps. I am like Doug of Nickelodeon fame, wearing the same thing over and over. In this case, I just left my tie on their stroller one day.
I, of course, would request a pair of the Kornacki khakis.
Deterrence and punishment is how the American immigration enforcement system was designed to work, as @AliciaMenendez and I discussed Saturday night. Rolling back Trump’s policies alone will not stop that.
This excellent @nytopinion piece from @jeanguerre makes that clear, and asks a critical question about what President Biden can and should do for families whose lives were upended before Trump separations put immigration enforcement in a massive spotlight. nytimes.com/2021/01/23/opi…
Another must-read: @FelipeDLH argues that President Biden's proposed "virtual" border controls should receive as much scrutiny, if not more, than Trump's "big, beautiful" steel bollards. thenation.com/article/politi…
