Yvette Borja interviews Monica Hopkins, the Executive Director of the ACLU-D.C. about Trump's deployment of D.C.'s National Guard to respond to a manufactured emergency. They discuss how D.C. is the canary in the coal mine for future militarization of liberal cities, how D.C. not being a state allows for over-involvement from Congress and the executive, and the racist history that informs why D.C. residents aren't given the full power of the vote.
