Chicago Mayor Responds to Threats by Trump’s “Border Czar”

President-elect Trump’s “Border Czar” Tom Homan says the incoming administration’s “mass deportations” will begin in Chicago, and he’s threatening any state and local officials who stand in his way. The Mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, joins Victor to respond in his first national interview since Homan’s comments.   Plus, crack cocaine, made by cops, is a real thing that happened decades ago in Broward County. Victor speaks to the state attorney fighting to undo the convictions of people who got caught up in the sting by the Broward County Sheriff's Office.   Also this week, the Biden-Harris administration released the first national strategy to combat Islamophobia and anti-Arab American hate. But one influential advocacy group, The Council on American-Islamic Relations, says it’s “too little too late." The organization’s National Deputy Director joins Victor to explain.   Later, Victor speaks to an education expert about her concerns over a new study showing that diversity among teachers isn’t keeping up with diversity among students.   And visual artist Shinique Smith joins Victor to share her memories of collaborating with the acclaimed poet, activist and academic Nikki Giovanni who passed away this week at 81.
