In this first episode of our new series Deportation Nation, Darren Watts dives into the basics of deportations — what they are, why they happen, and the real history behind them.
He exposes how Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign promises escalated into an autocratic nightmare, using centuries-old laws to justify mass deportations and targeting vulnerable communities.
This isn’t just about immigration — it’s about democracy itself.
Through facts, historical context, and bold truth-telling, Darren breaks down the danger of unchecked power and why understanding immigration policy is critical to protecting American values.
