The Trump administration has begun its crackdown on immigrant communities in the United States, with the Department of Homeland Security announcing Tuesday it will allow federal agents to conduct raids at schools, houses of worship and hospitals, ending a yearslong policy that banned Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from arresting people at these sensitive locations. This comes a day after President Trump signed a series of executive orders that included declaring a "national emergency" at the southern border, launching mass raids and deportations, restricting federal funds from sanctuary cities, and claiming to end birthright citizenship, which is protected by the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. For more on the fight for immigrant rights, we speak with immigrant rights activists Ravi Ragbir and Amy Gottlieb and lawyer Alina Das. Ragbir received a last-minute pardon from outgoing President Joe Biden that removed the threat of deportation that he has faced for about two decades. "I feel so light and so free," Ragbir says, vowing to continue his advocacy for other people facing arrest and deportation.

During Donald Trump's inaugural address on Monday, he declared a national emergency at the southern border. On the first day back in office, Trump signed a number of executive orders on immigration that seek to end birthright citizenship and use military resources for Trump's border policies. "This is a massive abuse of emergency power," says Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice. "These emergency powers are intended to address sudden, unexpected crises … that are moving too quickly for Congress to be able to address. That is not unlawful immigration at the border. It is not sudden or unexpected, and it is something that Congress can and should be addressing through comprehensive immigration reform."

 Screenshot/Morning JoeIs Donald Trump "microdosing" like his new "Dark MAGA" best friend Elon Musk? The Daily Beast's chief content officer Joanna Coles thought as much during a Wednesday appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe following Trump's bizarre dancing at a town hall in Pennsylvania on Monday.
With South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem serving as moderator, Trump accused Democrats of being communists and fascists in his address with virtually no pushback.
"This is the most important election in the history of our country," said Trump, closing out the event by requesting that Village People's Y.M.C.A. be played—instead of taking more questions from the audience.

 David Muse/ ReutersFormer President Donald Trump told an all-female audience he was the "father of IVF" on Tuesday at a Fox News town hall in Georgia.
"Oh, I want to talk about IVF. I'm the father of IVF, so I want to hear this question," Trump said to a town hall attendee with a question about the procedure.
When asked what he would say to women who are concerned that Republican abortion bans will affect their ability to access IVF and other fertility treatments, Trump recalled his conversation with Alabama Sen. Katie Britt, whom he said explained the procedure to him.
