targeting diversity, equity and inclusion programs. media organizations whose language he dislikes. law firms that worked with his opposition law schools, private colleges, and now permanent residents, like the case of mahmoud khalil, who is married to a u.s. citizen. >> who just. >> happens to be eight. >> months pregnant. joining us now, new york university law professor and msnbc legal analyst melissa murray. >> and murad. >> awad, president. >> and ceo. >> of the new york immigration coalition. what is he doing here? >> well, i think this is part. >> and parcel to donald trump's immigration. >> attacks. and what he's. >> trying to instill is even more fear. >> more panic, more. >> chaos in this moment to really push people further into the shadows and get people to quiet down, because he doesn't like people speaking up against. >> his horrific policies. >> and this is in alignment with his family separation policy. >> his. >> mass deportation agenda. >> and mahmoud. >> khalil, unfortunately, is part of he's not the first to be disappeared. but this is part and parcel to what ice does
4:04 pm
normally with people who have status and people who don't. so in this moment, it is. incredibly troubling that we're seeing the erosion of due process as quickly as we are. and it really makes people wonder, are we still living in a country that is a run on the rule of law and the us constitution? are people still entitled to due process or are people still entitled to civil liberties? i believe that we are a democracy and that we are. >> just help me understand something. >> does marco rubio have. >> the power. >> to. >> revoke a person's green card or legal status? >> so under the immigration laws, there are extreme circumstances where. someone's status can be reconsidered if they are aligned with, for example, a terrorist organization or an organization that's been designated a terrorist organization. it is not the case here that, mr. khalil, that there is any evidence that. >> he. >> is aligned with a terrorist organization or is part of a terrorist organization. >> so this sort. >> of goes back to the question
4:05 pm
of due process. >> yes. >> statuses can be revoked, but. >> typically when. >> that happens, there's an entire legal process that is followed. and what is surprising here, and alarming even, is that this is essentially the kind of strongman move that you've seen in other places where democracy has literally crumbled, places like pinochet's chile and things of that nature. this is not typically what we see in the united states, even in circumstances where we've had individuals whose statuses have been reconsidered and revoked. >> ron. >> you had. >> tom homan, trump's border czar, on fox, earlier this morning. >> i want. >> you. >> to take a listen to what he said. >> can you. >> deport a legal. >> immigrant? >> absolutely. we can. i mean, did he violate the terms of his visa? did he violate the terms of his residency here? you know, committing crimes, you know, attacking israeli students, locking down buildings, destroying property? absolutely. any resident alien who commits a
4:06 pm
crime is eligible for deportation. >> okay. >> a lot of that not substantiated. >> talk to me, though, about the precedent. >> that this all sets. >> well, first and foremost, mahmoud khalil has not been charged or convicted with any crime. his only crime is being an anti-war protester on his college campus. and this is tom homan, again, talking out of both sides of his mouth, saying they're going after criminals. but then also 41% of the people they've detained have no criminal history. this is a white supremacist agenda that we're seeing play out in real time here in this country. and everyone should be concerned across the u.s. about what this means for them, because if they can snatch up and disappear, a permanent resident in this country, that means that they can also do that to u.s. citizens. and that is something that every single person should be concerned about. so you have you have sort of this attack. >> on individuals. >> and then you. >> have. >> this attack. >> on institutions, including the fact that you have trump
4:07 pm
going after law firms. >> that have. >> done work for. >> democratic candidates. >> and there was some fear in the legal community that no. >> one. >> was going to come forth and want to actually work with defend perkins coie, simply because the risk to reward. ratio is off. there's new reporting today that williams. >> and connolly. >> has come forward. they're going to take this on. what does that tell you though. >> about the moment. >> we find ourselves in that? that's even a question. this is an administration that is moving swiftly to shut down any form of dissent and to delegitimize any avenues for dissent. this is a standard strong man move. universities are often places where critique dissent is fomented. you shut down the universities. you make it harder for them to operate. this retaliatory effort against columbia university is emblematic of that. you drive a wedge between the university populations, between the administration and the students. you shut down dissent in that way. you shut down dissent from law firms who might now be unwilling to uphold the rule of
4:08 pm
law by taking on clients who may be unpopular with this administration. you also then turn and begin critiquing, as this administration has already done, the courts, so that if there is an unfavorable ruling for this administration, then the courts themselves are now sites of delegitimization. so this is all very, very standard. we're just seeing it happen at an alarming rate of speed. and you are exactly right. every american should be troubled by this. this is not the sort of thing we typically see in the united states. if they can do this to a lawful permanent resident, they can do it to anyone, and they will. you should be troubled by it. there's also sort of i think this question in this moment with everyone of these challenges, how we stand up and do the right thing. the action network has now collected close to 1.5 million signatures. a man demanding the immediate release of khalil, the new york affiliate of the aclu, wrote ripping a student from their home, challenging their immigration status and detaining
4:09 pm
them solely based on political evidence. it's wild, right? so what do we do about it? >> well, this is a moment that everyone needs to stand up and start fighting back. take to the streets, call your congress members the how muted congress has been in responding to this trump agenda has been incredibly disingenuous for people who say that they're fighting for their constituents. where is that fight? bring it to the streets. bring it to the halls of congress. we need to see people taking up and actually stepping into their own power and understanding that being, you know, quiet or being scared is not going to help anyone. we need to step up in this moment. people should be signing petitions. they should be calling their congress members and specifically in this moment, demanding the release of mahmoud khalil because he has done absolutely nothing wrong for him to be in the situation that he is in. >> and you saw tish james came forward and said, this is deeply disturbing, deeply alarming. clearly, folks, still looking for more information. i guess what is just so rich, melissa,
4:10 pm
is this administration claims to be defenders of the first amendment. right? and so. you know where i'm going. no question needed. so the first amendment has many parts. this administration is very selective about the parts of the first amendment that it chooses to uphold. it loves the free exercise clause. it hates the establishment clause that prohibits the government from establishing a religion. it has real antipathy for the whole prospect of freedom of the press. as we have seen, there is already a conservative legal movement and project afoot to dismantle new york times versus sullivan, which is a 1960s decision that is the absolute bedrock of a free press and media that could hold elected officials to account. and they are also very dismissive of free speech when the speech is not aligned with their preferred speech. and that's typically not how we have done it in the united states. the whole idea of the first amendment is pluralism, fostering pluralism in religion, in speech, in ideas, and encouraging dissent,
4:11 pm
because dissent is the way by which we hold our leaders to account. it's what makes us a vibrant democracy rather than an obedient dictatorship. >> i think about. >> the waves that we have seen of immigration activism in this country, and the fact that i came up with that wave of immigrants that said, we're here and we're not afraid. right. and the backlash to now a generation growing up where they say, i am afraid and i am not sure that i can live in this country and boldly proclaim my place in this country because of the administration we live under. it is a whiplash not just in policy, but culturally, for these families and for these communities. >> yeah, we're seeing all time levels of fear in our communities across the city of new york, the state of new york in this country. but what we're also seeing is people actually stepping up in this moment, and they're fighting back and they're fighting for their friends, they're fighting for their families, and they're fighting for their communities.
4:12 pm
and that's what we need to keep doing. one person, a donald trump, and his minions, will not take us out. i think that's the piece. we will continue to persevere in this country. we have built it generation after generation, and we will continue to do that. and i often tell people who tell me, you know, they want to see america great again. i said, tell me a moment where america was at this, you know, great moment in time. and then they can't really refer back to a time period. but what they are at times referring back to is they want to see this country whiter, and they feel this threat of people of color in the country. and seeing 2042 when the majority of u.s. residents will be people of color, as a threat to them, as if that's something bad, it's great. our diversity is what makes us beautiful in this country, and that's what we need to continue to foster, right? >> melissa murray. thank you both so much for getting us started. up next, as doge ramps up its efforts to dismantle the federal government, everyday americans, they are fed up and they're showing up across this country, including at a fiery rally for democracy in texas

protests against doge and the trump agenda are getting louder, and demonstrations have erupted across the country. there's a protest at a tesla dealership in chicago that had a heavy police presence. in michigan, more than 10,000 people turned out for a rally with senator bernie sanders as part of his national fighting oligarchy tour, while senator elizabeth warren rallied a crowd of more than 3000. in texas. >> arnold and elon are bullies. >> yes. >> like bullies everywhere. >> donald and elon. >> are afraid of people who won't bend the knee. they are afraid of pushback. and we are here to push back. >> joining me now, senator elizabeth warren of massachusetts. senator, 3000 people in texas. it is not a midterm. it is not a presidential election. your sense of why they're showing up. >> look, people are. showing up
4:19 pm
because donald trump last tuesday night said that he's. >> doing. >> all the things he's doing because that's what the american. people have voted for. >> and i think people. >> are showing up to say, ma'am, we didn't vote for this. we didn't vote for elon musk, and we. didn't vote to take away nursing home care. >> from our seniors. >> we didn't vote. >> to undercut our. >> teachers, our students and our public schools. we didn't vote to say that little babies are not going to get access to. the health care that. >> they need. >> people all. >> over this country are saying, we. want a government that works for us, not just for a handful of billionaires. that's what this. rally was about. >> that's what. >> bernie's out there rallying around. and here's the best part. democrats are actually showing up to listen to people, to. >> rally with. >> people while republicans are hiding and being told by their leadership, don't go out. >> in public. >> don't have any town halls, because you might hear how much
4:20 pm
people don't like what. >> you're doing. >> i'll tell you what was not rallying today the stock market. can you explain, for those of us who may not be super invested in the market itself, why it matters as an indicator. >> so think of the stock market as a flashing light, at least for how investors. >> and economists. >> who are looking at kind of the long range economic trajectory that this country is on. so let's start out, donald trump said back when he was running for office, he would do one thing on day one, and that was lower prices for families. his words, not mine. so he's now been there. we're heading into our. eighth week. and what has he actually done? and the answer is nothing to lower prices. but he sure as heck has created a lot of economic chaos and things that will actually increase prices for families. so he's
4:21 pm
played red light. >> green light. >> with tariffs on again. >> off again with whether or not. >> we have. >> tariffs against canada. >> tariffs against mexico. >> he and his. co-president elon musk, have fired or attempted to fire because. >> most of this. >> is. not legal. thousands and thousands of people, people who keep. airplanes safe up in the air, people who test our drinking water to make sure it's okay to drink. thousands of veterans who work for the federal government and has basically tried to shut down a couple of agencies and shut down anyone that is. >> investigating any of elon. >> trump, elon musk's businesses. so that's what they've done and what the stock market in effect is flashing red over is that's not how you build a strong economy going forward. you create that kind of chaos. you try to lay off people. what
4:22 pm
happens is consumers start pulling back. they don't spend as much money. businesses say, whoa. >> i can't. >> invest there. i can't know if i can invest in that thing. is there going to be a tariff or not be a tariff? and the consequence of that is that you start having everyone pull in that contracts the. >> economy. >> and that means we're in real economic trouble. and that's where. >> donald trump and elon musk are. >> driving us. >> you also have this big vote tomorrow happening in the house, an effort to avert a government shutdown. and you've pointed out the fact that what we're watching today in 2025 is directly connected to decisions that republicans made in 2017 about who they wanted to give tax breaks out to, and who they think should bear the brunt of that. talk me through that. also, tell me, do you think that republicans are going to get seven votes in your chamber to carry this over the finish line? >> i don't think so. so let's talk about it this way. keep in
4:23 pm
mind what the real thrust of all of this is about. there is a giant fight going on in washington. it keeps playing out in different ways, but the basic fight is the republicans want to give about $4.6 trillion in tax giveaways to millionaires, billionaires and giant corporations. and how do they want to pay for it? they want to pay for it by taking a hunk out of the hides of seniors, of veterans, of little kids, of public schools. that's that's their plan. democrats say not on our watch. we are not doing that. and we're not going to help you do that. we're fighting back to say billionaires ought to be paying their fair share, and we need to invest in opportunity for everybody. and that. >> means. >> yeah, we continue to pay the money so that grandma can live
4:24 pm
in the nursing home. yeah, we continue to pay for the home health aide for your friend who has was in a serious accident and needs some help to be able to live independently. and we continue to invest in our public schools. >> we continue to. >> do the things that help this economy work and ultimately help bring down prices for american families. this is democrats versus republicans. this is who do you fight for? republicans will fit on a bumper sticker exactly what they're trying to do. billionaires win, families lose. democrats were fighting that. >> senator, it strikes me that in your remarks in texas, you talked about how this administration and particularly this president, are not keen on anyone who is not willing to bend the knee. you had your colleague, senator mark kelly, visiting ukraine over the weekend in response to that decision to visit one of our
4:25 pm
allies. elon musk called the senator, quote, a traitor. your thoughts on musk calling your colleague a retired astronaut, a retired u.s. navy captain, a traitor to this country. >> a man who has served honorably in our military, who has built his life around public service. and elon musk sits over there on his bags of money while he fires veterans, while he fires people across the workforce who are needed. elon musk has the nerve to call mark kelly a traitor. you know, the way i see this is elon. you better keep hiding behind those bags of money, because we know in america who really stands up for people, and that's mark kelly. this is elon and donald at their best. what they want more than anything else is they want everyone to bend the knee. they want everyone to bow down
4:26 pm
to them. they want everyone to say yes, yes, you are right. and what's happening now with mark kelly, with bernie, with me, but with people all across this country, regardless of who they voted for, people across this country saying, we don't want a king, we are not bending our knee to elon musk or to donald trump. we want you to follow the law. we want you to follow the constitution of the united states. we are here to stand up for each other and for an america that doesn't just work for billionaires, but an america that works for all of us. >> senator elizabeth warren, thank you so much for being with us. thank you. up next, elon musk and marco rubio seem to have put their differences aside in order to antagonize one of in order to antagonize one of our nato allies. we're ♪ i have type 2 diabetes, but i manage it well. ♪ ♪ it's a little pill with a big story to tell. ♪ ♪ i take once-daily jardiance... ♪

4:32 pm
limited ukraine's access to intelligence and cut off their supply of weapons. meanwhile, russia has increased its attacks on ukrainian cities, murdering innocent civilians, which trump sees as normal or what, quote, anybody else would do. it has taken the trump administration just weeks to unravel 75 year alliance with western europe. last week, members of the european union held a summit where they announced that france would consider extending its nuclear umbrella to european allies, that the european nations would increase production of arms to defend themselves and help prop up ukraine. most importantly, all of this would be done because the united states is no longer considered a reliable ally. on friday, polish prime minister donald tusk announced that his government is preparing to require every adult male to undergo large scale military training to more than double the size of the army in the event of a war with russia. joining me now, msnbc political analyst rick stengel, former undersecretary of state for public diplomacy and public

>> was the reaction do you think. about ice coming to knock on your front door. >> for president trump's first 100 days? alex wagner travels to the story to talk with people most impacted by the policies. >> were you. there on january? >> i was there. >> on january 6th. >> did it surprise you that you were fired, given how resolutely nonpartisan you have been? >> and for more in-depth reporting, follow her podcast. >> trumpland. >> with alex wagner. >> the measles outbreak in the united states continues to grow, with maryland the latest to confirm a case of the highly contagious virus. howard county resident tested positive for measles after returning from international travel, and may have exposed fellow passengers at dulles international airport in virginia. there are now more than 200 cases across more than
4:55 pm
a dozen states. most of those cases are among children who have not received the measles vaccine. that's according to the cdc. one death has been confirmed and another is under investigation in connection with the outbreak. joining me now, doctor adam ratner, director of the pediatric infectious disease unit at nyu langone hassenfeld children's hospital and author of booster shots the urgent lessons of measles and the uncertain future of children's health. i should note doctor ratner is here in a personal capacity. why are we seeing these cases? >> a couple of reasons. the you know, the easy answer to that is that measles was imported to a place where vaccine rates are low. that's the reason that we have an outbreak with second and third and fourth generations of spread in gaines county. the reason that we see some cases of measles in the us, despite a still a relatively high vaccination rate, is that there are places in the world where measles is circulating
4:56 pm
constantly, and we kind of always get some importation of measles. but if you have a population in the us that has a 95% vaccine rate, then you don't get those additional generations of spread. >> what is the tipping point were you as an infection infectious disease expert? consider this a crisis. >> so i think we're getting there. i'm very concerned about what's going on in west texas and new mexico. we now have hundreds of cases. we had a child die of measles in 2025. in the united states. that should never happen. we have had a measles vaccine that is safe and that works for 60 years. so i think that is indicative of a crisis. >> well, and then meanwhile, you have a newly confirmed secretary of hhs who is a vaccine skeptic and who is also providing answers that are not grounded in science. he has talked about fringe theories about prevention and treatments, npr points out.
4:57 pm
he emphasized treatment for measles, saying that vitamin a can dramatically reduce deaths from the disease. an interview with fox news on tuesday, he said texas doctors are giving steroids and cod liver oil to their measles patients and getting very, very good results. in his editorial, he said good nutrition is the best defense against most chronic and infectious illnesses. can you please just clarify for our viewers what the science actually says? >> sure. >> there is. >> a little kernel of truth in there about vitamin a, which is that we know that children who are malnourished and who have very low levels of vitamin a are at much higher risk of severe outcomes, including death from measles. and we know that vitamin a supplementation, certainly in those settings and possibly in settings like the united states, can decrease the risk of death. what vitamin a does not do is prevent measles spread, and taking vitamin a in order to prevent measles is a mistake. it doesn't work. people who are taking vitamin a can still get measles. they can
4:58 pm
still get extremely sick from measles. the only way to prevent measles is by getting the measles mumps rubella vaccine. >> this also comes at a time when you have this administration making cuts to programs that are meant to tackle infectious disease in other countries, and i think it's really easy to see that as something that's happening over there. when you would think after covid, we would finally have understood that there is no over there. there is just here and everywhere. how does that make america less safe? >> it makes us really less safe in in the very near future, i think. and it's not just measles. i mean, measles circulates, you know, in many other countries. and the less that the united states contributes to vaccination programs, the more measles spreads, the more importations we will have. and as our vaccination rates drop, which they are doing, we will have more things that look like west texas. but even beyond that, you know, we have an ebola virus
4:59 pm
outbreak. we have a marburg outbreak in different african countries. like there are things going on in the world that need our help. and the us and the funding from usaid is indispensable for this. and we are cutting back on surveillance, on testing, on containment of things that we really need to contain. and that all, even though it's happening over there, makes us less safe. >> i want to talk about what is within our control, and that is the choices that we make for our children and for ourselves. so if your child or your grandchild has followed a proper protocol, they should be vaccinated for the measles. >> yes, absolutely. so the routine vaccination schedule in the united states is two doses of measles, mumps, rubella vaccine, first dose between 12 and 15 months, second dose between 4 and 6 years. >> and for those of us who were given this vaccine when it was only one shot, what are we supposed to do? >> so the answer is it's a complicated answer. and it depends. for people who are
5:00 pm
vaccinated. back in the 60s, when we were using two versions of the measles vaccine, one of which didn't work as well as the other, it makes sense for them to either see if they have the records, but most people don't, and then probably get vaccinated. for most people who aren't in a high risk situation, meaning not in west texas now, not traveling internationally, you're fine with the one dose, but if you're in a high risk situation, or if we start seeing more of these outbreaks, then getting a second dose. if you're one of those people and i am two who who got a single dose in childhood. >> that's very kind of you. not to say if you are old like we are, then please, i got to go call my pediatrician out of retirement. doctor adam ratner, thank you so much for being with >> thanks for having me. >> that is all for this hour. i'm alicia menendez. i'm going to see you again tomorrow night at seven eastern inside with jen psaki. starts now.
