attorney general bob ferguson, welcome to democracy now! about the significance of the hearing that took place yesterday and why you jumped so quickly into action to challenge the travel ban the president trump wanted to impose. >> you bet. first, thank you so much for having me on. yesterday's hearing was really an extension that goes back to our challenge to the original travel ban. it touches on core constitutional issues such as the limits of presidential power. to answer your question about why we moved so quickly, the president signed the original travel ban on a friday evening. my team, we worked all weekend. by monday afternoon, we filed in federal court. by the friday, had it struck down. we worked so hard because we knew every hour mattered. folks were being turned away at every airport. the team fell shrum the we had to move as quickly as we could because the executive order, frankly, was so overbroad and unconstitutional. amy: is it true that you landed into the mass protest that was taking place -- welcome all over the country

ferguson is the neatest parallel. going bag to question of exploitation. the police department is ex-tracktive and you happen e-mails between the city manager and the sheriff and police in which they talk about policing as a revenue function. >> host: this came out in the doj report. >> guest: they're talking about we need to get your new enforcement zone up to prime the revenue pipeline, you need to go out and start writing more traffic tickets to get that traffic difficult revenue for make our budget. and this is a zero sum game. they are instead of doing things like raising property taxes they're jacking up enforcement of traffic violations to distract extract revenue to pay for cos to save them the political pain and wallet pain of raisings taxes. so you have -- the report is very clear and the statements of the authorities themselves in their e-mails -- they talk bit openly -- fundamentally the department's goal is to produce revenue for the municipality and not just through traffic enforce: they have an insane s

i think they probably would. >> one of the things in the book you say ferguson was kind of hissen in plain sight can you give a specific example of something that really kind of moved you while you were reporting there or o like angered you or that -- would you be like i need to write this book to explain what's going on and make this not hidden anymore? >> i had this experience where i went down there and i would just be talking to people all day. what i found was that i could do this on air and on air and live tv program take my microphone and two african-american resident of ferguson and say, tell me about your transition to coen story after story and you can tell when people are -- like telling the truth about traumatic things when they're like this was just people just telling me stories that -- were shocking, i mean, the state senator who tells a story about like -- it in high school a fire truck was at i forget if it was a street fair you know sometimes fire trucks are around and a fire then invited her to sit in the fire truck like iconic part of being a kid and a police offi

ferguson. a couple of questions. idea.k he posed a great as far as health care, i was wondering, i know we are paying for health care for the 23 million illegal immigrants that come in anyway. alsocurious, are we paying for the hb one visa people? i never hurt anybody talk about it too much. those millions of people that are not paying in, if they were not there, there would not be as much of a problem as there is. guest: i would say this, you and i would share that the benefits of being an american and the programs we have here are for american citizens. we should reserve those rights for those citizens. folks that are not here on a legal status, i don't think should have access to the programs that are designed to protect our most vulnerable citizens. host: that speaks to your first piece of legislation that you introduced. the tax loophole. sawt: one of the things we was this loophole in the tax code that allowed for aimless and individuals that are desperate for families and individuals that are applying for a ta

he is #ferguson's hero. for those of us tear-gassed, he was our local champion. rip" crawford died in his car from a gunshot wound on thursday. his father has rejected the police's initial claims that the death was a suicide. he is the third ferguson protester to have been found shot dead inside their own cars since the uprising. and those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. nermeen: and i'm nermeen shaikh. welcome to all of our listeners and viewers from around the country and around the world. president trump has set off a political firestorm after firing fbi director james comey just weeks after comey confirmed the fbi was investigating whether trump's campaign collaborated with russia to sway the 2016 election. comey was four years into a 10-year term.

but something about that in this place held many other ferguson are there? and we only have it because michael brown was shot and killed the was a protest. and they undertook that comprehensive investigation. we'll be shined a flashlight at random and if it went to some other place like milwaukee county they probably would. >> host: if you say ferguson was hidden in place in sight is is something that moved two or eight year deal?. >> i would be talking to people all day on an air with a live tv program. you can tell of people are telling the truth people just tell stories that were shocking in that state senator in high-school a fire truck that was a street fair ended -- a fiery and invited her to set in the truck and a police officer pulled the gun on her. it was like the class valedictorian and was like the mother pulled over then they have launder criminal records to talk about harassment would the edward and it was boom boom boom story after story after story and what is so important about that, it is a third-party confirmation the truth of what all tho

i was in ferguson from the beginning when the family called.n we were demanding the doj come in and went to washington and helped to meet about that, we had no idea about what was later uncovered about the predatory part of making money. so it's really a good question that you raise, and the term you use of colony, how many type colony situations are like that everywhere? it's not just the issue of is somebody being shot. but a systemic kind of predator policy that's there. >> as the doj they found in the report use of the police department fundamentally is a source of -- >> practice in pattern that they found, now you have an attorney general saying i don't want to do consent decrees which are based on patterns and practice. consent decrees is not just those of us that come in and march. that's an investigation in finding a pattern. >> and it's a america anymore of accountability for police departments that don't have other mechanisms of accountability. no one was bringing the ferguson department to heel before the do doj came in. in big citie

what some call the ferguson effect. a 17 year vet rap of the chicago police department says she knew she should have pulled her gun high on man on pcb a was beating her because she didn't want her family or the department to face the fire storm that would have come next. that is the example used by the fbi to highlight the growing trend called defeliceing in the wake of what happened in ferguson, miss sorry. after the death of 18 year old michael brown and the intense media scrutiny that follow, departments and individual officers have increasingly made the conscious decision to stop engaging in proactive policing. it looks like we're getting reporting across the country that police are less inclined to do that fearing that they will become subject of the next viral video. sessions said when speaking back in march. amid this intense public scrutiny and krits many s, morale has gone down while the murder of police officers killed in the line of of duty has gone up. last year 64 officers were shot and killed in the line o
