Trump’s Muslim Ban 2.0 and America’s First Drug Tsar

In this episode we discuss the Muslim Ban “2.0,” and the legal challenges have come up against it with Elica Vafaie, an attorney with the Asian Americans Advancing Justice/Asian Law Caucus and an expert on National Security and Civil Rights.

Then we hear from  Alexandra Chasin, author of the book Assassin of Youth: A Kaleidoscopic History of Harry J. Anslinger’s War on Drugs, about the infamous Federal Bureau of Narcotics Commissioner who has gone down in history as America’s first drug tsar.
