In this episode of Good Skews, Producer Matt sits down with researcher Zachary Mueller to unpack the roots, rise, and current unraveling of Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda. They explore how white nationalist ideology, spearheaded by figures like Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon, has shaped U.S. immigration policy—from the Tea Party era to today’s alarming use of military force and detention infrastructure.
