David French warns MAGA policies are eroding freedoms for citizens and non-citizens
In a weekend podcast, David French argues that MAGA-aligned actions are curtailing constitutional rights for both Americans and immigrants, citing cases from Haiti to Iran.
David French used his latest podcast appearance to criticize the MAGA movement for undermining the freedoms the Founders intended to extend to all people on U.S. soil, regardless of citizenship. He accused Senator Marco Rubio of using dubious powers to create a new class of immigrant detainees and highlighted Department of Homeland Security officials who praised the aggressive shackling of Haitians granted protected status.
French also noted that President Donald Trump remains unpunished for his illegal ballroom construction, and he discussed the split among Texas Republicans over the Paxton versus Talarico dispute. The host warned of legal uncertainties that could arise after the November vote count, referenced the 150-day detention of Iranian green-card holders, and mentioned a recent LSU court decision ahead of its football game against Clemson. Throughout, he framed these developments as evidence that MAGA policies are shrinking liberty for both citizens and non-citizens.
