  • Should the government be in the business of business?

    Should the government be in the business of business?
    Aug 27 2025

    What happens when the federal government owns part of a company?

    That’s one of MANY questions about federal policy right now, as the Trump Administration aggressively pushes for stakes — and oversight — of major private companies.


    This week, the White House announced it was taking a ten percent stake in the struggling technology giant Intel.

    Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says the administration is considering similar moves with other companies tied to the defense industry, too.

    Trump looks ready to turn the U.S. into a corporate stockholder. Should the government be in the business of … business?

  • Can Trump call the National Guard into Chicago too?

    Can Trump call the National Guard into Chicago too?
    Aug 26 2025
    For over two weeks, members of the National Guard have been walking the streets of Washington, D.C. -- alongside federal law enforcement and local police.

    President Trump has said there is a “crime emergency” in the nation’s capital -- and has openly hinted at taking similar actions in other Democratic-led cities like Chicago, New York and Baltimore.

    But while the president has unique authorities over the District of Columbia, federalizing the National Guard in U.S. states will require a higher legal standard.

    Georgetown University law professor Steve Vladeck breaks it down.

  • What a day in immigration court is like now

    What a day in immigration court is like now
    Aug 25 2025
    The Trump administration is deploying a new strategy to speed up deportations. Government lawyers are asking immigration judges to dismiss on-going cases. Then, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents arrest people as soon as they step out of the courtroom.


    The process is often chaotic. And for immigrants without legal status, it's also very risky.

    NPR immigration policy reporter Ximena Bustillo went to an immigration court in New York City to see how that process unfolds – and found herself experiencing some of the chaos firsthand.
