Dexter Filkins is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and staff writer at the New Yorker. He joins Preet to discuss his reporting on the southern border, where a record number of migrants are crossing into the US seeking asylum. The surge has overwhelmed federal, state, and city officials, posing a significant challenge for the Biden Administration.
Plus, what to make of judges consuming news relevant to their cases and the concerns over Judge Cannon delaying the trial in the Trump classified documents case.
