Maddow: Trump in retreat as disastrous anti-immigrant campaign becomes political catastrophe

Donald Trump's anti-immigrant mission was already damaging his standing with the portion of Americans who didn't already dislike him, but the escalating violence and brutality and shocking on-camera killings have seen his opposition balloon from Americans protesting to a large swath of his own party, business leaders, clergy and Congress. Rachel Maddow outlines how the forces of democracy are imposing themselves on Trump.

Rachel Maddow points out the consistent, unrelenting, stalwart, peaceful opposition of the people of Minnesota to Donald Trump's brutal anti-immigrant tactics, flexing every democratic muscle, is steadily defeating Trump. The people of Minneapolis are showing that the way to save democracy is by democratic means, including peaceful protest.

Rachel Maddow reports on the expanding list of communities that are refusing the admit the Department of Homeland Security to install an immigration prison or processing facility in their area. Even across differences of politics and demographics, no one wants to be host to an immigration prison.
