Inequality in Sports Facilities Revealed

On today’s episode, Kai and Reema discuss the disturbing arrest of a Turkish national with a valid student visa at Tufts University and the effects these immigration detentions are having on political speech. Plus, WNBA team New York Liberty got a shiny, new training facility. (No, it’s not a spa!) And, another big oops for National Security Adviser Mike Waltz. You just can’t make this stuff up.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• “New York Liberty Unveil Practice Facility Amid WNBA’s Race to Attract Talent” from The New York Times
• “DoJ lawyers say detained Tufts student was sent to Louisiana before court order” by The Guardian
