Trump’s National Security Memo Labels His Enemies as Terrorists, Orders Investigations

Interview with Chad Marlow, senior policy counsel with the ACLU, conducted by Scott Harris.

Chad Marlow takes a critical look at President Trump’s late September National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM-7) authorizing government-wide investigations into nonprofits, activists, and their donors and funders using vague and overbroad labels of “terrorism” and “conspiracy against rights.” He also explores what pro-democracy groups and state governments can do to protect groups and individuals’ right to dissent and free speech.
