Watch (or Listen): Immigration and Oil - How Trump Regime Inflicts Pain on Santa Barbara County
In a new Newsmakers TV episode, Nick Welsh updates the offshore oil pipeline scandal and Josh Molina breaks down a new blockbuster investigation of the sheriff's cooperation with ICE.
MAGA mouthpieces predictably responded to scenes of thousands of people across Santa Barbara County rallying and marching in protest of the mob-boss president by smearing the demonstrations as “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
To which Nick Welsh smartly responded: “If you’re not deranged, you’re not paying attention.”
On this week’s episode of Newsmakers TV, the Independent’s star columnist provides an update on one of the two most consequential ways the Trump regime is inflicting damage on the county — its reprobate ramming through of dodgy approvals for the rogue Texas oil company Sable Offshore to restart pumping through an antiquated and once-failed pipeline near Refugio State Beach.
Josh Molina returns to the program with new details of the second White House scheme — the administration’s brutal immigrant deportation campaign — as he breaks down a must-read blockbuster investigation at newspress.com that provides the most complete look yet at how Sheriff Bill Brown is cooperating with ICE roundups while paying lip service to California’s landmark sanctuary immigration law.
Plus: the Three Amigos reflect on the latest “No Kings” outpouring; discuss the failure of the county’s much-ballyhooed Project Labor Agreement law, ostensibly to ensure that local workers and contractors have first dibs on public works construction; and preview a new Faulkner Gallery exhibit highlighting 40 years of journalism by the Indy.
All this and more, right here, right now on Newsmakers TV.
