That's a little over eight thousand votes adams who'd be the city second. Black mayor ran to the right of his party. Promising to tackle crime. He's also known for supporting charter schools.

Of my when i was a reporter on issue so within the police department and and wage the valiant fightback in those days against racism and police abuse within the department became increasingly conservative as it became a politician.

Is police department standing down in response to the massive public criticism around the country and and more and more guns being funneled into a black and brown communities and adams then was able to capture the majority of the democratic electorate in the primary as a result of the concern that The defunding police movement had got was going too far and that they that the voters especially in the black and brown communities overwhelmingly supported him.

Anchor lester holt. So this whole this whole this whole thing about the border. We've been to the border. We've been to the border the border and i haven't been to europe and i don't. I don't understand the point that you're making. this comes. A damning new investigation by reveal examines. What happens to migrant children who arrive at the mexico border and are placed in the custody of the office of refugee resettlement or or are and held in federally. Funded shelters reveal found. More than eighty. Children were turned over from the shelters to local law enforcement when they engaged behavior common for kids. Especially those who've been through trauma. Many were arrested for fading breaking property or mental health crises in one case revealed tractable oi who left honduras to seek asylum in the us. A shelter in san antonio texas when staff there called nine one one to report broken some bins and bedframes bodycam footage obtained by reveal shows. Bekcer county sheriff deputy tasting the sixteen year old a warning. The video is disturbing. But the boy's grandmother wants it to be seen so reveal published it and we show part of it to you now. You can hear the deputy speaking english to the boy who speaks spanish. The boys tying the drawstring on his pants when he's taste for about thirty five seconds. Straight full diverse spoke to the english diverse until the boy is under arrest diverse. Shucks the child for about thirty five seconds to take me take me. Tell me where you're taking me i. That's body camera. Footage of a sheriff in san antonio texas tasers held in federally funded shelter. The child remains in custody. Now for more we're joined by bogado. She's senior investigative. Reporter reveal who's long covered immigration including the conditions of detained migrant. Kids her new investigation with laura morello's headlined. I'm going to taste this kid. Government shelters are turning refugee children over to police Welcome back to democracy now to talk about this particular situation where this boy is held. Supposedly moving them from a custom border facilities to oral is supposed to be more humane but then they bring in the police and they taste them. A lot of people within the federal government will usually referred to ice and border patrol enforcement and o. Our are which really is an agency that should be a household name by now. Those are more social workers and so these are children minors under the age of eighteen. Who are put in shelters or not accused of any crime etc. And they're supposed to be put their under federal consent decree and be taken care of in the least restrictive kind of facility until they can be released without unnecessary delay. We've found over and over again. That a lot of children are kept beyond a few weeks or beyond you months and are transferred around for for different reasons We sued the government for records regarding Just basic facts about the treatment of children. How long they're kept inside. We got about three hundred thousand records last year and based on that we started noticing that a lot of children were being discharged to line for and so we went locale by cowan started asking for more records. We got a lot more records in this particularly egregious case we saw as the audience. Just saw that a child was taste soon after i shelter staff called nine one one and the local sheriff's there which is the bear county sheriff's deputies deployed taser speaking to the child in english. Although the child no primarily speak spanish and this is a child who's also fleeing some pretty intense violence and dude as he is pretty scared to to go back we were able to confirm his identity and also track down his family and as you mentioned they think that it was important for people here in the united states to see this and to know how some children are treated in custody and outta in this particular case. You are also able to talk to someone julie is. I believe who was listed in the records as the child's lead case manager. What did she tell you yes. It's very rare to be able to speak with people who work in shelters. The government really. That's part of the operation and some of that is understandable. You wanna be able to protect the rights and privacy of children but we just we cold called shelter. The number that we had. I was able to speak with her for a while and she expressed a lot of regret for what happened. She was very sorry on the family to know that that she was sorry for what happened that day. This was a very different attitude than what we see later on. Some of the video where. She's sort of going back and forth and talking with the deputies suggesting that the child may be a hitman of which we have no no evidence of no. She told us by phone that she didn't mean to suggest that he was a killer but that he had been placed somewhere. We're sometimes killers are placed as an interesting disclosure on her end. But it's rare to be able to speak with people who work in shelters and even rare to be able to see the inside of a shelter and see what these places are like isn't exactly an unannounced visit from the legislator but actual bodycam footage and so we were able to see the inside of the kinds of places that we we do a lot to get information about often described to us either records or by children who've been there in the past this rare case we able to sort of see the inside from this body cam footage and of and some people might say well. Maybe this was an a a unique case of a law enforcement person. Gone gone rogue here but you were able to find records. They've been at least nineteen a police interventions with children. You talk about some of some whether this is a an an unusual outlier case of whether there's.

You can hear the deputy speaking english to the boy who speak spanish. The boys tying the drawstring on his pants when he's taste for about thirty five seconds. Straight full diverse spoke to the english diverse until the boy is under arrest diverse. Shucks the child for about thirty five seconds to take me take me. Tell me where you're taking me i. That's body camera. Footage of a sheriff in san antonio texas tasers boy held in federally funded shelter. The child remains in custody. Now for more. We're joined by bogado. she's senior. Investigative reporter reveal who's long covered immigration including the conditions of detained migrant. Kids her new investigation with laura morello's headlined. I'm going to taste this kid. Government shelters are turning refugee children over to police Welcome back to democracy now to talk about this particular situation where this boy is held. Supposedly moving them from a custom border facilities to oral is supposed to be more humane but then they bring in the police and they taste them. A lot of people within the federal government will usually referred to ice and border patrol enforcement and o. r. are which really is an agency that should be a household name by now. Those are more social workers and so these are children minors under the age of eighteen. Who are put in shelters or not accused of any crime etc. And they're supposed to be put their under federal consent decree and be taken care of in the least restrictive kind of facility until they can be released without unnecessary delay. We've found over and over again. That a lot of children are kept beyond a few weeks or beyond you months and are transferred around for for different reasons We sued the government for records regarding Just basic facts about the treatment of children. How long they're kept inside. We got about three hundred thousand records last year and based on that we started noticing that a lot of children were being discharged to line for and so we went locale by cowan started asking for more records. We got a lot more records in this particularly egregious case we saw as the audience. Just saw that a child was taste soon after i shelter staff called nine one one and the local sheriff's there which is the bear county sheriff's deputies deployed taser speaking to the child in english. Although the child no primarily speak spanish and this is a child who's also fleeing some pretty intense violence and dude as he is pretty scared to to go back we were able to confirm his identity and also track down his family and as you mentioned they think that it was important for people here in the united states to see this and to know how some children are treated in custody and outta in particular case. You are also able to talk to someone julie is. I believe who was listed in the records as the child's lead case manager. What did she tell you yes. It's very rare to be able to speak with people who work in shelters. The government really. That's part of the operation and some of that is understandable. You wanna be able to protect the rights and privacy of children but we just we cold called shelter. The number that we had. I was able to speak with her for a while and she expressed a lot of regret for what happened. She was very sorry on the family to know that that she was sorry for what happened that day. This was a very different attitude than what we see later on. Some of the video where. She's sort of going back and forth and talking with the deputies suggesting that the child may be a hitman of which we have no no evidence of no. She told us by phone that she didn't mean to suggest that he was a killer but that he had been placed somewhere. We're sometimes killers are placed as an interesting disclosure on her end. But it's rare to be able to speak with people who work in shelters and even rare to be able to see the inside of a shelter and see what these places are like isn't exactly unannounced visit from the legislator but actual bodycam footage and so we were able to see the inside of the kinds of places that we we do a lot to get information about often described to us either records or by children who've been there in the past this rare case we were able to sort of see the inside from this body cam footage and of and some people might say well. Maybe this was an a a unique case of a law enforcement person. Gone gone rogue here but you were able to find records. They've been at least nineteen a police interventions with children. You talk about some of some whether this is a an an unusual outlier case of whether there's.

"By narsingdi. This is democracy. Now i'm amy goodman juan gonzalez as we continue to look at israel's attack on gaza we're joined now longtime israeli journalist amira haas correspondent for haaretz in the occupied palestinian territories. She's the only israeli jewish journalists to have spent over twenty five years living in an reporting from gaza and the west bank. Her latest piece is headlined. Gaza lives erased. Israel's wiping out entire palestinian families on purpose amira hass welcome back to democracy now as you join us from ramallah in the west bank. Yesterday there was a general strike protests and gaza and east jerusalem inside israel in the west bank. I'm around the world of four palestinians were killed in the west bank where you are. Can you talk about the situation overall in who Well as you described it so well over the past twenty minutes or so. It's a whole it's it's it's one country where the palestinians are are being attacked on the one hand but on the other hand they are rebelling. So all over in. I think that we should not. We should not underestimate the political end military achievement of to realize israeli normal budapest days. It's it's terrible because we we think about the hill through which people in gaza live because of israeli offensive. But at the same time we have to remember that it was a calculated decision by hamas to respond to israeli escalation in in jerusalem during the ramadan month to respond by military ultimatum. And then by the launching of rockets. Which do we know. Paul bailey's in a state of fear and this is when we look we think about the balance of power it's an achievement for hamas and it is seen by meant by many a palestinian. It's a way to say to israel. You have not listened to you have not responded to palestinian requests for adjust solution for addressing palestinian demands in a in a bit diplomatique way or two palestinian popular. Armed uprisings so we escalate because you escalate. And because you don't listen. And i think this puts hamas as a as the main palestinian political actor in the region in the world and a mirror. You've been writing also about the palestinian families. Obliterated by the israeli bombings wrote in howard state the numerous incidents of killing entire families in israeli bombings in gaza parents and children babies grandparents siblings attest that these were not mistakes. The bombings follow a decision from higher up backed by the approval of military jurists. Can you elaborate on that. that's right. Israel has all the information about every palestinian family whether it is in the best west bay anc or or jerusalem or gaza let alone palestinians in israel so it has control over the palestinian a registry of population. Actually no no detail in this population. Read street is is up valid before without israeli approval so palestinians Update regularly update the israeli authorities about four or so israel must know israeli authorities and israel military must know that in a certain house there are three children one of them was born just half a year ago and they are two women and two elderly women so all these details are there and when israel decides to or the israeli army these slides to bomb such a house without bothering to tell the people to leave it. It means they take into. They have a calculation that they are military targets is more important or is worthy. Excuse my my language is once the of killing the ten children. Five and five women. It's just an example. This was correct. Heuristic of the war in two thousand fourteen. There were one hundred and forty two families which number between three to more people who are eradicated by israeli bombing and so far there were i think fifteen families in this in this current offensive. Fifteen families that were killed in a similar way so we can say may maybe once one family or to kill because they were in the wrong place at the wrong but twenties persisting and when we know that these people were killed before dawn in their own homes. Eight means that somebody just decided this is. This was okay. I wanted to ask you about the role of the united states on the one hand clearly preventing l. the un security council from censoring israel and the president biden publicly saying that israel has a right to defend himself but then his aides claiming to the press that privately. He's being a lot tougher with netanyahu telling him he's only got. His patience is wearing thin and that the the attacks have to stop. This has happened so many times in the past where the united states publicly says one thing but claims to be privately laptop for wondering your assessment of the us role right. Now you know much better than me. And i'm i must say that in the last days also i i hardly followed the international news or i most of the time following. What's what is happening in in gaza but in principle and as usual you know it is very disappointing because we've heard that in other in other terrains. The by biden ministrations lead managed to cut off from the tradition of former government former administrations. And certainly the administration of of trump. But here again. This absolute loyalty to israel tells us that they have a lot of that. All of these military military interests common interest steele's still benefit the israeli. Ah occupation machine..

Workers in alabama and all across america are voting whether to organize a union in their workplace. This is vitally important. A vitally important choice. As america grapples with the deadly pandemic the economic crisis in the reckoning on race what it reveals the deep disparities is still exist in our country and there should be no intimidation no coercion.

Let's begin with you in bessemer in this last week. What message you putting out. And what are the tactics. Amazon is using to fight. The unionization effort ulcers right now is just to encourage the employees leagues to get a ballots out in the mail to mail them out. Because that's the only way that we allow voices to be heard and amazon tactics that are using standard steady. Going around from person to person Telling them you know to vote. No one in just doing a whole bunch of stuff. They're not handling cabinet meetings but they'll to individuals at a time and telling them these themes and stuart applebaum. I wanted to ask you a these statements by a president biden beef before the election as the election is unfolding. I don't recall president ever making a statement of any party before a major union drive in the country the impact of that and and biden stance so far on the right of of labor to organize. Hello everybody you're right. It's the most pro union pro worker statements that has ever been made by a president of the united states and that is so crucial and selection amazon is trying to intimidate workers. They want them to be afraid. And what president biden statement. Sarah's is that you may be up against perhaps the most powerful corporations world so wealthiest person in the world but the president of the united states has your back and sat as crucial for workers to be hearing. And i wanted to ask you a follow up on that. The national labor relations board the president biden won't be able to have a majority on the board until probably later this year because the terms are staggered. But he did a point that general council recently to the be that is much more pro labor. Could you talk about the impact. That's having on the potential for future union drives. I'd also much what is happening on this union as well because labor law in this country is tilted to save for employers and to make it difficult for workers to ever be able to achieve. And that's incredibly unfortunate. We saw that. The trump board often sought to make it even worse for workers trying to organize a lengthy time periods giving employers more time to try to intimidate interfere with workers. We meet sue. We need to change the way. We conduct union elections in this country and that needs to things it means. We need to have a board composed of people who are going to be supportive of. What is the policy. It's this country which is to promote collective bargaining unionization and it also means that we have to change the laws in this country that now make it so disa- cult for workers trying to get a collective sports to be able to achieve unionization.

While he awaits trial Caesar Sayaka, Florida resident who frequently praised President Trump while threatening his opponents on social media is accused of sending bombs to the Obamas. The Clinton's former vice president Joe Biden next CIA director John Brennan, congress members, Maxine Waters, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, liberal activists, Tom Steiner, and George Soros, actor Robert deniro and CNN's main office building in Manhattan at the supreme court. Newly seeded Justice Brett Kavanagh appeared receptive Tuesday to the arguments of a condemn Missouri prisoner who says he's likely to experience extreme. Pain if he subjected to a lethal injection Russell buck Lou was scheduled to be executed last March before the high court agreed to hear his appeal. His attorneys argued at the supreme court, Tuesday, Buckley's rare medical condition could prevent a lethal injection drug from circulating properly through his veins likely leading to a death so agonizing it would violate the constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The supreme court split four two four earlier this year on whether to allow the execution to proceed meaning Justice Cavanaugh will likely cast the deciding vote in the case, and in Wisconsin, where Republican governor Scott Walker was defeated on Tuesday in his bid for a third term an office. The high tech manufacturer Foxconn says seeking to bring in workers from China to help run the factory under construction near the city of Racine. Governor Walker back to plan with the support of house speaker Paul Ryan and President Trump to. Died three billion dollars in tax credits to Foxconn claiming the taxpayer money would provide thousands of new jobs while renovating Wisconsin's economy, but Foxconn has scaled back its plans now saying it'll hire just three thousand workers in the short term, most of them and engineering positions rather than the thirteen thousand Matthew facturing jobs governor Walker had promised and the size of the tax payer subsidy has steadily increased to four point one billion dollars during two terms office. Governor Scott Walker which known for aggressively busting unions, and for his close ties to right wing dark money groups, and those are some of the headlines, this is democracy. Now democracy now dot org. The warrant piece report, I'm Amy Goodman, Juan Gonzalez, welcome to all of our viewers and listeners across the country and around the world. Democrats have seized control of the house of representatives flipping more than two dozen seats. This gives Democrats subpoena power for the first time since President Trump was elected two years ago, while the Democrats will control the House Republicans picked up two more seats in the Senate on the state level. Democrats picked up seven governorships huge turnout numbers were reported across the country. President Trump responded to the election results by tweeting, quote, if the Democrats think they're going to waste taxpayer money investigating us at the house level. Then we will likewise be forced to consider investigating them for all of the leaks of classified information and much else at the Senate level to complete that game. The terms were a groundbreaking election for women for the first time in US history. At least one hundred women will serve in the US house of representatives, including the first two native American women and the first two Muslim women later in the program. We'll hear from. Democratic socialist Alexandra Cossio Cortes who became the youngest woman ever elected to congress. But we begin today's show with two guests here in New York, Katrina, vanden Heuvel, editor and publisher of the nation. America's oldest weekly magazine. She's also a columnist for the Washington Post dot com, and we're joined by Rashad Robinson, executive director of color of change. We welcome you both to democracy. Now, let's begin with Katrina vanden who've oh your thoughts on what has taken place the house now in the hands of Democrats Republicans have expanded control of the Senate. I think taking back the house is critical is a check on President Trump. But also, I think it's important people know that a majority of the committees and subcommittees will be controlled by progressives. The progressive caucus will have about ninety members some of the women you mentioned will join and it will have thirteen committees. And I think thirty subcommittees that's important. And I think the ability to not only hold the president in the. Administration accountable on corruption on self interest on self-dealing, but the ability to lay out bold initiatives, bold, legislation may not pass with a Senate as we've seen it. But it's critical. I think that the progressive Democrats lay out in this war of ideas, that progressives have been winning to a certain extent fifteen minimum wage jobs program infrastructure, free higher. Ed. The governor's race is one spoke of critical critical both as a blue wall against the redistricting scams that we've seen from the Republicans critical also to rest back the rust belt from Trump who really did. Well, and key parts, Wisconsin. How sweet it is Scott Walker going down. I mean, my colleague John Nichols has written so much copy about this man who busted public workers assault on education has demeaned and degraded the Wisconsin idea, so I think that's critical amendment for renewed Robinson. And I were. Talking about it. One thing we've seen in this election. Amien won the barriers to democratic participation the will funded targeting voting suppression. So men men for restoring rights to ex-felons to vote one point four million Floridians will be able to vote I think is a vital step on the road to a true democracy. Statehouses? We haven't seen the numbers yet. But those will be hopeful as well flipping. I think Minnesota and a few others. So I think it was you know, it was a bittersweet night because we've seen the incendiary toxic. Nationalism xenophobia, any immigrant actions talk of this president and his enabler in the Republican party. You know, they they secured some wins. However, those who say was kinda split, let's all recall that the Senate map is the most horrific for Democrats. I mean, it's just, you know, the one third up we're really states in which the Republicans and Trump of played well, you mentioned the rust belt, and it to know that there were three states that really delivered for Trump, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania and of the and they're those three in those three states. The statewide all Ron's either for governor or for Senate for the US Senate of the Democrats won six out of seven. So you've seen a situation now where those key states now are really not as reliable Republican as they appear to be in two thousand. One. I mean, many of those voters went for Obama in two thousand and eight and two thousand and twelve so it was that flip in two thousand sixteen that has to be looked at. And I think last night was in good insight into what is possible in twenty twenty in effect. We can talk about a twenty twenty began last night, but that's a different discussion. But I think you see it with taking back those those state houses there were some good minimum wage initiatives in states very troubling that good initiative in Washington state, the kind of carbon tax the green new deal went down. You still see the power of corporate money in our system and at the state level. There were six states that moved into total democratic contrived and the one of the New York state where the New York state Senate, which was had been very evenly divided. The Republicans control now is overwhelmingly democratic twenty three. I think is now the number in the New York state Senate win that means in terms of what can be accomplished. By progressives. Progressives won a supermajority in the Vermont house neutralizing, the newly reelected governor fill Scott's veto threat knows this. I mean, it's critical on so many levels. But historically, as you will know we've lost over a thousand state legislative seats in the last few years. So this is coming back and saying Democrats progressives are going to play at all levels, New York state. You studied you've written one? It's a major win us. See what governor Cuomo does with it because he's hid behind the inability to do much with the independent democratic conference now defeated one last race, which I think is very important one. And I were talking about is Antonio Delgado in the nineteenth congressional district that race was supercharged with toxic racist rhetoric. John Foucault has held out against good people except for teach out, but he's gone. So I think you know, it's a bittersweet, but I think real gains were made. And I think it would be wrong to. Downplay those one of the nation's most closely watched races of the year remains too close to call Georgia secretary of state Brian Kemp, holding a slim lead over democratic challenger Stacey Abrams who is vying to be the first African American woman governor in US history, but Abrams is refusing to concede because thousands of absentee ballots have not yet been counted campus currently at fifty point five percent if he dips below fifty the race goes to a runoff. The Georgia race was marred by widespread allegations of voter suppression carried out by Brian camp. Again, who is as Georgia secretary of state is in control of the elections, despite the fact many demanded that he recused himself. Meanwhile, in Florida Democrat Andrew gillum conceded to Republican Ron to Santa's after a tight race Gillam attempting to become Florida's first African American government, but faced a string of racist attacks from outside groups into Santa's who told Floridians knocked. Monkey this up and in Maryland, Republican governor Larry HOGAN was re elected defeating democrat, Ben jealous. The former head of the N double ACP or shod Robinson. You're the executive director of color of change. Yeah. I think I think these. You know, what happened last night with particularly with Andrew in Stacy's race. I think represents the way that the south is changing.
