President Donald Trump was dealt his first major legal blow since returning to the White House when a federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked his executive order to end birthright citizenship for the future children of some immigrants. U.S. District Judge John Coughenour, a Reagan appointee, called the order "blatantly unconstitutional." In all of the nonsense this week, one executive order that's received less attention is the administration's move to designate drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. Keegan Hamilton, senior editor for legal affairs and criminal justice at the Los Angeles Times, explains the real-world implications of Trump's cartel order.And in headlines: Trump signed an executive order to declassify documents related to the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr., John F Kennedy, and Robert F Kennedy; the Department of Justice put a hold on all new civil rights cases until further notice, and the Senate advanced Pete Hegseth's nomination to be the next defense secretary despite allegations of sexual misconduct and alcohol abuse.Show Notes:Check out Keegan's work – www.latimes.com/people/keegan-hamiltonSupport victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

This week we are doing something a little different. Join the Out of Battery boys as they chat with Keegan Hamilton, freelance journalist formerly with Vice, about the (in)famous GMM 1 documentary, his time reporting on 3D printed guns, and whether or not he secretly has a print farm running at home.
For over 30 years, Danny Elliot suffered from severe chronic pain, the aftermath of nearly getting electrocuted to death in a home accident. The only thing that eased his pain was the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl, which was prescribed to him by a doctor. But in recent years, it had become almost impossible for Danny to obtain fentanyl—even with a prescription. With illicit fentanyl made by Mexican cartels causing thousands of overdose deaths, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has been cracking down on all sources of supply—including doctors suspected of operating illegally and over-prescribing. A week after the DEA's visit to Danny's third doctor in four years, he killed himself. His wife of 25 years, Gretchen Elliott, also took her own life at the same time. VICE News correspondent Keegan Hamilton first spoke to Danny two years ago for an episode of the podcast series “PAINKILLER: America's Fentanyl Crisis”. This week, he went to Danny's funeral and talked with friends and family who told a story of a tragedy that was as predictable as it was avoidable.This story was reported and produced by Keegan Hamilton and Jesse Alejandro Cottrell.

In 2012 California shut down the San Onofre nuclear power plant after decades of anti-nuclear activism, leaving the state with only one remaining nuclear plant. This meant that California started producing more of its energy by burning fossil fuels. So was the closing of San Onofre a victory or a tragedy for the environment? The answer to this question hinges on another: how much danger is society willing to accept to fight climate change? In this episode of VICE News reports, VICE News correspondent Keegan Hamilton visits San Onofre and meets one of the people helping to tear the plant down—a nuclear engineer who previously helped diffuse North America's worst nuclear accident. Keegan also talks to an MIT professor who says that the Russian army's weaponization of nuclear plants in Ukraine proves that nuclear power is too dangerous.Special thanks to Sarah Svboda, Ben Bishop, Lou Baldanza, and Amanda Mccormick.This episode was produced by Jesse Alejandro Cottrell.

Drug use among teens is actually down but overdose deaths have spiked, doubling nationwide in 2020, largely due to the spread of counterfeit pills. In Los Angeles, a 15-year-old girl died after consuming a pill laced with fentanyl. In a surprise move, the Los Angeles Unified School District now says it will distribute Narcan, which reverses the effects of an opioid overdose, to junior and senior high schools. So, how did we get here? How to LA host Brian De Los Santos explores that question and how to talk to kids about this epidemic. Guests: Joseph Friedman, UCLA researcher and author of a recent JAMA study on teen drug use and overdose deaths; Keegan Hamilton, who covers organized crime and the drug trade at VICE. Support for this podcast is made possible by Gordon and Dona Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes Los Angeles a better place to live. This program is made possible in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people. Correction: Alberto Carvalho's name was mispronounced in an earlier version of this episode.

Twenty-five year old Arkeuntrez Washington was recently released from federal prison for arms trafficking. His re-entry comes with a lot of supervision including tracking his activity online, in part because when he was arrested, authorities found evidence that he wrote a letter to an imprisoned 9/11 plotter. VICE News' Keegan Hamilton spends time with Washington, to figure out how he fits into the bigger picture of extremism and deradicalization, trying to answer the questions: What should happen to you if you're fascinated by terrorists, curious about them to the point that you even reach out to them, but have never commited a single act of terror? And what's the appropriate punishment for that and how do we decide what happens after?This episode was reported by Keegan Hamilton. It was produced by Sayre Quevedo and edited by Adizah Eghan.

Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well

In this eye-opening episode, Debbie speaks with Taylor Pendergrass, an ACLU lawyer dedicated to criminal justice reform and co-editor of Six by Ten: Stories from Solitary. The book includes a collection of the rarely heard personal stories of people who have experienced long-term solitary confinement. In the episode, Taylor and Debbie discuss mental health, incarceration, and why we need to end the dehumanizing practice of long-term solitary confinement in the United States. Listen and Learn: Why solitary confinement is used in the U.S, and why long-term solitary confinement is a problem.About “SHU syndrome,” and the long-lasting psychological and physical effects of isolation on humans.
