The Old Man’s Back Again

Sponsored by Reaktion Books

In the days since Donald Trump was elected president, he has already pledged to end birthright citizenship—a right enshrined in the Fourteenth Amendment—by executive fiat, to shutter the Department of Education, and to deport millions of people.
