‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR FEBRUARY 8, 2019: Trump Defies Judge’s Order to Reunite Migrant Children Seized from Parents…MD Activists Risk Arrest to Preserve African Burial Ground…Headlines on Green New Deal, SOTU and More


As the Trump administration pursues a coup in Venezuela and futile plans for a border wall, it defies a court order to reunite hundreds if not thousands of migrant children illegally seized from their parents. 
And activists in Maryland are arrested as part of a two-year campaign to create a memorial for an African Burial Ground desecrated and paved over by developers.

CORRECTION: Broadcast versions of this show misidentified the state for U.S. Senator Ed Markey. He is from Massachusetts. We do regret the error and always strive for our best!
