'Praying for it to end': Vermont superintendent speaks out after ICE interrogation - All In - MSNBC

“I told them I was an American citizen. I questioned why they were using those tactics on me. I asked about my constitutional rights. An officer outright said out loud that I have no constitutional rights at a point of entry,” says Wilmer Chavarria, a school superintendent for the Winooski school district in Vermont who was detained and interrogated by border agents. - Aired on 07/25/2025.
