    Tensions Outside Delaney Hall ICE Detention Facility
    May 31 2026
    On today’s episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton covers breaking news from Newark, New Jersey, where tensions appear to be easing outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility after days of protests and clashes between demonstrators and police. Authorities announced that limited family visitations have resumed, with full visitation hours expected to return tomorrow as officials and activists work to calm unrest across Newark and surrounding communities. Meanwhile, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is calling for the facility's closure following an oversight visit with New Jersey House Democrats. Reverend Al examines every angle of the developing story with New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, and Reverend Steffie Bartley of the National Action Network, who joins live from the ground in Newark.

    Gone Fishing
    May 30 2026
    On today’s episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton is joined by Democratic kingmaker Congressman Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, who was celebrated at his 34th Annual World Famous Fish Fry after surviving a GOP gerrymandering effort that threatened to weaken his district and diminish his political influence in a move critics say was designed to benefit President Trump. The victory against Trump-backed redistricting efforts gave Democrats a boost heading into the weekend, while Clyburn’s South Carolina gathering also offered an early glimpse at several high-profile Democrats who could be eyeing a 2028 presidential run.

  • Another Un-hinged week

    Another Un-hinged week
    May 25 2026
    On today’s episode of Politics Nation, Reverend Al Sharpton opens the week amid renewed concerns over political violence following another alarming incident near President Trump, a shooting outside the White House that left the suspected gunman dead and at least one person injured. Sharpton also examines the political fallout from soaring gas prices tied to Trump’s escalating conflict with Iran, as the president’s approval ratings continue to slide. But instead of focusing on domestic policy or easing voter frustrations, Trump is drawing attention to his controversial ballroom project and using the latest violence to defend its necessity despite resistance from Senate Republicans over taxpayer funding. Plus, growing scrutiny over the president’s proposed $1.8 billion fund tied to convicted extremists and white supremacists is creating rare tensions within the GOP, raising questions about party unity with the midterm elections just months away.
