‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR FEBRUARY 5, 2021: Dems Move Forward with COVID Relief, Trump Impeachment…Immigrants Press For Human Rights…Plus Headlines on Greene, Teachers, Iran and More…

In the days leading to the second impeachment of Donald Trump, Washington is as divided as ever over what are the facts and how to move forward. And while some cheer the Biden administration's first steps to fix the broken U.S. immigration system, millions more refugees, asylum seekers and the undocumented languish in limbo. We hear voices rallying for justice for all immigrants at the #AllofUs action at the Washington Monument on January 27. We also speak to attorney Ofelia Calderon. Plus headlines: Democrats prepare to use the budget reconciliation process...Qanon supporter Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene of Georgia removed from her House committees...Gerald Horne on Iran and international news...Biden signs new orders on immigration...The latest on teachers and public school reopening amid COVID...Maryland agricultural reserve saved from industrial solar farm...Montgomery County, Md. issues long-awaited public safety report... Culture and Media: Progressive content producers demonetized on YouTube...Fight to allow Line 3 pipeline protest in Minnesota...This week in history: 1961 Greensboro sit-in...
