Reacting to a report that Donald Trump's ICE agents arrested the wife of a U.S. Marine in Louisiana who recently gave birth, set off the panel on MSNBC's "The Weekend" on Saturday morning.

A furious and animated Elise Jordan exclaimed "Oh, my god!" as she noted the Marine father has been forced to bring the couple's 9-week-old baby to the jail where his wife is being held so the newborn can be breastfed instead of ICE releasing his wife.

According to a report from NOLA.com, "Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Paola Clouatre, of Baton Rouge, after a U.S. Customs and Immigration Services check-in last month that she attended with her husband in New Orleans, according to the family's attorney."

"There's a story on Military.com that we cannot get out of our heads that you've been reading all week. I'm so haunted by it. A woman who has been in America since age 14, she fled Mexico violence, applied for asylum," Jordan reported.

"Now 25 years old, she has a 9-week old baby, and now she's in a detention center," she continued. "She's married to a U.S. Marine, also has a 1-year old, a 1-year old mother. The Marine is taking their baby to the facility so she can breastfeed. Oh my god! What kind of country are we? Where is our humanity if we aren't willing to let a mother breastfeed her child in the safety of her own home and married to a U.S. Marine?"

"And then, on top of it, you know, she gets snatched up because she's following the rules that was set out by the American government," she exclaimed. "That's the thing of all the of all the horrors of what we've been seeing around the country, people who are told you have to you have to follow the process, follow the procedures, follow the steps, do the right thing and you'll be rewarded."

Some far-right extremists are relishing the idea of violence at the "No Kings" protests against President Donald Trump set to happen in over 2,000 cities this weekend. But others have the exact opposite take on the matter.

On Friday, Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes told conspiracy theorist webcaster Alex Jones that Trump supporters ought to stay far away from these protests, lest they add fuel to what he imagines will be a Democratic false flag event.

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) opened up about what went down on Thursday in a podcast for The Bulwark — and the incredibly unlikely person who came to his rescue when federal agents tackled and handcuffed him after he tried to ask a question of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Specifically, he told Adrian Carrasquillo, longtime Trumpworld strategist, lobbyist, and Department of Homeland Security adviser Corey Lewandowski helped him get out of the situation.

A New Jersey congresswoman said Friday afternoon that the Justice Department offered to drop charges against her if she admitted to something she "did not do."

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) was arrested and later indicted on federal charges stemming from a confrontation outside the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark last month. Federal prosecutors said McIver "forcibly imped[ed] and interfer[ed' with federal law enforcement officers" as they arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was trying to join a congressional oversight visit at the facility.

Former Marine fighter pilot Amy McGrath thinks that top White House aide Stephen Miller is the puppet master behind the Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids on farms across California.

President Donald Trump announced to the media on Thursday that “changes are coming” to ensure farmers won't lose immigrant labor from their fields.

Anti-Donald Trump protests are scheduled around the country on Saturday, but some jumped the gun early, taking to the streets with a march to Ohio's state capitol.

The Columbus Dispatch uploaded a video Friday showing the anti-ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) protesters speaking out against the raids around the country.

U.S. Rep. Eric Sorensen, a Democrat and the first openly gay member of Congress from Illinois, delivered strong criticism of U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, accusing the embattled Pentagon chief of not caring about LGBTQ service members, and fostering an environment where LGBTQ people do not want to join the military. He also brought up the planned renaming of the USNS Harvey Milk, which the Secretary reportedly ordered to intentionally coincide with LGBTQ Pride Month.

Congressman Sorensen told Secretary Hegseth that Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official in California, who was assassinated in 1978, served “courageously,” but was forced to resign from the Navy because he was gay.

A former Trump White House aide warned president Donald Trump's crackdown on protesters would backfire.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served as an aide during Trump's first presidency, appeared Friday morning on "CNN News Central" to discuss the deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles and the forcible removal of Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) from a news conference with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

CNN's Elie Honig analyzed a federal judge's ruling that questioned the legality of president Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard in California without Gov. Gavin Newsom's approval.

U.S. District judge Charles Breyer questioned the administration's claims that Trump's decision could not be second-guessed, even in court, and found that Trump was acting like a "monarch" by unilaterally activating the state's troops, but paused his order from taking effect to allow for an appeal.

President Donald Trump gloated over Israel's attack on Iran during a brief telephone conversation with CNN's Dana Bash.

The journalist spoke to the president Friday morning, hours after the Israeli strike that killed three of Iran's top military leaders, and he touched on some of the same points that he made in social media posts contradicting his own administration's statements, but added some braggadocio.

A former foreign policy official under presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden was surprised by Donald Trump's social media post upending his administration's narrative on Iran.

Israel launched an unprecedented strike on Iran's nuclear program and military leaders, killing Revolutionary Guard commander Hossein Salami and major general Mohammad Bagheri, and Trump acknowledged Friday morning that he had signed off on the attack.
