Democrat's teenaged State of the Union guest singled out by Trump's DHS - The Last Word - MS NOW [View all]
Marcelo Gomes da Silva, a 19-year-old who was detained in an ICE facility for six days last year, attended Trump's State of the Union address as a guest of Democratic Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA). But in the middle of the speech, the Department of Homeland Security posted a tweet naming him and calling him "an illegal alien who has no right to be in our nation."
Congressman Moulton joins MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell to discuss why he invited Marcelo, and why he says the tweet from Homeland Security does not reflect our democracy. - Aired on 02/25/2026.
