The Witch Hunt: Salem vs ICE (Does Due Process Matter For All?)

A teacher asked students to form groups without "witches." Fear divided friends in minutes—no witch needed. This is how it always starts.

In this episode of Trial Junkies United, we explore due process, the Salem Witch Trials, and the pattern repeating today with ICE detention, disappeared immigrants, and attacked veterans. From the Trail of Tears to Japanese internment, history shows us what happens when fear replaces justice.
