As the Middle-East conflict continues to escalate with missile strikes between Israel and Iran, President Donald Trump weighs U.S. military action against Iran, giving himself a timeline of two weeks to come to a decision. April Ryan and Alex Ward join The Weekend to discuss factors that may weigh in to the president's final decision. Ankush Khardori also joins The Weekend to discuss a federal judge's decision to release Pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil from federal custody.

As the Trump Administration's immigration crackdown ramps up across the country, two of the Democratic officials ICE has targeted join "The Weekend." California Senator Alex Padilla reacts to the Vice President referring to him as "Jose' Padilla" – and NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander recounts his recent arrest during an oversight visit at a New York City immigration court.

Vice President JD Vance attacked California's top Democrats during a visit to Los Angeles on Friday, accusing them of encouraging violent protesters, and even misnaming California Sen. Alex Padilla, calling him "Jose." made a whirlwind visit and left behind a political firestorm. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass joins The Weekend to discuss the impact of the military's presence and the ICE raids being conducted throughout the city. California Congressman Ro Khanna also joins The Weekend to talk about how lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are working to limit Trump's authority to unilaterally involve the U.S. in the Middle-East conflict between Iran and Israel.
