Watch The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper

« Previous Ep. CNN Anchor and Chief Investigative Correspondent Pamela Brown examines the growing influence of Christian nationalism, an ideology rooted in the belief that the United States was founded as a Christian nation and that its laws and institutions should reflect Christian values. Through immersive reporting and on-the-ground access, the episode explores how a movement once largely confined to the margins of white evangelical culture has gained new visibility and political power. "My reporting for this hour began early last year when I visited Moscow, Idaho to interview Pastor Douglas Wilson. The response to that report was overwhelming and highlighted the need to better understand this movement working to redefine America as a Christian nation in the home, in a marriage, in schools and in government," said Brown. "We embedded with a community under Pastor Wilson's umbrella and spoke to women who have left the church and are now sounding the alarm. No matter where you live or what you believe, what we learned is especially consequential at this moment." In "The Rise of Christian Nationalism," Brown travels to faith-centered communities where Christian nationalist ideas shape daily life, education, and governance. She sits down with prominent religious leaders who have helped build networks of churches and schools designed to instill a strict, literal interpretation of the Bible. She also speaks with women who are former church members, sharing accounts of religious trauma, rigid gender roles, and, in some cases, abuse within Christian nationalist communities.

CNN Anchor and Correspondent Omar Jimenez traces the dramatic escalation of enforcement tactics by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement since Donald Trump took office. Traveling from Los Angeles to Chicago, to Minneapolis, and ultimately to the border between Guatemala and Mexico, Jimenez examines how federal immigration policies are unfolding on the ground and reshaping communities across the United States, even affecting migration patterns. In "Immigration Crackdown: A Year of Enforcement," Jimenez speaks with people who say they have suffered directly at the hands of ICE, and families now living in fear of leaving their homes even for groceries. In Chicago, the episode reveals extensive body-camera footage from police and federal agents that captures an unfiltered look at ICE tactics during on-the-ground operations. In Minneapolis, Jimenez traces the economic impact on Latino businesses where both customers and workers have stopped showing up. "I've been reporting in many of these communities for months now and the fear is unmistakeable, but there's also a lot of anger at the tactics employed by the federal government," Jimenez said. "These are the human stories behind the policy decisions in Washington DC and I really wanted to show the wide-ranging implications of those policies both here in the United States and beyond."
