Episode notes

On day one, there were more executive orders related to immigration on the border than anything else. A big one was ordering like a pause on interior enforcement from ICE on deportations. The signal that it sent I think particularly throughout Latin America was that there'd been a major change in policy. And so that precipitated some very, very challenging and politically damaging scenes for the president.

President Biden promised a more humane approach to immigration when he entered office. After two years and a flurry of activity on asylum policies, the Washington Post’s Nick Miroff explains whether Biden has delivered.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Jolie Myers, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
