Political Shakeups and Economic Impacts

In his first 100 days in office, President Trump has struggled to fulfill his promise to carry out mass deportations, a reality that has prompted his administration to change its strategy.

Rather than putting its focus on migrants with a criminal record, or those who recently crossed the border, the White House is increasingly seeking to deport those who came to the United States decades ago and have established a life, career and family in America.

Jessica Cheung, a producer on “The Daily,” tells the story of one such migrant through the eyes of his daughter.

Guest: Jessica Cheung, a senior producer at The New York Times, working on “The Daily.”
