In recent weeks, thousands of migrants have crossed the rio grande and gathered in a camp under an international bridge. The department of homeland security is executing what could be one of the largest mass deportations in decades. A lot of these people had been living in latin america for years prior to arriving on the southern border.
Vox’s Nicole Narea explains the latest border crisis, and Ayibopost’s Widlore Mérancourt documents deported Haitians’ return to Port-au-Prince.
Today’s show was produced by Will Reid, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
