Mercy in Minnesota, Pro-Life in Trump 2.0, and Syrian-Kurdish Conflict
The Bulletin
Will neighborly care outlast ICE's presence?
Hosts consider whether Minnesota's cross-cultural networks will persist after enforcement operations subside.
Amidst protests and aggressive tactics by federal immigration agents, Christians in Minnesota are caring for their immigrant neighbors. CT’s Emily Belz joins us to talk about her reporting from the Twin Cities, with an eye to how churches are responding to those living in fear and at risk of deportation. Then, Harvest Prude stops by to give us an update on the annual March for Life, the largest gathering of pro-life supporters in the US, and how the pro-life movement is faring under the current administration. Finally, is Trump leaving behind pro-democracy Syrians? Hadeel Oueis joins Russell Moore, Mike Cosper, and Clarissa Moll to discuss the dynamics in the post-Asaad regime.
