ICE Ain't Nice: Trump's Immigration Policies (Part 1)

Episode 15
(Note: At one point Conall refers to CBP as Customs and Border Patrol. I misspoke - it's Customs and Border Protection, of which Border Patrol is a subagency)
In this episode, Conall and Emerson analyze the Trump administration's embrace of hard line, xenophobic immigration policies and the controversial agency (ICE) tasked with enforcing many of them. We also note the intellectual architect of these policies, Stephen Miller, and the role he's played in pushing for all of Trump's signature immigration policies, including family separation.
This is the first episode in a two part series discussing Trump's immigration policies and the agencies who enforce them. Next episode, we discuss Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
