Immigration Unmasked: Understanding Trump's Immigration Policy
Description

Bitter debate and violent confrontations continue to fracture the United States as American's polarized and complicated view of immigration war wages at the borders and in our streets. 

Alarming reports and videos are coming out of centers of protests and division, including the recent deadly shooting of a Minneapolis man by Border Patrol; the third shooting and second death since federal officers have faced protesters in that midwestern city. 

On this episode of "Deseret Voices," Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Caitlin Dickerson of The Atlantic joins host McKay Coppins to discuss this boiling battle, how we got here, and what is the Trump administration's end game on this domestic warfront

Deseret Voices is hosted by award-winning journalists McKay Coppins and Jane Clayson Johnson, who go beyond the headlines to explore the stories, people, and ideas shaping our world today. Through thoughtful, in-depth conversations, the Deseret Voices podcast brings clarity and common ground to the complex issues defining our time.
