From Tempest Tossed comes Entry Denied
Entry Denied is an eight-episode series on Trump Administration immigration policies. Co-hosted by Alex Aleinikoff (Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility, The New School) and Deb Amos (National Public Radio), the podcast provides a comprehensive discussion of the origins, content and implications of Trump policies, told by leading journalists, migrants, and academics.
The series shows how Trump accomplished much of what he promised during his presidential campaign:
- a wall on the southwest border
- a “Muslim ban”
- the attempted termination of DACA
- reduction in refugee admission
- restrictions on asylum-seekers
- a ramp up of interior enforcement
- significantly increase deportation
- attempts to punish “sanctuary cities”
- reduce legal immigration
The series also focuses on the impact on migrants and migrant communities, hearing the voices of asylum-seekers and refugees, DACA recipients and community members.
