Episode description

Americans were horrified when federal immigration agents killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis earlier this year. Donald Trump responded by firing his border-patrol head and homeland-security adviser. Their replacements have sought to keep his mass-deportation drive out of the headlines, but behind the scenes it has grown more effective than ever. Edward Carr, The Economist’s deputy editor, joins a panel of our top editors to examine President Trump’s latest immigration crackdown and how it's changing America. #Trump #US #USA #America #ICE 00:00 - How Donald Trump has stopped illegal migration 01:58 - The removal of temporary protected status 04:24 - What’s happening to legal migration? 07:01 - The impact of Trump’s crackdown on America Watch the full show: http://bit.ly/4i0r6pA Sign up to the Insider newsletter: https://econ.st/4nOyzIb Subscribe to The Economist: https://www.economist.com/subscribe Download our app: https://www.economist.com/get-the-app Follow The Economist on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theeconomist/ Follow The Economist on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEconomist Follow The Economist on X: https://x.com/TheEconomist
