In this episode, the guys delve into the personal stories of asylum seekers. Guest Kyle Mitchell shares his stories as an immigration lawyer in New York City. From the harrowing escape of a Honduran family threatened by gangs to the incredible tale of an Ecuadorian woman facing unimaginable threats from her “serial killer” mother-in-law, these stories reveal the current stresses of those seeking refuge and those tasked with helping them during unprecedented times. Join the guys as they talk to Kyle about one of the most pressing issues of our time: immigration in America . . as told by someone on the front lines.
