Host Kristina Egan speaks with Nathan Davis, Executive Director of Gateway Community Services Maine, and Cary Tyson, Executive Director of Portland Downtown, about how federal immigration enforcement activity is affecting businesses, workers, and families across the Greater Portland region. Drawing on results from a recent survey of more than 240 local businesses, the conversation explores how fear and uncertainty can ripple through the local economy—affecting staffing, customer activity, and downtown commerce—while also shaping daily life for immigrant and refugee communities. Davis and Tyson discuss what organizations and employers are seeing on the ground, address common misconceptions, and share practical steps families, workplaces, and community members can take to stay informed, prepared, and supportive while staying within the law.
