Your Turn to Talk: new immigration policy

Listen Later

President Donald Trump’s administration pledged to deport approximately 11 million people who lack permanent legal status. And last week, Tennessee’s legislature passed a sweeping immigration law to support Trump’s planned mass deportation. Today, we hear details about the new policies and their effects on immigrants and refugees in Nashville. Plus, we learn about resources and “know your rights” programs for community members, educators and students. And once again, it’s your turn to talk. Call us at 615-760-2000. We want to know: Is immigration policy headed in the right direction?

This episode was produced by Mary Mancini.
