## Resource

Host John Carlos Frey talks with Nayna Gupta, Policy Director at the American Immigration Council, to break down the Council's new report: Restoring Credibility and Humanity — a detailed framework proposing a path forward for U.S. immigration enforcement. Nayna and John explore how decades of overly broad immigration laws have enabled the Trump administration's mass deportation agenda, and why simply opposing it isn't enough — elected officials need a credible alternative vision. They also discuss the political landscape in Congress, shifting public opinion, and why the Council believes now is the moment to start building consensus — before the next political opening arrives. https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/report/immigration-enforcement/ https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").
