## Resource

Host John Carlos Frey speaks with Austin Kocher, a political and legal geographer and Navy veteran (1999–2003), about the deeply underreported issue of immigrant veterans being detained and deported under the current administration. Kocher explains that while this problem predates the Trump administration, deportations of veterans have accelerated dramatically in recent years. Kocher argues that the current administration has eliminated even the modest administrative protections that previous administrations — both Republican and Democratic — had extended to veteran cases, leaving immigrant veterans with virtually no shield against deportation. https://austinkocher.substack.com/ 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").
