Summary
Award-winning journalist Jacob Soboroff — author of Separated: Inside an American Tragedy and incoming host of Connect with Jacob Soboroff (premiering June 13 on MSNOW) — sits down with host John Carlos Frey on The Raid to trace his full journey covering U.S. immigration policy. From his first trip across the border into Tijuana during the Obama era, to the moment he walked into a converted Walmart housing 1,100 separated boys in Brownsville, TX — Soboroff reflects on what he missed, what changed him, and why he refuses to pretend injustice has "two sides." He also opens up about covering the 2025 LA wildfires that burned his childhood neighborhood, how those events shaped his new show's identity, and why he believes human connection — not neutrality — is the future of journalism. https://www.jacobsoboroff.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").
