What's often missing, however, is a broader and deeper analysis of what’s behind the headlines. Crossroads, hosted by Epoch Times senior investigative reporter Joshua Philipp, is an opinion and analysis show that presents deeper insights into the news cycle, culture, and society. It connects current events with history, ties various news stories together with analysis and opinion, and goes beyond the headlines to present a clearer picture of what’s happening in the world","last_synced_at":"2026-06-19T08:18:20.184715+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crossroads-with-joshua-philipp-709717"},"episode":{"title":"Memo Reveals Plan to Speed Up Deportations","slug":"memo-reveals-plan-to-speed-up-deportations","published_at":"2026-02-18T01:50:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crossroads-with-joshua-philipp-709717/memo-reveals-plan-to-speed-up-deportations","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crossroads-with-joshua-philipp-709717","url":"https://www.theepochtimes.com/podcasts","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/6269565f-5a81-4341-82da-bd685c7d742b.mp3","summary":"A memo has revealed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plan to speed up deportations.

Meanwhile, the recent surge of border agents in Minnesota is being drawn down, and border czar Tom Homan says he believes it’s still necessary to “flood the zone” in other sanctuary cities.
