The U.S. Citizens ICE Wants to Deport

Midday on WNYC | Mar 23, 2018

ICE is deporting and detaining more immigrants under the Trump administration, but for years it has mistakenly deported actual U.S. Citizens. Gregory Copeland, Staff Attorney in the Immigration Law Unit at The Legal Aid Society, talks about how this shocking practice played out with his client James Busse, a U.S. Citizen who was detained and set for deportation. They’ll discuss ICE, deportation practices and what these policies have meant for Busse.

This segment is guest hosted by Hari Kondabolu.
