Claiming Citizenship: Race, Religion, and Political Mobilization Among New Americans (Oxford UP, 2025) looks at Indian Americans, currently the second-largest group of immigrants in the United States, and a group that has seen significant representation in the three most recent presidential administrations. Prema Kurien asks how Indian Americans have become a rising political force given that they have not followed the traditional, recommended model of political influence. She examines the dialectical process through which immigrants conform to the structures and cultures of the society to which they have immigrated, but also work to transform their adopted homelands to accommodate their unique needs.

Rice is a staple food for more than half the world's population. Although it is usually white, there are many other colors and types of rice out there. Caryl Levine and Ken Lee have pioneered the introduction of heirloom red and black rice to the United States. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, they share how they are reshaping the way Americans see, think about, and consume rice, all while empowering smallholder farmers and promoting regenerative agriculture. Caryl and Ken also discuss how their efforts impact global food systems, cut methane emissions, and empower women in the field of agriculture.About Guest:Caryl Levine and Ken Lee are jointly co-founders of Lotus Foods, Inc., the successful organic and specialty rice company based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

How should Christians approach immigration, justice, and faith in today's cultural climate? In this episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike and Tim dive into "Joyful, Peaceful, and Gracious Noncompliance," exploring what scripture teaches about welcoming the stranger, showing compassion, and advocating for justice. Drawing on the work of experts like Matthew Soerens and their own reflections, they tackle the complex intersections of cruciformity, faith and politics, and the role of the church in society. Through real-life stories, scripture analysis, and discussions on cultural challenges, they address the dehumanizing language often used in immigration debates, the tension between legality and justice, and the church's responsibility to embody the teachings of Jesus. What does it mean to love our neighbor, especially when they are vulnerable? How can the church navigate these issues with humility, courage, and hope? Engage with thoughtful insights, critical questions, and a call to action to advocate for justice in peaceful, gracious ways. Feel free to email your questions, share your perspectives on social media, and join the conversation as we pursue faithfulness to Jesus in a complex world.

It's Father's Day, so naturally… we talk about being buried alive in the 1800s

What if you could wake up tomorrow in a country that has peaceful protests without military intervention? Where healthcare is a right, not a privilege? Where a five-day hospital stay results in no bill, and where life moves at a pace that prioritizes enjoyment over hustle? This isn't fantasy—it's daily reality in France.France beckons Americans with its seductive blend of art, food, architecture, and a profound dedication to leisure. But beyond the postcard-perfect landscapes lies something perhaps more valuable: a society structured around human dignity. Universal healthcare that actually works. Cities designed for walking, not driving. Public transportation that connects you to all of Europe for less than the cost of dinner in Manhattan.In this comprehensive exploration of relocating to France, we dive deep into practical realities. We discuss the visa pathways that make France more accessible than you might think, from the long-stay visitor visa requiring about €17,000 annual income to specialized options for entrepreneurs, remote workers, and retirees. We break down surprising affordability factors, where cell phone/internet bills run €30 monthly and quality healthcare coverage costs less than many American co-pays.French expat specialist and star of House Hunters International Adrian Leeds, and immigration attorney Daniel Tostado share insider perspectives on everything from housing markets to healthcare navigation. They reveal how the French bureaucracy, while challenging, ultimately delivers services that transform quality of life. "I certainly enjoy the good healthcare," Leeds explains. "When I was in the hospital I didn't have to think about whether my insurance was going to cover it... None of that. Done. Automatic."The cultural transition presents perhaps the greatest challenge. Yet for those willing to adapt, the rewards are immeasurable: safety, beauty, community, and liberation from many anxieties that define American life.Featuring:Adrian LeedsDaniel Tostado-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:BlueskyYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:BlueskyYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock

The show opens with "Legacy," reflecting on the enduring impact of Brian Wilson—his music, perhaps, a soundtrack to generations—and the warmth of Father’s Day, a moment to honor familial bonds.The *Talk Law Radio Show* crackled to life, diving headfirst into the legal undercurrents shaping the nation. The host leaned into the mic, unraveling a tapestry of "hidden legal issues" that pulsed beneath the headlines. First up: deportations, a lightning rod of controversy. The air grew heavy as cases like *DHS v. Svitlana*, *DVD v. DHS*, *Garcia v. Noem*, *A.A.R.P. v. Trump*, and *Trump v. CASA* were dissected, each a battleground over borders and belonging. The conversation shifted to free speech, where voices clash over what can be said and where. Protests, vibrant and volatile, spilled into the discussion, followed by the darker edge of riots and their legal fallout. The National Guard’s role surfaced, tethered to a pivotal court case that raised questions of power and order. As the segment closed, the host paused to honor Flag Day, its symbolism woven into the fabric of the nation, before touching on the spectacle of military parades and their deeper implications. The mood softened as the show turned to "Sinners and Saints," a segment celebrating Thurgood Marshall’s trailblazing nomination as the first African American Supreme Court Justice in 1967. His words echoed through the studio: “We will only attain freedom if we learn to appreciate what is different, and muster the courage to discover what is fundamentally the same.” The quote hung in the air, a call to unity in fractured times. As the broadcast faded, listeners were left with a sense of the law’s vast reach, touching everything from courtrooms to culture, from past heroes to present struggles. As you consider the division, conflict, and danger in politics today as well as man and women's ability with God's help to rise above, heal, and find consensus think about your legacy.

John talks about the continued ICE Protests and overreach from Trump. As 700 Marines enter Los Angeles, a federal judge has blocked Gov. Gavin Newsom's emergency motion to stop Trump's deployment of thousands of national guardsmen. He also discusses RFK Jr. who fired the entire CDC panel tasked with providing vaccine guidance, calling the move a necessary step to restore trust in American medicine. Then he interviews Phyllis A. Coven who served as the seventh Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman (CIS Ombudsman) from 2021-2023. Previously, Ms. Coven served as District Director for the two largest U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) District Offices located in New York and Los Angeles. She also served as Director of the Office of International Affairs under the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), where she was responsible for the operations of the INS's overseas offices and refugee and asylum divisions. Next, John speaks with the Executive Director of the Muslim Community Network - Husein Yatabarry on Donald Trump's latest travel ban. Twelve nations now face full travel bans for their citizens: Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. And finally, Comedy Daddy Keith Price jokes with John and listeners on Trump's latest mishigas.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Birthright citizenship has been a very hot topic for the last few years. When Donald Trump signed an executive order that quoted both the Constitution of the United States and federal law, claiming that would be the policy of the United States, that triggered mulitiple lawsuits. Now, three of those suits have been combined into one and oral arguments were heard at the Supreme Court.

It's a dare/double-dare showdown, as California Governor Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump clash over a National Guard crackdown on immigration protests. How bad could this get? And what does it mean for the entire United States...and the rest of the world? We talk to PM Stephen Harper's former federal Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Chris Alexander about Trump's attack on democracy in California (5:55), ramped-up Russian aggression in Ukraine (37:30), and a wild dynamic at the upcoming G7 in Kananaskis (48:50).  CHRIS on X: https://x.com/calxandr CHRIS ONLINE: https://chrisalexander.ca/ 1:06:00 | Jespo hints at a special guest tandem making an exclusive announcement on an upcoming show, and he and Johnny get mentally prepared for Game Three of the Stanley Cup Final.

Ottawa has deployed cargo planes and other military aircraft to evacuate Sandy Lake First Nation in Ontario - as a wildfire surrounds the community . You'll hear the story of how a construction crew trapped by the fires escaped to safety. Also: Outside a Los Angeles prison, protesters are staring down federal law enforcement - including National Guard troops. President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to quell protests against mass immigration raids. But California's governor and the Mayor of LA say that deployment could make the situation more volatile. And: In Italy, Immigration and citizenship are divisive issues. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government has recently tightened citizenship laws - making it harder for people to get an Italian passport through ancestry. But now, the issue is being put to voters in a two-day national referendum.Plus: An update on wildfires in the Prairies, Ottawa proposes major infrastructure projects, and more.

The questions on a civics exam required for Iowa high school students will be much like those on a U.S. Citizenship exam. Then, we learn what it takes for an immigrant to become a citizen of the United States.

In this episode of Tiny Pulpit Talks, Rev. T.J. Fitzgerald sits down with Dallas-based immigration attorney Jiroko Lopez for a conversation about what it really means to seek legal status in the United States. Rev. T.J. and Jiroko unpack the myths, the fear, and the staggering complexity of immigration law in this country. They talk about red cards, the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, and the rights of undocumented people. They discuss how to prepare your family if you're living without status including how to build a safety plan, create a power of attorney, and gather the documents that could make all the difference in a crisis. But more than that, this is a conversation about humanity. About the fear parents live with every time they drop their kids at school. About the quiet heroism of people working without protection, paying into systems they may never benefit from. About hope, and heartbreak, and stubborn love. Jiroko brings her frontline experience in Dallas immigration courts, where policy meets real lives—families, children, and workers trying to navigate a system that often feels stacked against them. Together, they lift up voices too often silenced and share what communities can do, even when the law feels immovable. About Jiroko Lopez - Jiroko Lopez is a partner at Lopez & Freshwater, PLLC, an immigration law firm based in Richardson, Texas. Her passion for immigration law began during her undergraduate studies at Southern Methodist University (SMU), where she was hired to interview immigrants in the Dallas–Fort Worth area as part of an anthropological study. Through these interviews, she witnessed firsthand the inequality and poor working conditions many immigrants faced—an experience that inspired her to pursue a legal career focused on immigrant advocacy. After earning her law degree from SMU, Ms. Lopez began her career with Catholic Charities Legal Services. Under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, she led the legal orientation program for custodians of unaccompanied children. One year after, she co-founded her own firm and has since represented hundreds of clients before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Dallas Immigration Court. In addition to her private practice, Ms. Lopez volunteers with the SMU Criminal Clinic, screening non-citizens for potential immigration consequences of criminal convictions. Her firm also holds one of the few contracts from the Mexican Government for External Legal Assistance, providing legal aid to victims of domestic violence and violent crime. In collaboration with the Mexican Consulate in Dallas, she has helped organize free legal clinics offering immigration consultations, power of attorney services, and human trafficking screenings for the local community. Ms. Lopez has been recognized as one of D Magazine's Best Immigration Attorneys every year since 2017. She remains committed to community outreach, regularly delivering “Know Your Rights” and immigration presentations throughout the DFW area, including at Genesis Women's Shelter, local schools, places of worship, and other community organizations.

The previous president's "autopen" is under scrutiny—executive orders singed by someone other than the president. In a similar manner, in our lives, our relationship with Sin is kind of like handing over the autopen our our lives to a maniac. A whole bunch of binding decisions are made and all the while you are kind of stupefied how they happened. But when Christ is entrusted the Pen of our lives, suddenly our life begins to work. In this discussion, Eric and Nathan talk about the contrast between the power of Sin and the power of the Spirit in our lives.
