The Trump administration has set limits on how many people can claim asylum each day at ports of entry. With months-long waits for interviews, migrant families are instead attempting sometimes risky border crossings. Even when they are processed, families are torn apart. Seven children have died while in U.S. custody, and that has led to questions about the treatment provided by U.S. authorities. The Counter Stories team looks at America's history of immigration, and what's changed. Hosts: • Don Eubanks, associate professor at Metropolitan State University and cultural consultant • Anthony Galloway, executive director of Arts Us • Hlee Lee, owner of "the other media group" • Luz Maria Frias, attorney and legal consultant • Marianne Combs, arts reporter for MPR News With guest Kara Lynum, immigration lawyer at Lynum Law. To listen to the full conversation you can use the audio player above.

Brian and Carin are joined this week by immigration attorney Kara Lynum and Jason Flohrs from Americans for Prosperity. The democrats have leveled up in their political violence tactics, is it justified? What does being a sanctuary city actually entail? Where do candidates Walz and Johnson fall in this? The Attorney General race is heating up for sure: Keith Ellison's divorce records were unsealed this week and Doug Wardlow is concerned about the 'other' constitution. Jason isn't going to read Teen Vogue any more.
What is the definition of a Sanctuary City? You might be surprised to learn there isn't one. The term is just one of many meant to describe a growing number of policies aimed at making life better for immigrants in our communities. Ian Bratlie, an attorney with the ACLU of Minnesota, talks with host Kara Lynum about what these policies are (and aren't), and how they're being used today.
Kara Lynum begins Season 2 looking back at the last several months and how immigration laws and policies continue to change at a rapid pace.

Carin and Brian are joined this week by Jason Flohrs from Americans for Prosperity and immigration attorney, Kara Lynum. Hurricane Florence will soon make landfall and where Trump actually fits into all of this. How ICE may be in some way involved, and the bad prioritization throughout the government at large. Why we are, and should still be talking about Puerto Rico. KSTP has released some new polls and the results are somewhat surprising, but not for why you may think. Oh, and Jason is now a social justice warrior.
Carin and Brian are joined by immigration attorney Kara Lynum and Walter Hudson, host of TCNT's Closing Argument, dive deep straight away into the Blevins shooting in Minneapolis and police tactics. The "Problem" with Tim Pawlenty. And Donald Trump can't seem to get along with anyone, even the Koch brothers, which leads us to, Globalism vs Free Trade.
It's the final episode of our first season! Usually you want to go out on a high note, but the work ahead and the specter of egregious immigration policies yet to come make that a difficult task.
