Are Legal Immigrants the New Enemy?

Focal Point

About this episode

On today's episode, Andy and Bryan Callen examine how the Trump administration's immigration crackdown has expanded beyond undocumented immigrants to include legal residents, foreign tourists, and even students. From the arrest of a Georgetown professor to the detention of German visitors, critics say these actions weaponize immigration law to suppress political dissent, particularly around pro-Palestinian activism. Officials call it "enhanced vetting" for national security; opponents warn it erodes free speech and sets a dangerous precedent.
