If elected to a second term Donald Trump has promised to carry out “the largest domestic deportation operation in American history” in addition to other harsh approaches to immigration. President Joe Biden, who has long been criticized for continuing many Trump era immigration policies, now faces increasing pressure from both parties to step up enforcement as a record number of migrants are crossing the southern border. We talk with The Atlantic reporter Caitlin Dickerson, who won a 2023 Pulitzer Prize for her immigration reporting, about global migration pressures and the future of US policy.
