In this special collaboration with Latino USA, Maria and Julio are joined by Camilo Montoya-Galvez, immigration reporter at CBS News. They dive deep into immigration policy in the United States and where the Biden administration stands on fulfilling campaign promises on immigration reform. They talk about the continuation of Trump-era policies like Title 42 and Remain in Mexico, and the detention and treatment of migrants and refugees seeking asylum. Finally, they get into what Democrats need to do moving forward to reimagine immigration systems in this country.
