A look back at immigration laws passed in 1996, under the Clinton administration, that radically changed how the U.S. immigration system operates today, and a conversation with Tony Chen, a restaurant manager and father of three in New York City, who - because of these changes - spent seven months detained by ICE in the Bergen County Jail in Hackensack, New Jersey.We end with an update on the 2019 Supreme Court ruling in Nielsen v. Preap, and a recent win by the Corporate Backers of Hate campaign.This episode was produced in collaboration with Freedom for Immigrants and the Immigrant Rights Clinic of NYU Law School.
