This week, The Daily is revisiting some of our favorite episodes of the year and checking in on what has happened in the time since.
In his first 100 days in office this term, President Trump struggled to fulfill his promise to carry out mass deportations, a reality that has prompted his administration to change its strategy.
Rather than putting its focus on migrants with a criminal record, or those who recently crossed the border, the White House is increasingly seeking to deport those who came to the United States decades ago and who have established a life, career and family in America.
Jessica Cheung, a producer on “The Daily,” tells the story of one such migrant through the eyes of his daughter.
Guest: Jessica Cheung, a senior producer at The New York Times, working on “The Daily.”
