On Assignment – Details, episodes & analysis

Immigration enforcement agents have stepped up raids, detaining farmworkers, restaurant staff, meat packers, day laborers and construction workers. The Trump administration says the raids protect public safety and national security. Critics say they create fear among workers the country badly needs and impact asylum seekers trying to do the right thing. The first episode of On Assignment examines the impact of these raids across the country, from California to a New York courthouse. Sign up for the Reuters Econ World newsletter ⁠here⁠.
