Afghan man detained despite following legal asylum procedure

Season 2025 Episode 304 | 8m 15s

The Trump administration’s anti-immigration agenda has included efforts to cut back on both illegal and legal pathways into the country. Thursday, the president set the lowest-ever cap on refugee entries at 7,500 per year. At the same time, more than 2.2 million migrants are awaiting asylum hearings. Amna Nawaz sat down with the family member of an asylum seeker caught up in the restrictions.
