Hi everybody. I'm Amidale Yuckpah from See Something Say Something. This episode, we're going to be doing something a little different, which I feel like we've been saying that a lot. But it's true. This season has been a lot of fun. We've been doing a lot of new things. We're going to be bringing you two different stories about Trump's immigration policies. We're going to talk to a lawyer about the new travel ban, and we're also going to travel to Michigan to talk to some immigrant communities. So later say something. Nothing at all.

Nothing at all.

So later that episode, you're going to be hearing a conversation with Bahir Ozmi,

who's the legal director for the Center for Constitutional Rights.

We're going to be talking about the new proclamation of travel restrictions,

also known as Travel Ban 3.0.

And he's gonna talk with us about why he thinks

these new restrictions can still be called a Muslim ban,

even though North Korea and Venezuela

have been added to the list.

The first story though is about a group

of Iraqi Christians living in Michigan

who are targeted by ice and a raid over the summer.

Before the original travel ban, Iraq was one of a handful of countries that wouldn't accept deportees from the United States.

But when it showed up on the first list of seven banned countries, Iraq decided to make a deal.

They said, take us off the list and we'll take the U.S.

deportees. And since then, 288 Iraqis living in the U.S. have been picked up for deportation.

So this next story is going to come to you from our producer, Megan Dietrich, who went to Michigan

to talk with their families and their community leaders.

Most of these people come from a religious and ethnic minority from Iraq, the Chaldean Christians.

They do not identify as Arab, although they are often misidentified as such,

and are victims of a lot of ISIS's persecution in Iraq.
