🎙️ Today’s Conversation
I break down a disturbing Indianapolis story: nearly 40 immigrants were denied the Oath of Allegiance at a naturalization ceremony—despite completing every step of the process—reflecting a broader pattern of federal immigration intimidation and policy shifts targeting specific countries.
I talk about what this means for immigrant communities here in Indiana, the risks facing undocumented adoptees, and how these actions connect to other disenfranchisement efforts happening nationally and locally.
