East, Associate Professor in Economics at the University of Colorado Boulder, and Aaron Sojourner, Senior Economist and Deputy Director of Research at W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research, join Erica Williams, Executive Director of DC Fiscal Policy Institute for a discussion on how the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign is harming workers, businesses, and the broader economy with case studies on Minneapolis and the greater Washington, D.C. region.
