Connections With Evan Dawson

What is a “compassionate” response to immigration? The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is participating in a community forum on the subject. The Trump administration has said it expects local law enforcement to work side-by-side with ICE. We discuss the subject with our guests, who are joining the Mercy Spirituality Center’s upcoming event. In studio: Brigid Ryan, executive director of the Mercy Spirituality Center Deputy Ray Ruiz, community liaison for the Monroe County Sheriff's Office Esma Nacakgedigi, attorney and immigration services manager at Rochester Refugee Resettlement Services ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.
