Biden Will Temporarily Bar Most Asylum Seekers At US Border
Following several record-high months for migrants crossings at the U.S. southern border last year, President Biden is taking executive action to swiftly deport would-be asylum seekers when the seven-day average of unauthorized crossings exceeds 2,500. It echoes past Trump administration policies and, pending expected court challenges, implements provisions laid out in a doomed bipartisan reform proposal negotiated earlier this year.

Weekly Roundup: Democracy and the Courts
Donald Trump, convicted yesterday of 34 felonies, held an event this morning where he continued his attacks on the judge who oversaw his case and the legal system as a whole. His allegations of a "rigged" process and politically-motivated judiciary have been echoed by Republican lawmakers of all stripes, in a major erosion of democratic norms.
And Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is refusing to recuse himself from any cases after New York Times reporting revealed that flags associated with election denial and the Christian nationalist movement flew outside of his residences.
This episode: White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram, political reporter Ximena Bustillo, senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro, and national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson.

Democrats Haven't Won North Carolina Since 2008. Can Biden?

Customer Reviews
A big but
I’ve followed these hosts since the 2016 election. I’m more right leaning but NPR was always the center left news source that was balanced with a little bias. but over the last year it’s gotten completely out of hand. Combined with the Uri and Katherine Maher scandal, I don’t know how much longer I’ll listen. It would be great if they addressed the issue, but they won’t.
Left leaning
Very left leaning conversations. Not bipartisan at all!
Hyperpartisan
I started listening to NPR during the 70’s realizing then it provided a left of center perspective. Nevertheless, I found it informative, worth listening to, and supporting. During the last several years it moved further left until it became unbearable. After listening to the self described “Mothers of NPR” tell about the hiring a colleague I said enough. I no longer listen to NPR for news. Instead I listen to learn how the coastal elite are using propaganda to shape society in their image.
