Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Last week, immigration officials deported a mother of two from Falls Church, Va., despite efforts from Governor Terry McAuliffe, who said she did not present a public safety threat. In Sterling, Va., police arrested a 22-year-old undocumented resident for the murder of a Muslim teenager, Nabra Hassanen. Kojo checks in with the region’s immigrant community in the aftermath of these two events, and explores what part immigration status plays, if any, in the conversation about the tragic death of Hassanen.
