Article/Op-Ed in In the Room with Peter Bergen
April 23, 2024

In Episode 51 of his podcast "In the Room with Peter Bergen," New America Vice President and ASU Professor of Practice Peter Bergen continues his examination of the migrant crisis, this time looking at its expression in Chicago:

Busloads of migrants have been arriving in northern cities for the past two years, testing the patience of some residents and bringing out empathy in others. We go to Chicago to find out what the real, local effects of this surge are — not just what the politicians with their megaphones say they are. And we explore some solutions to a problem that has become the number one issue on voters' minds in this crucial election year.
