Recent executive orders from the Trump administration have effectively halted refugee resettlement and severely impacted humanitarian immigration programs, forcing organizations like Exodus Refugee in Indianapolis to adapt their operations and temporarily close their doors for safety of the people they serve. On this Emergency Episode of Conversation Piece, Cole Varga, Executive Director of Exodus Refugee Immigration, comes by the studio to discuss how these policy changes are affecting local immigrant communities. We also talk about the work Exodus has done for the past four decades to provide legal assistance, employment services, and other support while advocating against anti-immigrant legislation at both state and federal levels, the significant economic and cultural contributions immigrants make to Indianapolis and America as a whole, and how those with the privilege of citizenship can help.
