On this episode we're joined by Jackie Llanos. Jackie is an immigration reporter for NOTUS, which stands for News of the United States, a newsroom that covers significant national issues and politics.
Jackie has been with them for 6 months on a two-year fellowship. Previously she was a reporter in Florida for States Newsroom. She is a graduate of the University of Richmond.
Jackie talked about covering immigration from the bureaucratic perspective, focusing on the legal and legislative system, as well as a story she did in her previous job about a U.S. citizen being taken and imprisoned by ICE, which she learned about through a Facebook group.
