🎙️ Our latest “The Stakes Explained” podcast on KALW’s “Bay Made” —featuring interviews with campus scholars, community experts and journalists about the executive orders and policies coming from the Trump administration—focuses on immigration.
Professor Shereen Marisol Meraji interviews David Hausman, professor at Berkeley Law School and head of the Deportation Data Project about the executive order “Protecting the American People Against Invasion”.
This policy significantly expanded the scope of immigration enforcement, making it possible to arrest and deport anyone without legal status, even if they had no criminal record.
Understanding how immigration enforcement works, and how policies are framed, helps us separate political narratives from legal realities.

Executive order 14192 is titled Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation. But what does deregulation really mean and who actually benefits?
Michael Mark Cohen, Associate Teaching Professor of American Studies and African American Studies at UC Berkeley, broke it down in an interview with reporter NeEddra James (’26).
He explains how and why large enterprises often support deregulation to keep smaller enterprises from entering the market.
This latest “The Stakes Explained” podcast — featuring interviews with campus scholars, community experts and journalists about the executive orders and policies coming from the Trump administration — is now on @KALW ’s “Bay Made.”

Emmy-award winning Puerto Rican journalist @biancagraulau was selected to be the keynote speaker at UC Berkeley Journalism's Commencement ceremony on Sunday, May 17. Graulau spent eight years working as a reporter in local TV news before leaving that world in 2020. Since then, she’s built an audience of 700,00 on TikTok and 350,000 on Instagram for deeply reported video explainers on global conflicts and pressing social issues. She gets millions of views on her stories, including on a doc she made for Bad Bunny — “Aquí Vive Gente” — that accompanied one of his music videos. The doc went viral. Read a Q&A with Graulau at our link in bio where she shares her views on independent journalism, anti-colonialism, AI and, of course, Bad Bunny.

About the Documentary
Filmed in the northeastern mountains of Pakistan, the pair follow a group of researchers aiding a small farming community to revive an ancient practice used to seed a new glacier—as rising temperatures threaten traditional ways of life.
