Guests: Star Reporters Nicholas Keung and Mark Ramzy

Introduced last week by the federal government—the Strong Borders Act seeks to overhaul how refugee claims are processed, expand powers for border and intelligence officials, and tighten enforcement—all framed as a response to sprawling asylum backlogs and escalating pressure from the U.S. and Donald Trump, including concerns about fentanyl trafficking.

Two Star reporters covering federal politics and immigration unpack the politics, the policy and the politics behind the policy.
