We return to Fred—an Afghan combat interpreter who served with American soldiers for more than 13 years. After years of denials, an ad hoc team of lawyers and veterans tried to push his Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) application through federal bureaucracy. Then, we describe how a new president aimed to bring the SIV program to a screeching halt.

Guests: Fred, Dave Lemoine, Sari Long, @Sari_Long, Jonathan Schroden @JJSchroden, Olivia Troye @OliviaTroye, Mark Storella @MarkStorella
