Photojournalist documents arrests at immigration hearings

Season 2025 Episode 244 | 4m 45s

The detentions have led to sometimes dramatic scenes with families pleading to let loved ones go. Geoff Bennett spoke with Victor Blue, a photojournalist who spent weeks documenting arrests at federal facilities in Manhattan.
