Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss how Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration policies are affecting Christian communities across the country. With fears of detention and deportation rising, some immigrant Christians have stopped attending church altogether, while others worship quietly or remain at home. Faith leaders describe empty pews, canceled services, and ministries going underground, raising concerns that religious liberty is being chilled as churches struggle to protect vulnerable congregants.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the court case Brown v. Alaska Airlines, involving flight attendants fired after questioning their employer’s support for the Equality Act. After posting comments on an internal forum, the employees were investigated, disparaged by union officials, and terminated. Their case, now before the Ninth Circuit, raises critical questions about free speech, religious dissent, and workplace retaliation.
