Mass deportations—An anti-worker agenda that harms everyone

News about immigration and deportations are on the front page every day. The immediate trauma of these lawless, violent attacks on immigrants and communities is clear, but the longer-term economic fallout of aggressive immigration enforcement will harm all workers, as well as the broader economy and labor market.

EPI’s Director of Immigration Law and Policy Research Daniel Costa and Senior Economist Ben Zipperer join National Domestic Workers Alliance Vice President of Policy and Advocacy Haeyoung Yoon in a conversation moderated by Deputy Director of EPI’s Economic Analysis and Research Network (EARN) Jennifer Sherer.

Originally held October 15, 2026.
