Hope in Action with Tracie L. Morgan and Ashley Glimasinski | Immigration News: Understand Facts, Not Fear

Immigration news can feel overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally charged. It can seem like the people around you are being easily swayed by biased media reporting, and it can be difficult to sort the facts from a narrative.

In this episode, we guide you through understanding current immigration stories, separating facts from framing, seeing the human realities behind headlines, and helping others do the same.

You’ll learn practical strategies for engaging in thoughtful conversations, recognizing your own biases, and responding to news in ways that reflect Christian values of empathy and justice. By the end, you’ll be equipped to interpret immigration stories critically, focus on human experiences rather than political rhetoric, and take small, actionable steps to help your community respond with care.
