Today on Boston Public Radio:

Ali Noorani talks about the resignation of Ambassador Daniel Foote, Special Envoy for Haiti, as the Biden Administration comes under fire for its treatment of Haitian refugees at the border. Noorani is the President & Chief Executive Officer of the National Immigration Forum. His forthcoming book is Crossing Borders: The Reconciliation of a Nation of Immigrants.

Then, we ask listeners for their thoughts on the Biden Administration’s handling of the humanitarian crisis and treatment of Haitian migrants at the border.

Callie Crossley continues the conversation about the treatment of Haitian migrants, and weighs in on the mayor’s race and perceptions of Annissa Essaibi George as OFD, or “Originally From Dorchester,” and Michelle Wu as NFH, or “Not From Here,” born in Chicago. Crossley hosts GBH’s Under the Radar and Basic Black.

Andy Ihnatko weighs in on accusations of labor issues at Apple, newest potential security leaks and Gen-Z struggles with older technology. Ihnatko is a tech writer and blogger, posting at Ihnatko.com.

Sue O' Connell discusses the status of LGBTQ+ rights with the ten year anniversary of the end of the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy, which kept LGBTQ+ service members in the closet. O’Connell is the co-publisher of Bay Windows and the South End News, as well as NECN's political commentator and explainer-in-chief.

John King updates listeners on the results of the Arizona audit of the 2020 presidential election, which confirmed President Joe Biden’s win. He also talks about current political gridlock around the Infrastructure Bill. King is CNN's Chief National Correspondent and anchor of "Inside Politics,” which airs weekdays and Sunday mornings at 8 a.m.

We end the show with guest and staff tributes to outgoing BPR producer Chelsea Merz, who is leaving GBH after over ten years.
