To reach his promised deportation numbers, Trump increasingly sought to deport those without a criminal record, those who came to the U.S.

decades ago and who have established lives, careers, and family in this country.

Daily producer Jessica Chung told the story of one such man who was detained this year through the eyes of his daughter.

It's Tuesday, December 30th.

After the break, senior producer Jessica Chung on what happened after Isla reunited with her father.

Today's episode was reported and produced by Jessica Chung.

It was edited by Michael Benoit and Jody Becker, with help from Ben Calhoun.

It was fact-checked by Susan Lee, contains music by Dan Powell, Pat McCusker, Alicia Baetube, Will Reed, and Marion Lozano, and was engineered by Alyssa Moxley, Rowan Emisto, and Chris Wood.

That's it for The Daily.

I'm Michael Barbaro.

See you tomorrow.

Hey, it's Michael.

This week, The Daily is revisiting some of our favorite episodes this year, listening back and hearing what's happened in the time since they first ran.

Today, we return to our conversation with Thomas Sipp, the lawyer who quit his job at a prestigious corporate law firm after his bosses gave in to legally dubious demands from President Trump.

And we hear how Sipp views that moment now, eight months later.

It's Monday, December 29th.

Thomas, welcome to The Daily.

Thanks for having me.

I'm getting the small sense that this is a nerve-wracking experience for you even before it started.

I'm just seeing it on your face.
