Title 42 recently expired. Santiago Marquez, the CEO of the Latin America Association (LAA), talks with Rose about how the association is preparing to respond to a possible influx of migrants to Atlanta. Kathy Armistead created the Feeney Legacy Project to memorialize her son, Feeney, who died on April 15, 2022, of a cocaine overdose. Armistead serves as the nonprofit’s executive director and her sister, Patti Feeney Matthews, serves as the treasurer. They talk with Rose about efforts to bring awareness to Georgia's medical amnesty law, which Feeney's friends were not aware of and could have saved his life.
