TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15
PROGRAM # 9534 12:00 PM PT
Immigration Edition.
The US government should reinvest millions DHS spends on detention into a universal legal representation program, guaranteeing legal counsel for all immigrants facing deportation, advocates propose. In other news: calling it an “out-of-the-box” and “viable” idea, supported by history and jurisprudence, an academic leader is urging President Biden to pardon all undocumented immigrants and deported parents of US citizen children. Finally, according to a revealing study, sheriffs in California’s Central Valley have managed to transfer people in local jails to ICE through shadow systems, skirting state law, which bans this type of collaboration.
Guests: Prof. Armando Vazquez-Ramos, President and CEO, The California-Mexico Studies Center, Long Beach, CA; Nancy Treviño, Associate Director for Network Power, Alianza Américas, Washington, DC; Gonzalo Santos, Professor Emeritus, Sociologist, California State University Bakersfield, Bakersfield, CA.
