"Immigrants are NY, refugees are NY...They saw photos of you and cried," JFK, NYC, January 28, 2017

from Reconnaissance · host Asa Mendelsohn and Fred Schmidt-Arenales

On Saturday, January 28, 2017, eight days into Donald Trump’s official reign, thousands of people gathered at JFK and at airports around the world, to demonstrate our refusal of the “Muslim ban,” and recent, despicable offenses towards immigrants and human life in general. Asa recorded the crowd outside of JFK’s Terminal 4, which grew into Saturday evening: chanting, questioning, and participating in a vigil marking the occasion of Holocaust Rememberance Day. This recording is edited from four hours of audio, which we share as a document of new and familiar rallying cries, and an overwhelming sense of history—as news arrives via human microphone that while we were occupying this space, Judge Ann Donnelly ruled an emergency stay on deportations on those with valid visas who were detained following Trump’s executive order. What else can we make at our airports?
