Immigration Mini Series - Recast of Law, Policy, and Disabled Immigrants (Katherine Perez & Roxana Moussavian Season 2)
from Down to the Struts · host Qudsiya Naqui
As the Trump administration Continues to unleash Immigration officers into our communities from Los Angeles to Minneapolis, to murder and terrorize undocumented people and citizens alike, we wanted to highlight the specific dangers that disabled immigrants face, and the disabling impacts of ICE enforcement and detention in this very special mini series on the intersection of immigration and disability. We’ll start by reprising our season 2 premiere, Law, policy, and disabled immigrants, Featuring immigration and disability experts Katherine Perez and Roxana Moussavian. This episode is an excellent primer on the history of racism and ableism in the American immigration system, and how the targeting and exclusion of disabled immigrants continues to manifest in modern immigration law and policy. This is an urgent listen to help us all understand how we arrived at our current moment. You can find more information and resources on the original episode page on our website. Also check out Qudsiya’s recent op-ed with esteemed co-author Conchita Hernandez Legorreta about the critical need to bring disability thinking into the movement for immigrant liberation.Visit our website for transcripts.-- Subscribe to Qudsiya's Substack, Getting Down To It Support the team behind the podcast with a donationLet us know what you think with a comment or review on Apple podcasts.
